The 2018 Star Wars The Black Series Han Solo (Mimban) (#78) captures Han at one of the lowest points in his early life — conscripted into the Imperial Army and thrown into the brutal mud‑choked trenches of Mimban. This figure represents Han before he becomes the smuggler we know, still wearing Imperial mudtrooper armor and fighting in a war he wants no part of. The sculpt is gritty, layered, and one of the most atmospheric releases in the Solo subline.
Released as part of Wave 21, this figure arrived alongside Rio Durant and other late‑Solo characters. The sculpt is heavily detailed, featuring mud‑spattered armor, a removable mudtrooper helmet, a tattered cape, and a full Alden Ehrenreich portrait beneath the mask. The armor blends stormtrooper, tank trooper, and trench‑warfare influences, matching the film’s grounded, World‑War‑I‑inspired aesthetic.
The removable helmet is a highlight — screen‑accurate, sharply sculpted, and perfectly fitted. The cape adds silhouette and motion, while the blaster rifle completes the Imperial infantry loadout.
