The 2018 Star Wars The Black Series Lando Calrissian (#65) captures Donald Glover’s charismatic, stylish interpretation of the galaxy’s smoothest gambler in Solo: A Star Wars Story. This figure represents Lando during the Vandor Sabacc sequence — confident, impeccably dressed, and already a legend in his own mind. The sculpt blends swagger, tailoring, and personality, making it one of the standout human figures of the Red Line era.
Released as part of Wave 17, Lando arrived alongside the Range Trooper and other Solo‑focused releases. His design is a perfect match for the film’s retro‑70s aesthetic: bold colors, sharp lines, and a cape that feels like a character in its own right. The figure includes a yellow cape with black lining, a sculpted scarf, and a compact blaster pistol — all essential elements of Lando’s early persona.
The portrait is a highlight, capturing Donald Glover’s likeness with expressive eyes, sculpted hair, and a confident smirk. The costume detailing — from the belt buckle to the cape clasp — reflects the film’s emphasis on fashion and personality. This is not just a smuggler; this is a man who dresses to win.
