The galaxy’s most charismatic smuggler returned to The Vintage Collection in 2020 as part of Wave 7. This reissue of Han Solo (Bespin Outfit) captures Harrison Ford’s iconic look from the betrayal at Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back. Originally a 2011 release, this 2020 refresh was an essential update for fans of the Original Trilogy, providing a significant visual leap that brings the character in line with modern collector standards for the 40th Anniversary of Episode V.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Cloud City Silhouette: The sculpt faithfully recreates Han’s sophisticated "Bespin" look, featuring his midnight-blue jacket, textured tan shirt, and the signature pinstriped trousers with the Corellian Bloodstripe. The figure maintains the lean, confident posture that defined Han Solo’s presence on Bespin.
- Photo-Real Deco: The 2020 reissue is headlined by the application of Photo-real technology. This provides a visceral, realistic update to Harrison Ford's likeness, capturing the subtle intensity and rugged charm that was previously hand-painted in the 2011 version. The skin tones and eyes are much more effective here, making this the definitive 3.75-inch Bespin Han.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The specialized "swivel" wrists and ball-jointed hips allow the smuggler to lean against a Carbonite chamber console or take a defensive, quick-draw stance against Darth Vader’s ambush.
- Display Utility: This is the mandatory "hero" for any Cloud City or Carbonite Freezing Chamber diorama. He is best positioned directly next to Princess Leia (Bespin Gown) (VC111) or confronting Lando Calrissian (VC139).
Accessories & Equipment
Han Solo comes prepared for a treacherous dinner with the Empire. He includes his signature DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, featuring a dark metallic finish and a detailed grip. A standout feature of the 2020 release is the improved holster functionality; the holster on his right hip is scaled perfectly to house the blaster securely while he’s navigating the corridors of Bespin, yet remains loose enough for a "quick-draw" pose when the Imperial trap is sprung.
