The reluctant hero turned Corellian Captain, Han Solo, made his triumphant debut in his "medal ceremony" attire in The Vintage Collection in 2011 as part of Wave 5. Representing his cleaned-up look from the final moments of A New Hope, this figure captured Han in a rare moment of formal recognition. It provided collectors with a super-articulated version of the smuggler in his black vest and yellow-striped "hero" trousers, finally allowing for a definitive recreation of the Great Temple celebration on Yavin IV.

Technical Details & Sculpt

• Design & Heroic Silhouette: The sculpt features Han in his open-collar white shirt and black vest, which is a separate, soft-plastic piece that adds depth to the torso. The trousers feature the iconic yellow "Corellian Bloodstripe," rendered with sharp, clean lines that distinguish this formal look from his more rugged Smuggler gear.
• Deco & Likeness: The 2011 release features a hand-painted application that captures a rare, genuine smile from Harrison Ford’s character. The paintwork on the shirt is a crisp off-white, while the vest has a matte black finish to simulate heavy fabric. The metallic silver hits on the belt and buckle provide a sharp contrast to the darker elements of the uniform.
• Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, and knees. The ball-jointed hips and torso allow Han to stand at a rigid, respectful "attention" during the ceremony or to lean casually against a temple pillar after the festivities.
• Display Utility: This is the mandatory "protagonist" for any Yavin IV Medal Ceremony or Rebel Briefing diorama. He is best positioned between Luke Skywalker (VC39) and Princess Leia (VC02).

Accessories & Equipment

Han Solo comes prepared for both celebration and a quick exit. He includes his signature DL-44 heavy blaster pistol, featuring a dark metallic finish and a detailed scope. A standout feature of the 2011 release is the removable Medal of Bravery; the medal is a gold-painted plastic piece with a realistic "ribbon" that fits securely around his neck. Additionally, he features a functional holster on his right hip, allowing for secure weapon storage while he accepts his honors from the Princess.
