Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back - Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett by Hot Toys
I have been waiting for a Hot Toys Lando for years and have even gone so far as to write them a couple times a year to kick the tires on it. This figure looks great. I hope it does well enough to convince them to put out a Lando in his General Calrissian attire from ROTJ.
About f****** time. I will put my money where my mouth is and preorder Calrissian immediately.
Because that's what you do when companies make things people actually want.
Interesting tease of the Bespin Escape Leia in one of the photos. That would be a cheap and easy release for them to do since its all existing parts (Hoth jumpsuit, ANH Leia boots, Bespin Leia headsculpt).
Meanwhile we're STILL waiting for Bespin Han which was teased long ago in the photos of the Bespin Leia figure that has already shipped. What's the hold up with that one?!
I think this look Great! Glad we're getting some new characters here and they haven't forgotten the OT! Already preordered!
Meanwhile we're STILL waiting for Bespin Han which was teased long ago in the photos of the Bespin Leia figure that has already shipped. What's the hold up with that one?!
I know it's hearsay but a guy in a FB group works for Marvel/Disney, and he says it's Ford is the hold up for licensing approval.
Lando looks great!
They could just re-use the same headsculpt for their ANH Han which was pretty good already, and change the hairstyle to match his ESB hair. I don't see why there's be any issues with the likeness even if Ford has some small say in it. It was a pretty convincing headsculpt.
For what it's worth, this same guy told me they were working on Lando and here he is. Whether they have the rights or not, maybe there's still some final "OK" that Ford has to give? There's really just no other explanation to me as to why they haven't done one then. They would've sold a lot more Bespin Leias if they had a Han to go with her.

Sideshow pre-orders added to the post.
Lando - $235
Boba Fett - $285
They've already done ANH Han and TFA Han, so some approval hold up for Bespin Han seems odd and unlikely to me. Ford really shouldn't have any official say in it. So the delay in releasing this is very strange, especially when its a main character in an iconic outfit that would sell really well, on top of this year being the 40th anniversary of ESB and Hot Toys gradually offering ESB themed characters all throughout the year. Bespin Han is a major omission on that part.
There's only 2 reasons I can fathom that Hot Toys has yet to do a Han from ESB/RotJ, 1) they cannot get a good sculpt, which is totally possible. Even the "good" custom sculpts I see for Han or Indy aren't absolutely perfect from what I've seen. And 2) they need his likeness approval and he won't give it.
Like I mentioned before, imagine how much better Bespin Leia would've sold if it went up for preorder at the same time as as a Bespin Han? I totally passed and am still passing on that Leia, but I might at the time preordered both. If Hot Toys or Lucasfilm has the rights totally for Han, there's no reason not to make one now.
The only thing that makes it very hard to understand is that the Black Series is still doing many Han figures, RotJ coming up and Bespin the last couple years. It truly makes NO sense if the rights are not the problem.
They look really cool...
If your into SW, This might be for you...
