Sideshow Collectibles thought this piece out carefully and came up with an incredible way to offer multiple display options while remaining as faithful as they could to the film.Īll eight panels on the carbonite block are removable. We’re quite taken with how well this product has been developed. The two positions and appearances are so different from each other that it feels like you get two collectibles for the price of one here. And then this collectible comes with an interchangeable post so that you can place Han Solo In Carbonite in a “lying down” floating position just like how we saw Boba Fett and the Cloud City wing guards transfer him to the Slave I for delivery to Jabba the Hutt. The side underneath the dark side of the floor is a white tile to recreate the hallways of Cloud City. But then you have an alternate display option. Han Solo In Carbonite looks best in the upright position with the orange lighting. The first option comes with orange lighting (thanks to a removable filter) to give this collectible an environmental feel of the Bespin gantry where Han Solo was frozen in carbonite by the Ugnaughts. What’s more, Sideshow Collectibles has approached the display options for this piece to allow collectors to recreate two different scenes from The Empire Strikes Back. Han Solo In Carbonite shines, and with the inclusion of alternate display options, we can only see how this high-end collectible will quickly become a collector favorite.Īs stated a moment ago, Han Solo In Carbonite is based on scenes from The Empire Strikes Back. The differences for this release are notable, and we think overall that this piece will have a greater impact on the collecting community than the first version did. Starting from the ground up, Sideshow Collectibles has revisited the sculpting, the colorization, and the display approach for this Episode V inspired version of Han Solo In Carbonite. We truly appreciate it when Hasbro feels the need to double dip in products they’ve already produced that they make it different enough the second time that it warrants a purchase. The new and improved 2017 version is based on the prop’s appearance from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Also, of important note, the 2009 release is based on the prop’s appearance from Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi. Interestingly, the piece from 2009 was categorized as an environment, while the new version contains electronics and is dubbed and a “figure.” Either way, the 2017 model is a significant upgrade to their first attempt. It’s difficult to comprehend that eight years separate Sideshow Collectibles’ 2009’s Han Solo In Carbonite 1:6 Scale Figure Environment and 2017’s Han Solo In Carbonite 1:6 Scale Figure.
