Kenner Han Solo (Bespin Outfit) Action Figure: Overview

Han Solo Figure Bespin Outfit portrait

The Kenner Han Solo Bespin Outfit action figure suffered very badly from paint loss. Han's hair, hands and boots all tend to suffer and it can be rather hard to find a pristine copy. Because the undercoat of paint for the figure is a dark blue, the paint loss stands out more starkly which spoils the aesthetic of the Bespin Han Solo very much indeed. Han is not alone here and I would go so far as to say that the Hoth action figures from The Empire Strikes Back were generally better painted than the Bespin ones.

This Han action figure carries a Bespin blaster which is the same as that carried by the Lando Calrissian, Lobot and Bespin Security Guard action figures as well as the AT-AT Commander. In the film though Han carries his own tradmark blaster on Bespin up until the point Darth Vader Force grabs it out of his hand. After that Han is weaponless throughout the rest of his appearances. As such the Bespin blaster is rather incongruous and a shame since the Force grab scene across the Cloud City dining room is so iconic.

All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.

All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
