Did we really need this Last 17 Han Solo in Carbonite action figure, when we already had the The Empire Strikes Back carbonite block from Slave I? And what was going on with the mould for this Han Solo in Carbonite figure with its fat swollen neck? It looked like Han Solo with tonsillitis. Compared to other Kenner Han Solo figures, during his stay in carbonite freeze Han also appears to have developed a six pack and a torso. By comparison the Bespin Han Solo figure is pretty much a straight up and down lanky streak of piss. The whole point of Han when he comes out of hibernation is that he's a little withered and weak and half blind, he hasn't walked into a telephone box and suddenly come back out with the physique of Superman. However, this Kenner Last 17 Han Solo in Carbonite figure along with the Last 17 Barada are both erring towards the bulkiness of the early Power of the Force 2 range and they seem to be part of the evolution of Star Wars action figures towards something quite aesthetically displeasing.
Find Last 17 Han Solo in Carbonite action figure on eBay
If you want the Kenner Last 17 Han Solo figure complete with his carbonite block these days he's pretty expensive and prices are going up steadily. Unfortunately I don't have the original carbonite block but I'm happy enough just to have the Last 17 Han Solo figure for now.
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.
