Teased for a while, confirmed by magazine scans a week ago, and getting a release because of the upcoming EP9 in which at least one definitely won’t appear, we finally get old Han and Crait Luke!
And it may be Google translator but I love the Han description. ” Han Solo, who has a solid popularity in the classic series of episodes 4, 5 and 6, will appear in the long-awaited episode 7 edition! ” Y’know, he was popular at one time, but here’s this version. ” Reviving in a realistic form that feels the weight of time.” His oldness is reproduced perfectly!
But, I gotta admit, I love this version. Older, arguably wiser, just as cocky but a bit sad. And while I was okay with the Black Series at the time of it’s release, it just doesn’t have that Photo Real oomph. This is replacing it for sure.
Comes with hands and swappable holsters.
And these are just about perfect…
Luke’s description isn’t as amusing, but it does mention the “teacher and brother confrontation” which may just be translating snafu. I do enjoy “The included dice tickle the fan’s heart.” While I know some hate The Last Jedi with a passion, you gotta admit the Crait look was a natural progression for Luke’s appearance. OT inspired with some PT flavor.
And it nails the look from the movie, although someone mentioned the second wind-swept head as looking like Chuck Norris and I can’t unsee it. I don’t usually fall for that but I’m in deep this time.
Besides the alternate head, Luke includes several sets of hands, two lightsaber options, and the aforementioned fan tickling dice.
Both Han and Luke go up for pre-order August 1st, with a release in December for about $70.
