Star Wars Black Series Bespin Han Solo The Empire Strikes Back Hasbro Review
Ойын-сауық
I was able to snag the Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Bespin Han Solo from The Empire Strikes Back a little early and man, the wait was worth it! Mostly. The new photo real tech is kicking ass but the likeness here is a bit off. Or confusing...

Yes, Hasbro! Way to go! The face printing, the elbows going past 90 degrees, the proper up down hand hinge for weapons, and the overall paint and sculpt detail all add up to one hell of a figure! Great job!
I like the head here more than the SHF. Maybe it’s the SHF’s paint, but still Hasbro really outdid an SHF head sculpt IMO
His face looks han from battlefront 2. It somehow looks animated

Bespin Han and Luke were my two favourite vintage figures as a kid, been waiting for this figure for a while. I agree completely without seeing it in hand, some angles look very Harrison Ford and others not so much, but like you said even Hot Toys and Sideshow can't nail a younger Harrison Ford's likeness.

@@dreyn7780 Well allow me to retort. I was born in 1976 which makes me 44 years old. The ESB figures were released in 1980, hence we know you are an imbecile.
Wow...this is a perfect han solo figure! Way better looking than the first one!!!
I actually like the face sculpt, though hair could’ve been done slightly better, and I agree by the time the 40th Anniversary rolls around I’m sure the head sculpt will be somewhat updated. Hopefully SH Figuarts is going to be doing one soon also as well.
lol great intro!! Nice detailed review, good articulation. Bespin Han has always been my fav :)
That Gus clip was killer!
SHF still has the most accurate headsculpt of Han, but this one is quite good. However, i was hoping for more than quite good with hasbro's new face printing tech. Will still try to get this.
SH Figuarts Bespin Han Solo is just over the horizon. Besides, Harrison Ford doesn't have Tom Selleck's eyebrows.

I'm digging the hell out of this! I really think you're over thinking this lol. Great looking figure. I hope Hasbro does the Empire vintage card back version.
I think the head looks really good. I'll take it.
Auto thumbs up for The Fwoosh. That intro was effen high-larious !
Good review Robo! Can't wait to pick him up! Bespin was always my favorite look for Han.
The figure and head finish looks pretty good to me....can't wait to get this!
Entertaining as always. I’m REALLY trying to hold off until the Dengar wave to pick this up along with the whole case.
Best Han face sculpt! Very nice!
He looks really good in a 3/4 angle. Much better than the ANH figure, in fact, I hope they give us a new ANH Han w/the new digital printed technology & a better head sculpt.
Intro rocked lol, i need this figure.
🤣 nice beginning Fwoosh..I like the Lando figure walking away from Fett 😂
Ever since SOLO Lando , I just want all Hasbro figures to have that wonderful neck joint. @4:00 I think one thing throwing off the likeness is the pale skintone. Watching that dinner scene with Vader over, Han skews very pink. lol @ 3:26

Great review or bespin Han, looking forward to have one. Enjoyed watching.😄

Got mine today. I even skipped the new hope version knowing I liked this look the best.

I think They'll Add Articulation like the Butterfly Joints on the Rebel Trooper when they're Required, but Han Never really got into that Double Handed Pose Holding his Blaster. Saying that, I'm All For Added Articulation like the Rebel Trooper, Long as It's Hidden and doesn't affect or Cut Up the Sculpt.
This is the end all be all figure. Nice review Robo
The hair comb joke cracked me up
SH Figuarts still has the best Han Solo headsculpt, but this one is close and another great hasbro release of late. From some angles this is a spot on likeness of empire Han. Definitely getting this!
Just got it today, awesome figure! I actualy like the face It Looks great
That beginning LOL
Me: Do you need a han? Han: No. I’m going solo. Kill me, please. I can’t stop.
This is on sale at BBTS for $14.99.. Thanks for the detailed review Robo!
Looks good. I only have the Solo a Star Wars story ham figure
Cool review man! I like your idea of using the SHF head.
Great review as per usual. If you ever do make "yellow jacketed comic Luke", please make a vid showing it off 😊
Nice Review, Good loking figure but I'll wait for an SHF or a if they tweak the head for a future Vintage ESB wave. Well I say that knowing that once Hoth Leia comes out I might feel the need to really buy this figure to have him next to her and Lando, so only time will tell.
I need to learn this power of how to get figures so early...
I thought I saw you mention a pointing hand included with the SDCC version of this figure or was I mistaken? I've watched a couple reviews and none mention a pointing hand. Thanks
I got a bad feeling about this... 👍👍 Awesome Review, Very Insightful, Helpful, Entertaining and Fun, Totally Enjoyed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐👏😄
They really went for that shit eating smirk, but it'stoo subtle, not overboard like the most recent ant man
need this so bad! now all that's left is endor han
the head is 100 times better
Han Solo is my favorite rebel of all time he's my favorite when it comes to Star wars
woww i can't wait to get this figure
Got this in today, luckily mine has no hair line issues as well. I’ve seen a lot of horrible ones in the last few days. - I’m so torn on the head though, it still may be my favorite even over the SHF, at least from most angles but man, still waiting on the perfect Han.
How did you get him so early?
Well there's always hope I guess for an updated head sculpt with 40th Anniv. ESB line (or possibly another Han Solo fig. issuance prior thereto). The rest of the fig. looks pretty cool but unfortunately a huge miss by Hasbro on the face likeness. Seriously man you wonder what Hasbro QC was thinking to let this head sculpt out the door (sigh!). Nice review & thanks for your take on the fig.
I have a feeling the jacket and shirt will be reused, maybe with small retooling, for a return of the jedi han.
It's like that black series chewy has an extra torso section.
Brilliant figure with fantastic articulation :)
Great figure got mine 2 days ago at EB.GAMES that and Rebel Trooper gonna see if i can get 2-3 more rebel troopers Han look really good
Does the new Han Solo head fit on the old Han Solo body?
Does this head fit with the ANH version??
Think of what you can do with a two-face Solo. Need him happy? Pose him on the left. Need him looking mad? Pose him on the right. It has so much photographic potential.
That custom Han face looks like Ralph Fiennes!
You could make a rad return of the jedi han also! Cool review sorta bummed out on the head but i think thats because i wanted him for sooooo long that i blew it up in my mind but still extremely happy to get bespin han finally!
Hey Robo sorry if you mentioned this and I missed it but when is this being released for retail? I can't seem to find a date online

Han Solo will look awesome next to my White Ranger and Thor from Hasbro
Where did you find him?
So the face sculpt looks like Harrison Ford but not like Han Solo?
5:21 isn’t that blaster curved a little? It looks like it is
looks awesome. It will do until SH Figuarts
I really think Hasbro should package all re-released Black Series figures under a Special Edition banner. The half-face thing reminds me of an OAFE write-up a few years back about combining happy and sad faces to create "lop-sided" expressions that change depending on what angle you're looking at. I'm not sure that's what this Han's going for, though...
Are you still going to get the SDCC version? That's the one I'm going for.

Yea the lower part of his jaw is crooked like that pic you were talking about, and it didn't translate to plastic well. Unless, is it possible that it's just your copy, or no? Tbh, I didn't know this was even coming out 😂

That's so weird juuust as I was thinking "yea they probably will do what they did with Liea, and give us the "prototype head" (it's my nickname/not actual proto) then later after the fans complain give us the perfect head." Then right after you said the same thing lol! God knows Hasbro is awesome @ likenesses now. Better then Shfiguarts at capturing likenesses, imo. Idk most the time. What do you think Rob?

This is the exact same figure as the 40th anniversary one right?? 🤔
It's a nice Han figure. The head is a tad bit off and that's exaggerated by the head being a bit too large in scale (Hasbro tends to do that), but overall I like it.
1:20 oh no, TRIGGERED!!!!! But I'm with you on that one :) Yeah, that head is just waaay off, but ooo, that SHF look great on top, plus with Chewie, that's a great pair!

I haven't had a chance to go back and research it, but I've always heard about the changes. It's one of those things that I hear about but don't pay much attention to, like Vader's helmet and suit changing movie to movie. And thanks, I'm glad you dig them!
now i want one
Glen Matlock is Han Solo.
I don't know. Maybe it's me. But I really dig the head. I don't see a problem to it. Sure, it's no figuarts, but it's still a $20 figure.
This is the coolest look Han had in the movies. Also, I hate the SH Han - his face sculpt looks more Planet of the Apes than Star Wars lol
