12/8/2023 0 Comments Han solo in carbonite![]() ![]() Sideshow has not been consistent with the weight of their polystone products so we are not entirely sure what is going on, but we do know that this piece feels “cheap”. It has a hollow feel to it and one wrong move could spell disaster as we fear it is too fragile for handling. This piece is as light as a feather and we find this disappointing. And we must be honest, when Sideshow says that they use high quality polystone, we really do expect them to use high quality polystone. As mentioned earlier, this is truly too expensive for what it is. We ask what is it going to take to get a carbonite block collectible that lights up? We would ask them to skip providing electronics in the lightsabers and focus on giving them to the figure environments instead. While the control panels on each side of the block are beautifully sculpted and painted, they don’t light up and since Sideshow includes so many light-up features in their products, we find this extremely disappointing. ![]() The Han Solo In Carbonite 1:6 Scale Figure Environment is stunning and has a near perfect likeness to the movie prop. But that doesn’t mean that this isn’t one beautifully executed collectible because it is. And it’s heartbreaking to make such a big stink about the price, but we immediately got buyer’s remorse after realizing how much “stuff” we got inside for the price. And even a price tag of $149.99 would probably still be too expensive. It is 100% polystone and it is what it is. There is no articulation, no soft-goods and no “action” at all. It is definitely a novelty piece too, because this figure cannot be posed. For something of this price, extra accessories needed to be included to make it a value for consumers. We quickly determined that the $199.99 sticker is inflated for what you get in the box. While it is a beautiful piece, we feel it is way overpriced. Whatever way you decide, you can bet that it is going to look pretty phenomenal in any setting in your 1:6 Scale Figure collection. You can set it next to Jabba the Hutt, or you can display it alone with the Leia as Boushh or Bib Fortuna 1:6 Scale Figures. It works well with so many already released figures. But probably was nothing more impressive (or more expected) than the Han Solo In Carbonite 1:6 Scale Figure Environment. We got great Creature Packs with Jabba the Hutt and then we got an awesome stand alone Dejarik Holochess table (even before had an Episode IV Han Solo figure). ![]() Sideshow has really come up with some clever things to help pad their unbelievable 1:6 Scale Figure line. Han Solo suffers the painful injections and near torterious preparation process, and once encased in carbonite, is loaded into Fett's Slave 1 ship, and delivered to Jabba's palace where he remains frozen in perfect hibernation until Leia, Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, and Luke Skywalker can rescue. It is a clever deal, as Boba Fett is rewarded for his aid in the Rebel capture, and is also allowed to take the carbonite encased Han Solo back to Jabba the Hutt, and collect the bounty offered by the vile gangster as well. Darth Vader intends to immobilize Luke by freezing him in carbonite, rendering him safe for transport, and tests the process on Han Solo. Darth Vader orchestrates a clever trap, forcing the cooperation of Lando Calrissian, the administrator of Cloud City, wherein Han and Leia will be used as bait to lure his true prize, Luke Skywalker. Boba Fett, the Mandalorian bounty hunter, tracks the Millenium Falcon to Cloud City, and alerts Lord Vader to their location. Darth Vader dispatches a number of bounty hunters to locate and capture the fleeing Rebels. With the Rebel base on Hoth under siege, Han Solo and Princess Leia escape to Bespin's Cloud City. No longer a reckless vagrant, Han Solo becomes a general in the Rebel Alliance and is recognized as one of its most deserving and courageous heroes. After helping to rescue the Rebel leader Princess Leia from the clutches of the evil Empire, the charming yet insufferable pilot finds a focus for his flyboy talents. For this reason, he is hired to transport Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and young Luke Skywalker on a mission that will forever alter Han's roguish course. His skill with a blaster and uncanny luck are equaled only by his extraordinary piloting abilities.Īfter winning the Falcon from fellow gambler and friend Lando Calrissian, Han extensively modified his ship to become one of the fastest space vessels in the galaxy. Fast thinking and quick with a blaster, Han is noted for his narrow escapes from dangerous situations, many of which are the result of his own brash and arrogant behavior. Former smuggler and space pirate, Han Solo is the rugged, devil-may-care captain of the Millennium Falcon. ![]()
