Han Solo 1978 Kenner Figure Review
The Vintage Kenner Han Solo is a figure that, well, it's not my favorite. From the neck down, it isn't a bad figure. But, boy oh boy. This figure is a mess! I've been dreading doing this but I have the strength to do it because I like the next one I'm doing (Ben Kenobi) so, let's take a look at the Kenner Han Solo, and his amazing multiple heads.
The small head Han was the first one released. While not bad (nobody expected this to look like Harrison Ford), Kenner just wasn't happy with it. In time, this version would quietly disappear from store shelves. And in case you were wondering, yes. This is one is worth more.
The big head Han would be the standard one going forward. However, Kenner didn't sculpt a new body, so it just looks weird. His head is bigger than the rest of his body (some say that about Harrison Ford. Not me obviously!).
Both versions come with his standard blaster. Kenner didn't offer much in the way of accessories in the 1978 line. Now, the only card with the small head is the Star Wars card. The big head Han would be on cards from all 3 movies, getting a new image from Star Wars on the Return of the Jedi card. This was the 1st Star Wars variant, and will not be the last.
