Bespin Lando VC Review
Quick, what is one of the most requested 3.75 inch figures to get a brand new sculpt for the Vintage Collection? If you guessed ANH Luke or Leia you'd be correct. But also in the requests are Bespin Lando. Well, Hasbro finally did him. And let me say, it is well worth the wait!
Lando is a HUGE improvement over the VOTC Lando which came out around 2005, and once again years later in a VC 3 pack. This is a brand new sculpt, head to toe! The head sculpt on Lando is perfect. Yes, you read that right, perfect. It's a Mini Me to Billy Dee Williams! Like most new figures, he has ball joint hips, which are not tight. With 16 POA he can achieve almost any pose you can think of, and he can fit in the Millennium Falcon cockpit to help Chewie pilot our remaining heroes to safety as he did in The Empire Strikes Back. He comes with a Rebel blaster, and a removable cloth cape. To remove the cape you do have to remove his head, but it's safe to do so. There is no holster to store his blaster so you may lose it if you don't place it in a bag, he also has no problems holding his weapon, but it fits best in his right hand.
The paint apps and the sculpt are among the best Hasbro has done. The paint is not smeared and is clean. Hasbro not only hit a home run, but a grand slam on this figure. Soon Lobot will be available to join him, also with an all new sculpt! This is the definitive ESB Lando, thank you sculpters and painters! Hopefully other characters (ANH Luke & Leia) get this treatment.
