Kenner Hoth Han Solo

 


This figure is not without controversy amongst the hard core Star Wars fans. That controversy is, does he wear a brown coat or a blue coat? Well, here he is an a blue coat. But this Han Solo has a first time feature that many wish had been carried over into future versions of Han back in the Kenner days. It's a feature that was recently replicated on the Retro Greef Karga figure for the Mandalorian.

Han has the standard Kenner 5 POA and is in a standard Kenner pose. He comes with his blaster which fits perfectly into his right hand. But the feature that stands out is his blaster can fit in the holster. Well, sort of. You'll notice the loop on top of the holster. The blaster handle can fit inside the loop, letting Han actually holster his blaster. It wouldn't be until the late 90's/early 2000's until a Han Solo figure could properly holster his blaster in action figure form.

With the cold gear on, you can barely tell this is a Han Solo figure. As I mentioned before, he is in a blue coat, although in a couple scenes it looks like he's wearing a brown coat. The sculpt details on the uniform are well done, down to the rank insignia on his chest. With the wrappings it is hard to tell about the face sculpt, but it passes for Han Solo.

Like Hoth Luke, the perfect accessory is the Tauntaun, and Han is a perfect fit in it as well. This isn't a bad figure at all, but it isn't really needed in your collection unless you want everything.
