Kenner Lobot Review

 I thought about pairing Lobot with Lando but they go their separate ways at the end (Spoiler alert!) so he gets a solo review. Pun kinda intended. So, what's special about him? Is he worth adding to your collection? Read on to find out!

Lobot helped Lando rescue Leia, Chewie and Threepio after Boba took custody of Han's Carbonite slab. He is briefly seen in a few scenes on Bespin but his last shot was a close up on his face after Lando fiddled with his wrist communicator.

Lobot has the best head sculpt of any Kenner ESB figures, except for possibly Zuckuss (really 4-LOM, I'll explain later). The computer interface connected to his brain is stunning for 1980-81. Plus he is wearing Jerry Seinfeld's puffy pirate shirt! He comes with a standard blaster.

Now do you need Lobot? Yes. You do. While very few Marvel comics showed Lobot a lot of stories written with Lando have Lobot in them in both EU & Disney Canon, with Disney actually using him more post ESB than he was in Legends. I always liked his look, and even as a kid he was Lando's pal to me just as Han & Chewie are. So yes, while only having a small movie role, you need this figure in your collection!
