12" Han Solo, Lando (Guard), & AT-ST Driver
« on: April 1, 2003, 11:21 AM »
Well today at Meijers I picked up the new wave of 12" Dolls for $19.99 each.


12" Han Solo
Well, it is Han Solo. The head sculpt is Han-esq. Not really a good likeness. The head looks to fat for the body used. It is Han who ate too many donuts or something. A Major crash for this doll.

The hands are the standard kung-fu grip hands.

Standard Han Outfit from Episode 4 with the same belt that the first Han doll had.

The boots that come with this 12" doll is not like the other boots of past. The set of boots are a thin sticky type rubber. Which I find to be a major downfall of this doll.

There is a lever on his back. If you pull it down his right arm raises up.

So with the ugly fat head and the boots I give this doll a 2 out of 4.



12" Lando as Skiff Guard
Lando is Lando this time for the head sculpt, not the Hispanic Version of the Cloud City Lando so many years ago.

The Outfit looks nice except for the lower skirt part. It is made of very thin cheap vinayl.

The hands have the bendable hinged fingers like the 12" Dooku doll.

The Gun is a nice scuplt and painted with details. It fits into the holster that has a snap to keep it in there.

The Staff is short in my opinion. But non the less it looks ok. It only comes up to Lanso's shoulders.

The Helmet is nice and heavy. A nice scuplt and nicely painted details. Too bad there is no liner in it to keep it snug on his head.

Over all I give this Doll a 3.75 out of 4.



12" AT-ST Driver
Ok the AT-ST Driver to me looks like a younger General Rieken from Hoth with the standard GI-Joe scare on his cheek.

The outfit is a nice one piece jumpsuit.

The boots are like the Han Solo. The set of boots are that thin sticky type rubber. Which I find to be the only downfall of this doll.

The Helmet and Goggles are nice. The elastic on the goggles are a bit too long so I had to double it like a rubber band and palce it on the head. The Helmet itself is nice and heavy. The chin strap hold the helmet on very nicely.

THe Gun is that funny Imperial Blaster.

I like this doll alot. More with the helmet on. Without the helmet he just looks like a standard Imperial.

I give this doll a 3.25 out of 4.

Nice reviews David!  Does the AT-ST Driver look as much like Johnny Carson as some of the earlier pictures I've seen?  It looked to be an almost spot-on match...   :D
