Yep. My sentiments exactly. This is supposed to be the definitive line, so why make the 'throwback' jersey first? That one should be a NYCC or SDCC exclusive instead of Carbonite Han.

Not cut belly for the tauntaun. The live tweeting from the session confirmed that.

Thanks for the heads-up, Nick.

+1

Brown coat Han is probably going to be a con exclusive. Or packaged with a 6" scale Imperial Probe Droid.

Post by: Darby on July 25, 2014, 05:37 PM: Probe Droid! This is probably right on!

Post by: Nicklab on July 25, 2014, 05:55 PM: I think the Probe Droid would be absolutely AMAZING in the 6" scale. It would be foolish for Hasbro to not pursue that one.

Post by: Brian on July 25, 2014, 09:20 PM: Really psyched to see this is on the way, even though it has been rumored/confirmed for a bit now...still nice to see it. I can see why some people are bummed about the blue coat, but they could always to the brown coat as a regular release (or in another pack, as mentioned). Kind of surprising though. Han on Taun Taun is one of my favorite things about Star Wars, so I can't wait to get a hold of this.

Sure looks like they were planning for it though... wonder why it got dropped?

Post by: Paul on July 26, 2014, 11:11 PM: This will be my favorite figure/set of all time if it gets delivered even half way like it shows in pictures.

Hoth Han is my favorite OT version of Han, and this really looks good. I also have nostalgia bias for the Blue Coat.
