-ANH Han Solo
-ANH Han Solo with Greedo in the Cantina showdown exclusive 2-pack
-Han Solo in Stormtrooper disguise
-Hoth Han Solo with the tauntaun
-Han Solo in Carbonite (SDCC 2013 exclusive)

Yea, but Han's been pretty much ignored for years, and hearing Ford's back for E7 should drive a little more buzz for the character. I'd also argue that Han Carbonite isn't really a figure, nor was he wide spread, and the Han/Greedo set is just a figure repack. We really have 3 different Han figures on the way, actually one less than Luke.

The key word in my post was OFFERINGS. Meaning the number of products that have been offered for sale.
Yes, it's nice to see Han Solo getting some attention from Hasbro. But I think that the number of Han Solo products might be pushing it. Just as we're seeing the Stormtrooper / Sandtrooper tooling being pushed. Clearly, Hasbro is trying to get as much value out of their tooling budget as possible. But I hope Hasbro is prepared to recognize that the collector segment of the market is savvy. And they're able to tell what's really new, what's kitbashed, and what's repainted.
Darby:
I think one factor may be time. We have a window until next Christmas for OT and PT figures and after that it's unlikely any significant attention will be paid to them. We have five or six or more movies in the pipeline in as many years and the toys will be turning from one film to the next. Who knows on long term but in addition to definitely curbing tooling costs maybe Hasbro is looking at as this is their last hurrah with all these guys. We may not get all the figures we want in this scale.
