This Han Solo figure was released single carded in a 6-pack during the Fall of 2022
All six figures in this multipack are straight repacks of the ones previously released in 2019 single carded, but this time the packaging was made out of thicker cardstock and every carded figure came unpunched
The set was a ShopDisney.com and HasbroPulse.com exclusive and cost $69.99 on both websites
In late 2023 and going into 2024 this particular 6-pack could also be obtained through the fan channel (specialty online shops)
Hasbro scanned the original 1978 figure and captured all the details (and lack thereof) in this figure, right down to the size of the peg holes in the bottom of the feet
There are some differences however, for example this new version of Han Solo has updated copyright markings on the back of both legs (Hasbro instead of Kenner and several part and production numbers)
Han's belt buckle appears to be slightly bigger than on the 1978 Han Solo figure
Han's blaster looks VERY close to the original, the detailing is maybe more pronounced, not by much though
Unfortunately Han Solo can't hold the blaster and it keeps falling out of his right hand (this wasn't an issue with the original Han Solo figure from 1978)
The packaging was weathered on the outside on purpose to differentiate the Star Wars Retro Collection from the original Kenner figures
Han Solo has no balancing issues
All in all, this Retro Collection Han Solo turned out great and if Hasbro ever releases a small head version let's hope they'll fix the right hand so that it can hold the blaster
