While we've seen several versions of his Bespin outfit, a couple skiff guard and generals through the years, the smuggler outfit is one for the fans. For some reason we are enamored with some of the more obscure or brief clips. Who could forget the excitement that you felt when you saw he and Chewbacca going to find Han? How would they handle that bounty hunter?

I'm not sure if the sample shown here was a bad paint application but it seems like he's rolling his eyes just a bit which I really didn't care for. From the disco boots to the extra large big pimp collar I really admire the way they did seem to nail the outfit down perfect. Another feature which really surprised me was the rolling elbow. This is a rare case where the holster lines up perfectly with the hand for a classic draw pose.

The working holster is a great compliment to arm, shoulder and wrist articulation that will help you create the smoothest of poses. They even followed it up with a fantastic job on the lower body with bending/rolling knees and ankles and the collector isn't left grabbing for theirs! We can all scratch off another off the list as the fans win again. It's good to see they put some thought behind this version.

Spice - It was good to see Lando again as we've never seen him before. Wave 6 has had some really great offerings, this is a fine example of a quality job.
