Han Solo (in Carbonite Chamber)

Curiosities and variants of the figure

Han Solo (in Carbonite Chamber) is one of the figures of the last wave of the vintage Star Wars collection produced by the toymaker KENNER, all the figures of this last wave are considered very rare and are included among the so-called “The Last 17”, the last 17 figures released to the market are the most expensive and complicated to obtain of the entire collection. This is because the print run of these figures was much shorter than the previous ones, so there are fewer units.

With the movie trilogy now finished and no future releases in sight, KENNER made one last attempt to keep the figure line going, this time under the name “The Power of the Force”, but unfortunately the Star Wars fad was already coming to an end after several successful years.

All the figures of this last wave included an exclusive coin of each character, both new and reissued from previous waves. These figures were sold in several countries, so we can find them with cardboard with the triple logo of “Return of the Jedi”, in that case did not include the coin.

Character

Han Solo (en la Cámara de Carbonita) is a variant of the iconic character in the franchise. In “The Empire Strikes Back”, Han Solo is captured by Darth Vader and frozen in carbonite in the Bespin Carbonite Chamber. This image of Han Solo frozen in carbonite has become an icon in Star Wars culture.

Carbonite is a material used for freezing Han Solo and transport him as merchandise. This variant of the character represents a critical moment in the franchise’s history and his subsequent rescue is one of the key moments in “Return of the Jedi.”
