Curiosities about the toy and variants

Han Solo (in Carbonite Chamber) is one of the figures from the final wave of the Star Wars Vintage Collection produced by KENNER. All figures from this final wave are considered extremely rare and are included among the so-called "The Last 17"—the last 17 figures released, which are the most expensive and hardest to find in the entire collection. This is because the production run for these figures was much shorter than for previous ones, so fewer units exist.

With the film trilogy now complete and no future releases in sight, KENNER made a final attempt to keep the figure line going, this time under the name "The Power of the Force," but unfortunately the Star Wars craze was already coming to an end after several successful years.

All figures in this final wave included an exclusive coin for each character, both the new ones and the reissues from previous waves. These figures were sold in various countries, so we can find them with packaging featuring the triple logo of "Return of the Jedi"; in that case, they did not include the coin.

Character

Han Solo (in the Carbonite Chamber) is a variant of the franchise's iconic character. In *The Empire Strikes Back*, Han Solo is captured by Darth Vader and frozen in carbonite in the Carbonite Chamber on Bespin. This image of Han Solo frozen in carbonite has become an icon in Star Wars culture.

Carbonite is a material used to freeze Han Solo and transport him as cargo. This version 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."
