General Analysis

After the overwhelming first wave of RETURN OF THE JEDI figures, the follow up new figures in the RETURN OF THE JEDI line didn’t excite me as much as previous waves had. One of the biggest standouts for me, however, was Han Solo (In Trench Coat). It quickly became my most-favorite Han Solo action figure of the entire line, and I LOVED recreating various scenes from RETURN OF THE JEDI utilizing the incredible EWOK VILLAGE playset and this figure. I was significantly blown away by his removable trench coat. Growing up in a household where the meat on the dinner table was brought in via hunting, it felt like Han Solo (In Trench Coat) was another member of my immediate family. Maybe that’s the reason I played with him in the tree stand in our backyard all the time. As I grew into adulthood, I learned that a significant variation exists with regards to the trench coat. You probably already know that you can find this figure with camouflaged lapels or solid lapels, but the tone of the trench coat varies as well, from lighter to darker. There are also variations in the figure’s paint operations, especially with the figure’s hair color. It was rewarding to get Han Solo (In Trench Coat) and pair him with Princess Leia Organa (In Combat Poncho), but we’d have to wait another year before we received Luke Skywalker in his Endor gear.
