Posted by To commemorate the 40th anniversary of “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back“, Hot Toys recently presents 2 amazing 1/6 scale action figures: Boba Fett and Lando Calrissian.
I have introduced Boba Fett action figure before. Those who are interested can click the link at the bottom of this article to check out the review.
Now let our attention return to this classic supporting role of Star Wars: Lando Calrissian. The skillfully crafted head sculpt of this action figure is very good, let us take a look.
Lando Calrissian is a good friend of Han Solo. In the latest movie “Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker”, he returned with Chewbacca in the spaceship Millennium Falcon, which revived the audiences’ memories of Lando Calrissian. So the launch of this Lando Calrissian action figure is very meaningful.
This Lando Calrissian Action Figure‘s size design is also 1/6 scale commonly used by Hot Toys, and the overall height is approx. 30.5cm. And there are as many as 30 points of articulation, which allows you to display this action figure into many poses.
The costume styling of this action figure meticulously recreates the appearance of Lando Calrissian when he was the administrator of Bespin Planet in the movie.
The light blue long-sleeved shirt and dark blue pants of Lando Calrissian are very well-fitting. They are all made of real materials.
On the sides of the pants, you can see the obvious lines which are carefully sewn by the sewing machine, and compared with the real pants, there is not much difference, and the workmanship is very good.
In addition, the black belt is also very distinctive.
Of course, the real highlight of the whole costume is this delicate cape. According to Hot Toys‘ introduction, the designers highly recreate the details of the cape.
The appearance of the entire cape is light blue, and the lining is yellowish-brown and has regular detailed patterns. Moreover, the lining and outer are designed with different cloth materials, which enhances the layering of this cape.
In addition, the edges of the cape also have built-in iron wires, which can display various elegant shapes of the cape with the actions of the character.
In general, this cape is very gorgeous, shows the noble style of the character and highlights the identity of the character.
Next, let’s take a look at the performance of the head sculpt of this Lando Calrissian action figure.
The head sculpt is extremely life-like, and the skin is well painted, showing the real skin texture effect.
The delicate mustache and the slightly grinned lips match just right, and plus the bright eyes, show a friendly and confident smile.
In addition, the dark brown curly short hair of Lando Calrissian has been faithfully carved and recreated.
Compared with the image of Lando Calrissian which was played by actor Billy Dee Williams in the movie, the facial features and expression of this head sculpt are very high-accurate.
I really admire the designers of Hot Toys, who can bring us such a great head sculpt. And also hope the Lando Calrissian action figure can be maintained at the same high level as in the photos when Hot Toys releases it in bulk.
Hot Toys also provided many accessories for this action figure.
In addition to the 6 pieces of interchangeable hands, it also includes a cloud city-themed backdrop attachable to the figure stand and a specially designed figure stand with the character’s nameplate, Star Wars logo and graphic card.
The rest are two weapons, a communicator and remote control.
This classic remote control can be worn on the wrist like a wrist link.
What Lando Calrissian holds in his hand is the communicator, faithfully recreates the shape in the movie.
These small accessories greatly enhance the playability of this action figure.
The weapon in the picture above is the blaster pistol, which has a good depiction of details.
The other weapon is a blaster rifle. There is no detailed picture introduction.
Its shape which you can refer to in the above screenshots is also very good.
Matched with other Hot Toys’ 1/6 scale action figures, it can be displayed as various interesting scenes of Star Wars movies.
At the same time, the retro-style packaging box is also printed with the 40th-anniversary logo of “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back“, which has a high collection value.
If you have always wanted to collect a Lando Calrissian action figure from Hot Toys but haven’t bought it yet, this work is worth considering!
