#StarWarsSunday If I did Lobot, how could I pass covering the single coolest character in all of Star Wars?! From the VOTC, Lando Calrissian!! https://www.jedibusiness.com/figureDetails.aspx?id=99
Lando was released as part of the Vintage Orginal Trilogy Collection in 2004. This line was the forerunner for the modern Vintage Collection. He is on a Kenner style card, with an outer clamshell to protect the card.
Lando sports 14 POA, with a ball jointed head, shoulders and knees. The rest of the joints are swivel joints. His cape is cloth and not removable, and he comes with a Stormtrooper blaster.
For a 2004 figure, the head sculpt is very good, and holds up well, if not perfect, with today's facial scan technology. Lando isn't as buff as his POTF2 figure, and more in line with the Power of the Jedi line Lando figure.
But Lando suffers from a couple problems. First, he's too short. Lando should be near Han Solo in height, but compared to the Skiff Disguise version & the General Lando figures, his lack of height is easily seen.
The swivel elbows are a big disappointment, even then. Lando has to be in a perennial state of crossed arms. Not really cool. Well, not as a singular pose anyway.
On the secondary market this Lando is a great buy, $13-$33 on card which isn't a bad deal. While this isn't a definitive 3.75 Bespin Lando, it is the best version made. Hopefully one day Hasbro makes a brand new one. End thread.
