![]() It was a clever release for Kenner, and I am glad they made him, issues aside. I strongly believe that Han Solo (In Carbonite Chamber) is a must-have figure for your vintage Kenner collection. REBELSCUM SHOP FORUM HAN SOLO In Carbonite / In Carbonite Block Source: ( Return of the Jedi) Year: 1996 Collection: 2 and 1 Retail: 4. But the carbonite chamber, albeit screen-inaccurate, was one of the most incredible accessories that came with any Star Wars figure before or after this release. He’s a “no-necker” and a little bit too beefy in the chest. This release is technically a terrible version of Han Solo. The perfectly fitted “plastic tray" served as part of the carbonite block for me because it suspended him inside of it which assisted with displaying it in various play scenes (even though I probably didn’t play with this figure for more than a week after I bought it). But one thing I DIDN’T throw out with my Han Solo (In Carbonite Chamber) figure was a piece of the bubble packaging which secured Han Solo to the carbonite chamber. I remember buying these figures, opening them all up when we arrived back home, getting rid of the “unnecessary” packaging, placing them in a box and forgetting about them until ten years later. With Gentle Giant's claim of reproducing these figures and striving for accuracy (snicker), they'll probably leave the eyebrows unpainted. Kenner should have just re-used the Endor Han headsculpt, which was slightly better than the Carbonite Han's head. Han Solo (In Carbonite Chamber) is obviously “larger than normal” because it comes with a big carbonite block to interact with the included Han Solo figure. Terrible fat headsculpt that looked nothing like Harrison. In many cases the figures were "supersized," but their bigness made you feel like you got so much value for the $2.99 they commanded. ![]() One of the most outstanding an exciting things (other than realizing there were new Star Wars figures at retail) about finding the final wave of Kenner action figures at Toys R Us was that they felt so much bigger than previous action figures. Han Solo (In Carbonite Chamber) is one of them. There were some “large than life” action figures released in THE POWER OF THE FORCE line.
