General Analysis

The cool and suave Lando Calrissian was another fun action figure to add to my Kenner Star Wars collection. Kenner approached the figure very similar to the way they did previous characters that were capes and cloaks. The soft gray vinyl cape could be worn in a variety of ways (collar up or down), and the inclusion of a blue Bespin blaster completes his look. Bespin wasn’t a favorite area of play for me as a kid. I loved recreating the Battle of Hoth and the various adventures of the MILLENNIUM FALCON, but when it came to our Rebels friends making a pitstop on Bespin, well, that never left the indelible mark I thought it would. I have since appreciated this sequence of the film much more as an adult. Lando Calrissian came two different ways. The first version utilized only black paint to bring his eyes to life. But later on, samples started showing up with white color for the sclerae of his eyes in addition to show white deco added to his mouth for his teeth. Lando Calrissian interacted beautifully with Lobot, (Twin Pod) Cloud Car Pilot, and both Bespin Security Guards. In retrospect, I am so thankful that Kenner spent time building up the many inhabitants of Cloud City. Many have become favorites throughout the years.
