1/6 Hot Toys - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back: Lando Calrissian (Bespin version)

Re: Hot Toys - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back: Lando Calrissian Collectible Figur

Like everyone else I've been hanging out for Lando, so I wish I liked this more. His cape lining should be darker with a stronger gold coloring, the current one looks like old faded curtains. And as noted above, the pants should be flared/bell bottomed, not straight cut.

But those are merely nitpicks, the thing that really bothers me is that the smile just doesn't look very BDW at all, and for me it just throws the rest of the likeness off because of it. It should have either been a proper BDW broad smile, or else his more serious/concerned look in my opinion. This weird closed mouth smile they have opted for just doesn't work, for me at least.

And yes, despite that I'll probably buy it anyway, because, Lando.

I bet Lando goes up for preorder tomorrow. Hopefully ships sometime in 2021.

Yep. I'm sure all the Mando figures have taken up their late 2021 spots.

Got to get some of them out before S3 I'd say, otherwise people will move on to what's new.

OG Star Wars fans have waited so long, what's another year...

Argh! Been wanting a good Lando forever, but I'm just not feeling the facial expression here! A weird little half-smile? This release should come with two portraits, standard: A serious Lando face, and then one with that classic Billy Dee grin, which is what Lando normally looks like while smiling. Billy Dee doesn't do half-smiles.

Easy pass for me. If it had been Glover.. now that would've been an instabuy.

Likeness isn't that bad imo.

Teeth would have looked goofy, and a smile.....well we all know about Ruddgate !

I'm fine with this.

Should have come with Lobot as a accessory

Yeah the expression seems to look a lot more natural in those JCHong photos.

Like many others in this thread, day 1 preorder for me. At least now bespin leia wont look so lonely. Now we just need the scruffy looking nerf herder.

Endgame stuff also. I have a few orders releasing in 2021.

I'll get this but i probably will not order it until next year sometime.

Agreed on Ruddgate. No smile! If it turns out looking like that middle pic, I'll be pleased as punch. The promo pics just look odd. 1st day purchase though, no hesitation. Just was hoping for perfection like Krennic

Been waiting a long time for this one.

Not many on my required list now. This and Ahsoka where 2 big ones to cross off.

Reveals of Han Bespin and Lobot would be perfect before the end of the year.
