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

[cdm79]

My Lando from TW had been stuck at Posting/Collection since Oct 15th! Thankfully it updated to Leaving Overseas today. I’m in the UK.

Did you use the free shipping TBA provides or pay for upgraded shipping? Still waiting on 2 pieces to leave Hong Kong.

FreeShip

I've been waiting on my spidergwen to leave the hong kong processing center since the 18th as well, from TBA heading to the US....hopefully soon.

have you been tracking with both the Chinese post and Auspost? When Gandalf was coming, I noticed there was some discrepancy between the two and the Auspost tracking didn't get updated for a few days.

Got Lando yesterday - I love the feel of the fig but I will admit to seeing a fleeting glimpse of the notorious "Slingblade smirk" upon first opening him up (damn you Wor-gar.)

It's a gorgeous head but even in-hand I feel it's somewhat lacking in the BDW likeness department. That being said, the realism makes it a superb "Lando head" overall.

One curious thing - his "wrist device/watch" doesn't seem to happily coexist with the cuff and wrist joint, so I've left it off. It aslo seems like it sits under his wrist, not on top of it like a watch, so you end up with this extra black strap in addition to the sleeve trim, which looks odd. It almost seems in the movie he only wears it in the scenes where he uses it, but not sure on that.

And for those who have an extra Bespin Leia backdrop, just be aware there is no magnet on Lando's base, so the backdrop cannot magnetically attach the way it does for Leia.

I despise the HT blaster (so inaccurate yet so reissued) so the Sideshow blaster has been permanently included with him.

Great ESB figures and displays, TaliBane!

Imperial Jeremy Bulloch Officer
I’d rather have him then Lando

 

[Stryker2011]

So cool to see all those figures together.

Argh. Oh well. He'll be worth the wait.

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

So freakin' good. Yes, the Bulloch Imperial Officer, Bespin Escape Leia, Bespin Guard!
Just seeing your versions of ESB Chewie/C-3PO and the "old pirate" make me weep that HT has it's thumb securely stuck up its proverbial.

 

[Pezking]

Hey, look! It's Lando and his porn buddy, Jack Napier!

 

[RandomHero]

Yeah, when you see the Hot Toys sculpt next to the Sideshow Skiff one, I don’t know how anyone can complain about the likeness.

 

[karamazov80]

Neither is worth writing home about, but I might give the SSC sculpt the edge in the likeness department. Of course, their paintwork doesn't help.

 

[supersphinxman]

I like the look of Billy Dee Williams with the HT version. The SSC version is the look you get after knocking back one too many Colt 45s. Nose looks a bit too wide on that sculpt in my opinion.

 

[shadow_wolf]

I haven't got mine yet, but that cape looks very awkward/hard to futz.

HT should've opted for magnets instead of using elastics?
