I haven't opened the old smoothie but it feels great having him in the collection.
Looking forward to getting the young version from whenever that show happens.

Finally completed my Bespin Landos - hero display, battle pose and Chewy-choked pose. This was a super-quickie pic so the poses on the two customized figs aren't great (I'm also still only half done wiring the Sideshow cape, and the battle Lando still needs a little padding added to bulk him up slightly more.)
This is stock HT Lando on left, HT head + shirt with Sideshow "bell bottom" pants and Sideshow boots/belt in middle, and my old Sideshow figure with custom pants and belt (recast) with a recast head I painted (I'm not great with human head painting, but the head will be tilted more downward in the final pose.) The original SSC Bespin head I used on my no-helmet Skiff Lando. This last fig on the right is more of a "display accessory" that goes alongside my Chewy with 3PO backpack.
I may still cast the HT wrist communicator for my battle Lando, but it's kind of a pain to futz on the stock HT figure and not all that noticeable.
I will post some pics later with all the Bespin figs I have - Ugnaught, Leia Bespin Escape, Bespin Guard, Jeremy Bulloch Imperial officer plus the Chewy with 3PO. Just didn't have time today.
Stop making me sad…Bespin Escape Leia is easy money for HT. But she isn't in a D+ show so...
In retrospect, the HT sneaky tease of a Leia Bespin Escape should have meant less because it really was just existing parts reused, whereas the Han Bespin they previewed in multiple pics with Leia Bespin involved several complex all-new parts that anyone would have safely assumed could only exist if the fig was coming as a release.
That being said, my custom Leia Bespin Escape always jumps at me in that Bespin cabinet - as an outfit (well, maybe "outfit variant") it's almost as iconic as Hoth and more so than Bespin (even though I adore the Bespin outfit) so crazy HT never did it. It just screams Bespin and ESB, maybe because she arguably does as much in the Escape outfit as in the Hoth outfit, certainly in the "kick-ass" dept.
... with 3PO backpack accessory.Desperately need Bespin Leia as a convention exclusive.
That was mean.
