Figure ID
sw0771
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2016 (Released in set 75137)
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited promotional item, it only appeared in one relatively small set and one specific context (Carbonite freezing), making it more sought after than standard Han Solo variants.
Head
Light Nougat with reddish brown hair (molded part 16672). Features a double-sided print: one side with a serious/determined expression and the other featuring a closed-eye 'sleeping' or 'frozen' expression for the carbonite process.
Torso
White torso with light nougat arms and hands. The printing depicts the open-collared white shirt worn by Han in Cloud City, featuring subtle crease lines for realism within the simplified LEGO aesthetic.
Legs
Reddish Brown, unprinted. Features a standard hip joint. Represents his trousers worn during the Bespin sequences in 'The Empire Strikes Back'.
Accessories
Typically paired with a DL-44 Blaster in the set, though the figure is often displayed with the Carbonite block (part 22629pb01). No accessories are visible in the provided image.
Color Scheme
Primary white and reddish brown with light nougat skin tones. This is a clean, muted palette accurate to the character's Bespin attire.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front/back) and head. This version lacks the 'leg holster' printing found on more expensive Luke/Han figures, prioritizing the simplicity of the shirt design.
Variants
This specific torso/head combo distinguishes sw0771 from the 2010 version (sw0280) which had a different hair mold and head print, and the 2018 version (sw0930) which includes printed legs and a different hairpiece.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to 'cracking' on the torso sides if the arms are moved aggressively. The white torso can yellow over time if exposed to UV light. Check for 'clutch power' in the legs and neck.
Estimated Value
Used: $10.00 - $15.00 USD; New: $18.00 - $25.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the demand for complete Carbonite Freezing Chamber sets.
Price (New)
The figure was included in set 75137, which retailed for $24.99 USD in 2016. This made the per-figure value approximately $6.00 at retail.

Character Background
Han Solo, the captain of the Millennium Falcon. This specific look depicts him right before/after being frozen in carbonite by Darth Vader and Boba Fett on Bespin to be delivered to Jabba the Hutt.
Design Notes
This figure marked a transition to a more modern, expressive face print for Han Solo, moving away from the classic 'smirk' to a more film-accurate 'distressed' look for the Bespin scene.
Similar Minifigures
sw0280 (Han Solo Bespin), sw0930 (Han Solo with printed legs), sw0714 (Han Solo Endor), and sw0823 (Han Solo from 75174).
Collectibility
High. Essential for fans building a Bespin or Cloud City diorama. The 'frozen' face print makes it a unique character piece rather than just another generic Han.
History
Based on the 1980 film Empire Strikes Back. LEGO updated this specific look in 2016 specifically to enhance the Carbon-Freezing Chamber set, which hadn't been seen in that scale for years.
Interesting Facts
The 'closed eyes' printing on the alternate face is specifically designed to be seen through the translucent/opaque plastic of the LEGO Carbonite block part.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside or next to a 75137 Carbon-Freezing Chamber set or alongside a Boba Fett and Ugnaught minifigure to recreate the iconic scene.
Modification Potential
The head is frequently used for custom versions of other Star Wars characters due to the versatile 'serious' expression. The white shirt torso is also popular for MOC (My Own Creation) civilian figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier collectible. It perfectly captures a specific cinematic moment. Rating: 7.5/10 for its accuracy and the utility of the dual-sided head print.
