Rarity
Uncommon; it was originally exclusive to the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon set, making it harder to obtain than basic troop-builders.
Head
Nougat skin tone with dual-sided facial expressions (cocky smirk and worried face), black mustache, and sideburns. Topped with a textured black hairpiece (Part 23186).
Torso
Bright yellow torso with detailed printing of a black bandolier and belt, featuring a collar ruffle. Arms are solid yellow with reddish brown hands.
Legs
Solid black legs without printing, representing the formal trousers worn during the Sabacc game and Millennium Falcon heist.
Accessories
Includes a dual-tone fabric cape (blue on one side, black on the other) with a high-collar fold, and a pearl dark gray blaster pistol.
Color Scheme
A vibrant combination of bright yellow, medium azure (cape lining), and black, reflecting the character's flamboyant fashion sense in the film.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso and head; the bandolier details are crisp and accurate to Donald Glover's costume.
Variants
This is the primary version for the Solo film; other Lando variants include his classic 'Empire Strikes Back' (sw0105) and 'Return of the Jedi' (sw1056) appearances.
Condition Notes
The soft cloth cape is prone to fraying at the collar or creasing if stored improperly; check for neck-ring stress marks due to the thick cape material.

New: $35.00 - $45.00 USD; Used: $25.00 - $35.00 USD (Value heavily depends on the condition of the fragile two-tone cape).

Interesting Facts
The yellow shirt Lando wears in the film was based on a costume worn by the same character in the 1980s Lando Calrissian Adventures novels.
