Year Released
2016 - Debuted in the 75159 Death Star (UCS) and 75174 Desert Skiff Escape (2017)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare - While appearing in two sets, one was a high-priced UCS set and the other a retired play set, making it highly sought after for its specific detailed printing.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head with smirk and determined expression, featuring reddish-brown hair in the wavy Han Solo style mold.
Torso
Dark blue vest over a light bluish gray shirt with collar. Design includes four front pockets and detailed back printing. The arms are tan, representing the character's long sleeves.
Legs
Dark blue legs with comprehensive printing for the gun belt, holster, and the red Corellian Bloodstripe on the sides of the legs.
Accessories
Typically comes with a black DL-44 heavy blaster pistol (not pictured in the image provided).
Color Scheme
A palette shift for Han Solo featuring Dark Blue legs and vest, Light Bluish Gray shirt, and Tan arms to mimic the 'New Hope' costume accurately.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing including the belt and holster across the hips and down the right thigh, side-leg bloodstripe printing, and detailed torso pocket linework.
Variants
This is the 'detailed' version with tan arms; earlier versions used white or light gray shirts with blue or black legs and solid colored arms.
Condition Notes
Prone to cracking in the heels/hips. Check for torso cracks under the arms and fading on the side-leg bloodstripe prints from handling.
Estimated Value
The used market value currently ranges from $25.00 to $40.00 USD, with new/mint examples reaching $50.00+.
Price (New)
Included in the 75159 UCS Death Star ($499.99) and 75174 Desert Skiff Escape ($29.99).
Compatible Sets
75159 Death Star (2016), 75174 Desert Skiff Escape (2017).
Character Background
Han Solo, the captain of the Millennium Falcon and a hero of the Rebel Alliance, depicted as he appeared during the rescue of Princess Leia and the skirmishes on Tatooine.
Design Notes
This version is noted for its color accuracy to the filming costume, specifically using tan arms rather than white to better represent the shirt material in low lighting.
Similar Minifigures

Collectibility
High - Essential for 'A New Hope' collectors as it is one of the more detailed 'standard' Han Solo figures produced before the 2019-2021 redesigns.
History
Follows the evolution from the 1999 classic yellow-skin Han, through the 2004 light-flesh transition, to this modernized high-detail era.
Interesting Facts
Despite the tan arms, the central shirt print is light bluish gray; this color mismatch is an intentional design choice by LEGO to simulate shadows and fabric textures.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a Mos Eisley Cantina vignette or alongside a UCS Millennium Falcon. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent the dark blue plastic from fading.
Modification Potential
The legs are highly desirable for upgrading older Han Solo figures that lacked holster and bloodstripe printing.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier variant of the character. The leg printing and specific torso color combination make it a standout piece for any serious Star Wars LEGO collection.
