Year Released
2016 - First debuted in 75137 Carbon-Freezing Chamber during the first wave of Star Wars sets after the release of Episode VII.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not restricted to a single set, its appearance in a mid-range set makes it less abundant than 'City' figures, though common for a licensed protagonist.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head. Side 1: Smirking with cheek lines. Side 2: Worried/grimacing. Shared with several modern Han Solo variants. Dark Brown wavy hair (messy 'tousled' mold).
Torso
Dark Blue vest over a White shirt/tunic. The torso features front and back printing representing a tactical vest with pocket outlines and seam details. Arms are Dark Blue, hands are Light Flesh.
Legs
Dark Brown legs with a Black hip piece. Printing includes a Dark Brown utility belt with a silver buckle and a holster strap printed on the right thigh for a 'quick-draw' look.
Accessories
Standard Black DL-44 Blaster Pistol (the 'short' blaster mold). Some sets include a 1x2 clear tile or carbonite piece depending on the scene.
Color Scheme
Dark Blue, Dark Brown, White, and Light Flesh. This specific blue vest is a modern design choice for Solo's classic 'Empire Strikes Back' aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs (front only). Features crisp lines for the holster leather and vest textures.
Variants
Standard sw0714 has a smirk; variants exist with the 'Corellian Bloodstripe' on the legs (sw0712) or the Tan/Brown vest from Episode IV (sw0709).
Condition Notes
Susceptible to 'hand-cracking' in the torso due to Light Flesh hand plastic. Dark Brown legs often show white stress marks at the hip connection points over time.
Estimated Value
New: $12 - $18 USD; Used: $8 - $12 USD. Value remains stable due to Han Solo's popularity as a cornerstone character.
Price (New)
Available in set 75137 ($24.99) and 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City ($349.99), though the Cloud City version has dual-molded legs.
Compatible Sets
75137 Carbon-Freezing Chamber, 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon (Classic Crew), 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City.
Character Background
Captain of the Millennium Falcon and General in the Rebel Alliance. This iteration depicts him during the events of 'The Empire Strikes Back' on Bespin.
Design Notes
Represents the 2010s design philosophy of adding more realistic texture to clothing rather than simple black outlines used in the early 2000s.
Similar Minifigures
sw0771 (Han Solo, 2016 variant), sw0915 (Han Solo, Mudtrooper), sw0832 (Han Solo, Hoth).
Collectibility
High for casual collectors wanting a complete Millennium Falcon crew; moderate for completionists as this is a very 'standard' version.
History
Han Solo was one of the first 1999 Star Wars figures. This 2016 version reflects the update to flesh tones and high-fidelity leg printing.
Interesting Facts
The 'Dark Blue' vest is technically more screen-accurate to the Bespin costume, which was often mistaken for black in earlier LEGO iterations.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to a Chewbacca (sw0532) and Princess Leia (sw0705) in a Bespin or Millennium Falcon docking bay scene.
Modification Potential
Excellent base for a purist custom of various Rebel officers; legs are highly sought after for other Cowboy or Smuggler MOCs.
Overall Assessment
9/10. A definitive Han Solo minifigure for the modern era, capturing Harrison Ford's character likeness perfectly with professional printing.
