Great figures Nate, i need this pair, missed out the first time they were released. I think they both look great but why on earth can't Hasbro get Lukes face correct, we have had so many Luke figures, some great and some not so much.Never the less, both essential figures for the collection. Awesome review Nate😎
It boggles my mind. We just had 3 great Luke’s then we get this. It makes no sense! But ultimately you are right, they are essential for the collection! Thanks for watching, Boba! -Nate
I kinda thought the smiling was weird too. But if anyone can be called guilty of smiling too much in Star Wars, I think Han could be right behind Jar Jar. Don’t think he did too much smiling on Hoth thou.
Nice! I have the original runs of these with the Wampa and Tauntaun. I've been going back and forth on the Archive versions. After seeing this, I for sure need to get Han and I'll probably end up picking up Luke as well.
Almost picked these up the other day but put them back. The Luke was hideous and Han's face was so shiny he looked sweaty. I was going to pass on this wave but after seeing your review of Thrawn, hopefully I can find that one.
Great review! I just picked these up. What do you think of the chances that Haspro will do a single release Tauntaun with better articulation and paint apps? I want a Tauntaun for my Han, Luke, and a couple Rebel troopers Lol.
I’d love to see that but I feel like if it was gonna happen it would have been last year for the 40th line. But then again never say never! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Great review. I have these on order. Never got the originals. Agree that updated articulation would have been a real bonus. Also agree about the shine of the photo real. Have heard a shot of dull coat helps but not tried it.
Just found these two at Walmart so I grabbed them both. Only 2 black series they had today (except Jannah lol). The smiling Han is different and overall welcomed, but I can't help but see Ryan Stiles every time I look at him lol
I’m a broke collector, so I have to be picky about which figures I pick up. These are both figures I could pass on, which is why I love the reviews. I need to watch y’all play with em so I can pretend I opened them.
Where are you guys located. When I watch your drone shots your target looks alot like mine. Just thought we could watch out for each other if we are close.
Unfortunately, I found both of these at Walmart but the face print on Luke was really really bad. The eyes were really bad. And Han's scarf was missing some paint :( Luckily, I did manage to pick up a Thrawn there :)
Yeah the eyes have been really bad specifically on the Luke. They used way too much blue paint. Thrawn is a great figure though! Glad you could find them. -Justin
Im on the fence with these. I own both the originals and im thinking the fact the new faces are not 100% imo and no new articulation is making me lean not to buy. Great review and if i didnt own the OG ones then these would be a must but that is the intent of the Archive wave which is cool. Also if i do get them i may keep on card as the 50th gold card is pretty damn cool. P.S I laughed good on the music and pure destruction of the packaging.
What's up Fig! Justin here. I own both of the originals as well. I chose to not pick up any out of this archive wave because full-price for photo-real is only really worth on a few select figures overall in my opinion. Appreciate ya watching! -Justin
Even though they are archive cards, it still hurt to watch you rip them open, lol. I was glad to add both of them, needed them to complete my empire strikes back display. Agree they are ok figures that could benefit from updates. I think Luke's face looks like the Wayans brothers in white chicks.
Haha yeah I got a little carried away this time! I definitely feel you I knew they weren’t gonna be the best but I needed em for the display. Having the Wampa and no Hoth Luke was BUGGING me! Lmao that’s so true! Thanks for watching Dude! -Nate
DO IT!!! TEAR EM OPEN!!! lol now i need some archive face updated ANH versions of these 2!! or better yet updated even.... the only accessories i need is another tauntaun LOL i dont understand why they cant go back to original days of realface tech without shinyness, im guessing its a cost cut measure? ive watched the hoth scenes with han over and over and finally decided hes wearing a brown jacket, so its nice having that original figure to match my old kenner figure.... stay safe keep on making great videos!!
Definitely agree with Han but my obi looks pretty bad, although, I think it’s mostly just because of the bad photo real application but still. Thanks for watching! -Nate
I have to pick these up as I missed the initial release of these figures and ESB is my favourite film, especially the Hoth Scenes. Han does look like an improvement with the face printing, but Luke does look off the mark. I don't know why Hasbro can't just choose the best version of Luke that they've done (Dagobah or Snowspeeder pilot) and go with the same eye paint application. It seems every incarnation they do of Luke looks different.
First, Luke isn't a blue-eyed demon just he eats too much Spice and became a "Fremen" from Dune 😂😅!!!* Second, Han its just sweaty because that uniform is uncomfortably thicker. 🤔🧐
Ran across these in Central IL Walmart this AM (1st SWBS issues I've seen there since October 2020 (uugh)) & Han actually looks decent in terms of face likeness & a significant improvement over the original but Luke is ridiculously terrible in terms of face likeness (photo (un)real fail) imo & hard to believe Hasbro somehow approved it for release. Thanks for the detail review.
The Han face is absolutely awful. Seriously not sure what they were thinking. The figure sculpt is decent. The wrists are a joke. With the hood on the figure looks great because you can’t see how bad the face is. I chose between 3 and they were all bad. I can’t stress how bad Han’s face is. Photo Real of someone else. Nice job on the video as always.
Luke is not great at all. He's either way too short of Han Solo is way too big and that head sculpt is bad. Everything else is alright but for a 6 inch Black Series Archive figure, that's not it. If you asked me, Solo has a freaky real face. As a static statue, that's a top tier Hath Ham Solo likeness. Articulation may be outdated, the guns are too soft, but they nailed it. That wet look on the face could have been then simulating melted snow too. It could be intentional.
Like honestly WTF? Who is managing this Black Series. I love the improvements they are gradually making but they still do some weird inconsistent shit. That shiny has to go

Looked fine for me to buy this pair to go with 40th Leia and Hoth Trooper.
Great Stuff. Thanks for the new review Nate. I think it's a risk to have Han smiling, but I guess it doesn't hurt to experiment a bit more.
Thanks for checking out the review, J! Always nice to hear from you. -Justin

Fair enough, I can’t blame you for wanting the updated versions! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Almost picked these up the other day but put them back. The Luke was hideous and Han's face was so shiny he looked sweaty. I was going to pass on this wave but after seeing your review of Thrawn, hopefully I can find that one.
Totally understandable! These could be easily skipped. Thrawn is dope though, definitely a must have. Thanks for watching! -Nate
Great review! I just picked these up.

That would actually be cool... 2 TaunTauns for both would be fantastic
Might pass on these... but I’ll be tempted if I find them in the wild..
I don’t blame you for wanting to pass at all! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Great review. I have these on order. Never got the originals. Agree that updated articulation would have been a real bonus. Also agree about the shine of the photo real. Have heard a shot of dull coat helps but not tried it.
I’ve heard that as well but have yet to try it it! Thanks for watching, Gerald! -Nate
Just found these two at Walmart so I grabbed them both. Only 2 black series they had today (except Jannah lol). The smiling Han is different and overall welcomed, but I can't help but see Ryan Stiles every time I look at him lol
Lol, Jannah is seriously everywhere! Thanks for watching, Bryon. -Justin

Just received both but only realized Luke doesn't come with goggles?!
Missed opportunity for sure! -Justin
Great vid again got 3 otw thru game stop cant wait
Nice! Thanks for watching as always, Steve! -Justin
Thanks man! Still have to pick this up:)
Appreciate ya watching! -Justin
Where are you guys located. When I watch your drone shots your target looks alot like mine. Just thought we could watch out for each other if we are close.
We're in the Chicagoland area in Northwest Indiana. -Justin
Love these figures
Thanks for checking out the review, Commander Philbo! -Justin
I’ve decided that the only reason I’ll get these figures is if I see them in person. Would go great on a hoth shelf with my Snowspeeder.
Good luck and happy hunting! Thanks for watching! -Nate
And they go with 40th Hoth Leia (or Black Series) and Hoth Trooper from last year also.
Woww your figures look great! Much better than the other reviews ive seen with really bad face sculpts!
Must've got lucky! Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin
It's not the sculpts. It's the paint. The paint applications aren't always consistent. Some look better than others.
I pre-ordered my Han Solo Hoth from GAMESTOP. I hope I get the dark brown jacket one. And for my Luke, I found him at Target.
Yeah, kinda weird that there's a variant on this one. Hope you get the one you want! -Justin
Nice honest video! I got Han, but passed on Luke...his face just scared me,lol. They can do better than that, for sure🤷♂️
Easily! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Unfortunately, I found both of these at Walmart but the face print on Luke was really really bad. The eyes were really bad. And Han's scarf was missing some paint :(
Luckily, I did manage to pick up a Thrawn there :)
Yeah the eyes have been really bad specifically on the Luke. They used way too much blue paint. Thrawn is a great figure though! Glad you could find them. -Justin
I think this Han Hoth looks ok...like a sweaty version of Indiana Jones
Lmao so true! Thanks for watching, Pinoy! -Nate

I wanted to pass but got them anyway. Not in love with the Luke face sculpt.. I bought the Wampa so couldn't pass on Luke.
True the Luke is iffy but I think they're still both good to have. Especially with the Wampa! Thanks for checking out the review. -Justin
I’m gonna order the Han Solo figure it’s gonna look good with my Luke fig
Gotta have a Han for your Luke! Thanks for watching! -Nate
@@OutOfTheBasement np 😊
DO IT!!! TEAR EM OPEN!!! lol now i need some archive face updated ANH versions of these 2!! or better yet updated even.... the only accessories i need is another tauntaun LOL i dont understand why they cant go back to original days of realface tech without shinyness, im guessing its a cost cut measure? ive watched the hoth scenes with han over and over and finally decided hes wearing a brown jacket, so its nice having that original figure to match my old kenner figure.... stay safe keep on making great videos!!
They definitely need to make a new Star Wars (1977) Han Solo with photo-real! Thanks for watching, David! -Justin
Nice , but the eyes on Luke, I think I'd just put the goggles on the face and display him that way when they show up.
That's the stuff of night mares
Good idea Larry! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Luke looks like he is in his 40s-50s when he was in his 20s I believe while filming episode 4, I am passing he just looks 40 when he shouldn’t be.
Those big blue demon eyes are pretty scary! -Justin
Nice review Nate👍🇨🇦👍
Thanks for watching! -Nate
The mate faces are much much better like the bespin Han and the ep 2 obi wan are really good heads 😊
Definitely agree with Han but my obi looks pretty bad, although, I think it’s mostly just because of the bad photo real application but still. Thanks for watching! -Nate
My obi looks really good maybe you got a bad copy of him

It seems every incarnation they do of Luke looks different.
Right?! I totally agree, Hasbro nailed him 3 times in a row and now we are right back to this. SMH! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Still good enough for this pair to join with my 40th Leia and Hoth Trooper! (I'm not finicky)
Great video 👍🇺🇸
Thanks for watching, John! -Justin
First, Luke isn't a blue-eyed demon just he eats too much Spice and became a "Fremen" from Dune 😂😅!!!*
Second, Han its just sweaty because that uniform is uncomfortably thicker. 🤔🧐
Luke is the LISAN AL GAIB
@@OutOfTheBasement all Hail Shai Hulud!!! Follow our God Emperor,Nate From Out Of The Basement Kingdom!!!*
🤣lol my sis said that Luke looked like he had plastic surgery!🤣
So true! Thanks for watching! -Nate
Cheers guys, really disappointed by this Luke and Han. I’ll get Cody and try find Thrawn with a good paint job!
Thanks for watching, Burtronic! -Justin

Yep I don't know why or how they used way too much blue paint for Luke's eyes!!! -Justin
Hello there
General Mills!
I think the older Han with a better face paint would be a far better figure
It’s definitely a better sculpt! -Nate
The Han face is absolutely awful. Seriously not sure what they were thinking. The figure sculpt is decent. The wrists are a joke. With the hood on the figure looks great because you can’t see how bad the face is. I chose between 3 and they were all bad. I can’t stress how bad Han’s face is. Photo Real of someone else.

These days I think both are generally pretty bad. Thanks for watching! -Nate
Like honestly WTF? Who is managing this Black Series. I love the improvements they are gradually making but they still do some weird inconsistent shit. That shiny has to go
Yeah I'm not sure what they're trying to do with the photo-real heads but I'm not liking the shine! -Justin
