Let’s Take A look At Han Solo and Lando Calrissian Star Wars Black Series Figures

Solo: A Star Wars Story hits theaters in a few weeks, and the merchandise blitz started this weekend. Star Wars collectors are flooding stores looking for the new Black Series 6-inch, the return of The Vintage Collection, new ships, Funko Pops…you name it. That is, if they can actually find the stuff. For those who have, they should be happy with the two figures we are going to take a look at today- the Black Series Han Solo himself and one Lando Calrissian.

I think it is time for a new box look Hasbro. While there is nothing really wrong with the current incarnation, it has been around now for awhile and they all blend together. At least change the background and accent colors like you have with figures like the Spirit Obi-Wan exclusive last year. If you have seen one, you have seen them all.

These figures take advantage of the new face print technology that Hasbro is using on their figures now, and boy does it make a world of difference. This looks like a pretty spot on Alden Ehrenreich as far as I am concerned. A little bit more emotion on the face would have been nice, like a sly little smile or such. I don’t hate it, but it could have been better. Other than that- the figure is pretty great. good range of motion on the arms, mine also had a great paint job. I will always pose Han with his hand on the holster forever, so achieving that pose was easy. Be careful with the holster though. The strap is very thin and will rip easily.

Lando is perfect. I will tell you right now, besides having a plastic cape instead of cloth, there is zero wrong with this figure. A perfect likeness of Donald Glover. An amazing scarf. Colors that pop. A great blaster that fits into the extended holster perfectly. Just a stellar figure. Get him as soon as possible.

These are in stores now, and can also be ordered here.

Let’s Look At The Thanos 10 Inch Funko Pop And How Awesome It Is

Thanos is my favorite comic book villain. One of my favorite villains period really. Just the ultimate bad guy. With Avengers: Infinity War finally hitting theaters in under two weeks now, the Mad Titan is having his moment in the sun. I have been going nuts trying to keep up with all of the Thanos merch in stores, especially from Funko. One item in particular was number one on my list from them- the 10-inch Thanos Pop. Exclusive to Target stores, they have done a few 10-inch Pops already. Groot, a Porg, a Gladiator Hulk. All pale in comparison, and after weeks of walking into Target and leaving empty-handed, I finally got my hands on one yesterday.

Thanos comes in an awesome oversized Pop box, with a giant picture window showing off the Pop. After the problems with Hulk’s hammer breaking in shipment, they took extra precautions protecting the Infinity Gauntlet and wrapped it in plastic inside. Mint in box collectors take note- the bottom of the Pop speech bubble on the top of the border near the top of the box bends up on a lot of these. Keep an eye on yours.

With some slight differences, this is basically the regular release Pop scaled up. the 10-inch Pop has Thanos making a fist with the Gauntlet, while the regular Pop has the fingers flexed out. He has a giant smirk on his face from knowing that he has won, and they did a great job balancing him out. Mine stands absolutely perfectly. The Infinity Stones are all brightly colored, and my figure also has zero paint issues. There was a weird glue spot on the back of his head, but I was able to get it off with ease.

I love every Thanos offered by Funko right now, and this was a more than welcome addition to the group. As you can see, I have them all- the 10-inch Pop, the regular release Pop and the Walmart exclusive, the Dorbz, the Mystery Mini, and even the Pop Keychain. The only missing piece from my Funko Infinity War Thanos family is the Galactic Plushie, and thats only because it hasn’t hit around here yet in my neck of the woods.

I have a feeling that there will be something Thanos in the Infinity War Marvel Collectors Corps box as well. You can preorder that right here, right now. Today is the last day! Here is a trailer they released for that:
