More 12" Lando Skiff Guard Wave

On my way out of town on Saturday, I stopped at TRU west in Madison. They had more than one case of these figures on the shelf. Lando is by far the best of the group. He uses the new GI Joe body that has articulated fingers plus his accessories are pretty nice, as is his outfit. Han Solo features the quick draw action found in an European exclusive a few years back, but he has a different head sculpt. Too bad, because the original head sculpt was better. This one makes his head look like a peanut. Plus, the portion of his neck that is part of his head is quite a bit larger than the portion that is attached to the body. The AT-ST driver is plain just like the character. On the plus side, if you are looking for a good Ben Burt head to use on a custom, this figure has it.
