Hey guys, there are only a few of these pieces left so grab one if you want it!
*Update...get on the wait list ASAP!
Sideshow Collectibles, Inc. - Star Wars / Han Solo in Carbonite - 12-inch Figure Environment



The Han Solo in Carbonite 12-inch Figure Environment captures every detail of the carbonite slab as Han hung suspended as a trophy on Jabba's wall, motionless and frozen in time. The piece is constructed of highest quality materials, incuding heavy-weight polystone, then hand painted and hand-finished to Sideshow's exacting standards. Han in Carbonite is suspended from the palace wall display using a single pin and magnet system, and can be removed from the wall for additional display configurations. The Han Solo in Carbonite 12 inch Figure Environment is a stunning addition to any collection, and the perfect complement to your Star Wars 12-inch Figure collection.

For the Han in Carbonite, is it one solid block or does it open with another figure inside? Or is it hollow with room to put one in?

From what I hear, it is a solid block. For the price, I was hoping for a second fig but it does come with a cool wall section. Plus it is a companion piece to Jaba.

Thanks! I wonder if the displays for Han and Jabba will interlock or if they sit side-by-side.

That is something I would like to know myself. I will look into it and see what I can dig up.

I collect the Sideshow stuff, though my collection has slowed due to the rising costs. I love them though, great stuff. Jabba is one impressive figure! I have a hard time justifying Han though, that was pretty high for what it is.

I like the Sideshow SW product, but it has taken WAY too long to get to armored Vader and Troopers.

Great product though...glad they are released so few and far between.

Get that fig if you can Shin...It is the best one in the line! In fact, Obi in clone armor was the first armor fig and the exclusive was a tough grab. Sideshow sent out emails to wait list members and told them no go with that fig (first time that happened). Vader and the troopers should be incredible and I can n ot wait. The only thing I hate is that for the majority of the year they space them out....until we hit October/ November. They tend to hit us with 2-4 in that short period of time. Heck I have 2 dropping on the same blasted day! Anyways, get em man, you will love them!

Now this is pretty sweet looking and would look great with the large size Jabba that was put out a while back.

Looks good, though I wish it could open up to include an in-scale Han figure as well.

I want to have one as a refrigerator door one day. The hands could be ice dispensers and shit. Plus, I'll be going up to it all the time, all "I want some soda" and he'll be all "I know"

It is going to rock

That would be awesome. You might also want to invest in a life size Bib Fortuna in case you are dieting. That way if you want to avoid the Soda, Bib can tell you "Ne Jabba no Badda"

My favorite imperial officer (Came from an old joke amongst me and my friends). It's really going to be tough to resist getting this guy. But I am glad he will be in charge now.

Sideshow does it again!

He's my favorite as well, especially since we got to see him move up the ranks of the Imperial Fleet within the actual movies.

I still want to see an evolutions pack of him, Ozzel and Tarkin. Make it something like the Joe three packs and I'm sold.

Of all the iconic characters in the Star Wars universe, the Rebel Fleet Trooper holds a special place in my heart. Besides the Storm Troopers, The Fleet Trooper was first seen during the boarding of the Tantive IV. At first glance, one could easily tell these were the good guys. The look, the feel and the attitude are instilled in this character. Sideshow has immortalized the brave men who fought the troopers and gave their lives for the Republic.
The figure itself sports a modest amount of articulation. Sideshow is utilizing the new body designs that replaced the first generation bodies used in the beginning of the line. The figure sports modest accessories and the details on both the gun and helmet are fantastic. Here is a break down of the accessories included: The Rebel Fleet Trooper 12 inch Figure features:
  • Fully articulated male body (Art S. Buck) with 30+ points of articulation
  • Authentic likeness of Lieutenant Pello Scrumbas
  • Shirt
  • Vest
  • Pants
  • Boots
  • Detailed belt with holster
  • Helmet with antenna
  • Rebel Trooper blaster
  • Interchangeable hands
  • 12-inch Figure Display Base with Star Wars logo
The only issue I have with the figure is 1- the sleeves seem to short and 2- changing out the hands can be difficult. Please be careful not to snap the tab on the wrist. Other than those two issues, I am very satisfied with the figure. I know it is not an armored figure but those are coming very soon. The Rebel Fleet Trooper can now protect the Princess and will soon be joined by Captain Antilles.

Does anyone like this figure? Shoot I feel bad for the poor guy. I also received Ki Adi Mundi. Let me know if you want some shots of him before he goes into storage.

You know, those are cool, but they feel more like dolls to me, as oppose to action figures. But that's just my opinion.
