A couple of corrections.

I had occasion to watch all three Star Wars movies last weekend, but something told me to watch them again last night. So I did.

Turns out that despite being able to recite 90% or more of the dialogue from all three movies from memory, I would make a LOUSY costume designer. It seems that I somehow forgot that the Imperial Guardsmen wore a plastic-ee glossy helmet on their heads, not a fabric hood as I thought. AND, my review reminded me that I'd forgotten to stripe Han Solo's pants! Not only that, but if I had striped them, it would have been yellow, which would have been WRONG on the outfit this figure is wearing. This is the version he wears in the original Star Wars movie, and the stripe on his pants is RED! In the second one, he wears a jacket, not a vest and while he does wear a vest (and a yellow stripe on his pants - actually it's a series of yellow ovals printed down the legs...) in the third movie, the shirt is different - see the next picture.


When I examined this figure, the shirt struck me as odd. I didn't recall Han's neckline plunging the way it does on the figure. Turns out that I was recalling the high collared version from the third movie. In the first movie, his shirt does indeed have an open collar as depicted on the figure. I have corrected my paint job accordingly.
