Han Solo Star Wars UK/International Kenner 1998 12" Action Figure

Kenner produced two 12 Inch Figures exclusively for the United Kingdom at the peak of the Collectors Series line. This happened prior to the line converting or transitioning into the Action Collection branding. The two figures, Luke Skywalker and Han Solo came in Collector Series-like packaging, but the moniker isn't found anywhere on it. Kenner intentionally designed a higher-quality version of Han Solo (in smuggler's gear for their international market, and they did so with an all-new buck. These two new figures have a 1998 date stamp. Also exclusive to this release is a “swinging action” action feature. A black lever sticks out from the back (which you depress), and you utilize it to recreate a "quick draw" action with the figure's arms while you hold the rest of the body. Included are Han's signature DL-44 blaster and blaster rifle accessories. The new body and the new head sculpt are significant upgrades to what Kenner/Hasbro gave the American collecting community in 1996 with the first Luke Skywalker and Han Solo Collector Series figures. Also, the outfit parts are more refined as well. The fabrics are of better quality and appear more streamlined, and the black vest comes loaded with pockets. The figure has 22 points of articulation, and pose better than Hasbro's American figures. Both the international (UK) exclusive Luke Skywalker and Han Solo are some of the rarest 12 Inch Figures produced in the modern line.
