1/6 Hot Toys - Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back: Lando Calrissian (Bespin version)

[Chakaman]

I just unboxed Lando. Great figure. Looking forward to futzing the cape and posing him properly.

Tamed the effing collar with soft/round cable wire I have lying around, can't tame the effing cape still.

So did you simply put the wire under the collar and bend it around his neck ?

Yes, pull the collar up, put the wire on, adjust, bring down the collar back to normal position.

OK cool thanks. Interesting that's enough to keep it in place. I guess all it needs is a local stiffener.

Yep......that is what she said.

Has anyone tried the "water treatment" on the cape?

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Some really awesome pics in this thread!!
Congrats to those that finally got him in.
Hope HT can get to General Lando or a Skiff Guard version.

Tried the wire around the collar trick and it definitely tamed the collar on my figure which otherwise just wanted to stand erect.

 

[Hoody999]

So Lando joins the "Good Guys" OG lineup !!

Superb pics everyone.

Congrats on CAPE WARS!

Hoody - can I ask how you made that Death Star background? I actually hope to make something like that myself next year but have no idea where to start. Your display looks unreal with it, great job!

I wish I could get the cape on mine lying as flat as that.

I folded the cape at the back and used some paper clips to hold it (another trick I learned here) and I also tucked some of the cape between the legs and stand. That kinda keeps it all in place and reduces the volume considerably. The rest is just futzed using the wires. Took me a few weeks playing with the damn thing though. It was the collar that was really annoying.

Shouldn't Lando be wearing bell bottoms? I think the shirt should have been a tad longer in the sleeves.

said in Ladies voice : "Oh my, what a big gun you have there Lando !"

Cancel Hoody!

 

[Timemeddler]

Here's mine. I removed the (unnecessary) fat suit and glued down the collar. I also used clips on the back of the cape to help rein it in!

 

[Asta]

Yes. It's planned obsolescence in case HT decide to issue a 2.0 version.

I think Lando is trying to hypnotize me
