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

[TonTon]

I didn't think we'd ever get another version of Lando, so I put the SS clothes on a HT body to get a better version. Would like a General Lando, but not enough to pay for a 3rd party clothing set, not yet anyways...

Awesome upgrade! How much work did it take to get the new head in there? Tempted to try this.

Thought I had some more pics of the work, but I'll have to get him out of storage to take pics of the head - I have to shave most of the hair off to get the helmet to fit. But it's just press fit on, so I'll try to take some pics of the head later without the helmet. The body, hands, and head are all HT. I did have to mod the bottom of the legs for the SS sandles to fit, but it wasn't too bad. Just sawed off a little bit from the HT legs and glued the plugs from the SS legs. I used some plastic bonding epoxy. I picked up some Finn lightsaber hands to hold the vibroblade. The only change I made to the SS outfit was to color the white strings on the shoulder armor with a brown sharpie.

Looks great. I never could get clothing to cover the neck seem at the base near the body so I cut the neck off the head and added it to the sideshow body.

A very underrated figure, for some reason. Good pic!

Thanks.

He's good once the cape's been tamed. The only change I did was give him the trousers from Sideshow's Lando, since they're wider at the ankles.

Wonder if they will ever do another version with rolling eyeballs in the sculpt. Would really bring out some expressive Lando!

Maybe doubtful as I think Lando was hard to sell unfortunately.

Its a great figure and I think sold ok. They just made a TON of them.

Mines sitting in the box until someone releases a custom cape or I am able to sell it and make at least most of my money back.
