Rebel Suits Redux. (Vintage Han Solo Bespin Outfit, Vintage Luke Skywalker Bespin Fatigues)
The Bespin Luke Skywalker was probably the last action figure acquired for my childhood collection that I was really nuts about. The Bespin Han Solo clearly wasn’t bad, but he just couldn’t compete with the be-hooded Han Solo (Hoth Battle Gear) which was many times more awesome.
Puzzle #01: Here’s a challenge for all you super-sleuths. Can you identify exactly what these two are standing in front of? I’ll give you a clue: it was made by Kenner between 1977 and 1985. I will send a rad Star Wars toy to the first person to post the correct answer in the comments.
Those of you keeping score will already know that this photo is the re-think of an earlier shot that to me has always felt a little bit below-grade.
I’ll take a stab at it that the thing in the background is the inside of a vintage Vader TIE wing.
Absolutely correct.
Nice work, SW Nutjob. I tried for about an hour yesterday (at work!) to figure out what that was. I’m only just now beginning to be able to make it out.
