Got this is a figure lot today. He is in lovely condition with zero paint loss on his hands but his neck seems a bit unusual. Looks like it's been painted?? Can anyone shed some light on whether this is a touch up or factory paint job??

Hi!

My name is Eugene. I have the Exact Figure from my Childhood. I can confirm that his neck is painted. But yours looks as though it's been retouched some how? Mine is in mint condition as it was never played with! I can send you a picture to confirm if you like?

Yeah I think these look a bit weird because the head is flesh coloured plastic and the torso isn't so the neck is painted and the colour is different, the neck's a bit darker. Yours looks the same as mine colour wise, hard to tell if it's been repainted but the colour looks right to me :wink:

Please LMK if you're parting with it as it's one figure in the loose run I really do need an upgrade for

Hi!

Eugene here! The Original 1978-(1977) Han Solo has a Skin Coloured Plastic Head with mid to light brown hair. His neck is flesh coloured paint over black plastic. His Legs, however, are white plastic painted black! If I remember correctly a kid who had the same 'Figure' the legs on that one was moulded in Black Plastic! But Everything Else was the same. I guess it is another Variant? I have three Princess Leia's in Hoth Outfit that are Completely Different! Actually it might be Four? It's the same with my Hoth Rebel Troopers and Jedi Rebel Commando's! The F-X7 Medical Droid Frustrated Me as his Arm is Bent and can't be straightened! I later bought one with one that was perfect. A later Variant like my 21-B's. The Metallic Variant was bought for me when I was in Hospital as a kid. But I was shrud enough to notice the Difference and not say that I had one already! Anyways Here's Han!
