Wrong holster configuration on the Solo! They got it right on the box art though!
How did they get his trench coat color oh so wrong?
Do you mean where the strap for the holster is located on his thigh? If so, I think they had to do it the way they did because of the knee joint.
Someone explained to me that the belt buckle is turned the wrong way.
I don't know these things.. here's a pretty image:
Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't noticed it and doubt I would have. Of course, ideally Hasbro should be super accurate, but I can live with such a small inaccuracy.Someone explained to me that the belt buckle is turned the wrong way.

I had no idea myself, but I remember asking more or less the same question as you did and got the answer that they turned the buckle the "wrong way". I think I can live with that as well.
this han looks really well done. the trenchcoat looks off in color, the old POTF han was perfect
Yep ur right.

Well now I will never be able to unsee this.Someone explained to me that the belt buckle is turned the wrong way.

Spoiler:
but a fun detail though.
I just found him, and only him, this morning at Target. Glad I skipped out on the exclusive, though the set did look outstanding.
He's showing up in stores already?
The whole wave has been showing up at Target over the past week.

Thank you for posting these!
Certain Targets, mostly in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
I’m in the Scranton, PA area, so they’ve hit the east coast as well.

Really all they gotta do is get out the ANH belt from the orange box Han and you are almost there
Not exactly liking the case sculpt TBH, something seems off about it.

Nothing at my target in Washington state.
Here in the mountain west as well. They've been showing up all over the country kind of scattershot.

The "case sculpt"?
Yeah, IDK what happened there means to say "face" sculpt. Sometimes my fingers to the walking. lol
His face looks like it's had a squeeze and that 'stache is not doing anything good either.

I have a HOE version, and he doesn't look like that. Perhaps there's some variation in the printing?
On the subject of the trench coat, I wonder if a quick dunk in bleach (or a diluted solution of same) might lighten it some? I haven't unpacked mine yet, so I don't know if the material is one that would lighten or not....

Still that weird mustache. Ugh. Nothing fingernail polish remover can’t handle. But why didn’t they give him butterfly joints in the shoulders so he actually looks ok without the vest on. Oh right...$$$

I'm really hoping for a completely newly-sculpted ANH "Yavin Ceremony" Han, with a new head and butterfly shoulders, in the next few years.
Butterfly joints in the elbows? I'm not sure what you mean by that.
IKR, next he'll be wanting butterflies in their belly.
He mistyped (meant shoulders clearly), but I’m not sure why you’d want to display Han in a look he never has on Endor. Perhaps as a Jabba’s Palace or Bespin Carbonite chamber custom? You’d have to swap the lower half though.
Though I'm a cherry picker with Black Series, I do often pick up Han's. But this one just isn't doing it for me. The trench coat looks cheap and that face just...I can't explain it. It's just...not right.
Shoulders, the elbows of the torso, and the knees of the neck?
That straight on shot, phew, jaw looks a little wide. Like the overall width of the face look right, but the bottom part of the jaw at the widest part, goes down too far. Almost like Han Solo wearing some sort of prosthesis disguise.
But for some reason Hasbro's glamor shots never look as great as in hand shots.
