With very little time to paint lately, I've taken to quick 20 minute NPKB's.  I've always wanted a version of Solo in an Imp Pilot outfit (prior to becoming the famed scoundrel we love), so I put one together recently.

I also came across an image of Solo in a blue shirt and white/light tan jacket commanding a fleet of New Republic Star Destroyers in the recent Crimson Empire III comic series; lo and behold, I had the parts to mimic this look perfectly

Here they are:

You can downplay these by saying that they're "just NPKB", but they are still awesome figures.

I love the Han Solo!

I want to say, the body is from Concept Luke Skywalker, the arms and jacket are from Legacy Biggs Darklighter?

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments.

The NR Han was really simple to make; here's the recipe:

head = Bespin Han (TVC)
torso/jacket/lower arms = Biggs Darklighter (TAC)
upper arms = McQuarrie Concept Snowtrooper (TAC)
hands = ??? (fodder bin)
legs/feet = McQuarrie Concept Luke Skywalker (TAC)
holster = Bespin Han (TVC

The Bespin Han head sculpt doesn't fit perfectly on the Biggs torso, so I used a dab of poster tack---which you can get at any home improvement store---to keep it on more tightly (and it doesn't damage your figs if you want to remove it later).



Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
