1977 STAR WARS - A NEW HOPE - HAN SOLO Large and Small head figures!

1977 Star Wars: A New Hope Han Solo - Kenner

Almost universally a favorite character in the Star Wars franchise, Han Solo's action figure history is odd, at best.  Originally produced with a small head (picture on left), Kenner overdid it a bit and produced a larger-headed version  that was a bit too over-the top.

Auctions on both figures abound on ebay, to a degree I was surprised.  Far more examples of both with and without the blaster are more prolific than any other I have so far researched.

The Breakdown:
Small Head Han incomplete: Small Head figure without blaster (or with repro)Small Head Han Complete: Small Head figure with original blaster.
Large Head Han incomplete: Large Head figure without blaster (or with repro)
Large Head Han Complete: Large Head figure with original blaster. 

  September 2016 IMPRESSIONS:

• Had some incomplete small heads go for a WHOLE lot of money, affecting the pricing. Expecting this one to come back down in October.
• Prices generally up in all categories.

I didn't go into the variants as to where they were produced - not enough precise data.
