Have you ever noticed that the word ‘outfit’ doesn’t really sound all together manly? A fine example is the original name on the Empire Strikes Back card back for the Han Solo (Hoth Outfit) action figure. Though you can count on the fact that the name didn’t actually affect sales, Kenner must have realized the power of a name when they renamed todays addition to the classic Kenner photo archive Han Solo (Hoth Battle Gear)’ on the Return Of The Jedi card backs. Either way, the figure’s (sort of) working holster made this version of the scoundrel very cool… even if we all wish to disregard the ‘outfit’ thing completely…
