2) Han Solo

Honestly, both of these initial Han Solo and Luke Skywalker figures are for all intents and purposes equally terrible. They’re ridiculously proportioned, their heads are too small, their faces look nothing like the actors, to the point that these feel like bootleg toys instead of authentic Star Wars merchandise. But what sets Han above Luke in the annals of terribleness are two things: 1) I do think his chest is even bigger than Luke’s, which is astoundingly awful, and 2) he’s wearing a vest. A vest that is somehow skintight. A vest that clings to his abs and tiny waist in defiance of physics, gravity, and God. Even in the galaxy where faster-than-light travel and laser swords exist, I feel completely confident in saying they don’t have the technology to bring a vest that would fit someone like this into being, and nor should they.
