“So how many Han Solo LEGO minifigures are there, really?” “Are the Hoth look and the Endor look different figures?” “Does the carbonite block count as a minifigure?” “Is there a Solo movie version too?”
If you collect these, you’ve probably run into questions like these. Here’s a single roundup that sorts it all out.
Hello there! Figrou, I am — your guide, hmm. Figbase, a reference site it is, where which sets the LEGO minifigures come in, and how to tell the variants apart, across the board mapped out they are. Wherever your curiosity leads, begin there you should.
This article organizes how to tell apart every variant of the LEGO Han Solo minifigure, along with the main sets each one appears in, all in one reference table. It’s structured around form categories based on the on-screen scenes.
The short version: the LEGO Han Solo minifigure can be grouped into roughly nine form categories: “Classic / Hoth / Bespin / Endor / carbonite block / Skiff / Stormtrooper disguise / Young (Solo movie) / Old (sequel).” By the tally, that’s 17 variants plus 2 carbonite blocks plus 1 microfigure.

Who Is Han Solo?
Han Solo is a main character of the Star Wars original trilogy (Episodes IV-VI), the central figure of a story that takes him from galactic smuggler, to Rebel Alliance hero, to the bonds of family.
He’s the pilot of his beloved Millennium Falcon, with the Wookiee Chewbacca as his partner. He ends up with Leia Organa and they have a son, Ben Solo (later Kylo Ren). The spin-off film Solo: A Star Wars Story portrays a young Han Solo as its protagonist, and in the sequel trilogy (Episodes VII-IX) he returns as an older figure, killed by his son Kylo Ren in Episode VII in a tragic turn.
Han Solo Minifigures by Form Category: Around Nine Main Groups
Han Solo minifigures have been released continuously from his 2000 debut to today, and official and fan-site tallies confirm 17 variants plus 2 carbonite blocks plus 1 microfigure. For practical reference, this article organizes them by form category based on the on-screen scenes.

|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Han Solo (standard, Episodes IV-VI) | sw0014 (old version, yellow face) / sw0179 (Light Nougat) family | White shirt, black vest, and blue legs (or brown legs). The most basic form | #7190 Millennium Falcon, #75257 Millennium Falcon |
| Hoth Han (snow coat) | various generations | Blue-to-blue-gray open jacket plus brown legs, his outfit at the Hoth base in Episode V | #4500 Rebel Snowspeeder and others |
| Bespin Han (Bespin look) | various generations | Bright blue jacket, his outfit just before being frozen in carbonite on Bespin | Cloud City sets |
| Endor Han (Endor forest look) | various generations | Green camo poncho, the speeder bike scene in Episode VI | #75094 Imperial Shuttle Tydirium and others |
| Carbonite (frozen block) | sw0978, sw0984 (dedicated block) | A square block printed with Han Solo frozen in carbonite. A special part rather than a normal minifigure | #75060 UCS Slave I and others |
| Skiff Han (just after carbonite thaw) | various generations | Blue jumpsuit, the skiff escape scene in Episode VI | Skiff sets |
| Stormtrooper disguise | various generations | Wearing white Stormtrooper armor, his disguise from infiltrating the Death Star in Episode IV | #10188 Death Star and others |
| Han Solo, Young (Solo spin-off) | sw0357 | Young Han Solo, based on the spin-off film Solo: A Star Wars Story | #75212 Kessel Run Millennium Falcon and others |

Which Form to Choose
The iconic “this is Han Solo” look is the white-shirt-and-black-vest Classic Han. It’s the base form you’ll want to secure if you plan to display him with the Millennium Falcon. If you’re aiming to recreate a scene with strong theatrical memories, the Hoth look (snow) or the Endor look (forest poncho) are the options. If you’re a spin-off film fan, the Young version works; for the sequel generation, the Old version is an option too.

A set number that catches your eye, if there is — search it as-is on a database (Brickset, BrickLink, BrickEconomy, and so on), you should, to confirm the minifigures it includes. Many form categories, Han Solo has. So which era of Han you want, decide first you must — then easier to narrow the sets down together with Figrou, it becomes.
First, Latest, Rarest, and Cheapest: If You’re Buying a Han Solo Minifigure
- First appearance: #7190 Millennium Falcon (2000) / sw0014 (the yellow-faced old-version Classic Han)
- Latest: recent Star Wars sets keep adding new variants. The sequel/spin-off generation Young Han (sw0357) and Old Han (sw0841) are relatively newer generations
- Rarest: special versions limited to large UCS sets, and limited sets (SDCC exclusives / Star Wars Celebration exclusives) sit in the scarce tier. We’ve refrained from a strict ranking
- Cheapest: versions included in small sets sit in the lower price range. Launch reference prices vary widely by set scale, so we’ve avoided cross-comparison
