Major Variants
There are two, and both are pictured.  The first is a dark-skinned human named Sgt Edian (unnamed on the card), and happens to be one of the few remaining vintage figures that were still left to be modernized.  The second is an alien of the Imzig species named Utris M’Toc (also unnamed on the card).  The human figure was distributed with the ESB wave, and came with the left arm to HK-50.  The Imzig figure was distributed with the Toys R Us exclusive “EU” wave, the final wave of the Legacy Collection, and was packaged with the right leg of BG-J38.

Notes
Utris M’Toc’s scene was cut from the final version of ESB, so is therefore “just offscreen” or even EU, so it is perhaps fitting it was packaged with the EU wave.

Really not much to complain about here.  This figure is an outstanding sculpt, with the standard articulation for a current figure.  The headsculpts on the variants are both unique.  I particularly like the alien, although the paint is slightly odd.  The Each figure comes with a 2-toned pistol and silver baton.  The figure can grip the weapons tightly in their hands, and they fit snuggly in their corresponding holster.  The holsters are actually removeable, as they have a peg which plugs into a hole on each hip.  The cap fits on top of the head a bit oddly, as it rides kind of high.  It also isn’t tight, and will fall off easily.  The top of each headsculpt is very similar so it appears the caps are interchangeable.  One other small thing is that the shoulder ball joints are not particularly well hidden.  When the arms are extended, the “pivot” part of the joint sticks out a bit sharply.  Small nitpick, but Hasbro has done better with hiding joints.

Overall, these figures are excellent background characters to fill out your Bespin scenes.  They’re not the most exciting, but they certainly seem to be defnitive versions of these characters, and I’m happy to have them.
