Just in time for the premiere of Solo: A Star Wars Story comes word that we are to expect the first pairing of 1:18 scale Star Wars ships from Mattel’s Star Wars Elite series. Slated to arrive before the weekend is the Millennium Falcon (HWCMC93), the ship of lore that made the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs, and piloted by none other than Han Solo and his hairy, oversized side kick, Chewbacca.
Also up for your consideration is an insidious TIE Fighter as seen in the series’ second feature film, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (HWCMC92). Both are packed in handsome black boxes reminiscent of some of the older Kenner packaging used to promote the toys seen in several of the earlier Star Wars films.
