Love Lando! Here's my 30-bk, bought in 1995 for around £30

Wow, that is a very cool moc and for only £30 in 1995 I love that palitoy logo

Some collectors don't care about variants. Fair enough, I say. Of those that do care, a lot of people seem to think there are only two variants of Lando; with teeth and without teeth. However, there are variations in his head and body sculpts, in addition to the more obvious paint differences. The head can be narrow or wide, and the body sculpts are most easily distinguished from one another by the belt buckles, which come in at least three different styles. Whilst I don't think that all possible head, belt and teeth combinations exist as variations, a lot of them certainly do, and I've tried to track down as many of them as I can find.

After starting in the early nineties with the plain old, 'teeth' and 'no teeth' versions (and in blissful ignorance of belt buckle differences!):

Heads, Teeth & Belts - 01.jpg
I have since moved on to fill in a few of the variant gaps with a further 9 figures:

and here's a group shot of the 9 Lando's above:

I love variants, awesome collection. about the belts, do they have the same coo or can one type of belt only be found on one special coo variant ?

Awesome info Jeremy. Thanks for sharing, especially the closeup buckle detailing. I just collect the major Kenner variants at the moment so don’t have all the thin and fat heads, fastened, unfastened and no buckle trousers round the ankles variants though I do also have a PBP variant (on the right).

looking great, I love the pbp lando it looks so cool I have not seen this rare lando figures before that can use the force to stand on the head without using the arms

Is that our right, or Australia's?

There are some great examples and variants of Lando. Interesting to see the buckles variation.

Here's my childhood Lando, back in his original Trilogo card.

fantastic card, I love tri-logo. Cool that you still have items like that from your childhood is it still sealed ?

Some are tricky to find like the Ewoks one, you do see them a few times a year on eBay though. I’ve got 6 of the large ones for sale in the FS section (shameless plug )
