Two additional Star Wars items have been added and they include:
“Han Solo” in carbonite test bust from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. (TCF, 1980) One of the most iconic images in film of all time is “Han Solo” (Harrison Ford) frozen in a block of Carbonite at the climatic ending of  Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. This is a production-made test bust of “Solo’s” face frozen in Carbonite. Since the full-body prop had to appear to float via antigravity units embedded in its sides, this test 15 x 13 x 5 in. “Solo” head, incorporating a lifemask of Ford, was constructed of lightweight vacuum formed plastic to gauge the durability of the ultimate prop and to allow it to hover on wires. Painted in gunmetal gray/silver in post-production. There is one visible crack on the flashing of the plastic, however does not affect the head or face. In vintage, very good to fine condition.

Twin-pod “Cloud Car” from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back. (TCF, 1980) This “Cloud Car” from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back was expertly recreated using several production-made vacuum formed shell components comprising the ship’s twin hulls and cockpit. The 18 x 20 x 7 in. model has been finished for display, post-production, by adding the linking section or “bridge” between the two pod capsules, 2-detailed pilot figures and surface detailing in orange, rust and black. This type of ship is clearly seen in the film through the cockpit window of the Millennium Falcon. The impressive restoration was executed by Vision Scenery. Comes on a 12 x 12 in. wooden base suspended on an 8 in. post.
