I think Bespin Luke has been set back quite a ways after The Mandalorian finale. They still have to do Snowspeeder too and that is not scheduled until middle of next year.
And who knows what's going on with Bespin Han? It's just ridiculous and beyond explanation that it hasn't been put up for preorder at this point.

Those teaser pics from the bespin leia preorder are from 2018! Something is definitely up. Bespin han is guaranteed seller. They can reuse the sculpt for endor, hoth, and whatever other Han they can make. The first half of this year is the time for esb Han and chewie. No new movies or shows on the horizon. Baze and cassian too!

Perhaps a Hashtag for #BespinHan is needed on every Hot toys reveal and announcement?
I know everything something is put up,I'm always using the Bespin Han Gif on Facebook where he is pointing at himself.lol
Seriously..with Luke Leia,and soon Bespin Lando,Bespin Han is really a no brainer for them.
Make him a DX with Carbonite block and hell,even add the Trench Coat OR Hoth outfit similiar to what they did with the TFA version.
I know they are only 6 years in (Not including DX7),with the Star Wars license,but really,this guy should be on top of their list.
TESB was also released in 81 in some countries,so we are still in the 40th Anniversary territory

It seems so incredibly strange that this has gone on so long and HT has never responded to it, and that there's no way to really ask them directly (as numerous other companies have done over the years.) Howard Chan seems about as accessible as Howard Hughes was.
The strangest thing of all is that a quite limited appeal figure like Leia Bespin - a fig many weren't as interested in but would have bought to go alongside a HT Bespin Han - not only was previewed but actually got a PO and shipped. And... HT chose to show a Bespin Han in the preview pics.
This whole HT Han Bespin thing really has got to be one of the strangest situations to ever exist in 1/6 collecting.

Sadly, it's typical Hot Toys.
Bespin Luke 2.0 was also hinted at much earlier and nada yet.
These are perfect examples where Hot Toys fails to sell complimentary figures, at the same time. They would boost sales of the other figure.
Its a mystery, no doubt.

Baze nods in agreement.
Then a Ensor Han 2.0, with thermal detonators......

Why not a Deluxe Endor Han with the Bespin jacket and call it a day!

THIS!!!
There is no rhyme or reason to the way they do stuff these days.
In 2015 it was all ANH and TFA,so that made sense...and then TESB and ROTJ got thrown in with with R1 and PT...So it's all over the place.
I get other licences get in the way,but gee,I'd like a straight line of figures that compliment each other again.
I can definitely see that happening, as they have already released Endor Luke and Leia. But it would be a pass for me. Bespin Han is the one I'm waiting for. We have Hoth and Bespin Leia waiting and Bespin Lando in the wings. Hoping it will be another 2-pack with an updated Chewie. (A man can dream...)
Pants were different. Plus, Hot Toys wouldn't pass on the chance of selling two different figures.
The belt holster buckle is different as well. I know HT would do both and THEN release a deluxe OT Han with various changes.
Yep, I can definitely see that happening. Similar to the Jedi Luke figures. Had many double-dipping, too.

We?ll get there. Mando is hot at the moment. There aren?t too many outstanding OT essentials.

You could even argue that two of those aren?t essential in Hot Toys? eyes. They?ve already done ROTJ Vader in quarter-scale, and the Biker Scout (albeit slightly different from the OT) in The Mandalorian line. The other three though are all extremely essential pieces. I?d also consider the TIE Fighter Pilot an essential missing OT figure.
