Chris, do you have some pictures?  Was this on Kenner or Palitoy cards?

I can't check my Kenner Canada cards for you, because they never did a Han Hoth on a ROTJ card. Only converted ESB to Tranny cards.

I would guess that Hoth Battle Gear sounded more "Manly" then Hoth Outfit What a Face

Hoth Outfit may have made kids think they needed to find a matching purse and shoes to complete the set ... made out of genuine Tauntaun fur and leather of course cheeky

Just depends on how manly your feeling Wink

Speaking of your Hoth Han focus - did you ever get your Halloween Pumpkin prizes scratch
