Toy Review · Purchased November 11, 2022 · $150.00 CAD via Jooooooy.com
The Setup
My first purchase from Jooooooy rather than Lightake, but the same general product category — MOC-94303 is a 1,717-piece, wall-mountable brick recreation of Han Solo frozen in carbonite from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, in the same “mega figure” bootleg family as the earlier Star Wars busts.
The Review
Design-wise, this is a genuinely good idea — the flat carbonite slab format lends itself naturally to a brick build in a way that a rounded helmet bust doesn’t, and the finished piece reads unmistakably as the scene the moment you see it. Han’s frozen expression and posture come through clearly at this scale, and it mounts to a wall just as easily as the trash compactor diorama earlier in the year.
Unfortunately, this is the one purchase in the bootleg-bust line where quality control actually became a real problem rather than a minor cosmetic quibble — my kit arrived missing several dozen pieces, which meant a frustrating stretch of comparing the manual against what actually showed up before I could even start building properly. It got there in the end, and the finished piece looks good, but it’s a genuine mark against Jooooooy specifically compared to the cleaner experience I’d had with Lightake’s busts earlier in the year.
What I Liked
- Flat carbonite slab format is a natural fit for a brick build
- Unmistakably reads as the scene at a glance
- Wall-mountable, same as the official Death Star Trash Compactor diorama
What I Didn’t
- Arrived with dozens of pieces missing from the kit
- PDF-only instructions, no printed manual
- Noticeably worse quality control than Lightake’s busts earlier this year
The Verdict
Rating: 2.5/5
A genuinely clever design let down by a real quality-control miss — the finished piece looks great, but getting there was more frustrating than it should have been.
