The 'small head' Han Solo was one of the earliest first 12 figures produced by Kenner. But this variant had a relatively short production run, before kenner changed the head sculpt. Apparently Harrison ford didn't like the original sculpt.

The white moulded legs variant of 'small head' Han Solo, was the earliest produced version of this figure. When Kenner first started production. All of the first 12 SW figures were manufactured with their arms and legs moulded in the same coloured plastic, In Hans case, it was white moulded plastic. Having all the limbs moulded in the same colour, on the same sprue tree. Was a cheaper and more efficient form of production. Then spray painting the limbs to match the torso. But they quickly changed this production method for Han, to black moulded legs and white moulded arms. This was most likely due to the fact that the paint on the legs quickly rubbed off. So moulding the legs in black plastic, gave the toy more durability.
Because Han Solo, 'small head' variation, had a very short production run. Before Kenner changed the head sculpt, combined with the fact that they quickly changed manufacture from white moulded, to black moulded legs. Makes this particular (and first ever) SW variant, a bit harder to find.

[snippet SNIPPET-NAME="NOTE"]This is the alternate, larger head sculpt. That Kenner switched to, after a relatively short production run of the earlier smaller head sculpt. This head sculpt is also the same one used by PBP (Spain) and Glasslite (Brazil) In their production of this figure.[/snippet]
