Arguably the most interesting new feature of the new Carbonite mould is the ability to store the Han Solo minifigure in the back of it, by having him hold onto the protruding spokes. The minifigure design on the Carbonite mould also features the same print as the new Han Solo. The new design features an entirely new mould with the shape of a minifigure frozen into it, just as in the movie. The older version of this "minifgure" was simply a design printed on a large brick. Also included is a new Han Solo in Carbonite mould. Han Solo is seen with a new torso, redesigned to look more accurate to when Han was released from his Carbonite trap. Bossk features a completely new mould, also coloured in the sand green of Boba's armour, in a soft rubber, similar to Yoda's Clone Wars head from the set 8018. His new head features the style of a Clone Trooper, but with a small beard and different mouth expression. Boba actually in this set, features an actual head, instead of his previous head, which was black to make the black markings on his helmet. The cape is designed to look like it has been worn and ripped, and the jetpack is recoloured in sand green to match the rest of Boba Fett's armour. He also has a standard blaster with a small grey pin attached to the end of it, a new cape, and the jetpack from the Clones in 7748. Included in the set is a bag of grey ARC gear, giving Boba the grey antenna for his helmet. His helmet's mould is used by the Mandalorians from the 20 Mandalorian Battle Pack. Boba Fett features a completely redesigned helmet with detailed print and more accurate form factor. Unlike many other sets released in recent years, three of the four minifigures included in this set are exclusive to this version. The door can then be closed, covering the compartment. Because the ship is built in System scale, the cargo hold is only large enough to fit the new Carbonite Han Solo. On both sides, slightly in front of the rear cargo hold are two small supply cabinets, similar to the ones found above the troop bay in the 2008 Republic Attack Gunship.At the very back of the ship, at the bottom under the top structure, is an opening door which allows access to the cargo hold. Directly behind the back doors are the main blasters, which also rotate independently from each other. These can be pulled out of the compartment, while still being attached, and feature a single, rotatable missile. Towards the back upper half of the ship are two more opening doors on either side, both of which can open to reveal one more flick-fire missile, though these ones must be manually "flicked". These are released through an opening hatch at the top of the ship directly behind the cockpit, which has no floor. Behind the pilot's seat it the set's main defence system, a mechanism for launching four flick-fire missiles, without the need to flick them. Underneath the windshield is the cockpit, which features a pilot's seat and controls for piloting the ship. A small sticker is placed on the back of the top left of the windshield, as per the instructions, featuring a small Mandalorian symbol. There is a large, removable windshield which consumes most of the front of the ship. Along the lines of the rotating wings is the interesting design of the ship, giving it the ability to land flat on the bottom, but take off and fly at a 90 degree angle with the base pointing outwards. When the ship is picked up, or placed in a sort of "flight mode", the wings rotate to keep level with the ground as much as possible. One of the most notable features of the Slave I is the fact that the wings rotate with gravity. Although this is another complete redesign of the Slave I, the model carries over many of the features from the most recent previous release of the set, the 2006 6209 Slave I.
