Donald Glover is literally everywhere. He's the star and creator of FX's Atlanta. He helped director Ryan Coogler with script edits for Black Panther, and he is the coolest black man in Star Wars, Lando Calrissian.
Now, the creative polymath's likeness has been transformed into an action figure. He is also a LEGO piece that is part of the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon set that features 1,414 pieces and costs $169.99.

The Star Wars actor made history by becoming the first black director to win an Emmy, but the fact that he is Lando and an action figure may change kids lives.
Glover once said that his first Star Wars toy was Lando. “That was the very first,” he said. “I remember it like yesterday. My dad gave it to me. I had a Darth Vader one, too.”
Twitter was set ablaze by the news and anticipates the day the figures come available.
My heart stopped when I heard DG was playing Lando in the new movie. So this action figure is EVERYTHING. Seriously, what even is a "Hans"? I'm here for Calrissian: A Star Wars Story. https://t.co/8d8sUL6rIj
