WOW! They actually made another! That's crazy... but I'm curious to see more.

It will be announced when RotJ Han ships. It’s momentum

They have patterns, saw 89’ Keaton 2.0, immediately knew Returns 2.0 was in development and would be announced after they begin getting the 89’ out. Will happen here.

Talked to Howard......"COMING SOON"

Finally, a Chewie that bests the original.

Grievous and NuChew are certain POs for me.

This looks pretty good; I'd like to see more photos and the price, but this could be a PO of another HT at long last. Having C-3PO is a nice bonus. I'd hope too to have the bowcaster, with this billed as a more general ESB Chewie rather than Cloud City Chewie or whatever.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but notice no figure stand... Does this mean that A) they just balance him because its a show display or B) they're doing the magnetic stands? Seems it'd be hard to balance with 3PO on his back...

This looks good, not great though, I don't think its an improvement over the ANH version.

Having the ANH myself, I'm glad I don't feel the need to upgrade, and I'm glad people who don't have a Chewy now have the chance to get one

Nice! I can sell ANH two pack for ridiculous amounts now that we have a new Chewie and Han

This looks to have much better coloring than my smoky dark ANH version.

I will happily upgrade -- use this for an ANH Chewbacca, and use the old ANH version with 3PO (since I have to turn Chewie around anyway)

Turn around, you woolly!

I’ve given up on expecting HT to really capture how accurate and faithful certain figures are to the source. This is one of those cases where it doesn’t look good as it should, but nothing will be done about it… Regardless, I’d still be happy with it.

Are they mostly putting down Jar Jar? Or is there actual excitement getting the figure in that thread?

This looks great. May have to preorder when I see what all he comes with.

He comes with 3PO and a bowcaster. That's quite a lot for a wholly furred and very tall character.

Is the difference you're looking for like a hydrospanner? Would that close the sale?

Now that I am home and can compare these pics to the ANH Chewie, this does look like a nice step up over the original.

No. I’m looking for a Bespin Han accessory. Fully posable that doesn’t get angry and break a Han Solo figure when you mention Star Wars.
