Now we just need a snow covered Hoth Chewy and Blue.. er… I mean… brown coat Hoth Han Solo two pack.
 
I really hope this goes up for PO.

I’ll finally be able to recreate the Escape from Cloud City scenes! My Leia needs her partner.

If this goes up for PO one of my ANH Chewies will probably get a snow day. :lol

Snow-covered is such an iconic look for Chewie (oddly, one of the most memorable images from Hoth) but you'd want to go carefully as snow is so easy to make look bad in 1/6. Going to use my custom Taun as a testing ground for snow effects now that my other biggie the Dewback is finished.
 
What ever happened to that HT Dewback?
It's still coming as far as I know. It's just a bit more of a Mando Dewback look to me (despite the headsculpt tweak etc) and I wanted a somewhat stricter ANH/1976/Fred Pearl version, so made one.

I'm still mulling the HT version to place that updated more chrome Mando on it.
 
Keep Mando away from my Dewback.

I want to see your Dewback. Did you get one of those custom Taun Tauns?


plug for thread: I wonder what Chewbacca would look like riding a dewback or taun taun?
 
Head looks to be a decent improvement over the ANH Chewie, but not a massive leap forward - zoomed in, the face still looks a bit funky (a bit doggy), but at least it's a step up over the ANH version rather than a noticeable step down like the awful TFA version was.

Will be interesting to see any proto vs production drop with so much applied fur in the mix on the face.

Excited to see if this is a new full 3PO that's ESB style or if its just a "solid" backpack 3PO accessory (that can't be assembled) with limited articulation.

And does this mean a run of ESB figs, or is it a one-off?
No way is that an improvement on ANH head sculpt….looks like Chewy has eaten a few too many burgers….proportions way off…
 
Would love a non-backpack version. Hot Toys have become sooooo expensive I'm pretty much priced out. I'd make an exception for a cheaper version of this!
