Why does it look like he's smiling?

She’ll go great with that Bespin Han that we got shortly after his tease with the other Bespin Leia! Oh wait…
Yeah the open mouth really doesn't work as well without that snarl he usually has. Looks more like he's laughing or something.

Hot Toys has just been relentless with announcements lately. Definitely getting this set.

Oof.. Sideshow already has it up. $430. I’ll be getting it somewhere else for hopefully a bit less.

Says he's 36 cm tall. I looked at the listing for the original release and he was also said to be 36 cm.
The original doesn't appear short (I need to get the tape measure out), but 36 cm / 14.17" is only 7' 1.
Chewbacca's height is recorded as 7' 6" (Peter Mayhew was 7' 3" at peak).

I'm actually glad they got rid of the giant base, because they usually waste a lot of space, unless there's something or a smaller character to occupy the space in front.
Granted, Chewbacca was pushed forwards on his to accommodate the stairs - but having someone standing on the stairs would be precarious without support.
However, I don't like their new podium style of bases either, but at least it's smaller. But as you wrote, it's too small:
I prefer their rectangular bases.
If I were to get this, 3PO would stay in the box and that's a lot money to not have on display. Chewie does look great though.
I think I'll wait till they reuse him as an ANH 50th.

Hmm, the last Chewy I bought (I have three) I paid $200 on ebay - and its my best one. That was 4 years ago (maybe 5) - five years after release - so I'm surprised they've gone higher. I think they were about $250 list price, but it was announced a full decade ago.So it’s official! And there goes the value of my ANH version
I haven't done an ebay search since then so had no idea. In my memory HT Chewy just never seemed to get people hugely excited.

I was planning to get 2 Chewies so I wanted a C-3PO but was also hoping that there was a standard option (w/out C-3PO).
Need a spare Chewie to cram into the Millennium Falcon cockpit (JazzInc).

Excellent. I have not made up mind to pull the trigger on that golden C-3PO yet.
This is literally how I'm going to display both ESB chewy and OT C-3PO in one take

Crazy to think that the original ANH Han and Chewie 2pack set was only $480 and this is $430 just for Chewie.

I’m not liking these weird podium bases.
