1/6 Hot Toys - Episode VI: Return of the Jedi -Han Solo

[davejames]

I'm in shock. Day one pre-order and the only time I would have done that recently is with InArt Aragorn. Would have done that with HT's DOD Ford figure but it took months to go up for pre-order at Sideshow.

Shirt color needs tweaking, and definitely the hair, the forehead might be a tad tall but really they just need to solve the hair for me. I guess I'm keeping my other Endor figures!

I think a bit of drybrushing to lighten up the hair would probably help, similar to how Gentle Giant did it on their bust. HT is always making their hair too dark for some reason.

Preordered. This will sell out fast.

Who is this? Why is he Han Solo instead of Harrison Ford?

 

[Warthog81]

Great to see this. I would imagine they will do a Bespin Han sometime, but after this is out and also a new Ep 4 Han. I wish I could have them all right now, even getting this is going to take well into 2025.

Pre ordered as well … next year release date…oh well

If you want boots, DiD has released real leather boots. I got a few pairs from Timewalker.

Thanks. I've seen those, but I don't like the way they end up looking on the figure based on the pics I've seen of collectors who have done the same. The feet tend to seem a little small and they don't appear to be tall enough to come up just below the knee like the HT ones do

Kind of tempted to just buy this and then pick up a Bespin jacket whenever they get around to it in 2-3 years.

Facebook put a block on the following image because they said it was...

Oddly enough, even sideshow didn't put this photo of the updated hand sculpts in their gallery from what I saw.

With custom artist making their own, more detailed hands, HT finally decided to update their stock hands to be more realistic finally as well. I wonder if the detail in the fingernail paint apps will make it through to production?

The SS Hoth Han has the blue jacket under the winter coat doesn’t it? Hmmm, might have an easy mod on my hands.
Hopefully this means a Raiders or Doom Indy is on the cards too.

Thanks for the link, got a Thank You coupon a few days ago too. Perfect timing.

Looks great! I don't love the pedestal base, makes no sense unless that was a Ford requirement or something. It'll stand above every other Endor figure.

 

[RandomHero]

I don't know, at one point didn't HT have like 3-4 Lukes outstanding?

I think they had Snowspeeder Pilot Luke and Mando Jedi Luke up at the same time but I believe that was it. And that was understandable as those were completely different looks.

 

[chrisstbh]

$290? Price creep continues... $5-10 at a time...

 

[fantasticfrog]

My biggest fear is we get an artisan Chewie that is limited. I could live without an upgraded Anakin...I can't live without an upgraded Chewie...

They couldn’t be that dumb, oh wait…

But didn't ROTJ Jedi Luke just drop and then there was Endor Luke as well.

In a 3-4 year period (keep in mind 2 year wait for delivery) didn't we have (not in order):
ROTJ Luke
Endor Luke
Mando Luke
Snowspeeder Luke

ROTJ Luke and Mando Luke weren’t on order at the same time. I know because I bought both and hated myself for it. The ROTJ Luke was just too inferior to the Mando one.

I forgot about Endor Luke. That might have been up with the other two, you might be right. So maybe my logic does go out the window then. I just wouldn’t put it past Hot Toys to try and maximize on sales here.

Happy to see our collective of freaks to finally receive a nice Solo from our beloved Original Trilogy. It’s been a while since I last got a rendition of Ford, last was the Trooper Exclusive.

Oh yes, Endor Luke. A superior release. Of course I bought ROTJ Luke a month before they revealed and launched the new rendition. Oh well, I have both!
