There’s a thread here also just for Chewie mods as well, try looking there too

Amazing thread - that’s where I got the idea to mod mine. Looked to be a pretty simple fix. Which it was...Little time and patience. Which made Chewie look like Chewie. Got to say I’m an older collector (49) and getting this set and seeing Han and Chewie together made me feel like I did back in Christmas of 78 when I got my first Star Wars Figures. Some pieces just bring the nostalgia and the magic.

Nice pics.
Unpopular opinion: Han should have had a double jointed neck. Without it he's too stiff and unnatural, especially for a character that emotes with body language. There's something about this figure that doesn't hit home with me, and it's not the quality of the sculpt; he's just strangely so static and oddly proportioned.
I think I would generally agree with you on the proportions.....he does always look off....... in the leather jacket. His neck is too long, shoulders too low, shoulders too broad and square.
BUT......the blue coat fixes all of the proportion issues. The figure looks fantastic when wearing the coat. Whenever I display him in the jacket, futz as hard as I can, he's always an odd shape. Always end up with him back in the coat, then he looks great again. I think he was made to wear that coat!
I sold everything that I had owned relating to the "new trilogy" as l pretty much can't stand them (they were not made for me), but I'm a huge Harrison fan so, try as I might, I just can't bring myself to sell this one. In a house full of Star Wars merchandise, this is my only possession relating to Disney Star Wars. Guess that is a solid testament to its overall quality......or possibly just my Harrison Ford fanboy status!
It was $520 new. Value of Chewie didn't hold up too much but Han is a solid figure and probably sells for retail. Maybe $425 price for set is fair?
