1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: Episode VII - Han & Chewbacca Collectible Figure

[Adam1138]

I got this set in hand yesterday and I am working up the nerve to modify Chewie.
To say I am intimidated would be an understatement, almost tempted to try and buy a second Chewie as a peace-of-mind backup. But I feel the results will be well worth it, if I can pull it off.

There are some custom head sculpts out there for Chewie, but there are PRICEY.

Amazing! Great backdrop as well. Is it the Bandai 3PO back there?

Yes it's the Bandai version.

The closed mouth one on the right is my favourite.

Would love to see HT have another go... Or maybe INART.

Where'd you get those custom heads? Specifically the one on the right?

How much is PRICEY? Like more than $250 a head?

Look up Solo Bones on Facebook. He’s your man.

Speaking for myself, I've never had a single issue with any pleather in my collection. Even my old Sideshow Premium Format Indy still has a perfect 1/4 scale pleather jacket (and he's approaching 20 years old). And I haven't had to use any protectant, etc. for those results. I don't live in a particularly arid or humid climate, so not sure if I've just been extremely lucky, or if this issue is drastically overblown, at least in areas where the climate isn't particularly tailored to the destruction of this material.

The pleather is still holding up pretty good...Touch wood. The only issue is that the shirt has the same copper wire stain that blighted the ANH Solo.
It's an easy fix though with some watered down bleach.

I haven't been so lucky, and i live in a damp cold climate. The suit on my HT ANH Vader started to flake a few months back, as did the jacket on my HT Indy.
I guess 8 or so years was pretty good going for them.

On the plus side both the real leather holsters from the old SS Solo versions still look like new after 15 years.
