wut?
There it is. I have both hoth figures and they are crap in my opinion. The soft rubber on the hats, hands arm banding and boots are just bad and look hasbro cheap. The boots are flimsy and both of the bodies suck compared to a true type for proportions. My Luke is taller than Han stock which was a miss. The pants on both of mine are threading out from poor stitching.
Both head sculpts look like tropical Han and Luke from Team America, they are terrible. The eye system was a major fail and just like Nathan Drake these two look like they melted in the moulds. Luke's vest is too small with the body and Han includes a ****** pirate shirt and vest that bulks him out. His belt is flimsy with non-stick velcro clasps and the leg holster strap is three times too big for the figure and droops.
Under no framing of a discussion could these two hold a candle to anything HT has pumped out for the OT figures right now. Sorry just do not see it and I love, love,love the Hoth scenes as well. Now this tauntaun, the Probe Droid, ham handed snowtroopers and e-web cannon are a different story. Great pieces.
The only redeeming pieces of the Hoth Han is the coat, blaster and the goggles. The rest is ****. For Luke, although it is the wrong color the vest is ok on a body swap, his goggles and blaster is ok. I guess if you want to throw in the scarves they are salvageable, while not part of the figure the life form scanner and reused binocs are good accessories.
Just ordered my SS tauntaun. Another one gone from BBTS! No tax and shipped for $362.49
Don't be a bill hater.
Congrats! Be sure to use that scarf and goggles to bundle up that headsculpt and it will be an awesome display.

I was not being a hater. I am posting my opinion of the figure and there is nothing wrong with it. I am posting inaccuracies I feel make the figure less than what I expected.
That's what this forum is for, to help share information and at the end of the day give others insight to adding pieces to the collection. I do not feel this is a strong piece, you disagree. I do think there is some purchase justification for anyone to say this figure is in the same class as any of HT releases. Sorry I do not buy it. You have very polite friends/family that are not going to tell you what they really think.
My friends giggle like hell when they see that headsculpt and we laugh about team america for 5 minutes every time.
Again its an opinion, don't need to get upset when people offer critiques. Bottom line, if this figure was so great it would not still be available at discount and would command a premium. It obviously is not that sought after because of the abundant weaknesses and what needs to be fixed on it look good on the shelf.
Not arguing, just trying to put my statements in context.
Nice. If I get this right now I may be eating ramen for the rest of my life cause the wife may kick me out! LOL No but seriously I just got 4 more detolfs to add to the already 8 I have. Plus in the last few months I've gotten:
AOU Hulk
Mark III die cast
DOFP Wolverine
Electro
Jango
Luke Stormtrooper
Old Ben
Han & Chewy
Vader
Sandtrooper
Luke Farmboy
May have to wait a few more weeks before I drop a bomb like "Hey honey. I know I just spent thousands of dollars on myself so what's another $350 right?"
She'd never kick me out but I just don't want her to start thinking about it.
