ANH Han Solo - Official picture thread

[Brinn 71]

Brinn, that's the Hasbro Chewie with a little reworking done to him correct? I have to say that it is a really good looking Chewie with the work you must've put into him.

THANKS!

Yes, that is 2 Hasbro Chewies overhauled. I wrote about him here: https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18043

With my Hasbro overhauled 3p0 and a British 'Soakie' R2. He's about the only properly scaled 1/6 R2 out there, but thanks to my son and my laziness, I'm going to wait and see what Sideshow does for R2. I was going to overhaul this one but.....

Bump! I love this pic. Biggest laugh I had all week. Thank you.

Sideshow RULES! I contacted them about the cut in my Han's nose and they are sending a replacement. I had to take a hammer to Han though, so I thought I'd have fun. This IS the Official Picture Thread, after all!

Say what you want about the buck, but MAN they are sturdy. I had to wail on the thing, and it still took some work. Ah well...off to the recycler with it!

It's hilarious! Especially if you only look at the left (Leia and Luke) and add this caption: "I'm your sister!??"

I've never heard of them asking someone to break up a 1/6 scale figure before. Good picture though.

I once had to break a buck body in half at the waist and it was HARD! I can't imaging trying to chop him up like you did.

I KNOW! They are REALLY sturdy! I took a hit to the leg when some shrapnel got me. Don't hammer a Buck whilst wearing shorts!

Now let the innuendos begin.....

I'm glad you all like the pic. It was fun!

Wow, the Buck body is made of the strongest plastic that I have ever encountered. Even dremeling it takes a lot of work (smelly too). The plastic is a much higher grade than what Hot Toys uses. Hopefully their Prometheus continues the trend. That is very impressive that you could break it into so many pieces! Did you use a mallet?

 

[Brinn 71]

Did you use a mallet?

Just my HAMMER of justice! It took a while too.

Sideshow CS !!!!!

I mailed and asked SS if my Han Solo and Luke Skywalker orders where shipping together because the shipping charges for Luke were abit lower then Han Solo. Later that same day i got a tracking number for Han Solo (will be here Monday). So i just figured i get a mail saying "...order # ??????? was shipped on....." but insted i got this...

"Thank you for your email. I would like to confirm with you that your order T****** was NOT combined with T******. These two orders were processed and shipped separately. That being said, your Han Solo was charged $52.46 for shipping and your Luke was charged $38.84. The reason for the discrepancy in shipping costs is due to the fact that we have been able to decrease shipping rates in your area. Unfortunately these changes were not made until after your Han Solo was processed and shipped.

We would like to offer you a refund of the difference in shipping rates since these items were shipped so closely together. This refund will be a total of $13.62 which will be put back on your card ending in **** with an expiration date of **/**. If you would like to accept this refund please reply directly to this email."

Again, they

 

[barryo]

yep, just another reason why sideshow rocks.

 

[Darth Cruel]

"Yes, I'll bet you have."

 

[barryo]

han:...............check please !!!!!

[Darth Cruel]

Thanks barryo...I am loking forward to taking that shot with Greedo.

 

[arnax161]

[arnax161]

That Chewbacca looks great as well...

 

[Darth Cruel]

Yep. Medi Boba. Great figure!

This is why we need a furred Chewbacca. Who cares if he comes out of the factory poofy. We can style his hair. It's called futzing!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Got my belt for Han today. It's a small improvement but I like it.


Gratuitous crotch shot...



And here's a side by side of my Han and Deak Starkiller's Han that I'll be repainting for him.

 

[JustinLuck]

One thing that bothers me is the low pant inseam on both ANH and Bespin Han. Does this bother any of you guys?

 

[Memnoch]

Hmm I sorta like the dark brown one more than the light brown one I have. Might be time to go a shopping again.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

WOW! The eyes after the repaint are immeasurably better! The difference between the dead stare of a doll and something that looks quite human... Congratulations!
