ANH Han Solo - Official picture thread

[icruise]

The product summary still has the original listing, though. I'll have to say that I'm very disappointed with how they handled this. I purposely bought the regular to save a few bucks because I didn't really care about getting the Greedo killer, but I certainly did want his iconic blaster.

Well, I must say that the Greedo blaster is still a beautiful piece of work. They both are, really. It broke my heart to have to break mine (I couldn't even do it--my wife did).

And really I wouldn't have cared if only the Greedo blaster fit into the holster properly.

So consider yourself lucky, icruise, that at least your blaster fits in the holster!

Im confused. If the greedo killer is NOW the official blaster he comes with. Wouldnt they send you the same blaster as the replacement?

Yes and yes. From their last email, it seems they're just going to send back the greedo killer that they had made me break. I wrote them back. We'll see what they say.

So I finally opened my Han today. I switched out his hands and went to put the greedo killer in his hands- and the gun is missing the outside grip detail. Anyone else have this problem?

Nope. You had me a bit paranoid for a sec and had to go dig in the box to find it. Both of my blasters look fine.

 

[icruise]

When I was screwing around with the blasters a while ago, one of the grips came off of the Bespin Han blaster. It glued right back on with no problem, but it's a separate piece. Make sure it's not in the box somewhere.

Great, I think i'm missing mine too! And it is too late to look in the packaging for it. This whole greedo exclusive, not exclusive thing has been a mess. At least Cornerstorecomics was nice enough to send me a replacement so that I have both!

Too late? The figure didn't come out that long ago. Do you throw away your boxes? BTW, Monkey Depot has an extra Greedo Blaster if anyone needs it.

 

[hobbitjedi]

I keep my boxes, but the replacement blaster that I got sent to me, the one with the missing grill, I already threw out the envelope that it was sent in. The greedo blaster that came with the figure had the grill, I'm missing the grill on the standard blaster.

So you got the exclusive and the real blaster was missing a part of the grip? So they sent you a replacement? Or you ordered the regular edition, noticed you got the Greedo blaster and CornerStone sent you the standard blaster with a missing grill? I'm lost....

Huh? I'm confused? Can you post pics? To my knowledge, the regular blaster had no grill!?

 

[Qrest Fourstar]

Both guns have grills, but the regular has disc shaped grills and the greedo killer has rectangular grills.

It took me a while to realize it myself. I thought it was just the greedo killer he used.

 

[Brinn 71]

Yes, you are correct. BOTH guns SHOULD have grills, as the real props did, but the Sideshow guns both don't. The ANH regular Han blaster doesn't have the grills. At least, on mine. Rebelscum's doesn't either, it seems:

And the real prop, with the front grill (under the barrel):

And the Sideshow "GREEDO KILLER" 'Exclusive' Blaster:

And the real prop:

I'm wondering if hobbitjedi has a regular blaster WITH the grill. Were some shipped without that part??? Do you have a pic of a regular blaster WITH a grill hobbitjedi?? Did anyone get one with a grill? I just want to clear this up.

THANKS!

 

[thenammagazine]

Greedo killer has it. Regular blaster, no. And it's really not that big of an issue to me anyway.

Well hobbitjedi mentioned a 'missing grill' so I just wanted to make sure I shouldn't contact Sideshow for a piece I may or may not be missing.

If you have the Greedo Killer and it has a grill, you're fine. The regular blaster doesn't have one. This can be verified by the pics on Sideshow's website.

 

[hobbitjedi]

Exactly, thanks guys you beat me to it!
They should both have grills, but only the Greedo Killer has it, the other doesn't. It is a pretty recognizable feature on the blaster so it should have been there. They have been very accurate so far in the accessories. Wonder why it is on the Greedo Killer and not on the regular one tho?

Its because there exists pics of the HERO ANH blaster, before they added the grill. Too bad they used that for reference. Ah well. I hoped that maybe I got a version without the grill but that a version WITH the grill DID exist. I guess I could scratch build one.

Or wait for another ANH Han Solo to be kitted out on any of the numerous 1:6 retailers like Monkey Depot and pick up the Greedo Killer, remove the grill, cut it down and add it to your normal blaster. As a matter of fact, they still have one listed: (here)
