ANH Han Solo - Official picture thread

[Khev]

Here's some shots of mine. The paint job is not SS best work be far but like always it's much better in person.

Cool shot!

In that shot the paint actually looks like the proto pics, IMO. I think the Buck is the worst thing about this figure. I bet they made his shirt puffy to fill out his arms.

 

[dharper]

Thanks. I think he looks like the Proto pics too. His stare really isn't that bad. You just need to turn his head a little.

Man..way to many critics here...you guys make the guy from Hells Kitchen look like a saint with all your 'wisdom'...But we all know opinions are like...

Han looks great...keep it up SS....

 

[Matt S]

Thanks for the new pics, everyone. Looks pretty darn good - eyebrows scare me a bit, but pretty close to the proto!

 

[IrishJedi]

Great pic. The best this figure has looked so far, including the prototype.

 

[dharper]

A few close ups with very little light.

 

[jedibear]

VERY nice, dharper!

 

[icruise]

The eyes (and hair color) really seem to be the weak point for me.

This man NEEDS a NEW BODY.

 

[MaulFan]

Not exactly.

I have always preferred the sculpted neck. If Sideshow had found a way to keep the sculpted neck while making the head easier to swap, I would have been all for it. Also, the limited articulation in the neck isn't the sculpted neck's fault. It is the spring contraption used in the buck body.

With the neck adapter the way it is now, all we see is a generic neck post. Instead of the generic outer neck sleeve, I would like to see them sculpt the neck for each portrait and slip that on the inner adapter piece. Nothing would go over the base plastic. Instead the outer shell of the neck would be the sculpted neck. Does that make sense?

Makes sense, but, it's not just the Buck where the neck doesn't offer the best articulation when sculpted, even on Hot Toys, it's limited compared to a separate neck and head setup. For some characters, that's my preference, more range and options.

This shot is fantastic. Looks great Wor-Gar. Between yours and what MF will put up, makes the figure look superb and is why I don't even waste the forum space around here with my shots anymore....you guys do a great job.

Good luck with the move...

You are too harsh on yourself dude, everyone enjoys your outdoor shots, including myself, and you're fortunate to have such nice outdoor locations to shoot your stuff, and your painting backdrops work wonderfully for the figures you choose them for too. So keep posting images, it's like a piece of the puzzle is missing when your contributions aren't there.

 

[galactiboy]

He really looks great in a display... looks like a great figure to me.

 

[Anzik]

I hate to sound like a jerk but I'm sort of glad there is so much unhappiness with this figure. I should be able to pick one up on ebay at a price I can afford.

 

[Indiana Fett]

What's with the different pocket set-up on the top of the vest? Didn't Han have matching top pockets in ANH? This is the first I'm noticing of this oddity in the vest design.

 

[Prime Clone]

I'm loving what I'm seeing, though Old Ben's position is safe. Han looks like a very good artist's impression of Ford, but Old Ben looks like it's the real Alec Guinness after he was hit by The Master's shrink ray.

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Hoping to help those in concern.

OK, now I'm really screwed. These pics look very good (possibly because the shadow obscures some of the harshness of the eyebrow paint app), but now I can see Trevors scultp coming through. I swear I couldn't from some of the early stuff.

Now the question is do I spend $70 on the figure and anothe $100 to have it repainted properly so that Trevors work is not hidden but enhanced. Urgh! Darn you Sideshow... darn you all to Heck!

I don't do the outdoor shots any more because like kitchen, doilies, et al, those are specific to a person. I decided to do the improbable dejarik matches for my motif because your outdoor shots are the best. So don't quit on us.

Edit - I need a Greedo to do Han. Sideshow needs to step up to the plate on that.

 

[wookielovin]

wow han looks like a deer in the headlights!

$100 repaint? Whos charging that for repaints?

 

[Kuzeh]

$100 repaint? Whos charging that for repaints?

Yeah no kidding!! It's usually around $50.00 isn't it?
It kind of sucks, i mean, I'll be keeping him because it looks great compared to ESB Han, but if Medi looks better in hand...we'll have to wait and see.

Great pictures guys! Thanks for sharing!!
