One problem would be, what body? Do they use a base body or develop a new one, and what works best to disguise the joint areas.
The PotA fur is the first thing that springs to mind, and making that fur, dyed to an elaborate pattern, and resembling all the varying textures of the fur, from flaxin to waxin to ratty, and not make it look like carpet, is certainly something to look forward to. Wow.

Most likely has to do with the type of collectors. Statue collectors (who buy PFs) don't want to pose and play with the pieces. They want to take them out of the box and put them on the shelf. Imagine what a furry PF Chewie would look like coming out of the box?
Whereas the 1/6 collector is used to putting together the figure and messing with it to pose it just right. They'll be more patient to get the fur looking just right.

Or, going by Medicom's clock, never.
Who the ____ cares about Medicom? Welcome to 2006!

Totally agree!
Maybe no body.Perhaps a covered articulated armature ala 1933 King Kong.

A new body is probably imperative. Vader's might have the bulk, but I have never got him naked, so I'm not sure.
I had it in mind that separate sections of fur on each segment might have a smoother effect than a full suit. It'll be interesting to see how much ingenuity they can pull out of their ears to achieve this.

Are you on the square?
I wonder about that as well. GG's 1/6 Chewie statue is sculpted and looks good. I don't know what that would look like in 1/4 scale.

Is "eventually" here yet?
There seems to be a distinct lack of knowledge of the production management process around here. If they approach it right and proceed with any diligence Sideshow can absolutely pull off a great furry 1:6 Chewbacca in mass quantities.

Not a big Star Wars fan, but this would be a must-buy for me to pose with my Han Solo. Fantastic news.

Has he shipped yet?
If Sideshow keep to thier quality and can do it correctly for the run, this should be a awesome figure. I can see getting 2 to mod one into another Wookie.

Great news!!
I really hope HT is involved in this somehow...
Though I don't expect to see this until late 2011 if we're lucky...
But regardless!!!
