Han looks ok. But Luke looks more like that golden ape from Planet of the Apes.:google

Whatever.

Unless HT has the SW license, I'm not gonna get their human face sculpted figs.
 
Geez, I was going to pass on these, but with the new headsculpts, I'll have to start saving up now!

I'll probobly get flamed for thei,s, but the more I look at these, the less I like them. I just really dislike scene specific expressions. Jedi luke being a prime example. They're ok, and I'm going to order tehm... just not sure If I'll keep the pre-order or not. Posed eyes can be fixed with a repaint... specific expressions.... well. If done right, it's ok, ( medi-maul being a good example of a subtle expression) Han's smirk ... well. it works for the character, but I'm not going to pick up extras for my ANH figures now. However, With the little pic, to me, the both look like chewwie just let one rip. I'm HOPEING that when we get to see more detail they look better.
worst case scenario, they get swapped otut for the heads that come on the buck body.
Doubt I'll do that, but it's an option.
Personaly, I'd hope they'd do like hot toys did with cannabal jack. One EXTREME expression, and one subtle expression.



It said Star Wars tease the 7th. What's that, next Thursday?

Yeah, May 7th... with next week's Newsletter. But it's just a "tease" so it won't show the full figures. We likely won't see them until PPO day.

I'd think a TEASE is like what we've already gotten. the little pic. Showing us the figure in advance is a preview , not a tease. a tease is like when your girl decide to bend just right and let the smalles amount of her upper thigh show from the bottom her skirt. enough to get an idea, but not enough to give the whole thing away.

No, I think the Tease will be an entirely new product. Much like the Vader tease before SDCC last yer. remember the video? With anakin in the front, and a completely shadowed vader behind him? "this is no jedi mind trick" etc?
 
The more I look at Han, the more I see Han from ESB, especially the scene where no one knows where Luke is on Hoth and he's talking to the Deck Officer. If it looks good I might get another and swap heads with my Bespin Han.
 
I don't know, I think they look a little Weird pic might be to small to tell.

Han looks like Curly

Like a lot of you, I was all set to pass, thinking these would just be the same sculpts as the ANH figures, but these look really good! Fortunately, my birthday is in July...so guess what my birthday present will be this year??? Last year it was Hasbro's BMF, this year these guys...that's two great birthdays in a row (which is always nice when you are getting on in years)
 
I was pleasantly surprised to see that SS captured Harrison's signature smirk in the 1/6th scale figure just as good as the Indy premium format.
 
Luke looks like the Dragon from that movie where a dragon fought along side a human. I can't remember the name at all.
 
As for the Han expression are they not going for the look when he said 'better him than me' in the Death star control area? That's what I immediately thought of when I say the expression.

Well a tease for an entirely new product would be exciting.

You know, I think the expressions work. If you think about it, they really weren't organized, and were pretty much confused and in doubt about what the hell they were doing:lol! My favorite scene out of all the Star Wars movies is the ANH Princess Rescue. I never tire of watching that part. It's got great action and is comical as well.
 
With a little customization, I think the 'smirking Han' sculpt will make for a GREAT upgrade to the Bespin Han figure! :rock

They shouldn't have posted a pic at all. I can't beleive so many are jumping on the NEW sculpts for exclusive figures on a tiny pic.

As for scene specific expressions - I don't mind that at all, especially when the costumes are scene specific too.

Luke seems to be saying "Hi, I'm Luke Skywalker and I'm here to rescue you." and Han just shot the communicator.
