That's beautiful, man. Nice pose.

Mine is just a custom, but I got a really great metallic effect in it. So if anyone needs to give their version a bit more I can very much recommend this type of paint to and overall feel and highlights.

Inspired by this custom version from a client of mine, I am hoping they do the pre-Carbonite Han Solo:

I appreciate the offer but i honestly dont want to spend $250.00 on this piece, maybe i'll wait till i get to $100.00 reward points.
 
So I just received this piece today and there is some paint missing from its nose and lip..and a few other areas. It's funny cause the styrofoam container wasn't tampered with (so still sealed), but the baggie that Han is in was opened. Definitely wasn't a returned item I'm sure..so I don't know how common the paint chipping issue is. Looks like someone at the factory noticed it and opened up the baggie, then were instructed to leave it alone.
Now I'll just have to figure out what color of metallic silver paint will match it. I'm guessing a gunmetal silver.
 
Block is only supposed to be 6'-8" tall in total (and HF was supposedly 6' to 6'-1",) so it's probably close.

The other issue is the body they cast for the body-shape wasn't HF's so could have been shorter.
From the official Lucas film measurements, the block is suppose to be 84" tall (7'). So this piece is just slightly taller than it should be. Measuring Han, I was thinking it was a bit undersized..but totally forgot about how it was another guy's body that was cast. What really blew me away is how heavy the Carbonite block is. The impression I got from reviewers and other collectors was that it felt a bit too light and slightly cheap. To me, it's more like polystone; not plastic-like or hollow feeling at all.
 
I sort of want to grab this but I still don’t know if I feel it’s worth the retail price. Sideshow just got it back in stock recently so seems like it could be one of those figures that gets multiple runs.
 
I’m in the same boat. Want it, but hoping for the eventual ht version, which doesn’t seem likely now with the slowdown. It looks great but I may wait for a good coupon or sale.
