Hot Toys Millenium Falcon Cockpit

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Here are a few more shots. I know, sequel based but, with most other owners going for "Original Trilogy" or "Solo", i thought it would be a nice angle. And besides, while i'm applying a new lick of paint in the living room, a good chunk of my 1/6 collection is back into storage for a few weeks.

Thankyou for these pics Tee Kay.
This scene was a heart wrencher,just like the scene with Leia on Crait,the scene on the MF with the dice, and then a few moments later with R2.
If you have Kylo Ren,id love to see a pic of him in the MF cockpit ala the deleted scene from TLJ!!

The cockpit looks amazing all lit up.

I never understood why they focused so intensely on those dice in the ST, and why it was this huge final moment thing between Luke and Leia. They appear in just ONE scene as an inside film crew joke and never appear again in the entire rest of the OT.

The OT characters never even notice them in that single scene, let alone mention them in any way, so the audience is never made aware of them other than through much later fan easter eggs. Yet they become this huge "remembering Han" moment.

 

[Tee-Kay]

I guess Lucasfilm/Disney bet on "Solo" to be a huge success and use this to link both eras showing how important those dices were to Han . Unfortunately, "Solo" did not meet expectations and it certainly didn't help selling the whole nostalgic effect of those on Luke or Leia in TLJ.

Nevertheless, dices aside, having Luke enter the cockpit alone was good enough for me. It brought me right back to that "Traveling thru hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy" moment.

May have enough time in my hands tomorrow to snap a couple shots of Ren in the cockpit.

Here are a few more shots as requested. So many possibilities and so little time in my hands to try them all.

Deleted scene!

 

[Tee-Kay]

Yep. Some of the best stuff lies on the editing room floor... or, in that instance, in the computer recycle bin.

Deleted scene!

For OT mega fanboy/cosplayer Kylo, a visit to the MF cockpit - especially with Hoth right outside - would have been like a trip to Disneyland.

He would definitely have bought melty Vader helmet and Falcon dice souvenirs in the gift shop on the way out.

Justin's review is up.



The front window has a very soft, rounded edge which put me right off this piece. Interior looks great though. He put Han and Chewie in the wrong seats. Has this guy even watched Star Wars?

...He put Han and Chewie in the wrong seats. Has this guy even watched Star Wars?

The guy lives in Australia. Don't they drive on the wrong side of the road over there? That might explain that mistake

Looks like that one doesn't have screws in the front.

Yeah, they made that improvement and also lightened the pain scheme for later shipments.

I have to be honest, this kinda annoys me. No issue with improvements being made to the engineering, and good on ?em for the people who ordered late, but for early supporters to just be stuck with an inferior product, is not a good thing.

Now, I have no idea what the solution would be other than never incorporating improvements (which is also not a good option), but for some folks to be out there with a demonstrably lesser product just for being excited and ordering early isn?t great.

It's the same idea for people who buy a brand new body style of a call for It's first year.

Got my Falcon cockpit from Jazzinc last week and absolutely love it! It definitely is a very large piece and mine arrived flawlessly in the US. Words can't describe how great this is when you have it in hand!

I didn't buy this but if I were in on that inferior first run I would not be pleased.

I'm in the same boat. Very happy with my darker paint scheme/apparent screws but i have to admit i'd have appreciated the lighter paint app and hidden screws better.

I did a repaint of my Millennium Falcon cockpit. I just couldn't live with the dark grey color. Also the screw opens I covered with some flat metal, (think they are earring backs). I've never done anything this big and had to do all weathering with an airbrush. I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I used reference photos from the actual studio model and tried my best to replicate it.

 

[TonTon]

Really awesome work, davej.

 

[jedijim3002]

Wow! Spectacular work.

 

[BACON!]

Looks awesome and exactly what I would have done if I had purchased this item. Hope I don;t have to do too many mods to the 66 Batmobile coming up

 

[davej1438]

Thanks all. The first release wasn’t the greatest on the outside. The mold and inside are good but the color and lack of weathering bothered me. The color it came was the dark gray that the strip behind the cockpit glass is. Really shows how dark it was next to the off-white I repainted it.
