1/6 Hot Toys MMS 261-Star Wars: Episode IV-Han Solo 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure

[Hoody999]

Praise the Maker Hot Toys has the Star Wars license. My childhood love in 1:6 scale form.

Stealth, your pics are making the wait excruciating. For some reason USPS hasn't updated since my figures left Hong Kong 3 days ago.

Hey FullMetal

Who do you use to get one direct from HK ?

 

[venturluni]

Definitely getting this!

Here's my video review of both figures. I also compare side by side Han to Hot Toys' Indiana Jones.

Thanks for the review! It immediately changed my mind about the sculpt. Looks like Harrison Ford from all angles in your video.

Han is looking great! Still sticking to my Imperials-only rule but it's tempting.

Hoody, I usually go through Kid4dult. I usually PM him asking if he'd like to make a deal outside of eBay. 9 out of 10 times he will. He knocks about 25-30 bucks off his eBay price since he won't have to pay the fees. He trolls the boards here and has seen the praise we're heaping on the Chewie figure. Now he jacked the price up to $420. Ouch.

there's other deals out there but if you're going to do it, do it now before prices go up even higher. And you could also try asking other sellers if they'd consider selling outside eBay. You're not protected by eBay any longer but you're still covered by PayPal should anything go wrong.

These are the two pics that made me pull the trigger on this guy. No frills neutral lighting and it still looks pretty damn great.

Great pose by the way.

Thanks guys
I'm glad I made you pull trigger
It's better in real life than the photos show to be honest

Sideshow is shocking

That unhooded Han sculpt is better than the hooded one but it still looks super hasbro or even Mattel. And what is up with the brownish skin tone and semi gloss paint? If I had the Hoth Han I'd try to get a HT head and do a swap. But then again, the separate glove cuffs and overall tayloring need improvement also. It's a true shame because Hoth is one of my favorite scenes and I would love to place him with the tauntaun.

Is that from the recent SS Hoth Han Solo? WOW. And they charged $200 for that?

Everyone that kept the Hoth Han said it was a great headsculpt. So much for trust.

 

[Sidewinder]

That Hoth sculpt really didn't look that bad before, but compared to this one, it really does look awful

I think we forget how "bad" Hasbro and Mattel was when we compare it to Sideshow.


I think there is just as much difference in craftsmanship and quality between Hasbro and Sideshow as there is between Sideshow and Hot Toys. It's only after we have seen what Hot Toys can do that suddenly Sideshow looks like Habsbo to us. There is just no going back now but that doesn't mean Sideshow wasn't once a significant jump from Hasbro.
