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

[Pixelpiper]

The Hoth Han, which is infinitely better than this guy, will make a fine companion for Chewbacca.

Now I've got an eagle eye on this figure being parted out and hopefully with the head bearing most of the profit, I can pick up the clothes at a reasonable price to put together a custom that shames this thing.

What is the possibility that the EX Han comes off the wait list? And if so, will it be coupon eligible.

Yup, especially since most people are futzing him into an ESB or ROTJ Chewie anyway, from the looks of it.

Which head sculpt are you considering using? I was thinking about doing the same.

An as-yet un-made sculpt. I'm being pro-active.

Really?? Infinitely better. I do like the Hoth Han from SS but come on.

This looks about as good as it gets in 1/6 scale.

Don't confuse great photography skills of Para with a great figure. I'll use the best bits from this figure and avoid the bad ones (head and boots for example - I also won't use the holster). When all is said and done, the plan is to have a much better head sculpt with much better paint, similar looking body standing on boots that don't look like they were stolen from a hobo.

So wait? Now when someone takes a great photo of a figure showing that it looks wonderful we have to discredit it. But when someone takes ****** phone pics and the figure looks like ***, it's all hell breaks loose the world is ending the figure has to be horrible?

Sorry man, but that's ridiculous.

Para's photography can make any figure look great. Since I'm not buying a photo, I'll go custom on this one. The head sculpt isn't good enough to hang on my shelf,and I'm not paying $230 for a figure I'm only going to want parts from.

I think the universal response to this set has been overall outstanding. Even Rorywan, who is generally pretty Damn critical about their figures has praised this set.

Good thing I don't care about universal opinions.

Hey, more power to you. It's your collection, do what you wish, but calling SS Hoth Han sculpt Infinitely times better is pretty ridiculous.

I don't think so. Grove's sculpt is in another league entirely.

I wasn't going to jump on a smuggler Han, but seeing as I have petty much everything else from ANH, I figured it would be a glaring hole, even if I don't know where I'll display him yet. With the relative quality of the other pieces, I thought I'd go the extra mile and make sure the weak spots were taken care of. That means custom Han and custom Obi-Wan (mostly Sideshow, completely repainted, will add HT boots and possibly belt if they're very good). Oh, my current plan is also to replace the head on HT's ANH Luke with SSC's Pilot Luke - subject to the final result of each of course.

Maybe his original sculpt is. Not what we got with SS final product. Night and Day. I'd feel embarrassed displaying that sculpt. Only redeeming quality was covering it up and displaying that way.

And while I haven't gotten HT Han in hand yet, I am trusting the unversal opinion on this one. Is it perfect Ford? Don't think so. But is it worth the money? Hell yeah it is. To me it is.

Get it repainted if it bothers you, but the cast is as close to the prototype as anything else released lately.

See why would I bother spending more money on a repaint when I'm getting what I want for $240?

This is better?

I was tempted in customizing a Bespin Han using HT Han and SS parts but I think I'll just wait. I know they will do him eventually. It's just a matter of time.

HT will do a Bespin Han. We know it's coming. It will most defiantly be better than any mash up of SS parts.
