Will hair dye work?

I have a quick question about the exclusive. Is it worth putting my name on the waitlist for the exclusive to spending the extra $5 for the blaster and stormtrooper belt? I do want Han...but I just don't know which version to get.

It took about a week for my wait list to convert. I ordered on September 6, got a conversion alert on the 11th, and was charged the deposit on the 15th.

I figured, why not have the ex if it's still a possibility? The only downside is that I wasn't able to use a coupon, so it essentially cost me $25 ($20 coupon plus the additional $5 the ex costs) more than the regular version.
 
Will hair dye work?

Probably not as the fibres are probably synthetic and won't take the dye. You'd normally have something with bleaching properties to lighten hair (that stuff is nasty), so there's no way I'd let any of that crap touch $260 worth of Chewbacca fur. :)
 
I'll take Chewie to my country club next year. After a few laps in the pool each day and some time out in the sun he should be good by summer's end.

Its not possible to dye something lighter. You have to bleach it first then re dye.

I'd like to see someone just add some lighter hair ......

I really just cannot pull the trigger on either one, for me they both miss the mark in the face by too much. For the price tag they should be perfect. HT should not be rewarded for lazy sculpts and shoddy coloring. Especially the coloring.....since they have it right on the rest of the body.....
 
Great pics matrix!!!:clap



Cool :hi5: I didn't think about the little bit of skin tone on the neck, but that might not be that noticeable especially from the front. I wasn't planning to get the Stromtrooper Luke because I am trying to keep my collection simple but the ability to put Han's head on the tall Trooper but me back on the fence with Luke. I only have the single Trooper, but if I had gotten the Trooper two pack I probably wouldn't want Luke knowing I could put Luke's head on the short one too (despite not getting the cool Luke accessories). I just don't have space for more than two Stormtroopers, so having two that can be either Troopers or Han and Luke appeals to me. I still am curious how easy or difficult it may be to mod a way to use the trooper helmet on the Luke Trooper, but if that's doable I potentially will have all the parts to have a version of Han and Luke or a tall and short Stormtrooper. Because I ordered the Han and Chewie two pack I also will have the Trooper riffle too (I think the ex riffle Chewie comes with is the same in the trooper two pack). I even have a mouse droid, but I won't want any one to look to close because it's a hasbro one :) Not sure what I'll end up doing, but we'll see.

Sweet pics, matrix. :clap

Which Threepio is that, Matrix? He's lovely (which is a phase it's hard to get out of me...)!

Thanks:) That's the tamashii 3po.
