I love that HT did this figure. Right out of the box, it's a great representation of Han for 96% of collectors. However, I have my nick picks like most do, and since I'm a tinkerer, I'm changing a few things to get it suitable for me.
-The hair is too dark and not styled well for ANH, particularly the front wave that sticks out. That being said, it works for the skin tone they've used. I lightened the hair by painting it brown. I think it looks better for the hair, but it's more drastic with the face complexion. Still, it works better for me.
-I actually like the SS pants better. The HT pants are too dark (to me) and the pleat is too obvious. I believe the "real" pants were just plain old jeans.
-I'll be using the SS weapons. The detail is great on the HT one, but it's a real glossy black and looks Hasbro-ish color-wise.
-I'll replace the body. This base body just seems too jacked for my taste. Wide chest, big forearms. Looks great-I'm just not feeling it.
-Oddly enough, I do like the boots. Yes, they need some futzing, but I think they are the most normal looking boots in the foot area out there. They just taper down better than the Dragon ones. The boot tubes on them are nice for sure, but the area at the toes just seems to big and rounded.
I think it's a solid release on it's own, but I do have the means and wherewithal to make some minor tweaks to it to be
THAT much better in my eyes. I'm glad we have choices, and for a lot of the SS bashing that goes on, I think a combo of the accessories from both companies would ultimately build the best representation of the characters out there (assuming you owned a previous version). We won't be this lucky for Luke or Leia
