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

[Spark Extractor]

Loving the growth of the Star Wars collection.

Sweet setup!

I got the set yesterday. I put them in half decent poses but today I did some tweaking, I find even slight mm changes can make a difference. It maybe hard to tell in the pictures but Han Solo's head is tilted to the side a bit, I also gave him a a bit of swagger, to me he looks natural and confident. Chewy, I bent his knees a bit and tilted his head to the side too.

Nice! Flatten out his pants belt buckle though.


I went for a similar, more casual pose today as well. Damn those eyes.

 

[Cavlcade]

Nice pose. How are you getting on with the boots?

Sweet setup!

Thank you [emoji4]

Thanks, I lifted from you, didn't I?

The boots.... meh. I like the way they catch the light, and they are supple. I had stuffed the ankles with some bits of paper towel around the peg, which help. Just gets down to a pose and then pinching into place.

I'm not going to replace them as a friend informed me there's complications because of the long pegs which I don't feel like wrestling with. But if you can get these into a position you like, they do look good.

That looks great! The head tilt is money...

A pretty strong head tilt and harsher light from above really does help diminish the dead eyes/bored expression though.

Damn, some great looking photos in here.

Usually you get people sticking the camera right up next to the figure, with flash on and all that, but it's nice to see peeps really trying to make the figure presentable.

anyone tried lightening the hair?

Interesting! I think I need to see a few more to form an opinion.

Did you just dab some rust color on, or did you totally repaint? Interested to see more pics. Other than the blank expression (which you can't do much about) the hair color is something that could bring this head closer to HF somewhat simply - I hope.

blank stare serial killer stare don't think any one would be happy unless it`s cross eyed stare

Repainted the whole thing with just regular brown (sparingly). I'll take some more pics later in daylight.

Finally got my 2-pack today. Man, I am blown away by both of these figures! Chewie looked pretty good just out of the box, but the more you work with the hair and comb it out, the better he looks. He is a little dark, but he does seems to have lightened up a little while messing with the fur. Zero issues with Chewie but Han did have a frozen left elbow joint. Had to break out the old boiling water trick to loosen it up but he is fine now. Thank the maker! I did not want to have to send him back! I'm really, really happy with these two...probably my favorite 1/6 figures. For what it's worth, Han's head sculpt looks way better in hand IMO. Here's a real quick shot I took of the pair, looking forward to spending some quality time with them this weekend so more pics in better light to follow...

Yeah! Wait...what?

While the head is not as bad as the Indy head I wish I could say I liked it. It's a big dissapoitment for me and it's not the worst ford likeness I've seen its just far from the best. Fixing the color of the hair helps a bit but not much.

As much as I love the body his head is majorly undersized and his neck is too long. I took off the neck post and used blue tac and the length adjustment really does help but he still looks like he's got a shrunken head.

A bit of a bummer of a figure.

Sorry to hear that because I really respect your opinion. I have only gotten Chewy in-hand so far.

I swapped out the pegs on mine with long pegs that were a bit shorter and had foam padding on the bar type. I think they were from a HT Captain America Winter Soldier.

Not sure if they made any difference though.
