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

Wow Q1-Q2 of 2015 seems quick

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

It has begun..on facebook

 

[dw316]

Really? Grease John Travolta?

 

[Ajkhunter]

Travolta... what? No.

I actually think the likeness is solid, with the exception of his mouth. I think that's the thing that's throwing the likeness off.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. I didn't make that picture

 

[Darth Fok]

Wow, can't wait to get this, glad it's a fast release and not a two year wait.

 

[dw316]

Where did they say Q1-Q2 2015? That is kind of a quick release for something announced so suddenly... even the Armory took a while no?

 

[Darth Fok]

Just need HT to release a decent Leia now.

It seems like the sculpt is too wide in the cheeks and jaw, it's just weird how it kind of looks like him at some angles, and then not much at all at others.

 

[dw316]

Is the face at all similar to the DX05?

I don't think Ford has anything to do with it other than having been born with his face.

Typical. Prima donna actors, always being difficult.

 

[batfan08]

I think what it all boils down to is separating the components.

Ford:

Not so much:

 

[SwedishHeat]

I'd be surprised if Ford has even seen this, much less had any comments on it.

I don't think the Star Wars actors have control over their likeness for these films. Lucas retained all those rights. I think Disney and Hot Toys have a mutually beneficial relation$hip. Disney keeps giving HT all those plaques with #1 Licensee, so it's not like they're going to prevent HT from pumping SW merch out.

 

[dw316]

Hey, they even have that scar on his chin.

Here's sre some good photos of the DX5. It's not perfect, but not as bad as people say it is. In hand the figure looks better.

First page, with all the specs.

 

[LoveMinusZero]

Man, Ford's likeness really is seemingly impossible to get right. I'm excited as hell for this and Chewie, but I wish his face looked better.

 

[Stanlore]

I think it looks like Harrison Ford, but not ANH-Han Solo.

Not including the hair... it actually looks a little bit more like Indy.

A New Hope - Ford was younger and thinner. This is Temple of Doom / Return of the Jedi Ford. I'll probably still get it.
