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

Nice shots, QuiGon!

Inigo sculpted a Han trying on some old clothes he found in a forgotten locker on the Falcon.

It would be ironic if HT, having paid for a license, recast an unlicensed custom sculpt. The fallout would be popcorn worthy.

Yeah can't say I'm a huge fan of that sculpt, despite some great likeness in there. It's a major dose of HF for sure clap) but... with some attributes of a very determined Victorian-era woman mixed in. Maybe it's just the straight-on angle - might be better with just a slight turn.

The V1 Indy I think captured HF better and I really hope Ingiou does a V2 Han and others - he/she captures HF's face really well overall.

I don't think the HT sculpt is bad but it is a bit boring. I'd like to see a slight smirk or a slight sneer, something that would convey the wise ass nature of his character.

After seeing Leia and the new Nick Fury, I don't want to settle for less. It's either wow I have to have it or easy pass.

 

[The Green Goblin]

That custom sculpt has great detail work, but it's not a very good likeness to Ford, IMO.

 

[Jar-Jar Stinks]

My custom sculpt just came in! Wait, no it didnt...

Those are really beautiful pics! I've always liked this sculpt. There are a few bad pics of of him out there but I've seen a LOT more great shots than bad ones, and these to are really really good!

And with a character like Han we should hopefully be getting another few versions in the next few years - there are variations in his hair, but it's not that great that you couldn't use a great ESB sculpt for ANH.

lol @ victorian woman.

I still think this is an improvement over the V1, but it does seem to work a lot better for Indy than it does for Han for some reason. He looks about 10 years older than he should be here, and the hair just doesn't look right at all.

And it actually shares something with the HT Han in that the mouth is far too straight and not crooked enough. And for me those crooked features are an absolute must for a great Ford likeness.

Ah I know what you mean regarding the slight smirk or the slight sneer on the sculpt to capture and reflect Han's wise ass nature, but I actually think a subtle smirk still wouldn't do the trick.

When I think of a sculpt having a subtle smirk, I think the sculpt on the current Ant-Man figure captured that perfectly to fit Paul Rudd's brand of humor and being a wise ass. I think Han's wise ass nature was more brash though. He never really smirked when delivering his snarky lines. Perhaps a sneer like you mentioned, but I actually don't really have an issue with the expression on this sculpt. He almost seems like he has the same expression when he told Greedo, "Over my dead body."

lol @ victorian woman.

A pissed-off Victorian woman of the suffrage movement... "we women-folk will soon rise up against the tyranny of brutes we are married to, who do not leave enough prune juice for us to help expel our backed-up bodily constitution!"

Wonderful shots QGF.

Has anyone other than Jazz repainted this sculpt? Would like to see it if they have.

 

[Subdomain]

I know HT will probably stick with a plain or serious expression, but here are some other looks.

 

[Subdomain]

And some from Empire and RotJ...

The more I look at good shots of the HT Han sculpt, the more I think it's mainly the hair throwing it off. Better hair could do wonders for this sculpt.

 

[Prime Clone]

Same with Farmboy Luke. In fact with Luke it could be the paint job too, cos I reckon Stormie Luke looks better.

Something about the paint apps too, because that Jazz repaint was stunning (though he did some very minor resculpting using a needle to add texture.)

 

[davejames]

Wow, just checked out that Jazz repaint for the first time and damn, it really IS impressive! Makes the HT paint suddenly look incredibly simple and basic in comparison. I'm usually pretty impressed by their paintjobs, but it's clear now that this is a sculpt that needed a bit more help in order to bring the likeness out.

 

[Racetrack]

I opened up my Han. Are the boots supposed to be like this?

 

[TaliBane]

Yes - they're all like that. Try a small curved piece of cardboard inserted - doesn't fix, but can help a lot. Appears to be a pattern error - the Leia and Ben boots don't share that problem.

"Hey, its me..."

I prefer the ESB style overall, but I am enjoying the ROTJ look as well...
