The right one in post #154 reminds me of someone, but I just can't think of their name. It's going to bug me all day now...

He looks super stoned in that last shot.

Appropriate. There have been rumors Ford was The Doors pot dealer back when he was a camera operator on their documentary.

That side by side shot has better lighting than the other pics. It shows the youthfulness and I think it's a DAMN good representation of ANH Han. No sculpt is 100% bang on. The best of the best are only about 90% perfect, and I'd put that somewhere in the 80%'s. Inigou did a good sculpt but I agree it looks like an older Han.

I was never a big hater of the HT sculpt. It's clearly off mark but I felt it was passable. This side by side really shows how off mark it is though.

It's actually a better scale.

Realizes the Millenium Falcon isn't moving after Chewie asks if he's flying ok.....

That custom looks amazing. It's Harry Ford as Han Solo. Makes the Hot Toys one now look even more off.

 

[Creighton]

wow that custom sculpt is fantastic. Here i was in love with the original HT.
makes the old sculpt look like John Ritter.

...the one on the right gives off a younger Ford vibe.

The fatter one on the left has more of an older Ford about it.

But in that photo above it looks like someone else. Seems so familiar. A British actor from the seventies and early eighties.

Gareth Hunt?

Indy next, please.

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't even got around to opening my 2-pack yet, but I've seen both figures in local shops when they were still on shelves. I forgot if it differed much in hand but I think the main issue is the soft paint. Jazz showed there is a better likeness in there that can be brought to the surface. I'd love to see what some other painters can do with this

I still think the HT sculpt is decent, but this sculpt has raised the bar. Looking forward to getting it in hand

Between this and Jazz's paint up the gauntlet has been well and truly thrown down to Hot Toys. I would hope for a new, great sculpt for Stormtrooper Han (not that smirking one) and at the very least an improved paint job that brings out the sculpt.

 

[Raymond F.]

I'll post some time, there's a few things with paint that can be done to bring out more of the likeness specifically around the mouth and eyebrows. I did this and it helped slightly but the head is just not a good likeness in the sculpt. The paint can only do so much. I have to admit I was never excited about the hot toys Han Solo and I never knew why until I saw the jinx custom sculpt and finally got excited for the figure as I should be.

There's other problems with this figure I think his build is wrong for one thing. I plan to adress that a bit once I get my custom head.

Looks like the terrific smiling Han sculpt might be on its way soon.

The top one reminds me of someone, but I just can't think of their name.



It's going to bug me all day now.

It reminds me of Chris Morris from Brasseye and The Day Today. I saw it as soon as I saw the first grey proto photo and I can't shake it. It's a great sculpt and I would have been interested but I just can't unsee it.

Oh dear, that one really is a stinker!

 

[PopCultKid]

Were there any good pics of the smirking sculpt? Is it clearly a mess or is it bring judged too early?
