That's a GREAT photo, really captures how it looks in hand.

I don't know why all the pictures I have seen out of the box looked so bad to me but having this figure finally in hand I actually think it looks great. I was going to have the head repainted but I really like it as is.

I wish I had the same reaction to Han. In hand he's my least favorite of anything in my SW collection. It's all due to various things about the sculpt. It's good there are those that really like it though. It's also good that there are custom options out there for us that don't.

I actually have a painted custom on order as well. I am in the second batch. Once in hand I can decide how I want to display them. I am thinking I will use one for the stormtrooper disguise if I don't like the HT version.

I'm with you. In hand the sculpt looks far better than any pictures I've seen. I tried to take a decent one of the head sculpt but for some reason the complex skin texture doesn't pick up View attachment 275019

I feel the same way about Luke (farmboy), he looks way better in hand than any camera can seem to capture.

Yeah, haven't really loved either Han or Luke in-hand frankly. I liked Luke a bit more. Han I resold, placing all chips on the upcoming HT ESB Han (c'mon HT....) The outfit (minus boots obviously) on Han was amazing, whereas I wasn't too impressed with Luke's outfit. Tunic short, sculpted gaiter wraps etc. Both had articulation issues - Han's arms and Luke's neck (severely limited.)

They're both solid figures overall, just Luke's likeness was better to me in-hand vs pics, whereas Han was about the same - decent to quite good from a few key angles, but overall not as good. Interesting I've seen some repaints of the Han starting to show up and it does look better (though jazzinc's was also a subtle resculpt) so maybe the paint's an issue somehow.

Has anyone picked up one of these " Custom " Han Solo heads from the bay yet? Just wondered what the quality was like in hand? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131851326294?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Don't support recasters.

 

[Rogerbee]

It's an HT recast and it'll be even smaller than the HT head is, don't bother with it!

 

[Adam1138]

How do these people get away with this?! Surely you would think HT would be looking into this sort of thing?

 

[TaliBane]

Ugh - yet another recast head that has better apps than an average SSC head.

 

[Adam1138]

Because Hot Toys built their empire out of bootlegging?

Really, that's interesting... enlighten me.

I guess you get what you are willing to pay for at the factories..

It would be even softer than the HT sculpt and the paint inferior due to its recast nature.

And they can get away with things like this because these recasters usually operate from China which is a legal nightmare.

Up-date on my head I think I done it

 

[Rogerbee]

Nailed it!

Cheers mate

Awesome! Finally a good full body shot. I love it! I can't wait to get mine.

 

[SilverStar17]

That looks really good. Nicely done.

hey... constructive criticism coming your way....

maybe it's just me, so others chime in here, it looks like he needs more eyebrow presence? Maybe you could try a darker shade? Not sure, but it seems his eyebrows are getting lost, could be the lighting, and it makes it a little wierd.

Also the forehead is very porous, I don't know if that is a paint technique or the sculpt itself, or again... just the lighting, but the forehead appears to look like it has acne or something. A bit overdone.

Aside from those two gripes, again, constructive criticism from me to you, to get the best looking Han figure you can have... I'd say this head is definitely an improvement from the stock head and a round of applause for the overall look.
