Too many people are getting bent out of shape with these proto pics. Guys these are just proto shots. There's plenty of time for HT to make changes to the hs and attire look how MOS, ASM2, West Batman changed from the protos to the final release for the better.

Unless ht royally screws up the Solo sculpt like they did with Indy, I think the final release will be improved :lecture
 
I like your changes man, looks good. The face does look a little stern though as mentioned.

It should. That seems to be one thing that no one gets right. Always looks like he's having his picture taken in a mall portrait studio.

The hairline is very wrong though. Should be hanging in his face.

You know - that hair though, & the hairline for that matter. The 'style' is Ruffalo 'Banner'-esque, & they've gotta get that hair piece to sit lower, because it's definitely throwing the likeness out.[/QUOTE]

I'm still scarred over Indy. I would've put my house on that sculpt being redone, being as obviously and OTT awful as it was. I'm happy to buy as is, but obviously if it's improved that'd be awesome.

I've been waiting for a an Indy revamp or even a TOD or TLC Indy, but since it doesn't look like it is coming from HT, with all these Nolan Batman redo releases I have to wonder if it's a licensing rights issue between HT and Spielberg with Indy since Medicom made a KOCS version a while back.
 
I guess I need to get my eyes checked. Thanks for blowing that up, I can see what everyone else sees now :)

I still don't see it. The chin is longer and the eyes are bigger, he looks meaner, and less realistic.

The skin tone looks jaundiced, and the hair looks like chocolate.

:dunno

I don't have any recommendations to fix the sculpt. It could be closer, but I pre-ordered day one, so I'm satisfied with it as is. It they get it closer, great, if not, that's cool, I'm getting what I paid for.

Yeah, to me, Han in Star Wars always had an off white, cream colored shirt, hence the changes.








Thanks. I also changed the boots so they'd be more like the Reeve Superman and Keaton Batman boots. That soft, pliable plastic. I hate that baggy, cheap faux leather look they have going on.

Oh, and I made the hand smaller and the arms/forearms less thick.

The face is more ruthless, sure, but I'd rather have a stern Han Solo that looks like Harrison Ford that has his features than a Han Solo that doesn't resemble the actor at all and has a goofy, featureless expression, symmetrical features and dead, lifeless eyes. The lips they did only have a hint of a "fun" demeanor anyway. It looks just like their weird smirking expression that they did for DX 12 Batman.

If the final product looked like my shopped revision, it's not like we couldn't get a less stern expression with other Han Solo versions (like Stormtrooper disguise). The key here is actually looking like Harrision Ford.

Wow, great work, Difab! But I really doubt HT are going to do any revisions at this point. :( it's a tad better than their Indy, but not unite there yet.
 
Even if they delete we'll keep reposting it :lol

They aren't deleting them, but they are away from public eye, so no one else will get to see it, and I think a part of this is informing people of what a few changes can do, btw its really hard to find your posts, but they are in a little box on the left :(
 
That does look a lot more like Han. Hope they tweak the sculpt.

The head of Disney mentioned a new IJ movie during the EpVII announcements. The question is would that mean non-Harrison Ford HT Indy figures only as they probably wouldn't want merchandise out that reminded people about the "real" Indy actor.

Well I think we're on the same page ultimately, but he's got a couple of classic facial expressions. The way he looks in the classic photo with Chewie (blaster drawn) is where it's at. Locked in & focused, but not really 'frowning' per se.

Then again.. it's probably not that practical for a general sculpt on a figure.

Wouldn't Ford be playing him?
