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

So, you finally have accepted the truth. *Darth Vader breathing*

Ehh.. good photo / bad photo - rinse repeat.

In hand pics will confirm either way really.

 

[Smudger9]

Hmmm. Will probably still get him, but if we get a better Bespin version he'll end up on eBay.

From Hot Toys Collectors. This proto's seen better days.

****ing hell. That is an embarrassment.

Apart from the hair he looks like Tony Blair.

To think I got called a troll for asking (a genuine question) if this was a similar situation to Edward Scissorhands where HT didn't have the likeness rights. It really doesn't like they do.

Eh, except there are no likeness rights w/Star Wars, which I'm assuming a big fan like you would already know. Anyway, let's hope these are truly prototypes and we see some revisions come production.

I didn't know that - thanks! Do you mean the movies predate likeness rights and were automatically signed away by the actors as part of their contracts?

 

[Invictus Sol]

Lucas had the actors sign all their likeness rights away as part of their contract, so they all belong to LFL/Disney. Pretty sure Star Wars was the first movie with blockbuster merchandizing like we're used to now, so the actors probably had no inkling what those rights could be worth.

Edit: Just did a quick Google and found this short article in the Guardian UK in regards to Carrie Fisher. I believe it's the same case with Guinness, Hamill, Ford, etc.

I'm edging closer to cancelling HT Han Solo and going with SS Hoth Han. At least then I'm having Blue/Brown coat debates instead of "who does that actually look like?"

 

[YankeesFanboy]

^ Good job, HT, good job.

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Never thought I would see the day where people are liking SS's headsculpts more than HT's.

That is a sorely needed thread Yankee! It shows just how generic this sculpt is. I still think a thin Mark Ruffalo is the closest.

Having seen the proto in person, the pics are an accurate representation unfortunately. The Chewie pics are worse than he looks "in hand" but the Han ones are spot on.

Yeah, of all the upcoming SW figures so far (HT or Sideshow), I've gradually come around to thinking that the Hoth Han is the coolest and best looking one. Not just because of the good likeness, but because it's a unique look and costume we haven't seen before.

(Not to mention the fact it's not another ANH figure. Lol)

Then get ready for more disappointment when you see this in hand.

Wor-Gar is right...stay with HT Star Wars figures where there is no waiting for disappointment....you know the sculpts are S*h*i*t*t*y before the figures arrive.

 

[davejames]

Zing!

[Wor-Gar]

Good one. But we'll all soon see how well the new SS holds up.
