****ing right out of the gate with Chewie. OMG why I love HT as much as my wallet hates them. ****ing awesome!

Indeed it is!!!! This is truly one of the best mornings i have had with a Toy Announcement! I am fueled for the WEEK!!!

Word... this the kind of announcement it's hard to come down from. It's akin to Sideshow first announcing their 1/6 license or seeing Jabba and his Throne

A great moment indeed. If only I could figure out how to paint him more orange.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Woke up... still waking up... this can't be real.... *rubs eyes*.... what the....?



OMG!

Regarding Hot Toys' ability to handle fur - these guys are awesome.




Of course, nearly full facial and body fur on Chewie will be a bit more of a challenge to get right.

I miss those guys with all the new CGI reboot apes.

I was thinking I would pass on Hot Toys' Star Wars 1:6...but DAMN. For me, when I think of Star Wars, and iconic characters, it's from ANH. And these take the cake. Day one PO for me.

On a side note, yeah, Solo isn't a perfect sculpt. But how many perfect Ford sculpts are there out there? Trevor probably got closest, but I have yet to see anyone really nail him. Even Denny's having trouble. I think Inigou had a good start on one at some point (might have been for WGP), but I can't recall if those ever saw the light of day. And the great thing about a sculpt is, you can change it out without too much hassle, without having to go on a hunt for all the other bits.

The way HT dropped these announcements made me feel like we went fast forward to May 4th.

Best hot toys pair of announcements in the company's history right here! Chewie is flawless!

Damn it, I've been avoiding star wars for almost 2 decades, now I have to be in

I haven't been this excited as a Star Wars fan in a long time. Just this month has been Speeder Bike, Scout trooper, HT Han & Chewy...

Hot Toys, get on a 1/6 Millennium Fallcon cockpit. I would buy it.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Doesn't look like either have an exclusive, usually there'd be an extra box in the picture with all the accessories. What you see is likely what you get.

Han gets the Stormie belt & an imperial blaster.

 

[Darthrazz]

Any idea when these go up for pre-order?

Did you see JJ Abrahm's Millennium Falcon-Tumbler size comparison? Haha We'd need a 1/120 version, or smaller... j/k His size reference was incorrect though, I think. Tumbler is a bit bigger than what he showed I think, but it was funny.

Man a 1/6 Millennium Fallcon cockpit would be freaking sick!!!!!!

 

[dw316]

A 1/6 Falcon would fill an entire room, for some their entire home. We can only dream.

Because people love to hear themselves talk, and people love to complain, I think they are amazing as is, if they are made better then its a bonus.

Take the rose tint of your denial off, and see them for as they are: deeply flawed. Complaining for the sake of complaining? hell no. I want these to be incredible. if that actually looked like Chewie I'd be happy. I am supposed to love it just cause HT is trying to tackle him? Give.me.a.break

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to find something wrong with the greatest 1/6 news since the beginning of 1/6 news...

Fur itself is ok; face is not there.

It does need work.

Yep, I think Trevor's original ANH is still the best sculpt, although not very expressive. His Stormtrooper is quite nice, but too expressive As for the custom ANH ones they've all been quite a bit off, most are very solid work... but when you get down to it usually something just didn't look right, or the casting was off.

So here I think we have what looks to be the best produced ANH Han yet and likely the best looking one until HT releases and ESB or ROTJ version. I am still optimistic about the Sideshow Hoth Han might eek out... but that means they have to not **** up the paint or give him googly eyes... but that sculpt is also an incredible one:

And if you've never seen it the unpainted ANH sculpt... a bit blank, but I think he really captured a young Harrison Ford:

agreed!!!!! Super Pumped Pitu Activate!!!!!!!!

 

[kairus]
