1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 262 - Star Wars Episode IV - 1/6th scale Chewbacca Collectible Figure

[TonTon]

That one looks like the Loreal ad to me.

Hot Toys should have included this trio:

 

[Bo Shrek]

I think it might be straight out of the box and the futz may have been while picking it up and putting it on the stand.

This is someone else's box shot:

And yet another person's (Don Tam)

Ahhhhh.....look at Chewbacca and all that he come with inside that box. All for a cheap price of $350 CAN. In the old days we might have seen welding tool, googles, long rifle, C-3po backpack, Mynock oxegyn mask included in that box.

 

[Invictus Sol]

On an ANH release? No.

 

[Sturtrup]

Fred Astaire.

Can't stop smile!!

All for a cheap price of $350 CAN. In the old days...

Back five years years ago the dollar was at par and what's in the current box would have cost $250 Canadian, less for the few months the Canadian dollar was worth more than US. Back in the 90's the US dollar was worth over 1.50 Canadian and that would cost just about $400 without shipping or tax. In 2002 when the rate hit over 1.6, it would have been over $420.

Maybe we would have had more accessories in the box, and maybe some of them would be higher quality and made of metal no less. But Chewie no doubt would look a lot more like that ALF doll I posted earlier this AM rather than what we see here.

^^^ Looks Good there. And keeping it within the Disney license!!

 

[TonTon]

Ha, those are awesome. Thanks for posting. He looks great in low-res!

 

[davecyun]

Honestly, he doesn't really look that bad. I'm glad I got their set, but here are more photos for you guys to enjoy that I found.

 

[Rorywan]

He actually looks very Wookie like in some of those pics.

Chewy look's great and han too ,very cool cant wait for them both to arrive.

 

[abake]

Still pretty far from a perfect Chewie and Han, but they do look impressive.
I'm still not 100% convinced either way... keep or cancel.

Yep, it's a tough call. Part of what made it a lot easier for me is my place *still* won't be 100% ready to display everything for maybe 2 years and in that time I'm dead certain we'll see an ESB set announced. If I were ready to display now, might be easier to rationalize keeping the set since for sure they're the best available. I really dislike Solo's mug, though... Tough one.

I can wait for Chewie 2.0

 

[Bo Shrek]

I can wait for Chewie 2.0

What if HT’s does just this one and passes the other to SS (ie. Indiana Jones)?

 

[Darth Madden]

Chewy may not be perfect but he's the best we will ever get and I think he looks pretty dang good... I can't wait to get him.

 

[highlander1]

I wouldnt doubt many will buy doubles of both. I cant decide if going to upgrade my sideshow han until see han n upgrade hans body n head , boots.
