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

There's been at least one really nice Ewok custom, so it's definitely doable - I'd love one to pose with the Scout Trooper too.

Yeah I was thinking if I could have just a pair of figures to represent each planet or scene, a Scout and Ewok would look great. Not sure I need anything else Endor-wise. Except maybe a 1/6 AT-ST.

If they did a two pack Ewok set similar to Chewie I'd be interested. I could see it happening but probably not for a while.

It's possible that there are two small Ewoks already inside trying to pass themselves off as Chewie.
 




Check the two videos "before and after"....



I don't think Han faired too poorly, to me he looks more like Ford, although there's something 'flat' about his poofy 70's hair...

Chewbacca on the other hand is not futzed well at all here. And this is the best angle...

Incredible how few sold in Asia.... and that there's NO 2-Pack in Asia! Makes me want the 2-pack even more.
 
Not so good. Damn, really wanted this.

Yeah, same here. If they don't do a Chewie 2.0 (highly unlikely) I'll have to settle for this, but it's best to keep all options open until then IMO. But you got to admit they could have a lot of fun accessories if they do another.
 
Just caught up that this has been released. Doesn't look bad at all. I will be glad to finally get my Chewy.

OCD! OCD!!!!

Well the problem is having too many figures for each setting. :) Plus I prefer (OCD) the look of two figures per detolf shelf. It's more a mindset of reducing rather than expanding (OCD). I need ZE_501 to help me out.

At least there would be an end game and hopefully some symmetry. It starts to break down and becomes an elaborate puzzle as there are many tempting figures, but it would look something like:

Tantive: Stormtrooper, Leia
Tatooine: Sandtrooper, Jawas
Death Star: Vader, Kenobi
Space: Luke X-Wing, TIE Pilot
Hoth: Snowtrooper, Hoth Han
Falcon: Han, Chewie
Dagobah: Yoda, Luke Bespin
Endor: Scout, Wicket

Not sure how the probe droid and doubles of figures like the troopers fit in to all that. 3PO and R2 would be in there somehow too but they can represent almost any place, give them a Death Star base, a Tantive base, a sand base, Hoth. Also some huge omissions like Jabba's, Cantina, but the above would already be one detolf more than I have. :panic:
 
It's amazing how quickly this hobby can go from "Chewbacca will never happen, too hard to make" to "eew, that muzzle is not my favourite and the fur is going to need a lot of futzing".
 
Looking at the proto pic above, it's clear that someone had to take a LOT of time to shape all the hair correctly and sweep it to the sides just right and define the brow.

It'll be interesting to see if anyone here is able to duplicate that at all.
