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

[PopCultKid]

I was wondering that after I saw the Han/Chewy pic, but I didnt feel like doing the research.

IDK if their heights are accurate (didn't look at the specs) but the disparity between the two of them looks decent in that pic. Not perfect but good though

I only buy the small Kenner/Hasbro crap. That's what I grew up with as a kid, that's what I focused on. There's way too much Star Wars merchandise out there to have 1/6 too. Star Wars Collectibles have been going strong for 37 years. I figure it'll go on for another 40 and this Han and Chewie will be small potatoes/forgotten in the not distant future.

Smart man. Thats precisely why I avoided this area for so long when I first registered. But I eventually bought in now, I'm ****ed.

Wow. Just realize it's ready for preorder at my local toy shop:

Why not get it from Action City? It is cheaper also.

I'm wondering now with Hot Toys showing the headsets for Han and Chewy if they will be building the Falcons cockpit or gunner stations?

There's way more 3 3/4" crap than there is 1/6th crap -- you must have a lot of money to get all those repeats and upgrades. Collecting 1/6th is still cheaper in the end.

Smart man.

Only if he sticks to buying like twenty to thrity little figures. If he goes for the whole galaxy, he's toast.

Looks awesome

C-3PO?

I fail.

But add a broken R2D2 nonetheless!

Best 1/6 collecting news of the day!

According to that simplytoys Web site, Han is $329.90 retail and Chewie is $369.90. I don't know if those will be consistent with Sideshow's prices, but it looks like we'll be facing a $50 Star Wars surcharge on each figure.

I haven't bought a 3 3/4er in a long time. They're awful now.

Then what SW stuff do you get? The 6 inchers?

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

Sometimes I wonder if some of you just love to complain for a living. Some other pieces look like crap, and I get it. But this?...

If you don't buy this, you are a terrorist.

 

[Jayrod88]

Pre ordered!!! Not that expensive. I figured $300.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

$254 not bad, considering Solo is only $20 cheaper.

Ordered the 2-pack. I'm gonna start selling off some SS figs soon. HT has changed the game.

If they're making a good portion of the line 1/6, why would make a larger figure of the (arguably) most popular character and have it be out of scale? Not say they won't ever do it, but not before 1/6.

Because Sideshow are responsible for a large portion of their sales and are still selling a Vader. So it's safe to assume that a Hot Toys version won't be revealed until sometime after Sideshow is well done selling their's. This has been the pattern for licensed Star Wars characters over the past 10+ years.

I can see this being a QC nightmare

Thank the gods I was way off the mark! Han's $230, Chewie's $255, $480 for the pair. simplytoys is price gouging.

My point from the beginning of the whole 'real fur' debate. I just don't see this kind of thing being consistently good - I don't see it lasting over time either.

That said - it does look great, except the eye are needs tweaking, & the fur on his forehead needs more detail.

The main thing is.. THEY HAVE BEGUN.

It will probably be fine as long as you don't play with him
