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

[Matt S]

Futz with it long enough and it'll look better than Hurricane's.

love hurricane myself, but not the base body - converted Dragon if I'm not mistaken. Looked too skinny, but his armor detail was excellent

Ah, thanks for the info. I've really only heard of the helmets, they look excellent.

Detolf shot of the duo and chewie

So Chewie barely fits in a Detolf?

on the stands yeah its a squeeze has a few cm's of head room, on a normal oval stand he'll be fine

Does anyone know the exact height of chewie?

I just opened mine and it's amazing. Snout doesn't seem too pronounced, still it is noticeable. How are you guys loosening the chin hair? Are you pulling down on the fabric backing or just the hair from that?

 

[TaliBane]

I wonder if popping off the head and doing a little "behind the scenes surgery" (cutting into the lower part of the face from the inside) might shorten that protruding snout a little.

Awesome. Thanks brother.

Who's tempted to paint the eye's lighter blue and the lips more of a pink colour?

^ I think it looks great there, I wouldn't mod it at all if it were me.

I'm really amazed at how good this figure is looking, especially after the images we were seeing from SDCC. I'm happy for you guys that have one, I won't have mine for a while yet.

So is that on the stand or off?

I believe it's off.

I think to be more accurate it should probably be like 15" (assuming google is correct about Chewie's height), but 14.8 still seems pretty close I think.

I'm relatively new to this collecting genre. But I have to believe this is one of the greatest comebacks in the history of 1/6 figures? Am I wrong? A week ago or right before paramore's pics people were thinking this figure would sell wholesale. Now it's approaching figure of the year status, no?

Because people overreacted before the figure was even released. Same thing with the Han figure.

Only figure I have seen that deserves bad criticism recently is the 3A Master Chief that can't even hold a pose. Han and Chewie really came out well.

Looks absolutely fantastic!
So no concern about being able to put it back to the slicked back ANH look after parting it and fulling it forward like that for the ROTJ look?

Thanks! No, it's so easy to work with that there's no trouble switching between the looks.

yeah sorry - this one was years ago......not 100 % myself.....

Well to be fair, most of the pics coming out WERE pretty awful. And there was no guarantee that it could be futzed into something as nice as we're seeing here (even the bloggers who usually manage to take all kinds of amazing and flattering shots of these figures weren't able to improve it at all).

So I'd say our concern was more than a little justified at the time.
