OMFG! Great job, Matrix! Chewie's posture looks spot on in your pics.

Thanks It's just one beautiful figure when you get him looking rightView attachment 211193View attachment 211192

Great pics ^^^

 

[Cocoboloboy]

It actually looks like Han has a bit of a smirk in that bottom pic.

Matrix, do you mind swinging by my place and helping me get this guy re-futzed and posed???

This guy looks SO much better with some futzing. I need to do a little more work to get the gel/whatever out from under his chin (I don't really understand why they did that...) and maybe twirl a little hair around under his muzzle for a more curled effect there, but it's a much more natural look without that gunk. That and adding a little more volume to his head did wonders.



(Yes, I need to scooch that ammo pack over some into his bandolier. LOL. I noticed that after I took the pic sadly.)

Chewie turned out pretty decent with the in-hand photos, happy to see that. It was a bold task to take on a furry Chewbacca and they did well with it. Bravo!

Now for mine to just come in

For anyone who's interested here's a height comparison with the SS vader and with my custom vader which is more accurate. View attachment 211387View attachment 211388

Thank you for the comparison.

So an original SSC ANH and Chewie would be within a few millimeters in height. Bot companies **** up the height in different directions and they end up with the same height almost. What are the odds?

Is there no one among the early owners that have considered trying to lenghten chewie juuust a little bit?

I took the head off when fixing the face fur.Makes it easier to handle. View attachment 211390View attachment 211391View attachment 211392View attachment 211389

Actually i think chewie is pretty close to accurate height wise. Han stands a little too tall at 12 and 1/4 inch.

That decapitated Chewie pics are really disturbing.

 

[FlyAndFight]

I put myself on the waitlist for the 2-pack.

I know that I'm rather late to the party but had other financial issues keeping me from ordering previously.

Here's hoping it converts.

Is that from the new movie?

Han stands a little too tall at 12 and 1/4 inch.

That's not too tall for Han at all though. His boots had heels and Ford was already 6'1" at the time.

Really? Interesting, I read earlier in one of these threads that Han was too tall, but then someone said that he was too short, so since I don't have my own to compare yet I have to believe what's written here. Maybe they are trying to match the height to Bespin Luke which I think is a little too tall?

So now the short peg on Han idea a few pages back comes back into play..

Stop coming in here with your logic and destroy the glimmer of hope I just felt.

Hahaha. Sorry. I think it's pretty safe to estimate the heels on the boots at 1-1.5", so even on the low end, he'd be 6'2" which is a hair under 12 and 11/32" - so something between 12 1/4" and 12 3/8" is pretty good. The specs say the figure is 11.8" tall and I haven't seen anyone put a ruler to him yet.

So far...

Chewie is too short
Han is too short
Bespin Luke is too tall
Vader is/was? too tall
Tall/regular Stormtrooper is probably a bit too short

I'll make custom pegs for Chewie's feet when I get mine so long as there's enough fur around the ankles to cover everything up.

 

[swampsong]

Just got mine last night, I think he's awesome, sorry for crappy pics

Though my beagle does agree with alot of people on here and says he's stupid

This is correct. Chewy looks the right height in comparison to the unmodified SS Vader and when standing next to Han.
