Get my Chewy Friday... 
I'm quite shocked how quickly Sideshow charged me and then shipped -- all within a few hours. UPS has already picked them up.
I'll be picking up Han and Chewbacca tomorrow after lunch (PST)... so my reactions will be posted by late afternoon tomorrow. I don't expect any massive change of opinion from what we've all heard so far.

I shouldn't have bought that!
Charged! Should be on his way soon
Awesome. Congrats. I ended up going with popcultcha for these guys. Just my luck our dollar improves a little when these are billed and right after I paid for Deadpool and a very expensive book.

Excellent stuff.
Thank you. Boxes are awaiting pick up at UPS Center. I wish I didn't have a lunch scheduled today.

PAID OFF Now the short wait.
Now the short wait.
OK, picked up Chewbacca and Han Solo... opened them up... and ready for my FIRST IMPRESSIONS Report... here we go...
My initial impressions are a mixed bag.
GOOD:
1) it's a Chewbacca figure! That alone is impressive.
2) The height on this -- mine stands 14 3/4 inches without any modding -- is great. I see no issue or real need for more height next to Solo.
3) The fur is nicely matted and seems easy to work with, much moreso than I was expecting. Yes the chin is glued down but even with my fingers I got a little lift out of it. Will take some working as expected.
4) the gear is awesome, what little there is. Nicely detailed as expected.
5) hands swapped out easy for me.
6) figure stands well and feels sturdy -- not heavy, but it holds its pose and I don't feel its going to tip over in time.
BAD: here we go...
1) this figure is very dark. Too dark. Unfortunately dark. Pictures make it look lighter in hand than what I received. Could be mine. The face is so dark I do not see how I could lighten it (whether bleaching or by mixing in lighter hair).
2) the bag is a bit short. Not horrendous but I do wish it hung down another inch. Might be worth picking up an additional bag and adding the length.
Of the two figures, I found myself much more pleased with Han Solo than Chewbacca. Han really doesn't require much futzing at all out of the box, which certainly makes him more appealing on first impressions. Chewbacca will take some work to get it looking like some of the other players on this board.
But the dark face is a big disappointment for me.

Hmm, too bad about the face. It has appeared pretty dark in some photos, and I was hoping that was just the photography, but maybe not...
Yes, where he should be charcoal gray and brown, he's black and mahogany.
That said, there's still a color difference -- I don't want to freak anyone out. It's just darker than I personally was expecting.
