Fast pics from previous review... apologize for the blurriness.... fresh from box, no futz...
Yours doesn't seem to photograph that dark, but I suppose it could be more of an in hand thing.
That's a bummer about the darkness in-hand. I guess I'm going to see for myself soon enough. I wonder if there are batches and variance or if - more likely - it is what it is for everyone. You'd imagine they would have bought all the fur in one big lot.
Here I was really looking forward to Chewy and not so much to Han - have to reverse my expectations.
That's the thing, it photographs lighter... or with more contrast. It's definitely brown and black with clear delineation... but the brown is just darker than I was expecting.
That said, perhaps once I loosen up the fur it will appear lighter -- right now he's kind of all mashed and matted down from the packaging.
But the shape of Chewbacca is great. He definitely looks like Chewie when I stand back. I'm still very happy to have him.

It was a complete flip for me -- I wasn't expecting much from Han. But maybe therein lies the problem: expectations.
Could be batches. Was hoping for a "lighter" version myself... got the darker perhaps. Or its simply a matter of opinion what's 'dark' and what's not.

Same here. I thought Chewie was going to be the star. It's Han for sure though.

Digging the head tilt in the pics. Not sure if it was by design (guessing it was

On the very remote chance I need to return a figure I did not want to have to return the entire 2-pack... and also on the very remote chance that I sell one of these off, I wanted to have a box for each.
I do miss that big gun for Chewbacca though.
It's still a great figure, I just personally favor Han. I'm sure you'll like him.

Thanks, by design. Wish the pics were clearer. But there will be a flood of excellent photos coming over the next few weeks.
I'm looking forward to having more time tomorrow to actually futz and see what I can get out of Chewbacca. I think it's likely I will be more satisfied once I invest some time.
I was originally hoping the gun would pop up online somewhere, but given that it's an exclusive I'm guessing that's pretty unlikely. 
Well it also comes with the two-stormtrooper pack. Likely it will appear again with someone, maybe Han Trooper too.
Plenty of chances to get it down the line.
That said, like most said, the bowcaster is so unique its hard to pose Chewie without it.

I got singles because I worried Han might not be that great - so I could separately sell if I didn't like it in-hand or if/when HT showed a (potentially superior) Han Bespin or Han Stormie headsculpt. I didn't see them revisiting OT Chewy so wanted to keep that. I also didn't need the long rifle - already have a few MG 34's.

I'll for sure going back in thread to futz Chewys hair correctly hopefully not to difficult or scarey to futz him into the ROTJ look. I cant wait to throw broken C3PO on him in backpacking empire mode with rotj look.
How's the v2 head? Darker?
Yep, clearly I got that v2.2 dark head. Damn!
Great pic's Wor-gar. congrat's
Thanks! I know they're not, but thanks!
