Lucky you. Austpost tracking still has mine in Geelong. Australia post is the worst. I've had stuff shipped from Melbourne, California and Tokyo all on the same day with the stuff from Melbourne arriving days after the rest.

I shouldn't have bought that!
Aus post is laughable. Let me guess Popcultcha?
Yeah, aus post don't even attempt to deliver stuff to me lately, and just leave a collection slip even if I was home all day...
Poor customer service really!
I was thinking about attempting a RotJ futz but it looked like way too much for me to handle.
Great job!

Was thinking the same thing. That's not the HT right?
Beautiful!
Is it the Hong Kong Chewie Edition?

Is Cewie the 2.0?

Got my Chewie replacement head (on the left) today. Unfutzed. But thought I'd post the slight color variation. Definitely lighter. There was so much less glue on this one. To pull out the hair from the chin it took me 30 seconds to a minute, whereas the previous Chewie was so stiff under the chin that it took 10 minutes plus a little bit of water.

Yep, the 2nd run heads are lighter.
Did you get that directly thru Sideshow? Did you just say your Chewbacca head was too dark? I don't understand how people are getting replacement heads.

Wow, nice to finally see some undeniable proof of what people have been suspecting!
I can't remember anymore what my Chewie originally looked like, but I suspect it was probably more like your replacement head than the other one.

I got direct from Sideshow (had a single).
Mine had a knotted hard piece of black glue/probably the under structure that holds his fur that's right next to his nose on the left cheek. Couldn't be combed out. Can sort of see it on the first photo but it doesn't photograph well.
New Chewie isn't perfect as his right eye is a little bit crossed eyed compared with my first one, but what can you do, most seem a bit like that anyhow. Also has that forehead indent that someone else mentioned having, but maybe not as bad.
And here it is after some futzing. I specifically asked Sideshow for just the head and mentioned that it's indeed removable as I saw they were shipping bodies to some people.

Chewie's bandoleer looks longer in your photo. Did you do any mods to it?

^^No mods. Just pushed it down against his shoulder a little bit maybe. In this pose I was trying to make him as tall as possible as I was switching him to the shorter stand and figured he could fit in the detolf like that.
Hot Toys next Stormtrooper variant.

You can move his eyes and fix that cross eye thing they are on rods, just wedge something inside and move a little.

I may try that. I have to smash the old one so I'll experiment to get the hang of it beforehand.

It explains the second one I got, they are just all different. I saw a US release Chewie in Forbidden Planet in NYC yesterday and it was even darker than the two I have seen so far? Batches?
But look how worse the snout is on the replacement? It's out much further. Personally I think the one on the right looks a lot better.Got my Chewie replacement head (on the left) today. Unfutzed.
