Dang it choombaz! I was already talking myself away from this and then you sent me that! lol. heavily considering it, thanks! How is ordering from popcultcha?

Ha! Sorry!
I’m a local, so shipping is super fast and free for me so can’t help much with international shipping but otherwise they are great. Prices can be expensive but I didn’t realise Chewie was on special I just knew they still had in stock as I’m often checking their inventory. Customer service is pretty outstanding too.

Ah well if he's on special then that's a pretty good sign Solo Chewie is coming soon.

Will be interesting to see if I upgrade or not.

I’m toying with the idea of taking off all the fur on the head sculpt. Has anyone done this with some success?

Going from ANH to Solo is not upgrading....

Why would you want to do that ?

I’ve been dry brushing the Headsculpt to get closer to this look

But still getting some inconsistencies. I peeled back the chin slightly and put some foam to full it a bit, then it got me thinking [emoji848]

Decided to jump right in. Hated the way the paint turned out.

Trying to think of ways to fix the chin, mouth and snout area

Sweet Jesus ! Is the fur still attached to a base layer or something ? Or in a pile somewhere ?

There’s a base layer [emoji3] I’m going to see if I can tackle it in a similar fashion to this

Good luck, I've done this and it was worth all the effort.

Thanks bud! Any pointers would be great! Love the way your Chewie’s mouth and snout turned out. What did you do to the sculpt?

OK, that's not bad at all ! If you get some info from Paul I'd love to know a bit more what mods were done to the sculpt, and how the skin+fur goes back on.

May even be game enough to try this myself if there was a bit of info to work with.

Just brought Chewie and the fur is very dark. Can anyone recommend a non permanent way of lightening the fur?

 

[Hoody999]

Many have used pastels applied to the fur, which is a relatively non-permanent method I believe. Plenty of pics of this in the last 869 pages

Hi everyone.
I got the Han+Chewbie set, and before gettint started on them, I am trying to gather as much wisdom as available.
Any of you savvy ones who have been there since this thread's inception, willing to summarize any tips/tricks/issues/fixes/conclusions/best practices/whatever regarding this particular fig?

To begin with, I'll dare say that the head is way to big, isn't it? Too much forefront, I'd say.
At the same time, eyes seem too dark/small/deeply seated, right?
Any durability problems with the fur, anyone?

Thanks everyone!
Best,
m.
