1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 262 - Star Wars Episode IV - 1/6th scale Chewbacca Collectible Figure

[YankeesFanboy]

Chewie's eyes are too beady and close together, his mouth is off and the fur on his face is a total mess. I don't feel the novelty factor is enough, at the moment, to convince me to buy.

 

[Patriot666]

In a nutshell; the head & face look like an imploding butt hole right now.

Still, nothing's worse than an exploding butt hole.

 

[TaliBane]

still looks like luke duke to me

I'm gettin' a David Dutch-oveny vibe from the '77 press photo now.

I thought they looked fine.

chewie looks ok but this is a prototype don't know what the production will be like. or maybe the same but will still get it anyways

I think the hair color is pretty accurate to how it looks in the solo promo shoot

Mouth, chin and eyes are all off on HT sculpt. Hair is too high.

I think one thing thats making him kind of wonky looking is the fact they have the hair from the sides and chin pressed so tight to the neck area. A bit too bulky around the snout area too. Its a tough build no matter who has this...........i cant imagine the qc nightmare to maintain a consistency at the numbers ht will make........

Looks like Chewy had some dental work before the doors opened.

 

[generalgrevious]

here is a head sculpt of Chewbacca I did 4 and a half years ago. if this head does not turn out great I might finish mine. I just need to finish the lip color and add little more fur under the chin/lip area

This is H's attempt from a long time back

Yep, I think a little futzing and this will look a lot better in hand. If any production figure ever deserved a little slack it's this one.

I have a bad feeling the final figures are going to be all over the place!

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

I trust HT wouldn't ship them if they come out bad. They'll be fine.

 

[Matt S]

I thought they looked fine.

And, that, is the problem. My butt ugly sister with one eye and one leg looked 'fine'

Who wants 'fine?'

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

Put "damn" in front of fine and it changes everything.

 

[mrshurricane]

Restyling the fur may make a huge difference I can't wait to get this here and reach for the styling products , this is mine ,
HE can keep his mitts off!

Isn't that one of Mark's that he futzed? I have one myself from 2005.

I hope the final product doesn't end up looking like the old Don Post Chewie masks. Remember the ones they use to sell in Starlog magazine. In the photo the mask looked like the movie prop, and then you'd see it in the flesh and it looked like dryer lint with teeth.

The QC consistency point is a very valid one, & one I've harped on about since before this figure was even announced & we were speculating in that 'Real Fur Chewie?' thread. Part of me wants to get on board with the faux fur, but the realist in me says, keep your money - there will be PLENTY of returns on this thing.. followed by folks receiving 'returned' figures as replacements, & the vicious circle of disappointment begins.

This character can so totally be made in a flexible plastic/pvc type medium as far as overlapping fur to cover the joints etc, & retain sculpt accuracy at the same time. I'll be buggered if I'm gonna get the little hairbrush out every time something needs futzing, let alone what I imagine some might resort to with hair spray or any number of styling/shaping products to keep the figure looking right. The more you **** around with a figure like this, the more you reduce it's longevity.

This kind of a figure sounds good.. on paper. Translate it to thousands of units assembled boxed & shipped out - buyer beware.

I agree. But they did a pretty good job with Planet of The Apes. That and Avengers 1: Black Widow hair give me hope, they had that styled and set pretty solidly.
It's gonna be a fun thread regardless!!

I'm getting two and I'm back-combing the **** out of one of them.
