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

[Jar-Jar Stinks]

Zero futz, right out of the BBTS box! Sorry about the no bandalier look.

I think I may have gotten one of the lighter heads!

you may have gotten a lighter body, looks like he's been on the beach for a week.

Sorry man, but i think the fur on that body looks very poor. It doesn't even seem to be clumped on the arms properly. Did you do anything to it or is that straight out of the box?

Here's my review of the Chewbacca figure in the two-pack. Hot Toys have done an amazing job with this figure, and it's definitely my candidate for figure of the year! Love it! Hope you can check out the review

A couple more shots of mine. One of my favorites.

Ironically, the clumped arms (especially the shoulders) were the first areas I brushed out. They were blaring! They looked like a kid used it as a Kleenex.

Looks great you must have got one of the batch 2 snot covered chews. I was referring to the lack of structure on his arms. I can see you got a bit back in with your fingers on your arms.

I just unpacked my Han & Chewie set today. I saw my Chewie needed some lightening around the eyes, so I broke out the acrylic modeling paints. After it was dry, I lightly brushed on some baby oil to revive the hair sheen. All in all, I think it improved the likeness. Here are the results.

Yes, "Zero futz, right out of the BBTS box". Could this be one of the second batch lighter heads or no..?

^^ That "after" pose seems to be the winner for Chewy - the slight look down hides the snout/chin issues and the head tilt gives it the personality.

Nice buddy. Great to see you post some pics.

Wor Gar has a lot to answer for.

so what you trying to say that he is eddies dog snots from Christmas vacation

 

[Clau]

I totally agree with you.

The fact that Hot Toys was able to accomplish a faux fur Chewie of this caliber is truly impressive and worthy of figure of the year honors.

Is it 100%? Not exactly, but it's easily 95% "Chewbacca".

My thoughts exactly, it is no easy feat. The figure looks great, kind of wish I po this, Han looks lonely now.

So many light faces now, am I wrong?

Honestly, I think it's just fur variance. I saw some of the new ones in hand and one was darker than mine one exactly the same. And you can't tell by photos.
It's that weird colour that photographs strangely. There are simply more of them being made giving up more variance IMO. If it was a conscious change all the newer batches would be lighter, but they are not, right?

I'm blaming you for all this by the way.

No, you're not wrong.

The mass 'light face' mania.
