We need some low lighting pics to see that light saber better.

i think the head sculpt is fine.

Wow, those are some good looking pics. Thanks for sharing.

Is he holding the lighted lightsaber too low when only using it one handed?

Man, I bet the Kool Aid company really wishes Jim Jones had shopped differently in 1978.



I was one of the first to call the SSC Han Hoth a random eskimo dude but bought the figure anyway. People buy figures for different reasons - but this "haters gonna hate" thing just stifles opinion and ultimately, makes the thread pretty boring and monotonous. Does anyone really want one type of opinion? Maybe it makes some people uncomfortable to spend $220 on something others say looks nothing like the character, but that's just self doubt.

Nobody here will argue this is HT's finest hour in the likeness department, but as always it's a staggeringly lifelike sculpt, so hard not to like on some level. It's one thing you can always count on with HT. Parts of the costume don't look like they are an upgrade over the SSC version, but it's still a very solid release.

Actually, it was Flavor-aid, not Kool-aid. Kool-Aid has been taking the hit on this for decades.

Those photos from Secret Base?

Niiiice! I wish that tunic material wasn't so thin though. I think that's my biggest nit for his clothes.

 

[FlyAndFight]

That figure definitely could use the SS Ben outfit to update it. That see-thru tunic is pathetic and the stitching on collar is awful...

As for the headsculpt, it's got a decent paint app but it's nowhere near the "Alfred / Michael Caine" level of capturing the actor.

Those of you griping about the criticism are either newbs or missing the whole point of these forums - it's purely entertainment. Keep 'em comin'!!!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Yep, without having this in hand, so far it looks like the SS tunic and undershirt is better. That's saying a lot too since I usually prefer HT tailoring and materials over SS by a long shot.

The collar is really crappy.

The robes look like lingerie. Which is a creepy thought to even be typing.

The face keeps changing. Looks a wee bit like Fred Armisen here.

Or Obi-Juan Kenobi.

Reminds me of Richard Chamberlain there.

Glad I didn't order this guy. Looks like it going to be yet another parts battle. Anyone steals ****e outta my shopping cart this time and I'll show up at your door with a loaded M16.

Yikes. Hopefully just a 1:6 scale M16.

I think you're bluffing

(takes belt, saber hilt, and boots out of your cart and runs)

Gun laws are pretty strict here. I might be able to get a slingshot.
