1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: Episode IV - Han Solo (Stormtrooper Disguise)

[generalgrevious]

yeah I was just saying to my self why are there three threads about this figure?

 

[demorathis]

It's just copy and pasted from Hot Toys' Facebook post (press release, etc.).

It's kind of annoying at the moment--there are three different threads talking about this figure. Hard to keep track of what is in what, but an "official" thread was started with all that info and pics.

I don't do Facebook. I saw this featured on figures.com and it wasn't even featured on rebelscum yet. Plus not much pics on this thread. So I posted the link to the copy of the press release, Facebook post etc etc...

I thought this was the "official" thread..isn't it?..started 2016....

Damn, thats about 30.00 more than i expected.

 

[Wor-Gar]

$243 and a year away.





$243 must be the "Completist Price" to get the set.

I'll wait for the reissued two-pack.

I'd only want this as an ANH Sormtrooper that I missed out on back when. The detailed helmet is cool, and light up back drop is interesting, but not sure on price. I could turn a spacetrooper into a regular trooper for like $150 off ebay as I already have an extra chest piece. Hmmm...... An extra $100 for parts I likely won't even use or see inside the helmet...

 

[BurningRage]

Ordered. It's not limited to one per person.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Price is even more than Luke was I believe.

They no doubt could have charged me even more to complete the set. With this being a year away I'm not sure that two pack is going to work out for the holdouts. Maybe in 4-5 years after they have squeezed all they can out of episode 9

Hot Toys Exclusive - Dirk Diggler as a Stormtrooper! Star Wars fanatics shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to add this special version of Dirk Diggler to your treasured collection!

You'd think they'd throw us a bone with the price tag considering 95% of the figure has been reused multiple times.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's the oddest part.

But that's why I call this "Completist Pricing".

Watch Zuckuss come in at $279.99 to finish off your bounty hunters.

I need it!! Ordered. Sorry guys. I'm driving up costs. I have Luke too.

Folks fall into two camps on this figure...people who have Stormtrooper Luke and know that Luke and Han will look excellent together on display...and people who missed out on Stormtrooper Luke and are now obligated to hate this Han figure...

 

[TurdFurgusonsHat]

I like the sculpt ok but definitely not perfect. I have only seen one sculpt that is bang-on Ford and it isn't the Hasselho...I mean jnix. It's the old man.

What about the people who have the Stromtrooper Luke and still aren't crazy about smirky new Han?

I think it looks fine enough, but it's yet another lost opportunity from HT. The possibility of a brand new Han Solo sculpt - and instead they took their old/meh Han headsculpt and gave him a kinda silly smirk (and also awkwardly/unconvincingly added some brown to the previous black hair apps.)

I plan on swapping the headsculpts between smuggler and trooper.

I haven't ordered yet, but I was thinking maybe doing the same thing. Depends on how the stormie Han sculpt looks like in hand. He doesn't look so bad from the left, depending on the angle he's viewed from my shelf it might work. We'll see.

Don't have Luke trooper. I did buy a hot toys Luke and Han headsculpt to swap out the heads on my SS Luke and Han trooper. Man I am hating this release. Should have been a damn two pack originally. May just put the heads on my hot toys stormtrooper 2 pack since SS bodies suck big time.
