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

Not sure if they can be joined together but I went ahead and ordered a second Han which will now give me a backdrop for both and third stormtrooper with different height on a red stand. At least they’ll look like a set now even if they don’t join together.

Nice idea. This set is probably the best part out set ever available.

I've heard mixed stories on the joining of stands. It certainly looks like they can with those little flip out pieces, but some have said they can't. I guess you'll need to confirm that Sam. Worst case they can just stand beside each other.

You can indeed join the stands by removing The connectors. It’s detailed out in the included booklet.

Awesome! That’s gonna look sweet! Well there’s my answer Hoody!

 

[Creighton]

They flip up from each side but also can be removed to join. I didn’t know you popped them out originally. That was confusing me as each backdrop was the same. But yeah good deal!

Nice. Maybe I should open up the instructions once in awhile.

Thanks for the heads up!

The tabs are worthless, I unscrewed the bottom left tab on one of the background to leave the post exposed to attach a second wall. They are loose and do not attach together well. You can see the light leakage from the shot below. Essentially you can put two stands together for the same effectiveness. Just an FYI if anyone was thinking it would be a strong hold and seal. They definitely needed like 3 connectors for each wall side to hold it together tighter and more secure. A strip of electrical tape could mend the backs together and block out the light easily.

 

[D.R.37]

Would you say it’s not worth the effort of removing one of the tabs and just put the walls next to each other?

 

[hokietwo]

Definitely, I would suggest taking a strip of strong adhesive tape and just tape the displays. The wall stands well attached to the stand or without. To keep light from passing through would be the larger concern, for that the tape would suffice.

This figure is great as a Stormtrooper, just in that the proportions look really right on it. Height seems to match most of their other troopers a bit better—Sandtrooper, Snowtrooper, and gunner. Didn’t hold on to the Han sculpt but glad I kept my order for sure.

Good to know Hokie

Finally got to open mine this weekend. My wife was going to hold it till Christmas but decided to give it to me for my birthday instead!

I’ll just reiterate what everyone has been saying. The figure overall is great. The smirk isn’t so in-your-face as it is in photos. Looks fine when viewed at a normal distance. But this is essentially a stormtrooper so there really isn’t that much to it! I took a few quick photos and will try and post them tonight.

My figure’s head is pretty wobbly. Anyone else have that problem? I know people have mentioned that problem when they swap heads and put the stormie head on the smuggler body. But Han’s stormie head is wobbly on the stormie body. I’m not going to bother returning it or replacing it. That would be more trouble than it’s worth to me. But just wondering if anyone else has found that same issue with theirs.

Is it the helmet on the black peg, or the peg in the body which is loose/wobbly ??

P.S looking forward to pics.

It's just how it came straight out of the box. I didn't swap out the head. It's the smirky Han head on the Stormie body. I did try and smoosh it down onto the neck, thinking maybe it wasn't on the whole way. But it didn't really help. And I also tried to pull it out slightly so maybe the ball would create more friction against the hole. But it stayed the same. The only thing that sorta works is just smooshing it down so the opening of the head is tight against the neck itself.

Weird — no such issues on mine.

Great pics! Captures the sculpt as it looks in hand, which to me, is terrific.

Just got an email from a second local retailer who I had pre-ordered through that had a distributer which couldn't commit to securing the product.

Sure glad Sideshow still had available stock.
