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

[dukefett]

why are people buying so many? To army build, or to flip and part out?

If you want more backdrops or more troopers it's the most cost effective way. I think you'd be close to getting most of your money back selling the 2/3 items (Han sculpt, complete trooper, backdrop) that you don't want. I'm considering it for another backdrop; I wish they sold them separately.

Mine is flawless — smooth seams, uniform finish.

I’ve received 3 of these from sideshow and they have all had the same issue. The shoulder armor is a slightly different white than the rest of the armor.

Did you feed that back to Sideshow and what was the outcome?

The only issue Iv had is one of my stormtrooper helmets had bad paint application
I got in touch with sideshow and they were great about it.
Had to smash the original helmet and send pics but they sent a perfect replacement version within a wk-to the U.K.

Not had any other issues with any of the others.

I’ve had it with Sideshow’s Customer Service. Initially I purchased a second one for a second base and backdrop. When I received the second one wouldn’t you know the backdrop had a few small scratches on it. So I contacted SS sent them pictures and waited for them to send me a replacement. After waiting 2 weeks I received the replacement and it was in worse shape than the original one. As far as the armor goes I never contacted them regarding it because after 3 figures I thought that this was just how the figure was. And it’s a slight difference, so to be honest they probably wouldn’t do much about it. I mean they couldn’t even get the backdrop replacement right and that was obvious. My last figure I purchased from BBTS and that was a great experience. And I preordered Palpatine and Royal Guard from Timewalker. I used to buy exclusively from SS because of the customer service, but lately I have been very disappointed with them.

I got onto the live chat last night and they said 'we'll reply within next 24hrs by e-mail'
True enough they mailed last night requesting more photos and details of the weapon which I forgot to mention was separated at the bolt hinge on the shoulder stock. Also some photos of the two boots which has one glossy bright white and the other a matte grey (in comparison). Trying to get the right camera light to show it is a bit difficult but I'll keep on with it and update as I get more.

Glad you got a hold of them, Just take lots of shots of the issues.
They’ve always been great when Iv had a problem and they normally come to a resolution within 24 hrs after contacting them. But definitely live chat is the way to speed up the process if you do have a problem.
Hope it gets sorted for you mate

My latest one of these is the first that’s got through U.K. customs without incurring the £50 customs charge!
They called me asking if it was “personal use” obviously told them Yes and I got it without any custom fees!
A first for sideshow delivering to me in the U.K.

For you guys that order frequently from SS directly, on average how long does your order stay in the "payment processing" phase?

Thanks guys. Mine changed after 12 hrs or so, just don't remember it taking that long in the past. Anywho, Stormie Han should be here Thursday!!! Can't wait to swap the head on it and my ANH Han, those of you that have and posted pics it looks amazing!!! I forgot who posted the following pic as I've saved so many lately but props to who ever it was.

I did the peg-less swap, looks fine for static poses. Try with ST peg too!

How do you get the neck peg out? I pulled on it pretty hard but I’m afraid I’m going to break something.

The hair dryer trick worked for me.
