Qi-Ra is one I doubt we'll see from this.

No Qi, no Enfys, no L3, no Beckett, no Val... possibly no Lando (since no OT Lando yet either).

Not even sure if we'll get Chewbacca since it looks like they used a TFA Chewie for pictures.

This could be like so many HT releases -- one-and-done title-card hero figure -- like Deadpool, Jack Sparrow, Dr. Strange, SpiderMan, etc, etc...

I'm thinking this might be it for this movie too. They announced the figures so late, it seems like an afterthought and are just releasing these two half-heartedly. Especially poor Chewie!

 

[MACHone]

I don't think that's the Force Awakens Chewbacca. Chewie has his new y bandolier in the images with Han. Also agreed Chewie's face is a whole new level of aweful, even worse than the last release.

I really think the sculpt is terrific. I had no desire to buy this but I think it's a really great looking release now and am tempted. Amazing how we all see things so differently. I'll see if I like the movie tonight.

Another thing throwing it off for me is the lanky aspect of the figure. Alden as Han doesn't have a long neck and is rather short looking in the promo pics I've seen. JC put up pics and everyone's drinking the Kool Aid except me.

Can't wait to not get this.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I wish this movie would win me over so that I would want to get this. That would be a great feat.

I'll know Saturday.

Enjoy your new Han Solo, millennials.

Thanks, we will.

The figure looks more like Han than the actor.

I thought the same thing, nothing against Alden but this figure actually looks like it could be a young Han.

Saw the film for the second time tonight and Alden has really sold me on his interpretation of Han. This figure is a must for my collection now.

Yeah I saw it last night. Personally I didn't have any comparison to Harrison Ford going on in my mind. This was the "Young" Han Solo. He's a different person. No issue !!

Did you like the movie?

I always thought the "200 year old Wookie" thing was a rounded off number for ease of flow. You know, like maybe he was actually 207 years olds.

But this movie that takes place 10 years before ANH actually has Han state "You're 190?"... which I find goofy -- being so literal. Now if Han said "You're nearly 200?" I'd be OK with that. Minor quibble... but its those kinds of things which add up over time.

I think they just took an old TFA Chewbacca which they had lying around, added a different bandolier, scrubbed up the fur on his face a bit and pulled out the lips.

Bamm !! Done !!

Yeah I thought it was

Spoiler

good. Not excellent, not bad. Somewhere in between. I'd give it a 6 or 7 /10 I think.

Not as good as Rogue One I thought.

As someone mentioned Ron Howard films can be a bit bland. There were parts in it which I thought were a bit like that.

Fell in love with Amelia Clarke. Not sure why, I guess she's just hot. Somehow didn't buy that storyline somehow. But I guess there could be potentially more to come.

He's up on KGhobby. $206 for the regular, 223 for the deluxe.

That's a pretty decent price. Shows HT lack of confidence too imo !

It’s not a bad Han outfit. Unfortunately it’s attached to that actor in that movie but if we tweak it just a bit...

Like I said. That's a Solo us old timers could enjoy. No reason to have poor Han wearing the same outfit every day. Not like he's a superhero with a costume and all...

Just had a read through some of the FB comments for this figure. Always a laugh.

Seems there were more comments about people wanting Cable than anything else

I'd like a Cable too !

 

[CrankbaitJon]

I asked for a Range Trooper and Mud Trooper in the comments LOL
