Sorry LOTRFan, I was only thinking about the 1/6 figure... I would imagine that it might be a **little** easier to get realistic looking fur in 1/4.
 
I'm in the camp with "furred" Chewbacca.

It won't be perfect, and there are numerous problems packing a furry Chewie so his hair doesn't get shaped in weird ways, but a sculpted Wookie just wouldn't have the same appeal. It may look perfect in its primary pose, but what happens when you raise the arm and the hair flow goes against gravity? Or the "rubber" body tweaks in places?

Honestly, there are as many problems with a sculpted or "rubber" body suit version as there is with a haired version. The plus for the furry one is that you can comb out and futz the hair to make it look correct. Just like futzing clothing, 'grooming' Chewbacca is just part of the fun of having this figure.
 
Thats a go0d point... the sculpted fur would be pretty much specific to one pose. I wonder how much a fully furred Chewie would cost?

I really don't mind... C'mon Sideshow, you know this year is Star Wars A New Hope 30th Anniversary... we need Chewie in Premium Format form as Han, Luke, Leia and Obi Wan are so lonely without their furry and I mean "FURRY" Friend. Please Sideshow make :chew Premium Format Figure with real fur.

Wor-Gar's custom Chewie is the best I've ever seen. So, instead of hoping that SSC will make a 1/6 Rancor, I'll be wishing for a descent Chewie from SSC.

Exclusive item must be an afro comb, black power handle edition (clinched fist) - thx to Customikey for the inspiration.

You know, if sideshow can't pull off a furry Chewie in 1/6 scale due to mass that's somewhat understandable. But if they can't make a 1/4 scale chewie with fur than I am going to be really mad.

No, I know. I definately want him made in the PF and with fur. :chew Hopefully something exotic, like off of the endangered list.

Does anyone else remember that thread?! :confused: :rotfl :lol Sideshow = bad for the enviornment.

I only want a furred Chewie if he comes with an afro comb and some barrets.

I'd get two furry Chewies.

ONe regular, and do the other one up in corn-rows
 
Gotta be real hair for me. If they used one of the other options and it looked good, I'd happily pick it up but would be hair in the ideal world
 
I personally love this one,I would ,Its mine, created by the fur-god who created Wor gars,and Ive seen his latest project, just as fine....

I beat the smart kids, I beat the smart kids....I bent my Wookie.

What's a diaroma? I would say that IF they could make the fur look as good as that custom thats what I want but if not then a sculpted would be better than a half ass real fur.

HOw much would you guys pay if it was to be made of FUR???:chew

I would hope it wouldn't go past $150... which would seem reasonable with a larger body and all the inherent work of a furred figure. But in all honesty, a collection of SW isn't a collection w/o Chewie... so I'd pay (pretty much) whatever it cost :monkey2
 
Here is my real fur Chewie created by the same guy who did Wor Gar's and Hurricane's
