Medicom/Enterbay ROTJ Han

[anwe]

Dunno, that's for the buyer to find out. I bought a figure for 14500 yen and that got up to $223 before I got it in my grubby little hands, but I got stung in customs with that package so it's probably not a good comparison.

There are some fees that are the same no matter the cost and then there is a percent fee, it differs between the different proxys. Some want to be payed in USD and other in Yen, so depending if you are in the US or not, you might want to use a different proxy.

Here is a spreadsheet that a guy on Arcade Otaku made for calculating the fees. I have no idea how accurate it is, and it seems it's not updated in the last year, but it might give you an estimate. I use From Japan mostly when i get stuff from Yahoo, and they have a calculator on their site. But coming from the US I think Shopping Mall Japan might be a better option for you. That is an american company (I think) that has a US warehouse and take the money in USD.

Ah! I thought you were planning on getting it!

 

[anwe]

No I already have it. But I remembered eczamurai wanted it, so thought I would bump the thread. Of if anyone else was interested. Several was sold on ebay for $160 shipped last summer so I think a few of us got it then.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Good of you to give us the link!

Yeah it is a really good sculpt. I think my biggest problem is just the way they sculpted the hair as this big shapeless mound on his head. It needs to be narrower on the sides or more messed up or something.

 

[Captain Britain]

Yeah it is a really good sculpt.

Really? All I can see is an inbred serial killer from somewhere remote and cold (it's those narrow eyes and the enormous forehead). Best Ford so far - I'd go so far as to say the only Ford - is Trevor's Indy, though the other Medi was okay.

The tervor grove indy was nice for it's time but to my eye it's just a cartoon caricature of ford. Even with a good repaint it's still just that, as is the older medi figure. The enterbay sculpt is far from perfect but captures fords slightly older look from ROTJ

I prefer that to no likeness at all - though obviously its all subjective.

It definatly looks like Ford! I just think he shouldn't look so far up, like the new Aragorn figure has the same problem. The hairline also could use a touchup to make it a more natural look, I would try using a small brush and painting a good hairline! Maybe even use some highlight in the hair would work wonders I think!

 

[Abrissbirne]

It looks better than the HT one, but still so far away from Han. There has to be a better sculpt out there.

 

[eczamurai]

Photoshopped a better hairline and his eyes positioned a smidge less psycho. Looks better IMO I suggest you attempt it.

EDIT: I would try dullcoating his hair, it appears a bit glossy, in all honesty I think the hairpiece throws the sculpt off the most, it's just not right somehow. His face is pure Ford, there's no denying it, apart from the expression it just oozes Ford. The hair desperately needs highlights mostly, it looks like a big brown turd atm. Needs the show the hairstrands more.

 

[davejames]

Yeah repainting the eyes and lightening the hair would make a huge difference, I think.

 

[Captain Britain]

Come on, this sculpt is horrific. The only decent Han sculpt ever is the first Medicom one, and that looks much better on a Trooper body.

Nice job with the tweaks

All opinions at the end of the day. For me it's best ford headsculpt out there by a long way. Check out the indy mod thread,someone customised this sculpt into an indy and it looks awesome!
