Yeah, probably just too much whine.
Did Harmy really change up the coloration that much from his first version? Because it was definitely leaning more towards blue in that one.
Hopefully he didn't alter the colors so much it no longer even looks particularly cold on Hoth anymore, like in that other, overly color-corrected video that was going around. Because I really doubt that was the feel Lucas and Kershner were going for with those scenes.
Nope, still brown:

That was made beacause people swore the scene was originally even bluer than the SE, DVD, and BR, which is clearly not the case.
Yeah I think you might be right. Out of curiosity I just dug up my old 1995 VHS and played it on my old picture tube TV (can't believe the crappy picture quality we used to put up with back then by the way!), and the coat is definitely looking a lot more brown than I remembered. In fact even when he's out in the snow on his tauntaun it still looks distinctly brown! Which I was not expecting at all.

Only problem is I already made my first flex payment on the blue. Hopefully the Sideshow help desk will be understanding and be willing to shift that payment over to the brown version instead (since it's still essentially the same figure I'm buying).
Of course considering how many cancellations they probably get every week, I'm sure they'll be happy I'm just buying anything at all.

Follow your heart... and get a parted out Brown coat. Remember the Blue is only available from sideshow but the brown in the mass market release.

If people really want the blue coat for nostalgic reasons then definitely get the blue thru SS and pick up a brown from Toy Anxiety or ebay. Blues will probably cost a lot more and be much harder to get since so fewer are being made.
Really odd why people here -- who will combat every little exact detail everywhere else -- want the incorrect coat color to this day because of a horrible little toy from their childhood when they didn't know better. So many of the Hasbro toys had incorrect colors, why wouldn't Hoth Han?
I wish Sideshow would have just included both coats as part of their exclusive rather than having us choose.
Blue all the way. It always looks blue on screen, therefore blue is screen accurate.
I mean, if a bunch of behind the scenes shots showed that Boba Fett's costume was actually composed of shades of pink you wouldn't buy a pink Boba Fett figure would you? You'd buy what you saw on screen.
