great episode

Moving these up for those (like myself) who are just joining this tonight...thanks as awlays to paramoremcr88 for this early "in-hand" look....

Here's a few to go on with

​

Those "right outta the box" ones are pretty jarring to say the least. Gotta agree with folks about those eyes. The sculpt is so good! It's like they just bored a couple holes in it and stuck the marbles in there. Ouch....probably doesn't look quite so intense once in hand (hopefully) as it does with these extreme close-ups.

But then we break into that ole' para-magic with that last set....and he's looking pretty good here. Outfit looks futzable, jacket inside is a cool touch (now we're sure it's a jacket and not just a vest? It's got sleeves too, right?) I also wish the gloves and shin guards had been handled a bit differently (one-piece gloves, wraps for shins) but I'm hoping the paint on them looks good enough to pull them away from that overly plastic look.

I really want to see this on the tauntaun...and like everyone else, I'm very anxious to see that other portrait. Here's hoping the eyes aren't too Stepford-y looking there too...

Thanks again to para for this early look and if he wants to post more pics, well...they'll be appreciated, that's for sure!

Based on the few, early pics, it does seem like it could have been a lot worse. But damn, it would be nice if SSC could work these kinks out and figure out a way to better replicate their prototypes. Even if the paint isn't up to snuff, the head and facial dimensions should be closer than this IMO.

I'd like to see how he looks with the goggles down.

New photos are up on the blog with the goggles down. Also a good picture of the snow base. I used the link in the product page near the bottom. Eyes are definitely bigger on the hooded head, I'd like to see a better shot of the extra head, they don't look as bad there. I wonder of the headgear is squeezing his head a bit.

Please stop using that eye system Sideshow

It looks good in those pics but I notice there are no close ups of either head.

Yeah, the extra head looks pretty good... maybe there is some squish happening to the helmeted head. But at the same time, small images with dramatic lighting so it's a bit hard to say.

At least he's not a Drake, but there is still room for Sideshow to improve.

 

[Khev]

Not even the goggles hide the crazy eyes.

 

[The Ween]

Still looks better than the Han in the Chewy set.

 

[kl241]

Han has the same typical deer-in-headlights expression as every SS human sculpt.

 

[The Ween]

Not even the goggles hide the crazy eyes.

Maybe he's snow blind.

 

[davejames]

I'm crossing my fingers that they kept the eyes narrower on the extra head, in order to give them slightly different expressions or something. Yeah, that's it!

 

[Kamandi]

OK, the head with hair still looks decent and saves it for me.

 

[Khev]

Looks like he got left at the bus stop and is about to snap.

You almost have to go with this pose to match the expression.

The extra head does look good.

The eyes also don't look as big or as glassy on the regular head in these staged shots, and I think that shows how much better it will look once on display.

Not even the goggles hide the crazy eyes.

It doesn't look too bad to me here, which is about life size for the figure:

 

[davejames]

Wow, this shot actually looks pretty badass. And it's the most that sculpt has ever looked like HF as well.

Also really loving the color of blue here.
