Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

Did he have two-tone gloves in the movie?

Yes. The 'sleeve' is an extra piece attached to the hand:

Enhanced the pics a bit - these are really small images.

Looks like the face just below the eyes isn't as distorted as the hatted head.

What I think looks wonky apart from the eyes, is that crazy hood fur.

It just looks bouffant & out of control.

Not even the goggles hide the crazy eyes.

Well you could always frost the goggles over a bit, to give it more of that wintery Hoth look.

In fact, regardless of the eye issue, I think that might actually be a cool mod to do on this...

 

[TaliBane]

Who's this guy? Hunting seals I think.

Hmm, looking at the pics again, there's like three different shades of blue there. Really hoping the blue we get is either in the darker one or the more muted one shown with the accessories....

Either way, I'm liking it more than the brown at the moment.

 

[Kamandi]

Whew. I was really having second thoughts on this today. The hat-head anime eyes nearly made me cancel, but the indoor head nails Ford's likeness (for ROTJ, but that's still better than Hot Toys did)

 

[Wor-Gar]

This works.

 

[Pixelpiper]

This works.

Best stunt double likeness ever.

Sideshow did state:

...an update showing the final production of our Han Solo Sixth Scale Figures

So presumably it's all the same coat under different lighting?

But Sideshow did also state that production photos would be shown first to those who had him on pre-order - so we know they speak with a forked tongue!

Despite the wonky eyes and apparent head deformation, it is still more clearly Ford than the HT version, IMO.

where are you guys finding the new photos?

EDIT: nevermind.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I dunno. Looks like another caricature of a human SW character. Typical Sideshow. 2005 quality at 4 times the price. I had to cancel this one.

2005?

Was there a decline in quality between 2005 and 2008?

 

[Wor-Gar]

My eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please warn us when you post something like that.

Apparently so.

 

[momaw]

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

Maybe he's snow blind.

Hibernation sickness.

Hot damn I'm excited about this one. I think he looks great in those pics. TaunTaun has now become a must for me to switch up between Han and Luke.
