Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[DiFabio]

Hot Toys should commission portraits by Trevor.

Is Han wearing other pants under the Hoth Pants?

Nope.

I wonder if Trevor sculpted the eyes with the thought that they'd be looking slightly up,

That certainly makes a lot of sense and the eyes look much more natural that way - with the lids expected to be up-rolled like that. At least that's precisely what happens to my own eyelids if I look slightly up like that.

I wonder if Trevor sculpted the eyes with the thought that they'd be looking slightly up, because it isn't so jarring on the prototype.

Yeah I think it's a combination of cutting a bit too much out of the lower eyelids, and having the eyes facing straight ahead instead of slightly up like in the proto. Each might be only off a tiny amount, but sometimes that's all it takes to completely change a figure's expression.

They should. Would love to see one of his scupts get treated as it deserves.

Well I hope this figure needs fewer than Snake to look good. The underlying sculpt looks good. I am concerned with SS on the accessories and clothing however--this was a BIG problem with Snake.

Thanks Para for answering my pants question too

Someone needs to repaint the eyes looking up and with smaller irises to see if the sculpt can still be salvaged.

I was going to post a pic of Jerry Lewis as an Asian saying that Trevor could disguise himself but every picture on Google is so freaking offensive.

Honestly I think it's the best production Han I've seen yet. The eyes are a little big, but overall I think it looks great, and the face is easily recognizable as Han Solo.

I'm gonna go ahead and and go against the grain here and say "good job Sideshow" on this one - might just make an exception to my "villain only" rule and pick him up - bet it'll look great on the taun-taun.

 

[IrishJedi]

Yeah, it'll look perfect on the Tauntaun with that huge-ass seam running all the way around its neck.

That explains everything! He's completely shocked over that weird seam in his Tauntaun neck [emoji2]

 

[Reefer Shark]

at least you can't see the seam from one side - my glass is half full! haha

seriously though, I think Han here looks nice regardless of the taun taun, but then again I'm not super picky with this stuff

 

[Captain Britain]

No ****ing eyelids... now I know why it looks like he's had plastic surgery in the eye area, and the 'creepiness factor' of this figure just went up by a factor of 10.

This is the end for human figures from Sideshow, right? No company should be selling a $200 figure that requires you to draw on your own eyelids. I mean, come on.

Which is perfectly valid! If you like it, great.

I just keep imagining someone in the factory cutting his eyelids off.

Shhhh. Don't let Harrison Ford hear you because he also doesn't have any eyelids and is sensitive about that. See him smiling in that photo just a few posts back? Let's keep him that way or he might send his furry friend over and he's not much of a talker.

 

[TonTon]

Thanks for more great pics! This is one of the best so far. I still plan to check this out in hand. It's instantly recognizable as Ford, and there are lots of ways to display the figure so I think it'll have to look good in one of those ways.
