Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[Pixelpiper]

I think he's slightly underscaled as ford is taller than hamill if im not mistaken.

Yup, Ford should be noticeably taller than Hamill (reportedly 6'1" versus under 5'9"), but HT's Luke is also a bit too tall.

Looks like someone else was interested in the actors' heights too:

Here he is his next to bespin luke

Thanks for the pic!

That is very strange about the height. I wonder if Sideshow used the shorter Pro that they used on their Indys. It seems like a strange choice especially since they have Hoth Luke coming. I guess we'll know what body was used for sure once Luke arrives and seeing how he measures up.

Great pictures SV!!

My wife has a winter parka, with very similar fur to the actual costume fur that was in ESB, I am eyeing that up for a stealth slicing and transplant to this figures hood when I get it in--my wife will kill be but....

 

[SithThundercracker]

Could be they're just too lazy to use different ankle pegs (not asking for a whole different body)?

 

[Kamandi]

Nice pics Stealth. It's good to read this figure is turning out too be better in hand than early pics would suggest. Reminds me of HT Bespin Luke. Early reaction was not kind, became a must have.

So what's the deal with the hatless head - anyone got one out there to set up with the Bespin jacket yet or what??

Kind of a shame they couldn't have made the Sequel Trilogy back when they still looked like that.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Great pics of Han! Looking good.

True, but then Lucas would have been involved and... Well, it's like a glass half empty or half full kind of thing.

Thanks for doing that Mark, yeah slightly undersized but not a problem at all I'd say.

Oh, yeah... good point. We definitely wouldn't have wanted that.

Yeah Han seems to hold up rather well next to the HT figure. At least from a distance.

Really happy they started adding nice skin texture with Rex and now Han. I remember someone mentioning a "development" with Han and maybe that's what they were referring to.

No one has received this from sideshow yet so no exclusives floating around. Hopefully those will ship soon.

Well it certainly wasn't the eyes.

Yeah the skin texture helps quite a bit to overcome the flat and overly dark paintjob. But if the likeness looks this good now, I can only imagine how much better it would look with a great repaint.

That closeup pic posted earlier really shows it off nicely!

Ford is 6'-1" and Hamill is 5'-9", if you look at where their chins are (Bottom of Ford's chin is where Hamill's mouth is) Ford is taller, so it actually looks like they're to scale...

I planned to do a body swap so it should all shake out in the end.

Do not trust internet for actor heights.

Do not trust internet for actor heights.

Also one of the reasons I used the word "reportedly" when I mentioned the heights, as I don't believe Hamill was ever 5'9" bare foot.
