Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[Pixelpiper]

It was my bank's email that told me I was charged. Haven't got an email from sideshow yet though =/

Go on their site, log in and check your order status. Boom, then you'll know.

Yeah I'd say these are definitely the best the eyes have looked on this head. And they're also looking up much more than others we've seen, which helps quite a bit as well (and makes him look a whole lot less creepy, IMO).

Damn it's for the shadow trooper =/

Yeah, that's the best production one we've seen. Nice non-distorted pics too. Makes a world of difference.

That's a good looking ex head. I'm glad to see that

IGN has a review out of Han and Luke. The unhatted head sculpt they have looks just like the SS promo photos.
Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back - Unboxing Luke Skywalker & Han Solo Hoth Figures - IGN Video

Getting a bit sick of the myth that the only reason people thought the coat was blue was because of the Kenner figure.

Luke towers over Han... oops.

Everyone better start loading up on slims before they're gone.

Too bad it's only the Bespin coat underneath and not the pants as well so you can make a custom Bespin Han..oh well

I wonder if the TT body with the Gyenthall head sculpt would be best to replace this with the crappy pro. I would think the muscle Arnold type version is too big for Ford.

I knew that ex non hooded head would be deal breaker for me on the likeness of Ford. I'm pleased. I bet a lot of people are probably kicking themselves for getting the regular version now. Seems the exclusive is a must for this piece.

Looks to be the best licensed Han yet. Can't wait.

That focal length chart above should be must-read material prior to joining Freaks.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Wor-Gar again.

It's a great bonus for those who have the original Han Bespin though.

I got the same for you.

 

[TaliBane]

Yep, Han looks terrific in the IGN video. EX head looks stellar.

Jeez this has been a long bumpy ride. "Awesome!" - "Terrible!" - rinse and repeat.

Unfortunately I missed that version. Oh well, I wonder if the clothes are available on ebay

I picked up the entire figure loose on Rebelscum for $30 not six months ago. They're out there! The pants, shirt, belt, gun belt and blaster are decent enough to make a fine custom Bespin Han!

TTM19, pretty pricy. Just use a TTM18 knock-off, there are usually dozens on eBay at any one time. For Luke it will be best to find a slim type body and then maybe try to shorten it further - depending on whether it's a taller or shorter slim to begin with - they much less common that the TTM18 Narrow Shoulder variants.

Fortunately for me I have a spare TT slim that was used for the HT Bespin Luke.That was never a issue. However I didn't know which Solo body would be best I have many spare HT Heath V1 jokers..Could that work?

I have a spare HT's indy version but I'm not sure the neck joint is compatible

Han looks great there.

Ha, no kidding.

But at least now I'll have an example of a good looking head to show Sideshow if I get stuck with a crappy one instead. So then I can go "Um, send me one that looks like this please, where the eyes are cut out right and he's looking up like he's supposed to."

Those IGN idiots clearly have no clue how to handle these things.
