Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[TaliBane]

Jesus Christ this head especially the exclusive portrait looks like a damn monkey!

Give it up already Sideshow... Let hot toys handle it. Lots of droids and creatures you can do!

Totally.

 

[ebor]

Respectfully disagree, Harrison Ford does not look like a 'monkey,' inasmuch as any human resembles an ape (since we are descendants of apes)

 

[Anthrapoid]

Actually we ARE apes - Taxonomically, we are classified as 'great apes'.

 

[jedibear]

The IGN video review is a big visual relief...they both look GREAT.

Gonna have to go for a tauntaun now......

 

[xequae]

Can't wait for Han and Luke to arrive. They have been on pre-order for so long. Definitely want to see if I can find a way to afford a Taun Tuan now.

The more I see pics of these two figures the H U G E R those snaps on the jackets look....

Yeah, the snaps are not just wide, they will be thick - meaning they will show the way Hasbro snaps do when the clothes stand off too much. IT's one of the things that gives that "toy" look.

There's also the pinstripes on Han's binocs, though maybe this is a one-off error:

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I sure wish we had a 1/6 TaunTaun thread to go with these figures.

 

[ebor]

Uh these are toys, no matter how you try to justify spending you money, and those stripes are weathering, of a facsimile of the same. Oh snap! I may have to spring for a tauntaun as well.

Can't remember who posted this photo, but it appears to determine that Sideshow's Han is the same height as a HT slim:

Hoth Luke would therefore be a good match for HT Bespin Luke. Han probably needs to be ported over onto a HT narrow shoulder (or similar knock-off), which will give a better relative height difference.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Makes sense. He looks a little squattty as is. The TT will look lots better.

So anyone else think Sideshow should have included Luke's lightsaber as one of Han's accessories as well? Given how memorable (and incredibly cool) it was to see him wielding it briefly in the movie, it seems like it would have been an obvious thing to include. And I think it could actually make for another cool way to pose him.

Guess I'll just have to get a parted out lightsaber from the Luke set for that.

A nod to the McQuarrie Solo that never was...

Is his lightsaber...glittery?

Yes, it is.

Da Bomb Show called it a "frosty paint effect".

 

[Cocoboloboy]

It ain't a light saber, man. It's his Sparkle Fresh toothpaste.

Sounds like a good idea, but then... that would make Han taller in relation to the HT Chewbacca. I'm going the other route: making Luke shorter.

That would mean using something like the HT Robin body.

I'm presuming that Han on a narrow shoulder would be similar to this:

But making Chewie look bigger can never be a bad thing!
