Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[marker2037]

Great shot Rubio, he looks killer. I agree about the belt tightening and maybe pulling the sleeves out of the gauntlet a bit instead of stuffing them in.

Overall, I love how the blue turned out.

Sorry it's late. I tell you In hand makes a difference IMO

I don't even mind the Pro body






It looks like Ford to me. It's uncanny

Dayum. Lookin' pretty great there.

Solo looks good, but as others have mentioned the fur around the hood is awful. I will definitely be replacing it.

Make sure to take some photos of the process Chris! I've got all kinds of appropriately-colored rabbits, rats and opossum in the neighborhood for materials.

Post-script. My Solo shipped and will be delivered to my mailbox on Friday - so it looks like they've gotten around to at least some March orders.

Ha! I do too. You forget, I live in Kansas.

I will take some pics, I just need to source the proper material first. I like the suggestions mentioned a couple pages back, just need to pick which one I like best.

Just opened mine up and I have to say the likeness is pretty good, better then I thought it would be.... I'm pretty happy with mine....

I need more pics, I cannot choose between blue and brown. I was impressed enough with Luke that I want to grab Han.

Get blue and try to buy brown coat parted out?

 

[Chakaman]

Is anyone else bothered how these figures look with goggles down? They kinda look "Hasbro-ish".

I may paint the goggles on mine or dull them a bit so they aren't so clear. I dunno, they just seem too clean.

Yeah, I was leaning that direction get both call it a day. The pics so far I tend to like brown coat better

I'm not planning on displaying with the goggles down very often, but I agree that some weathering would probably help. Do the Luke goggles have a green tint? Not seeing it in all the photos.
These are pretty opaque:

EDIT: Thought this was the Luke thread.

The hood looks very cheap and Hasbro-ish as do the goggles and rubber boots. Cutting corners to save $ and increase profit margins makes all the difference between making it look like a cheap retail "toy" and a "high end" collectible figure.

My Blue coat Han will be here Wednesday. I'll post pics when I have him. Liking the hatless sculpt in these pics more and more. I'll finally be able to bash my Bespin Han with the SS outfit.

I'm not hating on the figure, I like it. There are just a couple of things I am going to upgrade.

REALLY looking forward to seeing that!

Here's a few pics. Having fun with him, but he's definitely a mixed bag.

You guys decide.

Looks good. Did you comb the fur? It looks very neat.

Looking even better!

Is Han using product in in his 'hair' ? It's an improvement over the scruffy mess that Sideshow left him with.
