Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[Mad Old Lu]

I think you're the first in the US. I'm just trying to find some logic in who gets what body, but it seems like iit's all a crapshoot!

What do you think, will you contact Sideshow about this and ask for an exchange?

I just opened up by Blue Coat Exclusive and it's also on the 1.0. Not exactly stoked.

On a positive note:





I LOVE the Bespin Han upgrade on a Narrow Shoulder TT!

 

[mattdorris]

That's a good looking Han Solo

Hey GB, great custom btw

Do you think an older normal TT will work. Like Bank Robber Joker

Nice man... I really like those boots. Which ones are those?

Thanks! Explorer Boots from Virtual Toys. I cut the straps away and painted them with acrylics.

Im not sure, which is why I posted it on the forum, if its a very isolated cases, then yes maybe I will as it might be considered "wrong" and then I can ask for the correct body. If it much more then isolated, then not sure as Sideshow might consider this "normal" then.
"All our items are hand made, and as such some will look different then other...... etc."

While I enjoy Luke and will likely enjoy Han, SS needs to up their game at these prices. Paint apps really needs stepped up a notch still very basic. I don't have major issues with clothing but they could grow as well.

I called and let them know. I'm not sure what they'll do but I wanted to bring it to their attention. It's not as tall or as good of a body as the 1.1.

Yeah I'm definitely looking forward to seeing repaints of this guy. Should make the likeness even better than it already is.

I'll take that pro if I get two big ones! Ha. Already checked Luke and he's on a 1.1 or 1.2. It has the extra ab section.
Does anyone have the Enterbay Han? Would love to see the new headsculpt on that figure. Or is that one in a different scale?

I was going to ask the same. They look dead on screen accurate.

Thanks Spud! They were all the rage a few years ago and they dried up FAST!!! I've got a pair on my ANH Han also.

 

[Tee-Kay]

Both my Ex Han and Ex Luke, that i got from Sideshow direct, are on Pro 1.1 bodies. Looking to switch Luke on a smaller one and avoid pegs incompatibilities if at all possible. What do you guys would use as a replacement?

Haha yeah I noticed their lacking presence on eBay just now.

I'd use the Pro 1.0. It's cheap, shorter and compatible.

My ESB Hero upgrades:







I'll paint Luke's boots; don'tchoo worry!

 

[Chakaman]

Bmarz, great looking Bespin Han Solo.

I just got mine today, looks like it is on a pro 1.1.

Unlike Hoth Luke, I have almost no complaints with Solo but if Sideshow is going to charge as much as Hot Toys now then they really need to step up their game and deliver a Hot Toys quality product. The rubber boots were a cheap corner they cut. Hot Toys would have delivered quality cloth boots. Fortunately I've a pair of HT Bespin Luke boots on the way to mod though and thankfully that should be the only "upgrade" this figure really needs other than the usual body swap to a Hot Toys Truetype.

The Hoth Boys are finally in....it would have been nice to have had Han slightly taller but no big deal.

 

[galactiboy]

So, I guess I wasn't really paying attention when I was checking the body... as it turns out I do have Han on 1.0. Interestingly when he and Luke are both on a 1.0 they seem to be well scaled to one another

Anyway, I'll put Han on Luke's 1.1 body and see how he looks after that.
