Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

I need an extra un-hatred head if anyone is selling.

The leg strap on the holster has too much slack and is really bugging me. What's the best way to tighten it around the leg without cutting the strap?

 

[galactiboy]

I think you'd have to cut the strap some of the strap off... it's just too long. I guess you could pull the two pieces apart and reglue it together with more overlap, but it's got that nailhead on it, so not sure how that will effect things.

I do plan on altering the strap, but probably won't get to it for a day or two. I was planning on pulling it apart, cutting out a section and then regluing it with fabric glue.

I was also thinking if there was a way to put a small magnet on it like the gun strap on the holster that might work.

 

[jedijim3002]

That's what I did. I just pulled the pin out of the back strap, over lapped them and glued it back together. Oh and I chopped the back of the rivet off so it would sit flush.

In looking at the rest of the holster, I think it would be pretty easy to move the first little pocket and droid caller (on the left hand side) back a bit and get a tighter fit if you wanted to use that holster instead of the Sideshow Bespin one.

That old Bespin holster is pretty stiff and the buckle on mine does not like to close or stay closed

It's a real shame the unhatted Han head was an EX. If it was like the unhatted Luke, there would have been a ton more of them.

Does the non-EX Han come with the Bespin coat?

I didn't think of this - so the Hoth Han holster is at a very wide setting because of the coat and is too large for the Bespin set-up? Didn't think of that. I've been using an old Han smuggler holster that I just punched a new hole into.

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, it's made for a pretty bulky coat... but when I looked at it, I noticed there was quite a bit of open space to next to the droid caller. So I think you could safely move those to bits over and still have a good looking belt.

I did the same with my bespin belt, just added a hole. Unfortunately the plastic nob bends easily and I can't get it to stay closed worth a damn

 

[jedijim3002]

Yes. It does come with the Bespin jacket.

Yeah I was asking about that earlier, and was hoping someone might try fitting it around a Bespin Han just to see how much would need to be cut down on it.

So does anyone have a fix for the scanner antenna's?
They barely stay in and it's annoying.
Super glue is an option I guess.

Yup I put a dab of Loctite on the tips of mine and they stay in rock solid.

If you are using the Pro Ankle pegs the easiest option for feet is ones from a Buck Body. I harvested all of the ones when I was body swapping a couple of years ago and kept them for that purpose. If you have a set of Buck feet just get them loosened up with hot water and they will pop right on. They will not go on if they are at room temperature.

Thanks for the tip GB, I do have the Buck that the Bespin Han came on originally. Will give this a try.

I've been saying this for years, but Travolta needs to dial back on the Just for Men.

I'd like to see that Luke. I thought about doing that myself. How does it look?

 

[shocktrooper_au]

So blue or brown, really liking luke and han though haven't pulled the trigger, I like the blue and know it appeared blue on screen but know the brown is accurate to the prop arghhhh decisions

They both could use some pointers from William Shatner's toupee collection.

Get both - I did!

And Nic Cage has plenty of time to share his rug secrets these days.
