Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[TonTon]

Awesome tip! I did something similar and jammed a toothpick in there to tug a little bit of the material in.

I've done hoth now, starting to look at bit clustered lol
Unless hot toys do them further down the line

Awesome weathering! What is your technique?

spray him with glue and drop him in your flour bin.

Seriously...I would not do anything permanent....that stuff has a tendency to yellow....

For anyone bothered as much as I was about how loose the leg strap is...but you can't quite bring yourself to cutting and re-gluing it...they this simple trick first...

1) Get you a twisty tie from any other figure you may have laying around
2) Take the blaster out of the holster....put the tip of the twisty tie up from the bottom and catch the strap as it loop inside the holder bottom
3) Pull the slack down through the bottom just a snig.....
4) clip off the extra length until you have just enough to be a brace to keep the slack snug...but not enough to show

Exactly how much is a "snig"

More then a twick....less then a blorb

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Great tip, Vonhahn!

 

[Billy Ray]

LOL, anyway, thanks for the tip. Picked up my Han last night and have to say, out of the nits that people have picked, that's the only thing that bothers me a little, so thanks for the fix. I am more than happy with this figure, I was wowed right out of the box! The fur on mine looks fine to me. The color of the coat is perfect! It's not too blue. Mine came on a 1.0, but looks great to me. Really have nothing but awe for how well this came out. I think it's right up there with Hot Toys in terms of quality and really has me looking forward to X-Wing Luke and ToD Indy. The fact that I now have a great looking Bespin Han on top of it is just icing on the cake!

Ok guys one last time blue or brown I'm torn I can't get both , brown for prop accuracy or blue for screen accuracy I'm drawn to the blue for several reasons but then know the in the back f my mind the prop is brown...... Gah

 

[Darkseed]

Choose! Choose the form of the Destructor!

Blue is Kenner, Blue is rarer, so...

Blue. Not only screen-accurate but has nostalgia value, plus there will be fewer of them around.

 

[Prime Clone]

Also...

Edit: Whoa! I never noticed that vintage prototype was brown.

 

[shocktrooper_au]

Yeah I'm going to go blue, I think it looks better, ads some colour to the display and is nostalgic despite the technical inaccuracy, blue just seems right too

 

[Prime Clone]

Technically inaccurate "from a certain point of view". Would you rather have Ahmed Best with a headpiece than Jar Jar Binks?

Okay, bad example...

 

[guyver1]

I'm fine with Brown sorry

Yep it confuses me lol it plays on my right and left brain differences

 

[Spiker]

Brown for the win

 

[Asta]

Both.


Anyway, the new Dragon in Dreams German officer boots arrived:

Rather than ram feet into them and risk damage, I filled the foot section of each boot with strips of gauze bandaging. Then taped a strip of bandage around each ankle on the figures to fill out the boot.

These have been the most fun figure arrivals for a while.
