bought the brown coat and didnt like it. reminded me too much of the old hasbro so i painted it. also cut off the sleeve length and took out the lining. no more elephantitis of the wrist gauntlets . now i really want another taun taun for him!

 

[TonTon]

^^Nice work. Hate how the fit is on the gauntlets.

 

[Darth_IMPoor]

Looks good. Did you leave the Bespin coat on underneath, or did you get rid of that too?

 

[Pixelpiper]

^^Nice work. Hate how the fit is on the gauntlets.

If someone's courageous, they can always be cut and glued back together.

 

[drjedisith]

thanks fellas. i took off the bespin jacket. and you know i thought about cutting and gluing the gauntlets but it got dark out and i was ok with it for now. but i just might do that as well! kinda wanna add snow too. where does it end? it doesnt !

That looks really good! And yeah, I got a brown jacket and the first thought that crossed my mind in looking at it was the 12" Hasbro Han. I thought I was the only one.

You have cajones of steel, my friend!

So that was the brown coat? Did you actually paint it or did you dye it that color?

 

[drjedisith]

haha its easy guys! i mixed a little black acrylic paint with navy blue and just bruushed it on with a small paintbrush. voila! all is pretty , even the sometimes pain in the butt threads

yeah talibane that hasbro look is very over for me. great minds

Just your decision to go Kenner blue (3 3/4" figure) over Hasbro brown. I ended up getting both coats and am currently displaying the brown one. Still trying to work up the courage to replace the fur permanently.

 

[generalgrevious]

I went with the kenner blue. as that`s how I will always remember him as a kid

 

[drjedisith]

awesome fisher price pic. i never knew that existed. yeah the fur is a bit funky. i might tackle that too. but if i snow him up i wont bother.

generalgrevious i still remember opening the original hoth han in my parents car as a kid and hoping i wouldnt lose his gun like i did with other star wars figures in the car lol.
