It looks like it might even be two left boots.
Dude, you are one "eagle-eyed" son of a gun!
That's an extremely nice looking bash, Tali.

Thanks, Coco!
You always love 'em more when they cost you less.
I just happened to have most of what I needed, but the SSC Han Hoth gives you the head, jacket and shirt - a great freebie. And thanks to Stshammgod for lining me up with the UU Han pants for a great deal - couldn't have gotten those any other way.
And they're the only truly accurate Bespin pants until HT releases theirs.
I look forward to getting this for $125 with $30 in RPs and free shipping in a few months.
Does Sideshow ever discount like that though? They seem to take all the unsold stuff and put it on the "gift card"
lol - aka the returns room) eligible list for years. I've only ever seen them actually cut prices (by more than a coupon code amount) once or twice. They had discount code on the two Hoth figs a few months ago, but even that was only maybe $30 and then it expired.

Spooktacular!
Got MoS Supes for the same deal listed last year.
BTW, sweet Bespin Han, looks good even with this sculpt.

Is the gun Hoth's or HT's? If Hoth's, does your it fit well in the holster? I've got some problems with mine and I'm not sure if it's because of the thunder tights of the body I'm using.
See, I hear about that all the time but never understand exactly what Spook really is (other than reveals at Halloween.) Is everything discounted or just the returns room stuff?
Hmm - I don't recall any issues with the holster/pistol on my Han Hoth - I'll check tomorrow. The one in the Bespin pic above is parts bin - I think it's an extra HT Luke blaster with a SSC ANH holster with custom buckle.

Sorry...you wrote pants belt I only read belt. I'm having trouble with Hoth gun in HT ANH holster.
Don't think they'll do a discount that steep on this figure--they mainly did that with HT figs last year. Best way to reduce the cost on this one is to grab the exclusive with a $25 google ads coupon, sell off the exclusive head for $50, then sell off the bespin jacket shirt for $25 and you've got yourself a $100 Hoth figure.
It may hit 20% again at some point but I'm guessing the blue coat will be sold out by then.
What is this $25 google ads coupon you speak of and where can I find it? I did a google search and didn't come up with an answer.
I get them like 5 times a day, I'll PM you one.
Awesome! I would really appreciate it. I figured out what you meant by google ads coupon, but I haven't seen any Sideshow ads in a while, let alone ones with coupons.

Hoth Han (Brown and Blue) remain among my favourite figures. The sculpt, however, is an anomaly.
With the cap on and hood up it works really well for the scene intended, i.e. with the hood up outside in the cold! It's a cold, frozen face with intense, determined eyes under a furrowed brow.
The alternate sculpt with hair is quite a different matter. It doesn't work the same. Unlike the capped sculpt, looking at it directly from the front is a no no. I was just about to break down my Bespin Han bash and put the body in the spare parts drawer, but then I picked up the unused spare un-capped sculpt.
Turning it gradually to one side or the other the likeness improves greatly. From those angles the upper eyelids/brow change the shape of the eyes significantly.
It means turning the head to one side, and the (HT oval) base itself almost sideways. But it also means I can give the bash a stay of execution.

Yeah, it probably looks better with a head turn. It has decent amount of HF (I still think more so than the HT, but don't have that one in-hand yet) but definitely has issues - a little cartoony and slightly funky eyes but the skintone being the one that throws things for me.
I wish my pic was as good quality as ST's, but you get the idea.
Finally got some pieces for a custom Bespin Han.
I wanna wait for HT Han for replacing both belts.
Just got a few new bits including the HT ANH Han pants belt for my "freebie" Han Bespin (no longer quite "free" now). This guy is a decent placeholder until HT announces their new Han Bespin:

That's it. The more you turn the head the better it gets. The optimum look is probably from completely side-on. It improves the look of the hair as well.
Mine's now set up so I'm looking at the left side of his face (his left side).
