Sideshow Hoth Han Solo (Echo Base)

[mrdbios]

I don't know if anybody here is still looking for this figure but Sideshow added it to their Cyber Monday lineup. Han's now 25% off with free shipping, which I think is the best deal I've seen him for on Sideshow's site. I went ahead and picked him up finally.

That's a great deal for the exclusive.

I did the same... Really wanted this figure when he was announced but once the pics came out I lost a bit of luster but for 160 shipped ... Kind of hard to pass up.

This figure really has great shelf presence.

This figure really has great shelf presence.

So much going on with this figure, good amount of accessories and the different materials with the outfit (goggles, fur, holster) make it pretty awesome. And sounds like you got him for a nice price. Paint detail is lacking on the head sculpt but on the shelf it does look pretty great.

It was a great price and without it I probably would not have this Hoth han at all. Which would have been a shame because he's worth the full asking price.

On display he looks really awesome. So much so that I'm seriously considering getting not only hoth Luke but a tauntaun as well.

Hoth Han proto was the figure that made me decide to start collecting this sale, and after getting a couple other figures I decided to preorder Luke as well. I thought Luke came out even better than Han right out of the box other than the body--they put a taller body on Luke and a shorter one on Han so I swapped them and it makes Luke's clothes fit much better.

The regular Luke Hoth is on sale right now for 15% off at PopCultcha. The exclusive is pretty cool as well and can sometimes be had for a decent price, but really the main hatted head is the winner with Luke.

$162 shipped for the standard version....

Almost tempted at that price. Still don't think these came out very great but the helmeted sculpt is somewhat passable at the $160 price point.

I thought the same until han arrived. Looks great on display. It may be $160 but shipping to the U.S. Kills the price for me. Just as soon buy him here

I think $160-$170 is the shipped price for Luke. Prices are excellent right now as there's 15% off for a little bit longer today and shipping is only $14.50 (cheaper than sideshow for me).

I think my girlfriend bought me one of these for Christmas. Can't wait to find out for sure. This would be my first 1/6 Star Wars figure, and by the looks of what has been released lately it won't be my last.

Are u sure that shipping is included for delivery to the U.S.? I almost bought the 1/6 tauntaun & Luke deal they had going but shipping was an extra $90.

 

[Darkseed]

US price for Luke at PC is $148..... You add cheapest shipping brings it to $162

 

[Chubs&Doggers]

Looks like I missed out. It's back up to 191

You can get Luke on eBay for decent prices. Try to get the exclusive if you can, battle damage sculpt is kinda cool.

Really wanted this one but by the time I got the email from Sideshow that it was on sale it was sold out. They must have had 3 of the exclusives in stock

 

[Ahab]

Yeah, this is a pretty nice figure. My guy showed up on one of the older, smaller bodies, so unfortunately I had to move it onto a taller body... (My HT Bespin Luke was a good cm taller!)

Another mod I've been working on is a new Solo portrait using the MJ Choi Indian Jones head sculpt as the base.... I imagine I'm not the only one with this idea! I thought I'd share what it looks like prior to modifications. (And by modifications I mean adding a head of hair and losing the stubble.)

Cheers,

[karamazov80]

Excellent. I actually messaged him on Facebook awhile back suggesting he mod his Indy sculpt into Solo, but I may also have to go the route of commissioning a mod by someone else. The best 1/6 scale Ford sculpt I've seen.

 

[TonTon]

Looks great Ahab. Would love to see that painted. And in color.
