1/6 rah han solo by medicom toy
Roguish Spice-Smuggler turned General of the Rebel Alliance (Han's the Man alright!), Star Wars' HAN SOLO gets his own 1/6-scaled Real Action Hero figure courtesy of Medicom Toy - slated for a February 2009-drop @ a SRP of 17,640YEN (US$164 / SGD$224) - which includes his DL-44 Pistol, and a sweet-sculpt of Harrison Ford in his youth [www]Wish we had bigger images of his face-sculpt tho - but I reckon the constant badgering of fans and collectors of Medicom's efforts have left close-ups out of their current crop of public release (or so my conspiracy-addled mind whispers to me LOL). But yes, we all have a right to our individual expectations and opinions, of coz :p
That said, what do YOU think about THIS Han's sculpt / likeness?
I was "this" close to buying the Sideshow Toys one just yesterday when I came across pics of the Medicom Han on another site.
ReplyDeleteCase closed - I'm waiting for this puppy.
IMO - Sculpt is pretty dang close.

it's amazing. the sculpt and paint beat sideshow's hands down.
ReplyDeleteI was a little thrown by the red "bloodstripe" When I saw Han's trousers at the Smithsonian the striping was yellow.
ReplyDeleteMy research leads me to believe Han got new pants between Empire & Jedi.
PS. linked to this via my LJ. The girls are HOT for it.
tinister & jj = the more i look at this sculpt (not that i stare at Ford that often lol) it has a slight "anime"-aesthetic to it, IMHO :)
ReplyDelete"My research leads me to believe Han got new pants between Empire & Jedi."
LOL - i certainly hope so! man's got ranked a general, he'd better get a new pair! LOL
cheers for the linkage tho! will check it out in a bit (LJ crashes my Safari most times tho ggrrrr)
sculpt looks like cliff richard to me. but the costume is sweet
ReplyDeletetoysrevil - I think what gives it the slight anime feel is the neck. It's a little too slim because it looks like they gave him a ball joint where head meets neck.
ReplyDeleteI may do a little customizing to bulk out the neck (losing the ball joint).
tinister
sket = LOL good one!
ReplyDeletetinister = while i still think tis the facesculpt, yeh the neck does look a tad scrawny LOL
