Interest: Han Solo (Star Wars - A New Hope) Unpainted head sculpt

Since Hot Toys didn't get him right either time, and the previous version (by JNIX) has long been sold out, this is my next custom head sculpt commission.

Hmmm, enticing. Did I tell you I eventually landed an unpainted JNIX version. But I've been agonizing over trying to paint it or not. Are you working with the same sculptor?

Will Millar, yes. He’s done all of my previous sculpts.

If I were you I’d see about getting 357Partment painting that JNIX sculpt up for you — they’re paint work will be able to really bring that sculpt out like no one else.

Awesome! Neutral look or with the signature grin?

I would be very interested with a more neutral haircut as in indiana jones and most his movies. Can't wait to see what you get anyway, 357department are so talented, I follow them on insta, drooling on each of their paint jobs

Here's the progress so far for anyone interested (face, without major detail in the hair -- with photo overlays):














And, the hair details:

Wow, it does look pretty perfect.

That looks SO good!

Will there be a no neck version?

It will be without a neck. Since it’s designed to go with the HT New Hope body. The neck is just there for the render.

Very impressive! I'm sure you'll be able to sell the spares in no time.

That's more reassuring, Mark. What price are you thinking or don't know yet.

Final render (neck removed) — will be sized to fit the HT New Hope body.

Looks incredible! Congratulations!

Yes, it looks gorgeous. I truly wish I could afford extra goodies right now. If you still have any available down the road, I might be tempted.

Master print is finished, casting has begun. Hopefully, for anyone interested, I'll have final casting images within another week or so.

Head sculpts have arrived. I have 19 available for anyone who wants one. (Unpainted - $100 USD + shipping & PP fees).

Details:

He turned out real nice!

Wow he has great looming, very crispy detailed hair. Although it seems there are many little traces of the support structure in form of little blots.

Seems like he turned out great, looking forward to seeing him eventually painted!

Great Work on him ! especially the last picture looks 100 % classic Han Solo to me.

I just wanted to report that I got mine, and it's looking excellent. Thanks again, Mark!

Glad it arrived safely and you’re happy with it, Ian.

Of course, I couldn't wait to paint it. Just finished (more or less) last night. Will post up some photos soon. If you like (my painting skills are modest compared to the professionals), feel free to grab some for here.

For anyone curious what the head could look like, the artist sent me these images.

Oh wow, that looks fantastic!
