He looks better than him I guess

That one girl in school always said I would do a James Bond stare sometimes. Don't know what she meant lol as I look also nothing like a James Bond lol



Here is a real inhand pic, i like it more than the promo pics

Oh, I love the forum, we can admire our work together and laugh together. It took me a while to post the picture because I fainted briefly while editing it.


with your permission Val? Congratulations on the great figure. and to Your beautiful Husband.

Oh you don't need to ask me for permission. The figure releases only next year.

This is from hot toys they always show pics of the prototype in their main centre. So still a promo pic kind of but more real than the official product shots

Looks better in that photo -- and improved with the smile. I ended up preordering.

Oh here we go. The process of me talking myself into it has begun.

He would go really well with my ROTJ Luke. He has the matching poncho.

And Leia... and Wicket (or whatever the name of that Ewok was).

If I were to get Han then of course I'd be likely to cave for the next Leia, too. I would really want the iconic white dress, but I didn't like that Hot Toys release. Maybe they'll redo it with an improved more detailed sculpt with moving eyeballs!  But the dress looked too boxy. The fabric just wasn't thin enough and I am not sure they can fix that... They haven't done the ceremonial gown yet, have they? But that would likely have the same problem...

There is a third party set. I don't know if the head is better, but you can check it out. I bought the clothing but haven't done anything with it.

Intersting. Can you link me to the third party set Ian? Might also be interested in an outfit for my Leia head I'm working on.


Oh and Diana, I preordered Han too. Hope that helps. Lol

You guys are right, the in-hand does look way better.

Damnit. I might end up PO'ing him. But I have to wait a little while, so only if he's still available by then....

Here you go, Simon:

In this listing, at least, it is identified as a "nun" dress.

I have a feeling we had a listing for a third party set, also including a head or maybe a full figure, but I can't find it to link.

Thank you! for 10 euro I will test it

You are very welcome! Hope it works. The original HT outfit was a little meh.

Oh no! More POs (and intentions)!

I, too, need to wait. I can't even put down the deposit right now. So I'm with you, Sky.  

I do actually have a Leia set, and the fabric felt nice, but I also ripped it at the first attempt, so there is that. The head is also quite big and would probably look weird on a more petite body, which would be the right choice of course. 

I'll revisit the idea of getting Han Solo in a couple of weeks.
