Got a good deal on the set. Chewie will need some more futzing. Han is decent though the sculpt/hair are a bit off. He looks to chubby in the face to me. Also seems like HT added a lot of unnecessary padding to his outfit. Overall, I?m happy with them though.

Sorry about that, I think it was autocorrected. Meant to say poorly instead of properly.Not sure I understand what you mean - you said "only the first batch of Chewies were *properly* made" (my emphasis) - ?
Did the later batches improve
did Hot Toys offer new ones to the people who have the 1st batch?

I'm hunting this set so interested to know more about the batches.
Wait, what are the issues with the set? What?s wrong with Chewbacca ? As I too will inevitably be picking the set up lol
The issues are just what you see is what you get (in terms of the in-hand photos). If you're happy with those then the set is fine. The main criticism was the large upper lip, and then the color was criticized too.
True, though it's a figure that benefits from some easy futzing, so not all in-hand photos will be representative of what you can achieve with the figure with a little effort. I tweaked mine a bit but will be going through this thread for techniques to improve his look.
I was going to point you to PopCultcha. They had it discounted to $450 USD but looks like it finally sold out. There are two available on Amazon for $500 shipped from a seller in NY. One for $500 on eBay as well. Not terrible considering the price is trending upwards and they're sold out most places.
Yes I had one from PopCultcha in my cart for a couple of days and didn't get around to paying until discovering they had sold out - really kicked myself for missing it there. Also had a person in a FB group ready to sell one to me for $450 shipped but then he just disappeared - so annoying. Anyway - thanks for the pointers.
I am collecting only OT or figures that closely resemble them from the sequels. Anyone have any thoughts on how close this Chewie matches the OT version? The OT Chewie is still out there, though for a much higher price that is why I am considering this one.
Thoughts on the two versions if price was no an issue?
Thanks.
Thanks you guys!
Wow, sorry for the incredibly late reply, Hoody. Yes, that is the full philtrum reduction mod...
