Hot Toys Bespin Han speculation thread

[Rzeznikk]

It probably doesn't help that whatever film he is promoting that star wars turns up in the conversation. He is probably tired of talking about it.

Would be nice if he took Hamill's approach though. Hamill seems pretty cool about it.

That's because Hamill seems to show actual gratitude for the thing that launched his career.

I remember back in the 1990's when the "special editions" were being released, Hamill showed up at the premiere saying, "I didn't want to be conspicuous by my absence." Guess the only OT star who wasn't there?

This is the most tragic thread on the internet. I’ve been to more joyful funerals than this place.

In the sense it turned Ford into a superstar yeah. He was in an Oscar nominated film before that albeit a cameo (the conversation) and he was working as a carpenter at the time of star wars so the story goes.

Seriously tempted to use the bits from my SS Hoth Han to start a kitbash. Now that Lando’s on the shelf, he’s such a glaring omission.

I just cant find a good head...I mean sculpt? Anyway, either the hair is wrong or he has sideburns or both. If anyone finds a good one let me know please.

My personal favorite is the Inigo ESB, followed very closely to the Jnix (even thought it's meant to be for ANH it still works)

Medicom/Enterbay did a decent ROTJ Han a few years back too.

Space Smuggler sculpt is decent, thought a bit big headed. And since it's a modded recast of the MJ Choi Indy it has scruff but didn't bother me too much.

Other that those I think the only other options are HT ANH and Stormtropper Han sculpts. Both I'm not a big fan of personally.

here`s a quick photo of my Han Bespin bash up of the sideshow shirt jacket enterbay rotj han pants and tarkin boots.

Looks good, Ed! Only thing missing is maybe a necked body so you don't see that seam. Is that the Sideshow jacket/shirt that came with the Hoth figure?

yeah i might swap that body out once i find the body like the HOT TOYS ANH HAN body. and the shirt and jacket is from the sideshow hoth han figure

I still like my modified Medicom/Enterbay Han.

I just purchased the Han Solo figure from the Solo movie and am going to make a custom Bespin Han using the body, boots and blaster and rig from this along with the jacket, paints and shirt from my old SS Bespin Han . I wanted to know how hard will it be to take off the boots from the figure and also remove the painted dirt from the boots. Thanks

I personally would keep the weathering on the boots. I did.

I may take your advice. How hard is it to remove the boots from a HT figure and them put them back on ? I have only done with heads and hands.

Boots are on a small barbell type joint. Should be able to swap easy enough.

My Bespin Build is using the same "Young Solo" body with those same boots. They pop on and off simple.

I like the weathering on the new boots because it gives a sense of lived in. They would probably be dirty of worn looking so I prefer that.
