...it's our last chance for a great, neutral Trevor sculpt of Han from ANH (well, his expression is neutral when he's walking down the aisle, and the Ceremony Luke figure had a neutral expression). I know a lot of people liked smuggler Han but equally many people didn't think it was all that great; Han Stormtrooper was good but a little too chubby in the face, and the smirk, while catching the character, is a very specific facial expression.

Yet we know Trevor can capture Harrison Ford beautifully - his Indiana Jones heads are the best Harrison Ford sculpts ever. So please, Sideshow, make ceremony Han just so we can have the best Han Solo sculpt ever - serious, but maybe with the ghost of a smile - and I can buy three of 'em. Hell, you'd only need to tailor a new shirt.
 
IMHO, Smuggler Han's sculpt is ruined by horrendous paint. I've seen repaints of even just the eyes that make it look dead-on to Harrison...

I've seen repaints that make it look better, but I've never seen a repaint that made it look like Ford. If there are any I'd love to see them. I'd love to be wrong about the sculpt.

Didn't Trevor do the sculpts for Smuggler and Trooper?

So you state his work was basically sub-par and then request a sculpt from him stating he's the best Harrison sculptor. :cuckoo:
 
I still feel you can't do much better than Trev's Smuggler sculpt, I think it totally captures '77 Ford.

It's a good sculpt, but slightly too chubby IMO - maybe I'd see it differently with a really good paint job. I would also like to see a Trevor Han sculpt with a more neutral expression.

That Mark Hamill sculpt is FANTASTIC.
 
I have Trooper Han, and it is fantastic. One of my favorite Star Wars figs. I agree with DCFan that we need a ceremonial Han to give Trevor another chance to to get us a good neutral Ford sculpt. Considering he has doen so many Ford sculpts between Han and Indy, he can probably do one in his sleep.

While we are at it, Sideshow should go ahead and issue a redo of Bespin Han with a Trevor sculpt :)

Darren Carnall. A pity we all can't paint like that.

Great contribuiton to the thread.


Just having some fun and trying to elicit a response... I agree with your post above. The ST Han sculpt is fantastic.

The only thing that irritates me about ANH Han is the sculpted neck. I have Han on a Narrow TT, replaced the boots with some DIDs and replaced his small black belt with something a bit more screen accurate and overall he looks great, aside from the ugly looking neck connection at the base... I've swapped back and forth from the ST head to the ANH head a few times and both have their good and bad points. Paint isn't great on either and while I think the ST head captures Harrison perfectly I also don't quite dig the smiling face sculpt for my definitive Han Solo figure.

So yeah, I'd be open to a new Han.
 
Why hasn't anyone customizing ANH Han taken the extra step and dremmeled off the neck and popped it on a body with a molded one? Well, I'm sure someone has, I just haven't seen any pics.
