OK, Don't get me wrong...I think the Sideshow headsculpts are generally amazing. The headsculpts for the 12" Luke, Obi-Wan (Ewan), Anakin (Hayden), Mace, Kit Fisto, Aragorn and Legolas are INCREDIBLE! Just check these boards and you'll see MANY positive comments. I just personally found the 12" Han Solo a little...generic in comparison. The costume is AWESOME, and I'm glad they started the line with Bespin Han Solo, as that's my favourite costume incarnation of Solo. I mean that belt is a thing of beauty! Just wondered what the general consensus was on the headsculpt. To me it seems a little puffy in the cheeks and lacks overall Harrison Ford definition. And it's not in the paint application...Just compare the unpainted Obi-Wan head in the blog to the painted version and it's INCREDIBLE how bang-on the sculpt is...yet the Han...
Compare the Sideshow version in the blog to this AWESOME custom found online...both unpainted:

...If the version in the prototypes/at Toyfare is the final headsculpt, I may update my 12" Bespin Solo with a custom head...
...just a thought. Keep up the GREAT work Sideshow. The Star Wars and LOTR 12" lines are a dream come true! THANKS!!!
