I actually like that one. Its one of the better Ford sculpts.
It seems no matter what there's always something that doesn't sit right with his sculpts. Wtf is it about his likeness that is so hard to nail I wonder.

It's a good sculpt, but very specific. The generic one is more versatile, but so many people don't like it.
I still see Gregory "Harrison."
We need to complie a list of actors people have seen in this sculpt. I think we're above a dozen at this point.
I think the trick is to just get used to it as "Hot Toys Han Solo" in your head and it starts to look just like Han Solo. Sort of the way the classic Kenner 3 3/4" figures worked. Let your imagination fill in the rest.
Cartoon Han Solo vs. super realistic Steve Guttenberg. Choices, choices.It's a sort-of-okay likeness in the context of those pics, but put this head on a generic suit body and I'm not sure people would pick it as HF/Han though.
Even as bad as the apps are on the older SSC Han, its quickly identifiable as HF/Han even on a generic body.
Also, Han in SW had such attitude/swagger it was a part of his character and this HT sculpt is so bland expression-wise.
I certainly think this is a better HF than the HT Indy, but it's still underwhelming (a word which doesn't go very well with "$230")

Ford as Solo, like Indy, had a swagger about him, especially in his facial expressions. This sculpt by Hot Toys shows a too serious intense expression. Solo rarely looked like this. A lost opportunity by my estimation, they should have hired Trevor to sculpt this; he is deserving of getting the call.

Let's see, just going by memory:
John Travolta
Steve Guttenberg
Ben Stiller
James Brolin
Mark Wahlberg
Mark Ruffalo
Hugh Jackman
Christian Bale
Gregory Harrison
Yeah, prefer neutral sculpts more than other
And that is one of SSC of old better paint jobs.
And still no appearance of Tom Cruise.

I'm sure he'll make an appearance, eventually. Basically, if you're a dark-haired actor and you're still breathing, you'll make the list.

You mean like this?
These look like puppets from the Land of Confusion video.

I'm getting a kind of Haley Joel Osment vibe.

I almost have to buy this. If I bought botox nightmare Indy then this is a default purchase.

Just saw this, and I'm excited! The Han Solo sculpt works fine for me and the Chewie looks about as good as a walking carpet can be in 1/6th Scale! I'll probably end up ordering the set to get the extra blaster - I can't help it, I'm a sucker for exclusives, and when it's Star Wars... this could be a seriously expensive few years...
I know I'm late to the party here but: way off. There are so many things not right with this, if I heard they didn't get the rights to his likeness and this is just their generic Han Solo figure, I would believe it.
I'm a massive SW fan but this, sadly, is a easy pass unless they take another swing at the head sculpt.

I'm getting tired of the likeness conversation. Look, we all know the issue. For a long time, Han Solo was rumored to be one of the upcoming Hot Toys DX figures. And we didn't get that, unfortunately.
So I'm sure we can all agree, this would look much better with PERS.

You left out Jeff Goldblum and Tom Wopat (HT Dukes of Hazard Han/Luke two-fer with John Schnedier as Luke)
