Fiddled with my Fett- attached the rocket pack so it won't come off any more (putting it back on every time I picked him up got old really fast). I removed the plastic sheet behind the chest armor. Then I removed the armor tabs and glued the armor back in place. I also overlapped the vest in the back: so the Velcro actually went further than it was made to, then I glues it in place. Much tighter fit now. Still not sold that this is a better figure than the Medicom version.
I picked up a Medicom New Hope Solo. I wanted to see this one in person. And I have to say he's better looking in hand than in most of the pics I've seen.
I think it's a good likeness to Ford....
Finally, what I feared- the figure is well undersized. (I may swap out to body to a taller one at some point.)
Overall I'm glad I picked Solo up, I think Medicom did an excellent job capturing the look and feel of the character. Just wish he were taller.
Here's my C-3PO 12" Perfect Model Chogokin figure.
Expensive yes, but you get what you pay for.
I have two critiques with the figure. First- his legs aren't articulated that well at all. Secondly, his ankles want to give out under the weight of the figure.
Predators Nolan....
Wasn't going to get him, but found a great deal and bit. Glad I did- very cool figure.
Medicom Jack Sparrow- Again a good deal that I couldn't pass on. I'm happy with him, but would love to see the Hot Toys version in person to know if I picked up the better version.
Got screwed out of $300 by Urban Samurai Hobbies- I had prepaid, back in Jan, for 2 12" figures that they never sent. The 45 day PayPal limit expired and the 60 Visa limit expired. So basically I'm SOL. Really pisses me off.
