My favorite character is Han Solo! He has been ever since I first saw the movie back in 1977. But I think my admiration for the character strengthened after ESB. The character was much better developed, and he became a true “hero” in ESB, doing everything he could to keep Leia safe. Honestly I guess he seemed more of the hero to me, since he always seemed to come to the rescue for his friends. Also, something about him being an outsider appealed to me, made him a bit more relatable to me.
Then a year later Raiders came out, and it solidified my fandom for Ford. My collection now focuses on Ford characters, basically Han and Indy since they’re the most widely available. I have the bootleg Deckard and plan on maybe getting the new SMT old Deckard coming soon. And I plan on getting any HT Han figure that comes out.
I have to say that I love Ray too! I think the character is great! I love how capable and self reliant she is. I like how excitable she can get (“I bypassed the compressor!”). I like how feisty she is (annoyed at Finn trying to hold her hand, “we need a pilot!”“we’ve got one!”, asking Finn for the tape “no, the one I’m pointing to!”). I like how she is emotionally vulnerable, with a loneliness and a need to belong. Watching her scenes with Han were fantastic and it was so sad to see that relationship end so quickly. I think she’s great and I’ve been enjoying watching her journey.
As for my favorite figure, I didn’t think I’d say this, but I think it’s got to be the Sideshow Hoth Han. I’ve always loved that look and I think SS did a good job for the most part. The set is pretty good, with the binoculars and the cool ass scanner! Of course the head came out bad with that new eye system they were playing with, although I think the sculpt wasn’t 100% either which is rare for a Trevor Grove sculpt. Needless to say, I’m looking forward to Hot Toys tackling Hoth and Bespin Han hopefully in the near future!
