Sorry about the thread title. Couldn't resist
Ok guys the reality is this Hot Toys figures are always gonna be great, but the one a year thing and prequel injections (I don't hate the prequels at all I just place them way lower on the priority list) over the course of 4 or 5 years and two core characters from the original trilogy is not enough to make me believe in my lifetime and interest level ill build the collection of Star Wars that I deem up to calibre with the rest of my collection. Thankfully UU is out there sneaking good releases in, and sideshow can take care of the less human characters just fine after theirs releases are modded and upgraded.
People might ***** about the price but the reality is even though I only spent 50 bucks less than Luke and had to do upgrades, I have a Han on my shelf that's up to calibre with my Luke, and since HT might not get to Han until 2014(more like 15) hell I'll take it.
Sure their Farmboy Luke was pretty brutal but doubters of the Han release just wonder over to the thread below on this forum for the sleeper hit that was Han, it sports the best Harrison Ford likeness done in this scale bar none and some fantastically tailored clothes.
What's the next logical progression for UU? They did Luke and Han, Medicom can handle the vaders, bobas, royal guards etc without enterbays help so its all in the human releases. I'm hoping to see a Leia from them but its unlikely we've not seen much in the way of females from either Enterbay or Medicom, my theory is that if the next figure is not something from the prequels it will be something like Old Ben.
