Got mine on Wednesday but didn't get to "play" with him til last night.
It's a great, fun figure! I ended up putting the fur coat on him right off the bat, since I had to take his head off to take the plastic off his neck and chest. The chest plastic wrap was particularly difficult to take off since the shirt is fit so well to the body. There isn't much space to try and grab a hold of that plastic. I ended up using tweezers, being careful not to scratch anything.
The fur coat fit is also very snug. It's really a testament of how well tailored the outfit is. Everything fits perfectly without much wiggle room. So putting on the coat was a little bit of a bear, also having to put the scarf on him. But like I mentioned, I did all that since I had to take the head off in the first place. The belt with the holster is supposed to go on top of the fur coat, but that particularly I think adds too much stress to the belt. It's such a tight fit. I can see that the two ends will reach and latch together with some force, but I didn't want to push my luck and risk the belt tearing or snapping. So I rigged something up with a twist tie since it's at his back and no one would see that anyway. Once all done, he looks great. It was clever of them to sew the front part of his jacket to the coat, so it looks like his jacket is underneath but it's not. It makes him look much less bulky than if the coat really did have to fit on top of his jacket.
All the accessories are top notch. Love the grappling hook and spool on the belt and the goggles. The figure has a great overall look, especially with the coat, but I'll probably switch him to his regular look eventually. The jacket looks and feels like suede, but upon closer look, it's really just a regular twill-ish weave. Very interesting.
I loved the movie and Han's been my favorite character since the beginning, so it's great for me to have this figure. I'm really happy I have him!
Sorry for just one iPhone pic. I've been pretty busy.

Damn. That actually looks really good. Now I’m considering buying a second so I can display my deluxe with the coat.

I had that same exact thought too! But my wife gave me enough grief about getting two of the same person with me getting this and Mudtrooper Han!

I don't know what it is about your photo, Lou but it makes this version look much more appealing than the promo photos. Maybe it's seeing the coat and accessories in a real environment or juxtaposing him with the Indian Jones stuff enhances the "swagger" of the deluxe look.

Pass mudtrooper Han off as just a generic trooper ?

Nice shot Lu. Is the hood functional?

Thanks, D.R.37! Nope. Everything is sewn down. I don't know if it's supposed to be a hood, either--I think just a big collar.
Same with the Mudtrooper. That one does have a hood but it's also sewn down.

Great shot of Han in the heist on Vandor get-up Mad Old Lu. I have the deluxe on order and can't decide between the heist look or the smuggler look. Might go back and forth...or maybe I need an extra...if I can find one!

Thanks, guys. And congrats on getting the figure!
Putting him in the coat was just a lark since I had to take his head and jacket off in order to get the plastic off around his neck and chest. I'm really liking his fur coat look too. Lately I haven't bothered with the bonus deluxe looks--I have the deluxe ESB Fett but didn't bother with his alternate look, I never put the snow coat on TFA Han, and I never put the desert gear on TFA Rey. Just never have the time anymore. But I'm glad I did for this guy.
Received mine this week ...really lovely figure and accessories!! Was the figure that's taken the longest to set up out of all my HT figures tho !! Found the belt to be very weak..any amount of stress and the glue holding the tiny plugs on 3 joins come apart. So first job was to reglue with piece of woven strong tape for added strength on the reverse. Also the coat was so tight the middle clasp broke straight away pretty much ..have it held down with double sided sticky tape for now but will replace with a small hook maybe in future.
Sorry of its been asked before buy anyone know what these tiny diaries are for that come with the deluxe?

Wanted to change up my Solo display some, and decided to use some accessories I had in storage. Really hope I can get a Lando to go on the opposite side.

Very cool, Bunk! Where did you get all that? The drinks are from Sideshow's R2, aren't they?
