I agree with Dave here...
Hasbro gave it the best tries they could within the limitations imposed on them by having a cost-effective mass-market figures, one was a wire-framed, cuddley-faced toy and the other was an articulated, properly scaled (height-wise) tootsie roll monstrosity that just looked bizarre...
I think it's an unfortunate given that the only way this character could be effectively rendered in sixth-scale form is either a very well sculpted and detailed figure (more like a statue really) or by the aforementioned "little old ladies" assembly approach...
The former would be more cost-effective (and presumably less expensive) and the latter would be outrageously expensive (and STILL not satisfy everyone with the end result)...
So....the chances of seeing a Chewbacca effectively rendered in this scale are pretty slim, close to none, I'd say...
