Brilliant image QuiGonFishing! That looks like Ford! Is there any photoshop in that image?

 

[Pixelpiper]

Shadows and blur will do wonders for a likeness. Even HT's Indy will look like Ford under well done lighting.

I picked up a bunch of loose parts of this figure.

Never underestimate the power of light and shadow. These sculpts are created by amazing artists and casts of the original are reasonably easy to replicate. But finding a painter hiding in the factory with the skill of JC Hong is just about impossible. If you can highlight the sculpt with careful lighting, you can almost transcend what may be slightly lacking in the paint apps (as good as most HT paint apps are).

Cranky old man strikes again. What a surprise.

I have this figure and it looks fantastic. Maybe it doesn't look just like the image you have engrained into your brain, but it looks just like Harrison Ford as Han Solo in Star Wars ep 4.

Where did you get them from? I'm looking for a spare pair of boots but have only seen Ebay listings so far, with some fairly ridiculous prices.

But... isn't the image you have engrained into your brain Harrison Ford as Han Solo in Star Wars ep 4?

So... if it "doesn't look just like the image you have engrained into your brain"... does that mean it's a bit off? Confused.

Yeah, there's been a few deals here and there for this fig and parts on eBay, but in general it's been insanely high prices.

It means people usually have specific photo stills or screen shots that are lit a certain way for reference, and they try to compare the toy figure to those images, and if it doesn't match up perfectly, then it's not a good likeness, in their eyes.

The figure looks just like HF as HS in ep 4 with the expression it comes with. It doesn't look like him when he's shouting to Chewie or smirking at Leia, it looks like him with a neutral expression. Keeping in mind there are a million small variances of any one persons' "neutral expression".

All that said, it's a wonderful figure. The best ever overall to date by far.

It really is fantastic. I love this guy.

I just think you phrased it better the first time...

THANK YOU Hot Toys for these amazing figures. THANK YOU for always advancing your craft and pushing yourselves to make your already excellent figures even better! I can't wait for Vader, Ben, Leia, Luke and the rest! MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, HOT TOYS!

I'm only getting this figure so I can make a nice John Larroquette custom from Night Court.

The holster is all wrong for that!

Not sure who this is in reply to because I haven't seen anyone do what you're describing.

Except for the tailoring & the boots, I'm ok with it.
