1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - Star Wars: Episode VII - Han & Chewbacca Collectible Figure
That looks so perfect.
I mean with a well lit scaled background (and maybe a bit of dulling on the jacket,) that could look like a pic of the real guy. And the hair looks spot-on there.
A solid evening of family entertainment is not without merit.
Agreed. Any suggestions on what to use to do the "dulling" of the jacket?
Without the fat suit on the upper portion I think TFA Han is the best out of the box figure yet that has a screen accurate sculpt, clothing and accessories all spot on.
After watching Budget Stark's video last week TOP 5 TIPS FOR COLLECTORS, I felt bad about wanting things to be more screen accurate, like how the TFA Chewie, in some cases, just doesn't look that good. He suggested that people who complain maybe should pick up another hobby, or spend more time with their families. I have always enjoyed his videos for the most part, he does a great service by showing stuff from Secret Base pretty much instantly, and he is clearly a highly intelligent person. However, discussion and differences of opinion can bring about improvement. The subtext, at least to me, seemed to be no one can say a bad word about Hot Toys, if you do, you must be a negative person. For the record: Hot Toys is an amazing company, and Howard Chan is an incredible entrepreneur. I have disagreed with people on this board before, but, in many cases, I then see their point and new creative thoughts, and, in some cases, the ability to improve a collectible happens. There are many amazing and talented customizers in Hong Kong, incredible artists who do work from re-scuplting, custom paint jobs, to custom clothes, etc (of course this board has many amazing and talent customizers from around the world) . Glad to be a part of a community where people can freely express differences of opinion, whether we agree with them and or that specific opinion or not.

"It's okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That doesn't give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give you a right to accuse someone of poorly expressing their beliefs just because you don't like what they are saying. Learn to recognize good writing when you read it, even if it means overcoming your pride and opening your mind beyond what is comfortable."

The TFA Han and Chewie show the absolute best, and absolute worst (yes, in some cases, not all) of what can happen.
Look at what an entire community did, including several artists in Hong Kong to improve the Sideshow Raiders Indy:

Difference of opinion is healthy and spurs creativity ...
