12 inch Bespin Han

[Entropy]

I think Mat's Han is exponentially better than my PF effort.... There are so many things I would (will?) do differently if I were to sculpt that character again.

Ok, I'll bite.
I love your Han ANH sculpt myself, it really captures his smugness, but what are a few of the many things you would do to improve upon your already stellar work Andy?

I just received my SS Pre-Order email. I can't wait!

Same here. As if I weren't jazzed enough about this figure!

Me three!

I noticed that the priority pre-order is two hours now, instead of the half-hour that we got for Kit Fisto. (That's correct, isn't it?)

Nothing like not having to be at work until 10:30pm on a Friday when there's pre-ordr'n to be done! Yee-HAW!


Ahem...

Its always 2 hours. Its just that Kit sold out in 30 mins.

PREDICTIONS for Han's sell-out?

I'll say...hmmm... also 30 mins. but the edition size will be larger.

Oh, dur. I see... Thanks!

Sideshow upgraded their servers with the Fisto preorder, so that partially caused the speed with which he sold out. But the demand for Han is much bigger, and now even the SW site has begun rallying the international fandom; it's not going to be pretty.

I just hope that everyone who logs in on the priority preorder page at 10 AM PST sharp is actually able to get one. Latecomers will have it rough.

So are all of us going to start refreshing their home page at 9:59am?

I'm sure even earlyer than that.

 

[Anakin]

,...refreshing mine already,...

Just to add to your worries about getting a figure this time. I picked up Toyfare and Lee's Toy Review yesterday and both are telling people to get on the bandwagon for SW figures from SSC. They say this is the hot ticket investment (telling people to invest in toys,...idiots) and you better get signed up to buy exclusives if you want to be in on the next big thing. I'm thinking if Han goes on sale at 10:00am PST it should sell out at, I don't know, maybe 10:00am PST plus fifteen seconds or so. The ordering experience this time should be interesting, huh?

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea saw that too. They are right about the exclusives. Once the word of these figures catch on, I'm sure the first 4 are going to be in demand, especially Luke.

It's going to be interesting. I'll have both the online and phone handy

 

[The Mike]

I will be online and refreshing nice and early. I really really want that Mynock!

 

[Batty]

Less than 24 hours to go. It's like Christmas for me every time.

Mat's my HERO.

Best. Portrait. Sculptor. Ever.

i saw the 1/4th han solo in person yesterday, and i'm very impressed. you did a great job on him andy.

 

[Seretur]

It is a nice sculpt!

Yup, me too. Just wait til they start to ship and we get those fed ex notices!

I was looking at my watch this morning at 10:45 and thought, "Well this time tomorrow I MIGHT have the main page loaded."

How did you manage that?

 

[Migwit]

I think he's saying he saw the 1/4 scale Han, not the 1/6 Bespin Han. I imagine he saw a 1/4 scale Han at someone's home or in a store...

 

[Poggle the Greater]

My mistake. I misread it.

 

[JohnyBoo]

I am very worried I won't get a mynock. This figure has really been hyped everywhere and it is toyfair weekend also.
