1/6 Hot Toys - MMS 262 - Star Wars Episode IV - 1/6th scale Chewbacca Collectible Figure

[FullMetalHippie]

Great futz work Para. Really digging the ROTJ look. My Chewie is out for delivery today. Whoop whoop!

Rory, do you have any straight on shots you could share? Possibly a side by side of the 2 different sculpts? Thanks in advance.

That's the Sideshow EX which won't ship for another couple weeks.

Bowcaster all the way with my Chewie.

Ohh thanks FullMetal.. So only the US will have this.. Just like the Rocket and Groot set with the "extra" potted groot.

The cross eye look that can be seen on some Chewie's is simply fixed, you just need to futz the bridge of the nose. There are holes into actual the head at the nose side of each eye, you can wet, set, and stick a brush in here to open the eye area and remove the cross eye look, it's actually just a fur problem.

I'm unclear here -- are you saying the eyes can be moved? Not understanding "opening the eye area to remove the crosseyed look". What are you actually moving, Rory?

Pinching in the hair/bridge of the nose to open up the eye area so the pupils are more centered looking than appearing like they are too close to the bridge of the nose.

Sounds like the fur is sort of like a mask and can be moved around to reveal the eyes underneath, centering them if needed.

 

[davejames]

Yeah it sounds like it's more about adjusting and narrowing the nose a bit, more than adjusting the eyes themselves.

No man, the eyes are locked. The fur around the bridge of the nose isn't set as thinly as it can be. If you wet the area and use the top of a brush you can press it back and out creating a clearer space around the eyes. It's like pulling back grass back. There is a strange hole at the inner eye area where you can actual insert a brush tip. It makes sense when you have it in hand.

I think its the fur part that can move, re-aligning the eyes

I would hope so too, but I've learned to not put much hope in these things.

 

[Stealth V3teran]

Futzed with chewie some more today

 

[paramoremcr88]

Looking good!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, that looks great.

This HT Chewie does lend itself to ROTJ "blow-out" Chewbacca more than the ANH style.

 

[Invictus Sol]

Looking good!

Ditto. He looks awesome there.
