Thanks! This is my second attempt at a look for Chewie. I'm leaving it for now until I can figure out a way to make the head look a little leaner. When I've tried, the hair just looks flat and the face looks squashed sort of.
I like what you did there chobits. That's the kind of the look I wanted to get, but the face on mine keeps turning out a little too wide.
Make him look taller if you want to downplay that. If he's crouched that might accentuate the size of the head but if you make him pretty tall it might look more proportional. Just a thought.

Looks great! Maybe the nose is too glossy even though it looks cool, but everything else looks fantastic.
He was partly crouched in the picture, but the angle made him look smaller. I noticed that when viewing the pictures again on my computer after uploading them with my phone. He's standing taller on my shelf though. From where I'm sitting at on the couch he looks pretty good. Head still looks too wide, but I'm satisfied for now until I get the urge to mess with him again.
Yeah lens distortion often makes the proportions of these figures a little wonky.

Thank you! Thread is great with tips and images.
Just keep workin chewie, fett. He's looking great. his head does look a bit big, you could trick it with making the top part a flat. like comb his forehead up/out then shape it however you want and do it somewhat kimpy.

yeah I got a replacement and it`s 10x better then my first Chewbacca I received still futzing with him. good luck with yours
Completely lighter face than any of the others, if that's right out of the box.
Those are some pretty washed out photos though. The black box is basically gray. I think this is a gold/white blue/black dress type of thing.
No, the color looks pretty correct to me in the Chewie shots. The many Chewies before, including mine, were much, much darker that that one.
That's how it should have come out of the package. Perhaps HT finally corrected the last batch. Or Bergamini has done some work quietly. Time will tell if any more like this appear.
Of course, now you almost need to darken some areas.

Yeah like mine too, the upper legs on mine are black. I should sell it to Chewblacca.
Thanks and yes was thinking the nose might be a tad too glossy but looking at screencaps it changes from one scene to the next. Still might dull it back a little and tweak the lip color.
For anyone who's interested here's a few screencaps and stills i used. View attachment 220456View attachment 220455
That's nice to provide.
That one on the bottom left, blurry but really shows the coloring well.
I may need to break out the acrylics...
