Even though my figure is on its way, I do feel underwhelmed by its face sculpt; and I was already trying to come to terms with its limited accessories.

Finally got this figure this morning from Japan. Initially I had mixed feelings upon opening it. Holding it up close to the eye, it really does look like he has been blasted in the face with mud! Further away, its not so noticible and actually adds definition to the sculpt. Didn't have any major issue with the eyes on mine, although one eye does come up ever so slightly lighter than the other. No big deal really. Didn't see any problems with the nose on my one either. I know some people had been complaining of a 'dent'. Not really noticible at all! I agree, the quality control is slipping a bit on SH Figuarts. Slightly sloppy paint apps on the details of the belt. Still, this figure is 10 times better than any Black series human character. The headsculpt likeness of Harrison Ford is even better than Hot Toys in my opinion. IT IS Han Solo! I'd still really recommend this figure, despite some of its niggling little flaws.
@TheFwoosh7 жыл бұрын
I've seen a couple of pics of other people's Han nose dents and some are insanely flat on the end, it's crazy looking. But that's an easy fix, paint problems are a little tougher. But still I agree, definite upgrade from the Black Series.

Great review as always bro and I do like the figure but at this,price point these QC issues are unacceptable. I've personally felt like for about the last year or so Figuarts has been making more mistakes charging more money and giving us less. There was a time not long ago where if it said Figuarts on the box I knew it was going to be a great figure. They worked hard to get to the top of the import figure hill and now it seems like they are just wresting on their laurels. They need to step up their game again get a more humble attitude and start giving us the top tier quality that they are more then capable of.

I dont disagree with you, if you look at the SHF does with DBZ figures almost all of them come with a handful of additional hands and faces and accessories. I wish the SW line would also come with those types of additions even if it will raise the cost a few dollars at least make it awesome give us cool stuff for the price.

I agree with pretty much all your points but at the same time I do feel like bandai gave us the shaft with accessories. I would've preferred two heads, one with the scoundrel smirk and the other more serious. It seems like they tried to combine the look into one head and it works well enough but I'm used to them going above and beyond. since we don't have two heads I feel like the holster should be replaceable with the stormtrooper as it is on the Hasbro one. for me it's a rare case of the black series being good enough for the shelf if you don't want to shell out the extra dough but once you have it, there's no going back.

Good to see that he scales so well with SHF Luke and Black Chewie. Great review as always sir.
@Jeddostotle77 жыл бұрын
There's also the fact that the SHF Chewie, in addition to not having substantially better paint than the TBS Chewie, is also kinda short, even compared to other SHF figures. Basically, for Chewie, you're paying 3 times the price for better articulation and sliiiightly better paint.

The drop hips wouldn't work on the right with the holster implementation. Bandai has basically gone with making sure the line of the strap and holster itself stays clean, rather than having it stretch, or compensate in another fashion to make the hip drop.

I thought about that too, but they made the obround slot flat piece that hangs from the belt longer than the peg for the holster. The holster pegs through that flat piece into the leg and the longer obround would have compensated for the shift down.

Best youtube review on the New SH Figuarts Han Solo yet. Well done Fwoosh! Pretty much sums up my opinions on the figure from what i've seen of it online. Still waiting for mine to arrive though! Really annoying about the QC issue with the eye. Are they all like that? I suppose a toothpick, a dab of brown/hazel paint and a steady hand could fix it, but yeah, for $60 this should'nt be something you have to worry about. Not too bothered about the lack of extra sculpt, but wish they could have included an E11 and Stormtrooper belt instead of the molded gun in holster! Everything else on the figure looks fantastic. I love the sculpt apart from the Bowie eye. Best likeness of Han Solo of any scale!!! Looking forward to mine arriving!

Spot on review. I'm a big fan of SHF (they've earned that with a lot of great releases) but I won't excuse a faulty faceprint in a figure that comes with ONE head: they should have either released Han with two heads (like Luke or Harley...and even her had the problem of some print mishapps which was aliviated by having three) or made damn sure the digital printing was on point. I have mine bought waiting in a warehouse (that probably tells you which site) and it's a shitty feeling being anxious about how mine turned out. If we pretend that issue isn't there, I think it's a pretty nice release: his face may seem a little chubby but he has a great likeness to Ford, even down to his asymmetrical features. A SHF Indy Jones would probably end up being amazing.
@TheFwoosh7 жыл бұрын
Completely agree. I had some lipstick issues with Harley but because of other head options it was almost a non-issue. Han should have comes with a serious head and a cocky smirk head, minimum. I'm happy, but not overly happy, I guess, heh. And hell yeah, an Indy would be amazing!

I've heard so many different opinions on ol' Han: bad sculpt, good sculpt, flattened nose, excellent paint, botched paintjob... it seems a lottery which version you're gonna get. Yours is pretty nice, except for the Chirrut Imwe eye. But you're right, SHF is copping out on the things it made them stand out. this Hans really deserves the extra smirky head and the stormtrooper belt. But in the end, it's the best available right now. They just HAVE to give us a Leia now!

Great review, as always - am still bloody-well waiting for mine to arrive! But good to know about the eyes/head issue. I'd heard similar comments on IG, but no one went into the same detail. Am thinking I'll get a recast head from somewhere and paint that up, rather than risk repainting the Figuarts head, as I'm not 100% on how that'd go! Am with you on the whole Figuarts giving less and less over time - I'd have preferred a gloved shooting hand (again, maybe another recast and conversion job) or another head, over the holster. I've already aired my views about Padme costing so much and will probably skip R2 and C3PO as the Bandai model kits are so good, and unmasked Kylo was a pass too. It's sad, as it's not like they're bad figures, but when they've set their standard soooo high, any dip becomes very, very apparent.

Yeah, I passed on unmasked Kylo too, just too much money, especially being an exclusive, for essentially the same body I already had with a new head and accessory.

Now Bandai SH figuarts really just trying to rob us with little to no accessories but cost more than $50+, and they still use the plastic cape for the upcoming Dr. Strange while other companies already used cloth cape for a more realistic feel and allow for more articulation. Kind of weird that they're using cloth cape for their new Dark Knight figure but not Dr. Strange.

I remember the days when the best Ford sculpt on an action figure was from a Sideshow Collectibles 1/6 figure. And then a few years later the bar was upped again by Sideshow on their 1/4 Premium Format statues, and then Hot Toys gave it their all but turned out 1/6 Han/Indy sculpts that looked more like Zack Snyder than Harrison Ford. I say this only to really emphasize that it's a Herculean task getting a decent Ford sculpt, and the fact that Bandai Tamashii Nations managed to get respectably close in a 6 inch scale is an achievement worthy of song and revelry. But, we have seen more impressive stuff from SHF -- Luke, Ep1 Obi, Mace, Maul. And this Han only includes one headsculpt whereas ALL OTHER SHF Star Wars figures come with two. By these metrics Han is kinda disappointing to me. *sigh* Anyway, thanks for the review, as always.

Help me robo you're my only hope. I collect Hot Toys and Sideshow Star Wars figures. I have a bunch and they are KILLING my bank account. Now I only collect Darkside characters and watching your vids has me itching to start a smaller line. I feel like I'm too late for the black series, what do you consider to be the best articulated 6" figs. Model kits? Not sure I have the patience but they do look great. I just think I like taking them out of the box and putting them on my shelf with little to no effort lol. Any advice is appreciated. Do you feel it's too late to start collecting Black Series figs at this point if I want Sandtroopers and figs like that which have already been released? sorry for the long winded question. I was hoping the 3.75 articulated line would be more promising, but it looks like they are few and far between these days which sucks.

Hello there! Thx for this review! Well I have got my Han Solo too, and ...I'm dissapointed...( I like the figures all, but when I took a closer look on him, I found a couple small, but annoying issues on him. What you mentioned in your review ( strange colored face, eye not that nice ), but mine has two more issues. A bigger kind of deep scratch under his chin..and the top of his nose ( if you look closely ) a bit pushed in. I dont know this can be found just on mine, or all Han has a same problem. Please take a look on yours, and share with me your experiences. Thank you very much. ( sry about my crap English :-) )
@kennethhuertas84557 жыл бұрын
B NCS The pushed in nose can remedied with a little heat. I fixed mine by simply holding it over steam from boiled water for about 10 seconds and the nose conformed to its original shape on its own.

Yeah, like Kenneth said, put a little heat to the nose and it should pop out, I've heard that from several people.
