Life-Size Han Solo in Carbonite!
« on: April 13, 2014, 09:03:06 AM »
This is definitely one of the most exspensive SW Collectibles I have seen, but wow what a great item:

Life-Size Han in Carbonite Link







"This magnificent seven-and-a-half foot tall replica captures every detail of the frozen smuggler with stunning realism, just moments after his affectionate parting words, "I know," in The Empire Strikes Back. Expertly recreated in fiberglass and high quality materials, film-accurate light effects in the base, side panels and rear power canisters provide added authenticity to Solo's carbonite prison. Jabba's most sought-after trophy can now belong to you, as a truly unique centerpiece in any home theater, mancave or Star Wars display.

Comes with full-color detailed instructions, some assembly is required.
Ugnaughts not included."

You can balk over the $6,999 price tag, but you have to admit it is one stunning item.

You can get a fan made way more accurate version for 1:4 price and itcan be made with genuine Volvo dashboard parts (or at least good casts) and lights too. SSC is pricing these 1:1 statues like crazy.

Yes, I agree pretty crazy when it comes to price.

I almost feel like these will be purchases for folks who have way too much deniro and don't want to put the time into researching a better one (much like you always do Serg).

If there are people who have too much dinero but no time to do the research, then I guess there is not a problem for them.

I for one doubt I will ever have that problem, but some folks might.

And for set piece for a museum quality like item you have to admit it looks pretty great.

It does look good but only on the surface and with the bling. The accuracy is not really there, there are some issues with the sculpt. See below:

Wow, kind of a shame they didn't get that true original detail captured for that much bacon!

We know SSC makes great stuff, but accuracy is not their motto.

Shipping for this monster to Europe would be as much as the HIC itself. But still nice for SSC to do it.
