Thanks, guys! Glad you like Ackbar, he was a really good one to make, my rebel forces are stronger than ever! And now, for something completely different.
Okay, everyone knows this year is the 30th anniversary of Empire, and I have certainly been in a mood for all things ESB. While I was digging around through my collection, I realized that I actually didn't have something that I have been desiring for quite some time, a really nice looking, fully articulate Bespin Han. I know they're releasing a Hoth version, in his big winter coat, but that's just not as awesome as his blue jacket outfit. I had the
Torture Rack Han , but everyone who's seen it knows how terrible it is... those anorexic skinny legs, that terrible "tortured" face that just looks like he doesn't know how to close his mouth, that awful mid-torso articulation point that juts out way too much... all kinds of terrible. BUT, I also have a really excellent figure (which I will now need to re-purchase), which is
Shield Generator Han . His face really looks like Harrison Ford, his chest has a nice hidden arty-point, and his shirt is neat and tidy tucked in, plus he actually comes with a blaster belt! So, in Honor of the ESB 30th anniversary, I sacrificed SG Han to make my Ultimate Bespin Han!
Essentially I cracked open SG Han's chest (after basically destroying TR Han's to get at his jacket arms without damaging them at all) and gave him TR's jacket-wearing arms, glued him all back together (after having to try to heat his two chest-halves up enough to align tightly enough that he's not loose), and gave him the vest part of the jacket, which nicely hides the line of separation. I then gave his boots a gloss coat so they would look a bit more distinct from his pants, and painted his droid caller. I had previously painted up his blaster for use with my VOTC Han, so that's now got a silver barrel with teeny little black dots on the flash suppressor (because the sculpt has them on there), as well as some silver "paint chipping" effect. Hope you all like him, but tell me if there's anything you think could be improved!
