This is what he posted on FB. I don't think Sideshow has a history of after-the-fact PR. Generally, they present their pieces and don't respond or react to criticism. Not sure why this piece would be any different.
@sideshow 's Boba Fett and Han in Carbonite I designed and sculpted.
When designing a statue I will always do a photo shoot in which I get into the pose or explore poses I would like to see.
I also get into the pose many times in the sculpting process to feel/understand the body mechanics.
I really love how this one turned out. The sideshow team did an amazing job!!

So you’re saying you believe this pose was the end goal all along, correct? As in there was perhaps 10 different pose candidates, and this was the one that was narrowed down to be the best one? Putting this another way, do you believe Boba Fett would be in this pose if the Han carbonite wasn’t part of the statue? Personally, I would say it’s possible but not probable.

I believe this was Matt Black's vision, and Sideshow's engineering department made it happen. I don't have any reason to make it more complicated than that.

I honestly don't know why it's so hard of a concept to grasp for some of you guys. The artist clearly had a vision, concept, and then engineered it.
There is no conspiracy.

If you?ve ever taken a structural engineering course or even just remember a thing or two from basic physics, it?s exceedingly obvious this is the only pose possible (or some small variation of this unless a lot of unnecessary structure was used to lift up the carbonite) given the constraints. The carbonite floats because of the need to prominently exhibit it. If it was just placed behind Boba and not floating, with or without lean or not touching, it would effectively be blocked. If it was placed side to side or slightly to the side and behind, it would look stupid(er). So this is how we got here. A bad compromise for a statue concept that probably shouldn’t have been greenlit.
I know some of you are fans of SSC like Apple fans that never question anything and I give you that 95% of the statue design criticism on these forums are extremely subjective, but this one is a slam dunk as to what happened.

People here calling the sculptor a liar have no evidence.
Also, his bulky jetpack is touching the carbonite and Boba is effectively leaning into both his jetpack and the slab. That's why his feet are so far forward.
Assuming the carbonite wouldn't move, looks fine.

The carbonite is in a slight angle and it’s behind a wall giving support that it wouldn’t move. Matt should not have based his sculpt on that reference giving he does not have a jet pack on.

I question Sideshow all the time. I just don't have anything to question with this piece, yet.
I don't think many collectors are taking into consideration structural engineering or physics. They either like the piece, or they don't.

If he had a backpack on his feet would be even further away from Han, yet have the same angle of lean. It makes no difference.
