It's almost April, and no images of the 1/6 figure?

Oh they showed it, hahaha. It was such a stinker that they took the pictures down within 2 days because the portrait looked like a generic $10 Barbie. It was getting shredded on Facebook. Couldn't believe it.

You can't have Jennifer Lawrence's first 1/6 scale look nothing like her. 1/6 portraits have some of the best likenesses in the entire hobby. The community won't have it.

Sorry - I also forgot to mention this is a Star Ace Toys piece. Hot Toys would not do us dirty like this.

Star Ace, not Hot Toys.

They're reworking it since there were so many complaints over the likeness. It was bad, trust me.

Ah I see

Hot Toys are normally pretty good.
I have to admit, they are off with Harrison Ford's likeness for Han Solo.
Which probably explains why it remains in stock:

The Hot Toys Princess Leia production piece looks exceptional. Not that I own one.

I'll agree here, but it's not awful either. The original had been long sold out, but they re-released the OT Han and Chewie. So this is the 2nd wave of this run.

The TFA Han portrait is possibly the best HT portrait to date though. Spot on.

There appears to be a new Han Solo and it looks less like Harrison Ford than Han Solo mentioned in the previous post.

No, it's in stock because the majority bought the double pack that contained both Han & Chewie, Also because both the double pack and singles sold out, they made it again

My eye's are fine.

The Han Solo Stormtrooper only bears a passing resemblance. 6/10 at best. The face reminds me of a certain American comedian, who's name i can't remember right now.
Unlike the Hot Toys Princess Leia, which is an easy 10/10
