Medicom NAILS Han Solo Likeness!

[The Bat]

I keep waiting for HT to put a decent Harrison Ford likeness, but the keep blowing it! The messed up Indy and now the new Han Solo. The likeness kind of resembles him...but they are "off" just enough to keep from buying them. So imagine my surprise to find this Medicom figure with the BEST Han Solo likeness I've seen yet. Why can't Hot Toys afford a decent Sculptor...and who signs off on the figures?

You're joking right?

They may have an occasional miss, but they're still the best out there hands down.

They also revised the Han Solo sculpt making it even better. I don't think the Medicom can touch the HT on the right.

No, you're right...most of their stuff is AWESOME. Poor phrasing on my part. What I meant was, why can't they find some one that can capture Harrison Ford's likeness??
Believe me...I'm a HARDCORE HT fan...I have MANY of them. My DOFP Wolverine just arrived yesterday, and it's THE BEST Hughe Jackman sculpt yet!

As for the two pictures you posted, the one on the right IS an improvement...but still looks off to me. I still think the Medicom one is better.

^It's all good. Everyone's taste is different...I still think you're crazy though.

The painting on the HT one is of course better. But I think a "re-paint" on the Medicom one might change your mind.

Well, I'm just the guy to do it. Send it my way when you get it.

I'll make him LIVE!!! Muwahahahahaha!

Seriously? Are you a really good HT type painter? Because I will take you up on that!

The Medicom sculpt looks like him, but there is no life in the face. And those overly plump stray hairs on the forehead look terrible. Compare the eyes in both and the HT one wins hands down. They look like eyes and not sloppy paint apps like the Medicom.

I think the eyes are the biggest problem with Medicom one...that's why I'm going to have enyawd72 re-paint them for me.

That is some seriously thick strands of hair on that Medicom Han.

Well, any decent Customizer could easily remove, or shave them down. I own Magic Sculpt putty and know how to use it.

I'd happily settle for the Medicom. I have three, all of which I paid no more than $60 a piece for (MIMB). I pick them up at conventions: buyers seem to be confused by the generic black box without any photos of the figure. Good for me!
I'm hoping someone will sell his Medicoms or Sideshows once the HT versions are released. They're welcome in my toyroom anytime.

That said, the new HT sculpt for Han is better. Credits to HT for listening to the collectors.

Be careful what you wish for.
