Medicom NAILS Han Solo Likeness!

[enyawd72]

I also wonder: HT has changed the headsculpt for Solo. What if you pre-ordered, and actually wanted the first sculpt? Is it included?

Now that is a very good question. I would say probably not, since I believe every HT release photo says "prototype" until the actual product comes out.

you get what you pay for guys..The medicom is great for the price..but there's a reason why it's so much cheaper

Well, it's still not cheap, otherwise I'd have it already.
Personally, it doesn't always have to be a photo accurate likeness. I still see it as a toy, and therefore I can happily accept a more "toy-like" sculpt. The Medicom is good enough for me. Also, I have moral objections to HT's prices...

I've always been kinda partial to this guy:

I prefer the Medicom. I think it's the expression I like.

RIGHT ON Brother!!

It's so interesting to see these side by side. I mean, they all look like Harrison Ford, yet there are subtle differences that also make them look different.

I prefer the Medicom. I think it's the expression I like. I don't like the pieces of hair falling over his forehead tho.

I also prefer the first version of the Hot Toys sculpt to the new version. Again, it's the expression. I think the new hair is better.

Funny thing is: They all look great! I would be happy to display any of them.

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

yea that's not even close

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.

Be careful what you wish for.

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.

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.

The Medicom sculpt looks like him. Compare the eyes in both and the HT one wins hands down. They look like eyes and not sloppy paint apps like the Medicom.

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.

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!
