This item is release by a company call Sideshow and they are releasing a range of Star
Wars action figures with realistic face sculpt. Sideshow have some quite talented sculptor
who can produce sculpting that are at least 80% close to the real person. It is the face
sculpting that attract me to buy.
This figure bought at Berjaya Timesquare.

Figure and Articulation
I got no complain on the articulations and the body comes with very solid joints. Some
might complain that the small hand peg might easily break off. However, I am use to Japanese
toys and I have handled smaller peg so I am quite comfortable with it. In overall, the body
gives a very durable feel comparing to a Japanese toys.

12 inches figure with over 30 point of articulations. I manage to strip the
doll naked but I could not find a way to safely remove the head. |

The 'Thinking Man' test on articulations. Right hand cannot touch forehead in
this pose. The head look extremely big when naked. |
Photo of the figure with clothes on. The articulation on lower body is almost
unhindered by the clothing whereas his jacket slightly limit the arm movement by
a bit. |
Face Sculpt
The face sculpt for this Han Solo is only so and so. The lower jaw area is too fat for
the young Harrison Ford. Sideshow has another premium format statue figure and the face
sculpting look much better than this. It will be nice if they can incorporate that head
sculpt here.
The head sculpt is all the way down to the neck so the neck hinder the head up and down
movement.
Action Pose
Han Solo with some action pose. Note that the head is slightly big for his body.
This item comes with very few accessories and there are no spare hand to swap. I have to
bear with his trigger-finger hand in a relax pose.
The figure is quite stable even when in a pose and a doll stand is
not required for photos.

I am trying to pose him as seen in Star Wars Episode 3 where he is negotiating with
another alien in Mos Eisley's Cantina. Sorry, wrong costume. :P |
What is Han Solo without a cool babe? Hehehe. |

Story from the Box Art
Fleeing before a wrathful Darth Vader, the Rebel Alliance scatters, abandoning its
secret base on the planet Hoth. With a malfunctioning hyper drive and the Sith Lord's fleet
on his tail, brash pilot-turned-freedom-fighter, Han Solo throws his ship, the Millennium
Falcon, into a series of jinks and maneuvers in a vain effort to loose his pursuers. After
hiding in an asteroid field and staging an audacious disappearing act right on the stern of
an Imperial Star Destroyer, Solo opts to bet everything on the trust of an old acquaintance
and speeds the Falcon to Cloud City on Bespin for repairs.
Onboard the fleeing ship, Princess Leia performs her own evasive maneuvers. Deftly
fending the Corellian's roguish advances, she entrusts her fate to him nonetheless, knowing
Solo's plan is their best chance for escape.
Han Solo is a man with two lives- his past, as a rogue and a scoundrel, and his present,
a man with a reason to live and fight, beyond his own selfish needs. In seeking refuge on
Cloud City, Solo risks everything on the character of his former associate, Lando
Calrissian, the facility's dashing Baron Administrator. In Lando, Princess Leia sees much of
the man Han Solo used to be, but the degree to which he has changed and the truth of her own
love for him only becomes clear to the Princess when Calrissian betrays them all to Lord
Vader.
Prisoners of the Empire, and standing at the edge of the pit into which Han Solo will be
lowered and likely die, an understanding passes between Leia and Solo- a promise for the
future, and a reason to stay alive.
