Hot Toys Han Solo and Chewbacca Sixth Scale Figure Set

Han Solo. I'm captain of the Millennium Falcon. Chewie here tells me you're looking for passage to the Alderaan system?”

Originally an intergalactic smuggler from Corellia, the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope  have opened up Han Solo’s heart and compassion to assist the Rebel Alliance in the struggle with the evil Galactic Empire. Han Solo along with his Wookiee companion, Chewbacca, helped successfully destroy the Death Star and became heroes of the Alliance! Sideshow Collectibles and Hot Toys are very excited to introduce a special set which will include 1/6th scale Collectible Figures of the beloved Han Solo and Chewbacca from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope!

The movie-accurate Han Solo collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Harrison Ford as Han Solo in the film and features a newly developed body, highly detailed costume, weapons, accessories, and a specially designed figure stand. The movie-accurate Chewbacca collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Chewbacca in the film and features a newly developed body, brown fabric hair throughout the whole body that captures Chewbacca’s unique appearance, highly detailed bowcaster and accessory, and a specially designed figure stand.

This Collectible Figure Set will include an additional Stormtrooper belt and blaster rifle for Han Solo and an additional heavy blaster for Chewbacca.

Video game networks still spotty after Kim Dotcom offer

SONYPS4
On the day after Christmas — when millions wanted to test drive new video game systems or games — service remained spotty on Microsoft's Xbox Live and Sony's PlayStation Network.

All that despite an effort by Kim Dotcom, the founder of sharing site Megaupload, who provided the group claiming responsibility for the network shutdowns with free, lifetime vouchers for his new MegaPrivacy website designed to provide encrypted cloud-storage.

Sixth Scale Speederbike | Sideshow Collectibles

Sideshow Deadpool Sixth Scale Figure Up for Order!

Sixth Scale Deadpool Figure with Rocket Launcher Sideshow Collectibles

It used to be that you could count on any new Marvel line of toys or collectibles beginning with one of the “go to” headliner characters of Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America or Iron Man. Things have clearly changed a little bit, as the hottest character at Marvel is a little bit less heroic (and a whole lot more insane!) and Sideshow is planning to capitalize! The Sideshow exclusive Deadpool sixth scale figure is now up for order!
If Sideshow wanted to make a statement that their line of sixth scale Marvel figures was firmly aimed at diehard collectors, they could not have picked a better character to begin with than Deadpool! Unlike characters that have been done to death in every conceivable size, costume and scale (such as Iron Man and Spider-Man), relatively few Deadpool figures are released each year–and every one of them is voraciously devoured by ardent Deadpool fans!

The update includes four Marvel Hot Toys sixth scale figures (that are still available for order), some of which we’ve been waiting for for close to a year and a half! Finally arriving in our hands this winter: the Hot Toys Star-Lord, Falcon, Igor Iron Man and Starboost Iron Man!
