Sideshow Collectibles' has me all warm and fuzzy with its #StarWars Captain #HanSolo Hoth figure
I’d like to consider I have solid resolve on figures. Much as I want to, I won’t pull the trigger on buying the still elusive Hot Toys Hawkeye figure, which regularly sells for over $600 on eBay, but Sideshow Collectibles has found my figure Kryptonite. Yep, more shots of their “Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back” Hoth set. And this one features everyone’s favorite scoundrel. From Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, relive your favorite moments leading up to the Battle of Hoth with the Sideshow Collectibles Captain Han Solo – Hoth Sixth Scale Figure.
Though hiding and freezing on the wretched ice cube doesn’t sit well with the smuggler’s disposition, when Rebel Commander Luke Skywalker goes missing during a routine patrol, Solo has no choice but to leap onto the back of an ill-fated Tauntaun and go out after him. Fully equipped with a blaster pistol, macrobinoculars, droid caller, and portable life scanner, he’s willing to risk everything on a rescue mission to find his friend and save the day.
This Luke Skywalker and Han Solo set looks great, I would get that DX07 Luke before I get these Jeff, but that’s just me. You’re right about ‘Hawkeye’, he’s become expensive as hell man, but I have seen some here and there go for a shade under $500. If you can find one in the $450-$475 range you definitely should go after it if it’s within your budget. What most impresses me about ‘Hawkeye’ is the detail, sculpt, design, arrow set and sheer weight of him, he’s solid and not one of those fragile light feeling figures.
I’m trying to do what Barry suggested and just cobble one together from various parts auctions on eBay, but even that’s been hard to do lately. :-(
