I really struggle with these for a lot of the reasons already listed above...
- The packaging is utterly awful
- Broadly speaking they take up a LOT of space
- The pricing is just stupidly high
- The resale market is even sillier
- SOME of the sculpts/paint apps are absolutely terrible
- It really annoys me (as a Han focus collector) that Han Solo is without doubt the worst of all of the entire range and the paint mask for the face was created by a really angry elf.... he looks truly evil and no vintage version in 3 3/4 scale I have seen looks anything like him facially.
HOWEVER...
I do own two, both are out of packaging (see above)
- Hammerhead - Actually I think it's truly stunning, it actually emphasises how good the original sculpt is/was. This one sits on my desk
- Rebel Soldier - possibly one of the only decent looking human figures, he sits in my Rebel Soldier cabinet.
I also covet some of the droids as well as 4-LOM and Zuckuss, just wish the pricing was more sensible as I would have to make space to put them in my collection and have to justify the spend too.
