This bad boy is going to be about 1 1/2 feet tall. That’s too damned cool.

Here’s a Sideshow Toys webpage for more info and to order…

Han Solo 1:4 Scale at Sideshow Toys

Here are some pics…

Sorry, link on second pic was bad. Go to the Web page linked above and click on the other image shown at the bottom of the page. It shows the detail work on his pants, belt, and hands.

Whoa, I'd love to have one of these, but the collectors will probably beat me to it.

I'd prefer a full size yoda or R2

or better yet...ill take one that size if its of leia (white dress or slave outfit) or natalie portman (any outfit, though the white one she had on in AOTC would be best)

I somehow doubt my wife would appreciate a 1:4 scale Leia in our townhouse.

I hear ya, Simon. And, no, she would not mind that at all. Although she'd prefer him looking like he did in Indiana Jones or the Jack Ryan films.

At 1/4 scale, it wouldn't be hard to make clothes to fit over the Han Solo statue.

Princess Leia: I happen to like nice men.
Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

Yeah, but it's still not the same in terms of hair and the look of his face. You'd have to paint on the stubble beard and whatnot which ruins the collectible value of the Han Solo figure in itself. Plus, I'd really rather not ruin something that cost me US$250 to begin with.

I think it's your computer that doesn't work, Sean. You couldn't load the WMV of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog and you can't load this page. I've tested it on both PC and Mac in four different browsers on each and all of them load it fine. Might want to check with your school's IT department.

It does, doesn't it?

Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

They already have a full scale Yoda out anyway, it looked pretty kickass.

Here ya go:




Here is another Yoda statue from the mid 1990s:




To tell you the truth, I like the ESB Yoda statue better.

The ESB statue is far better. More true to the source material. The AOTC Yoda looks like he's 300 years older than the one that should actually be older.

Yeah, the ESB statue looks like it could start moving and talking @ any time. Sweet stuff.

Han Solo: I'm a nice man.

I was looking at that final shot of Yoda really closely and I was suddenly struck by how similar some of his facial features are to E.T. Never noticed that before.
