We have been overwhelmed by the excitement that we received after last week’s announcement of our newest Star Wars 12-inch figure – Han Solo: Smuggler – Tatooine! Here’s what the sculptor, Trevor Grove, had to say about his part in bringing this much-anticipated figure to life:
“Receiving the call to make this sculpture was an indescribable honor! As a fan of Star Wars I was thrilled at the chance to sculpt Han Solo for the 1/6 scale line, and I was also immediately intimidated at the level of difficulty that he presented. It’s strange that such a recognizable face would be so challenging, however, Ford is probably to this day the most difficult, interesting, and compelling face I’ve had the privilege to attempt in 3D.”
Click on the photos below to get a closer look at the unpainted head sculpt for our newly announced Han Solo: Smuggler 12-inch figure, and be sure to tune in on Friday, December 14th, 2007, at 10 AM (Pacific Time) for the Priority Pre-Order event!

great looking sculpt, lets all hope the final paintjob is up to task.
Simply thankful that Trevor is on the SSC team.
I’m sure sometimes you impress even yourself, Trevor…BLOODY GOOD SHOW!
Daang!! Looks like you guys are pulling out all the stops. Looks amazing SS. Keep up the great work.
Trevor is simply amazing. That is THE best Harry Ford sculpt I have ever seen, in any scale. Thanks, Trev!!!!
FRIKIN AMAZING!!!! Sculpt is dead on. ANyone who complained about the sculpt last week should go to the eye doctor. WOW! Better than the PF sculpt and that one was fantastic!
Very, very cool!! Dead-on likeness of Harrison Ford and the impending pre-order!!! A definate must buy!!!
Fantastic!
Han is looking great and will certainly be THE Han to have.
Well done SST and congrats to Trevor on a fantastic sculpt.
Love it! That’s Han for sure.
It’s funny whay paint can do. The sculpt by itself looks stern and badd @$$– but with paint, it softens and looks gentle.
Anywho, THIS is gonna be the defintitive Han figure. This has raised the bar.
Wow, this is amazing. Really like a young Harrison Ford. I think this now on the must-buy list just like all the other upcoming Sideshow 12″ releases.
WOW! This looks awesome, all the more reason to paint it properly, the preview photo looks all bloodshot beady eyed and femme.
This is where the fun begins!!!
So how turned that incredible sculpt into the poor product you have on the preview page???
Outstanding Sculpt!! Please SSC I ask just one thing, paint his hair color dark brown and not jet black like the ESB version.
Wow. These pictures immediately changed my opinion of this sculpt. The preview pic looked awful, but this is a spot-on likeness. Trevor rules! I am so sold on this!!
You can’t ask for better than that; perfection, only thing left is the painting. Sometimes I would like to have one portrait raw like this and then one painted, that way if the painting looks a little of I can still go back to looking at perfection. Well done, Trevor.
Give us a killer paint app (like Leia/Boussh) to go with this excellent sculpt and we’ll have another one knocked out of the ballpark!
Congratulations, Trevor on a job most well done! (And thank you!)
Man that looks good, what the hell happened to the painted version? It doesn’t look like Ford at all.
Amazing. That’s the old pirate himself. Bravo Trevor!
This one looks better than the one shown previously maybe its in the painting
Wow….. This thing is amazing. Great job as always Trev. SSC, you guys take good care of those Servers come PPO day.
Love the sculp, the 12″ line gets better all the time!! Will we ever get a droid or 2 though?
This sculpt is unbelievably good!
Truely tremendous work!!
Okay, although I am waiting for armored characters that headsculpt is ridiculously life-like. WOW!
This looks better than the PF!!!
WOW!!!! I cannot wait for this one!!! This sculpt looks amazing!
Well … they don’t get much better than that, do they?
Okay, here we go again, Trevor’s gonna melt down the Sideshow server at ten AM Friday morning, just like he did with Old Ben. Another fantastic release, Sideshow!
