Take a closer look at a smuggler…

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!

  5. FlyAndFight says:

    Trevor is simply amazing. That is THE best Harry Ford sculpt I have ever seen, in any scale. Thanks, Trev!!!!

  6. DarthVerbo says:

    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!

  7. Nitro says:

    Very, very cool!! Dead-on likeness of Harrison Ford and the impending pre-order!!! A definate must buy!!!

  8. abake says:

    Fantastic!
    Han is looking great and will certainly be THE Han to have.
    Well done SST and congrats to Trevor on a fantastic sculpt.

  9. Cocoboloboy says:

    Love it! That’s Han for sure.

  10. Sideshowbob says:

    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.

  11. Drewbacca says:

    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.

  12. darren douglas says:

    WOW! This looks awesome, all the more reason to paint it properly, the preview photo looks all bloodshot beady eyed and femme.

  13. Conrado says:

    This is where the fun begins!!!

  14. Naitcrolar says:

    So how turned that incredible sculpt into the poor product you have on the preview page???

  15. Kevin C says:

    Outstanding Sculpt!! Please SSC I ask just one thing, paint his hair color dark brown and not jet black like the ESB version.

  16. crasis says:

    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!!

  17. rjd4short says:

    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.

  18. jedibear says:

    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!)

  19. coolguy says:

    Man that looks good, what the hell happened to the painted version? It doesn’t look like Ford at all.

  20. Jason B. says:

    Amazing. That’s the old pirate himself. Bravo Trevor!

  21. John says:

    This one looks better than the one shown previously maybe its in the painting

  22. DarkArtist81 says:

    Wow….. This thing is amazing. Great job as always Trev. SSC, you guys take good care of those Servers come PPO day. ;)

  23. Remog says:

    Love the sculp, the 12″ line gets better all the time!! Will we ever get a droid or 2 though?

  24. Darth Impulsive says:

    This sculpt is unbelievably good!

  25. KFalcon77 says:

    Truely tremendous work!!

  26. Eddie says:

    Okay, although I am waiting for armored characters that headsculpt is ridiculously life-like. WOW!

  27. arnax says:

    This looks better than the PF!!!

  28. arnax says:

    WOW!!!! I cannot wait for this one!!! This sculpt looks amazing!

  29. RookMonk says:

    Well … they don’t get much better than that, do they? :)
