dang no kiddin, whats up with the awkward criticisms in showoff threads today? :unsure
looks really great man.
the hair as the wook pointed out is very VERY well done in ROTJ fasion, in fact i think the hair is one of the best parts of this piece.
i get the thing swampbug was trying to say about the recesed eyes thing, because mayhews eyes often seemed a little further back, but i think there intention back then was to get the look say ROTS or even the wooks tour suit, it just sits a little better, as they have made advancements etc. in the construction and fit to the wearer. (correct me if im wrong wook)
and im sure anyone who has met Mr. Mayhew can attest...
he has VERY bright blue eyes, not to sound... :love but they seriously are a crazy bright blue. and there were no contacts used for chewy so...
and the mouth issue is due to the lighting etc. its there on the real prop, its probably that its more visible in the light the guy has it in.
now im not saying its an EXACT ROTJ screen used 100% perfect replica...
but then again ive never seen one, in real life, on forums... anywhere.
and i know quite a few people that would know so...
yeah in short, your post was a little outa place for a showoff thread and there are actual credible reasons why. :cheers
peace.

Rather harsh post, swampbug, considering this is a showoff thread of a finished piece of art; not a thread in which the author's asking for criticism. In fact if you had taken the time to read his original post, you would've seen that the mannequin has already been placed with a buyer. (And I'm sure an ecstatic buyer, at that.)
Besides, you should really reacquaint yourself with the ROTJ Chewie look if you think things like the hair are wrong--because rileyreplicas got Chewie's ROTJ look just right.

Nice. I think it looks pretty freaky though, Or do you want. I dont know how easy it is to tweak something like this. Something about the afro poof hair, and the neon blue eyes, the freaky long stretched grin, the metal teeth. The fur quality and color are great, and the props on him are cool as heck.
Comb the hair differently maybe.
Tone the eyes back a little, darken them up, push them back more so more shadow hits them.
Relax the mouth, or fake it by combing hair in front of the outer corners to mask that long stretchy grin.
I dont know what the deal is with the teeth, they just look metal, and squarish.
