My Han Solo in Carbonite. 1/4 Scale. I love it !

[Alan Castillo]

:lol


OK. So I've been drooling uncontrollably for the past month or so with all the fantastic HIC builds here, talk about inverted Volvo panels etc.

Unfortunately, I concluded that getting one for myself was out of the question. Too big, and thus shipping to this rock where I live is :eek :eek :eek $$$

I was therefore amazed a couple of weeks back, to come across a HIC that is 1/4 scale, and at a very reasonable cost.

So I grabbed it :lol

It's 51 X 21 cms. The panels are a 'tad' far from screen-accurate :angel ... amongst some other shortcomings.

BUT ... it's mine, and I love it :love :love

It fits into my deco perfectly, and if you have no space, and can't afford too much $$, this isn't bad at all I think.

It's made of fibreglass & resin and is 'hollow' at the back.

I always wanted one of these to go behind my Sideshow 1/4 Boba Fett. Any chance you have the contact info for the person who made this?

 

[Alan Castillo]

PM sent Brad

 

[Amish Trooper]

ditto could I get the same info? Thanks

he is a recaster, please avoid.

-z

edit, i see he has started selling the 3po heads now, a recast of a head he got from dishman.

also goes by the name brakenchevy (on ebay) , funky monkey props etc...

i have a folder dedicated to this t**t

on confronting him about selling copies of my i,robot head he said and i quote

"i give you my word i'll not sell any on ebay"

as you can see from the attached pic he is a liar and a thief

despite how it was made that is pretty awesome.
han in carbonite has always been something i've wanted myself since i was a kid.
goodjob man.

I don't think this piece is a recast (?).

From what ? I've never seen a 1/4 HIC before (?)

And having the obligation to protect identities due to strict EU Data Protection laws, I can however say that I was dealing with 2 ladies, not a he.

Are you sure we are talking about the same person ?

Applause made some
STAR WARS HAN SOLO In Carbonite Statue NEW IN BOX on eBay!

Stands 9 3/4" T X 5 1/2' W X 3 1/2" D
But it's only 1/6 scale at that size
I have one behind my Gentle Giant Boba

 

[Amish Trooper]

It could be based off the Target exclusive 12" figure pack

 

[Alan Castillo]

This one is 20".

The Applause is 9.75". The Target is 12".

I don't think this is a recast.

edit - 'based on', perhaps (?). Never seen an Applause or Target to be able to give an opinion. But if it is, I can see nothing wrong in that, as all HIC's are 'based on' the original prop. Yes / no ?

 

[Alan Castillo]

Anyway, before I got this, I had to make do with a HIC bar of soap, & his little brother

 

[zorg]

he hides behind names, everything he gets hold of he recasts because he has no talent.

a fact is a fact is a fact, he is a recaster and thats final. i can provide further evidence if need be.

avoid this scum!

heres a pic i took of his flikr account before he went and deleted it

 

[Alan Castillo]

Well, all I can say is that anybody who knows me, knows I would never knowingly buy a recasted item. I am against using someone else's work for either profit or even 'glory'.

 

[zorg]

take it from me it will be a recast, the less screen time this jerk gets the better

pity its not jail time :thumbsdown

No prob. Seller details removed.

But I still love my HIC, and I still think this is not a recast.

thank you.

 

[Alan Castillo]

Does anybody know if a 1/4 HIC was ever made before ?

 

[cannibal869]

Slight necrothread revival...

Anyway, I have one in my office.

I got it from a lady in England, so I don't *think* that it's a recast.
