AHHNNNG HNNNG HNNNNNNNG!
My father used to like
Chewbacca, but I was never his biggest fan, so I wasn't too particular about which Chewie I was getting as long as he wasn't Return of the Jedi's, since that one comes with a prisoner's collar. So I got Solo's Chewie, he looks a bit brighter than your average Chewbacca, but he was super cheap, which was all that I
really needed.
On the sculpt department... man, we've come a
long way! I used to own a few Kenner Chewbacca's, even a bootleg one, and those figures were about as tall as the other heroes... not so anymore! This guy looks huge, and the detail is fantastic. From his bandolier straps, to how the fur goes over his hands.... everything looks
amazing. He also comes with a pair of goggles I'm never using as well as a shotgun-like blaster.
The articulation is just like the other modern Black Series' figures, with single jointed knees and elbows, as well as a ball jointed ab-crunch. Due to the shape of his head, turning is head is a bit of a hassle. One thing to keep in mind is that his arms have more range than it looks, you simply have to use a
tiny bit of force to push the soft-plastic fur-ends of his arms. He is about two heads taller than Bucky Cap.
Quite honestly, this Chewie is everything I needed a Chewbacca figure to be. I feel like I won't ever need another Chewie in my collection. Detail is great, articulation is great and the likeness is great too.
