Some locals from TFW2005 decided to arrange a little Meet-up on the 22nd, and Smurfette & I decided it might be fun to go check it out. They were having a little swap meet as well, so I brought along the figures I've had on the auction block... I managed to sell a couple, trade a few others, and get a couple nifty figures...
One of which was the Star Wars Tranformers (SWTF) Millenium Falcon (Han & Chewie)... I originally passed on this figure when I saw it in the stores, and now that I have him in hand, I think he's definitely better than most people had let on.
Han is the weaker of the two mechs, but has enough detailing in robot mode to make it obvious it's supposed to be him, with the headsculpt and paint apps (which are supposed to reflect his jacket, pants, & boots). Chewie though? He looks *wonderful* in mech mode! Lots of copper/brown paint apps, the headsculpt is an ingenious bit of craftsmanship, with his 'fur' made up of pipes/wiring! And the combined Vehicle Mode? The Falcon is *obviously* the Falcon, just with an oversized radar dish & quad cannons... Very glad I was able to pick this guy up... Now hopefully this doesn't lead me down the darkside... I've always wanted to pick up the Vader/Deathstar to go along with Primus & Unicron... :D
Thank you again Shawn (Sean?) for your generosity!
