 Cool Retro Packaging:

While they are not in these mock ups the figures do come with accessory's. 

This packaging is exclusive to this Kickstarter.

The Bonus figures:

An exclusive Spawn of  Cthulhu that is transparent green, in the act of being conjured.

The High Priest is a Cultist variant.

There are more stretch goals to come with HP Lovecraft himself and a giant sized 12" Cthulhu, check out the announcement and pictures on ign here. 

The Author is a variant of The Professor.

Check out the company Warpo and then make your way over and consider the Kickstarter.

Mission series: Death Star Chewbacca and Han Solo

MS07 Chewbacca and Han Solo

The Mission Series: Death Star two pack comes with Chewbacca and Han Solo.

These figures are made by Hasbro.

The packaging is collector friendly in that the figures can sometimes be removed and returned without damaging the packaging.

There are two figures in the pack, each is 3 3/4 scale and has five points of articulation like the old Kenner Star Wars figures of my youth.

Chewbacca

We will start with Chewbacca, he looks good, definitely a more detailed sculpt than his original figure.

He stands well and has his traditional "man bag".

 His hair is very nicely detailed. The paint isnt too bad at all, except for the teeth perhaps.

 He does not come with a stand unfortunately. But he stands well enough on his own on those bigfeet...

His weapon will need some assembly and glue if you want it to stay together. An adult should do this before the small pieces are lost.

His hands are specifically molded for his weapon which means he has trouble holding anything else and everyone else has trouble using his accessory.

Han Solo

Now for the other figure who is supposed to be Han Solo, but kind of looks like His grandfather.

His legs are a little spindly and he does like to fall over a little, a stand would have helped.

 Those boots are quite the statement, very shinny and rubbery looking.

 He is the largest buckle award holder three years in a row.

Flying a spaceship can be hairdressing, My figure has a white patch out of the butt of his pants. Very unfortunate.

 He only has one small weapon.

Unfortunately his wizened old hands are sculpted to hold his weapon specifically and have trouble holding other accessory's.

Scale:

Both figures are 3 3/4 scale, though Chewbacca towers over Hans, and that is how it should be.

They fit in alright with the ReAction figures by Funko and Super 7, though their facial sculpts are much more realistically detailed.
