Odd looking Palitoy Han Solo MOC, take a look.....

[walkie]

It took me a while to work out what's wrong with this figure, take a look....

Unfortunately there are no prizes for guessing right

Clue 1 - Belt Buckle.

 

[weasel]

There are a few red flags there, that would definitely set alarm bells off.

 

[knopie]

is it the text underneath the palitoy logo?

 

[walkie]

Clue 2 - Ignore the card and bubble, look in detail at the figure + see clue 1

 

[Palifan]

It's the wrong variant of Han in there?

 

[walkie]

Clue 3 - Why is the belt buckle such a strange shape?

I think you'll have to explain as it looks to me like the buckle on the ebay one is a moulding error (although was it originally the different shaped buckle of the three on the TIG site?)

A serious moulding error, sucker punch to the guts...

 

[Palifan]

Didn't even spot that and it's so obvious now :lol:

Well done sir

 

[walkie]

Agreed it's not the easiest thing to spot and I'd be pissed opening that parcel if I brought it

 

[mr_palitoy]

It's been a long day, can someone explain in plain English, what is wrong with that figure?

It took me a while but look at the ebay link and Han's chest, it's like someone's pushed their finger into it.

 

[sparkysx]

Noticed straight away that the chest looked melted,had an atat commander like this, highly doubt this recieved an 80 at afa.........

Why hasn't he added pics of the broken afa case?
