Edit - The two Han Solo VOTC/VSTC figures -
(http://www.rebelscum.com/OTC/VOTChansololoose-m.jpg)
and
(http://www.rebelscum.com/TSC/tscVhantrenchloose-m.jpg)
Which do you prefer? Which one is a better figure?
Also, are you happy that Han has gotten two versions already that are so similar while so many other characters have not had any figures made in this style yet?
:)
-
So far this is the only VOTC/VSTC character that has received two different figures...
You sure?
-
Oh yeah, Luke. Anyone else I missed?
:)
-
I don't own the VOTC Han, but I do own the VTSC Han.
But comparing pics and such, I like the Endor Han more because it's an improvement from one of my favorite POTF2 figures, plus it's an Endor figure, and everybody loves Endor. :P
-
I prefer the 04' VOTC.
-
I think I prefer the '04 version too... it's just more of the classic look that I like for Han Solo. And while the '06 version has a removable vest, it seems a bit bulky on him. Still both are fantastic figures.
:)
-
I prefer VOTC Han for the fact it is probably the best figure Hasbro has made ever.
VTSC Han is still better than 95% of the line.
Upset that Han and Luke have gotten 2? Nope. Make all the Lukes and All the Hans from the Vintage line again in the Super Articulated style. Better them than Aliens or prequel figs.

For some reason, I don't agree with that statement.

I concur.
VOTC Han Solo is the single greatest action figure of our time.
-
Hmmm... I agree it's awesome as hell, but I think a few are better.
- Early Bird Chewbacca
- VOTC Vader
- VOTC Stormtrooper
- VSTC Scout Trooper
- SAGA Ephant Mon
Of course, those are of non-humans or have helmets on.
:)
-
- Early Bird Chewbacca
He's #2 on my list... but VOTC Han is still the best. ;)
-
Pilot Obi, anyone?
-
Bah! If they would have fixed his ankle joints so they matched his boots, he'd be close to the top...
Han's ankle joints? Black, just like his boots.
Ergo, VOTC Han Solo is better than ROTS #55 Obi-Wan Kenobi and therefore, VOTC Han Solo is the single greatest action figure of our time. :)
-
To each his own, my friend!
-
I prefer the Endor Han. It has most (if not all) of the first VOTC figure's features, plus a trenchcoat. Add to it that the Endor Han was the only Han figure I had in the vintage days and that this is a great update that I've been waiting years for- that's what makes it top in my opinion.
-
And that my friend is a good explanation for why you prefer it. Well put.
:)

Pros and Cons
VOTC
Pros
Super Articulation
Great Likeness
Cons
Built in Vest
Loose blaster holdster
blaster not painted right
VSTC Han Solo
Pros
Removable Vest
Torso Joint
Super Articulation
Great Likness
Cons
The Trenchcoat is too short, it should be below his ankles
loose holdster
My favorite is VTSC Han Solo, VOTC Han would have been the best if his vest was removable.
Some figures are better had VSTC Han like
EB Chewbacca
Evolutions Darth Vader
VOTC Stormtrooper
VTSC Biker Scout
VTSC X-Wing Luke
-
I think both are fantastic. But I am with those that thinks the VOTC Han Solo is one of the best figures Hasbro has ever done. I am not saying it's the greatest as that is hard to do but it's my favorite Han Solo figure so far.
That is not to take away from the Endor version as that is a great figure as well IMO. It's now surpassed the vintage version IMO. The previous modern line Endor Han's pretty much blow compared to the vintage version.
-
Even though I don't have it VOTC Han looks better.
-
I'd say I rate them equally... Here's why.
-VOTC Han... The sculpt is fantastic and spot-on, save for the hovering holster. I'm a little miffed at a non-removable vest in this day and age, that knocks the figure down a peg slightly to me. He is near perfect though... I have some I like a bit better I think, but he's right up there with the best in the line really.
-VTSC Han Endor... The sculpt is again fantastic in my view, with or without the jacket. However, he has two flaws. The same hovering holster VOTC Han has obviously, and also he has the noticeable gap and some slight sculpt inferiority without his vest on... However, with this Han you get the spiffiest softgoods accessory in history, complete with working pockets even. The blaster also got a paint upgrade despite its inaccurate sculpt.
To me they're equal... Take the jacket from VTSC Han though and I'd probably lean more to VOTC Han. The jacket made the figure (and made the price a fair bit easier to choke down).
-
I notice a lot of people mention the hovering holster; what I do to correct this is tilt his gun belt as if the holster is weighing down on that side (which it does in the film) and that gives the proper tilt to the belt and gets the holster against his leg. Granted, it's not like Garindan's awesome holster, but it still looks good. Remember that the gun belt is not meant to hold his pants up and be perfectly horizontal.
-
I prefer the 04 Han, both are good though. The 3 biggest flaws with the 06 Han:
1. Shiney/Glossy belt (The 04 Belt looks more real)
2. Loose Belt (easy fix)
3. Fat upper torso to get the upper body articulation.
He is still a good figure overall. I just hope they get the upcoming 07 Han Bespin Right, he is my favorite most want figure.
