Wow, I like both of those so far, hopefully I'll be able to pick them up.  Always like the "Hoth" themed stuff.  I think Brent could be right with there being a "chase" version of the Hoth Han, likely with the brown version being the main release.  Heck, maybe a blue coat version would be some sort of con exclusive or something too, who knows.  Are there any other rumors going around for what else we'll see in 2009?

I'll probably go for the Luke bust, too bad he doesn't have the Wampa damage though.

Man, those are pretty awesome.  Sigh.
I've been trying to stick with just the imperials and main characters in thier "classic" looks, but I'm a sucker for anything ESB.
I seem to recall someone saying that there was a snowtrooper announced as well.  Did pictures ever surface of that?

The problem with America is stupidity I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself

The Luke bust definitely looks good.  I'd like to see the paint apps on Han.

On another note I got my Lieutenant Renz bust today.  Haven't opened it up, but Phil did a decent packing job.

I got my Lt. Renz today as well. Extremely well done Mini-Bust! The voice chip is just icing on the cake. A very, very welcomed addition to my "Bad guy" shelf. ;D

For Han if they did both I'd go with movie accurate brown.

As for Renz, I got mine about 3 days ago - it's a nice piece.  The scale is good, and it's on the old style base.  Those Hoth busts look like they're on the old style bases too - I hope the smaller bases for the Airborne and Marine were the only ones that will be that way.

Haven't seen any pictures, shadows or otherwise.  I haven't even personally seeen confirmation, but I believe it was confirmed so I'm letting myself look forward to it.

Hope everyone is having a great xmas.  I gave myself an early xmas gift, picking up the jawa(s) bust from last year.  Hoping the tie-pilot surfaces soon.

Just picked up my Lt. Renz bust at the PO, the sound chip works fine & the bust is sweet.  8)

Anyone interested in the Obi in armor bust or the Holo Qui-Gon bust?

The sculpting on 4-LOM looks super, I don't have the other Bounty Hunters so I'll pass.
