Furry chewbaccas

(1/1)

This was one of the questions and answers from the Jawa's Q&A section a couple weeks ago:
 

--- Quote ---3: The VotC Chewbacca remains the absolute best version of Chewbacca ever made and probably for a good long time. But is it possible that Hasbro might someday make an even more premium Chewbacca figure that actually uses real "hair" as opposed to sculpted plastic?  You've already done this in smaller ways with the PotF2 Leia figures - and for that matter, would an ANH Princess Leia with real hair buns be another possibility?

There is a very high probability that version will never happen due to the extreme difficulty in getting soft goods "fur" to behave and look good in scale.  It was very difficult when we did a plush version in 2005, and even when we tried new fibers on the Bantha set...so we haven't been excited about the seemingly doomed exercise of trying it on a 3-3/4 figure."
--- End quote ---

I thought some of you might like to know that hasbro actually has tried this in the past unsuccessfully.  They mention the ROTS plush chewbacca that was recalled but here are some that never made it to production.  Much thanks to behindthetoys galaxy collectibles and potf2 for the images as well as spastic over plastic

Here's the potf2 flocked chewbacca

One mocked up to a stormtrooper card


For POTJ they tried again (3 known to exist, here's pics of 2):
