Aug 21 2007Ugly Man Takes Han's Place in Carbonite

In one of the saddest turn of events I have read recently, some guy managed to secure a direct casting of Han Solo in carbonite from the original prop, and then had the face sawed off and replaced with a mold of his. This is in no way, shape, or form cool at all. What was this guy thinking? You have an iconic piece of one of the best movies of all time, and you go and deface it (literally). He probably has the Holy Grail chalice from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade too, but decided it wasn't cool enough and had to glue plastic rhinestones on it and write "Pimp Juice" on the side with puffy paint.

A closeup of the world's ugliest Star Wars fan after the jump, along with the forever dreamy Harrison Ford original carbonite.

friggin' idiot

What a prick.

Star Wars sucks anyway, who cares.

I want to punch everyone this guy has ever met, and then I kind want to make out with Harrison Ford.

Ok, that was a lie. I really want to make out with Harrison.

Arrrgh! No insults sufficient for someone this stupid!
HATE HATE HATE!

settle down mephisto...

but yeah, what a douche!

Maybe this douchebag should have his balls frozen in carbonite and then kicked by David Beckham while I applaud quietly from the sidelines, monocle in hand (lest it fall off it's golden chain).

Nothing says Douche better than this.

Why couldn't he just have a whole new one created of HIM why did he have to go mess up that one?

Ah...

So it looks like I get to be let out of my cage to go hunting for morons again.
Tell the children to avoid the gutters, I'm coming.

Jesus Christ, that dude looks like something out of Beetlejuice. Gross me out.

douche...
*kills douche with lightsaber*


I heard Harrison Ford wouldn't let it sell with his face in it, so it was removed before the guy even received it.

lucasfilm made 2500 of these in the late 90's. they aren't that hard to get. the dude that runs the comic shop in my town bought one for $400 a couple of years ago.

liar liar pants on fire

HArrison Ford is crying from all your lying

Get back to where you once belong, you hippy

idiot.

The stupidity of this whole situation makes me laugh and cry simultaneously..

Yeah he sucks!

But you took time to read about him and write about him so YOU TOO SUCK!

THIS INCLUDES ME!

This just can't be the original. It's probably a knockoff mold based on the original, as the original would be worth quite a lot to fan collectors. And anyone with enough money to buy it wouldn't be stupid enough to modify it - especially since I'd kick him in the junk for doing so.

It's not the original, they never said it is. Maybe read it before you comment next time?

I don't even like Star Wars and I want to kill that man. It's like pissing your name into the snow on the Hogwarts grounds or something.

Unacceptable.

What an atrocity against all that is awesome in the world.

I blame this on the great Star Trek Fan Migration of the 1990s -- After DS9 went off the air, there was nothing even remotely cool about Star Trek anymore. So what did the fans do? Grow up? Get lives?

No. They came over to my side of the sandbox and produced hideous atrocites like this, and blazed the way for people who were once able to keep their childhood obsessions confined to their homes to feel free to come out into the sunlight, act like complete idiots as this dipstick has done, and defame the fandom that I once considered sacrosanct.

I hate them all.

Oh my GOD. What a DOUCHEBAG.

I'm gonna send that guy a douchebag in the mail.
I want his email address. A loser that huge has GOT to have a blog somewhere.
AUGH. GOD.

My friend went as Han Solo in carbonite to a halloween party once. He could hardly walk and he had to wear his glasses the whole time.

What a friggin nerd.

It says he acquired a casting of the original prop. Meaning his was just a copy.

@ 22: Thank you for saying it best. Who are the stupid a-holes that have to take something that was a cool and important part of being a kid and take it to such an extreme obsession level that it's not cool at all anymore? KILL THEM ALL. Especially star trek fans, since star trek is the worst piece of garbage ever on television.

I don't understand what's so bad about it - the dude defaced (pun) his own property so it's not like this shit is hanging in a museum of pop culture somewhere.

Yes, it sucks that he makes star wars fans look bad, but haters like TREPANING should do other things with their time.. like learning how to make a better website.

His right arm actually looks exactly like one of those fascinating robot arms on the other page. seems like a pretty good way to take marketing. Advertise crap and back it up with the same. Oh I´m being too sensitive now.

Did anyone else immediately think of Napoleon Dynamite when they saw this guys face? Wait for it......Wait for it.......NAPOLEON CARBONITE! Hahahahaha! I'm gonna go cry now.

#27 haha made you look!

What a douche...someone should saw off the guy's face and leave it at that. Friggin' idiot.

nerds. this is a REPLICA, not the actual prop...

thank god its only a casting, but even so hes a friggin fugly douche
lol napolen carbonite, u make me laugh in a sad sort of way #29.
also i agree with #22 and #26

It look creepy!

Someone should convince him to jump in some real carbonite and watch him blow up. Much more impresive and his insides blown over a mile radius would be a lot prettier

Calm down everyone.

He is mocking us.

Next, we will see him superimposed on the Cowardly Lion.

WHY!?!?!?!
So today you deface Han Solo??
Then YOU PUT DECALS ON THE DE LOREAN FROM BACK TO THE FUTURE?
Or why not simply take the costume of the alien from ET and make it blue!
For Shame >_<

Well, as much as I squirmed when reading about it, I see this as a fitting situation considering that's basically what Lucas did to his own footage when he "remastered" them.

Consider this piece of movie history.... "remastered". -_-

I can't believe no one noticed how out of proportion this guy's unusually large head is compared with the body.

Maybe the super-sized melon is what caused him to do such a stupid thing. A bit of water on the brain, perhaps?

judging by the previous comments left before me... i would say this was a bad move on his part. and i agree.... what were you thinking ?

#39 - it is a life-size replica, so it shouldn't be out of proportion.
but it does seem that way.

i guess 'Rob' just has a huge slab of meat for a head.

...
I don't know why everybody is making such a huge deal about this. It really isn't. It's all in good fun, it's not like he defaced the entire fucking movie and ruined it or something. Give it a rest.

Are all you people retarded? It's a casting of the prop, not the prop. He's defaced rather a crap copy not the iconic piece of film history. You'd do the friggin' same if someone offered it to you!

Muppets.

#22, Why can't Star Wars nerds and Star Trek nerds just co-exist peacefully? Why the constant bickering? I dream of a day when the children of Star Wars nerds and Star Trek nerds can hold hands and...

And I just semi-defaced an epic, historical speech. I'll just go sit in a corner now.

LOL at #6 ryan!!!

fucking moron

I don't get the out-freaking about this-- it is a replica that he made/had made. What pisses me off is what a shitty job he did. I mean, come on.

wtf, besides who has the time to saw the face off and put his own on, what a douche and a loser

This guy is the biggest retard in the world...

WOW!!!! That is hideous. He looks like Richard D. James. And really......why would you blow your money on one of the coolest collectibles out there just to ruin it? I bet he has a collection of teddy bears with his face on it too. Dumb Asshole!

To paraphrase Obi-Wan: Who's the more foolish: The fool, or the fool who posts foolish comments on a blog?

Some the blathering sounds like anger that they didn't think of it first.

Oh god. I think I want to kill this man. I mean, this was a piece from the original movie! Why did he deface it like that? Ugh.

Why is this moron still in the so frakin cool slot?! He's not cool. get more gadgets, less of this crap.

This man is a BLASPHEMER!

Disintigrations are in order this time!!

IT'S FAKE!!!

Other than the "V" shape to the left of the chin, (close but not perfect) none of the other details match. The collar on the right is close but lacks detail. Either he bought a replica (and a bad one) or he re-created the whole thing from scratch.

Whoever did this is a bloody idiot. That's an iconic and almost priceless relic of a fantastic movie and he goes and ruins it. He deserves to be hung by his toes and beaten. Idiot.

The guy's just showing his love of the show and his desire to be a part of it. Lighten up.
And after reading the comments, I now want to write my name in the snow at Hogwarts. It sounds like fun.

Wait... is that Napoleon Dynamite?!?!

We have natural resources getting ruined and you guys are worried about a stupid Hollywood prop? I could care less what gets ruined from Hollywood, I care more about what is getting ruined naturally.

Holy fucking fuck! What the fuck!? What the fucking fucking fuck!?
Fucking sawn the fuck off?

Harrison Ford should have hired assassins!

ok this is also ake.. no one would let this hapen to this piece of art... i have to say i am appauled at what the average person will believe now a days

Looking at this makes me ache inside, as though a little part of me dies every time I see it.

Mandi you are a F**king fag and i hope you die!

The person who did this is named Steve. He runs a site called Thesneeze.com and did a little excerpt about this. He has the original in his garage, still true to form from the movie. He had a friend of his who does special effects create a replica and place his own face on it just to see what he would look like in carbonite. He wasn't too impressed either.

you said it was a casting so at least he didn't destroy the original

I found this story to be both funny and sad (as in "pathetic")! But hey, after all it is HIS money, the arrogant moron should be able to deface it if he wants to!

a slow death, by dipping his toes in liquid nitrogen, then breaking them off....continuing upwards till the screaming stops......
now if he had put Samuel L. Jacksons face on there, with a purple lightsaber inscribed with bad mother fucker on it....then I would give kudos.
but as he didn't I call upon all the hordes of star wars geekery to hunt this man into extinction.

@70: Samuel L. Jackson's got nothin' on Harrison Ford, and curse you for even suggesting giving kudos to something that mars the beauty of the old trilogy with reminders that the horrid prequels exist.
