Man, I just can't stop looking at this.
Please please please don't screw it up HT.
I thought the Avengers Black widows was good but this beats all!
Oh my god. They could shrink fisher down to 10 inches and lock her in a box and you'd all say it looks nothing like her.
Seeing this in person the likeness is probably the best of all the HT Star Wars. The dress is layered and translucent in places just like the original costume.

Nah, HT do alright - it's when the sculpts are iffy to begin with that they struggle to please.It almost assuredly won't.
For figures like this that have a dress or robe that needs to hang with 1/6th gravity, I always thought it would be a good idea for the maker to use a system of tiny hidden weights. Tiny short sections of steel rod perhaps, painted the same color as the fabric, and sewn into small tube-shaped pleats inside the sleeve. The cloth tubes would run along the inside seamline at the bottom of the sleeve, and pull the sleeve down with gravity. This would also work for Jedi robe hoods, capes, etc...Looks good to me although not crazy about the dress material. Doesn't hang.
These SDCC shots are looking better. It's like a lot of their stuff....great...from a certain point of view.
Just so long as he doesn't drop his load at the first sight of an imperial cruiser...
Oh come on Dave, that old chestnut? That statement needs it's own ZOMG thread.
The Mezco One 12 Batman figure uses a really innovative design where there is rubber sections screened on to the bottom pleats of the cape. Gives it weight and helps create natural folds. Not saying Hot Toys should do this exactly, but something like it would bring their capes and robes to the next level.For figures like this that have a dress or robe that needs to hang with 1/6th gravity, I always thought it would be a good idea for the maker to use a system of tiny hidden weights.
