This may be a figure to make from parts (kit-bash) - IF there was some kind person that could provide a pattern for the original dress or someone else making replacement dresses. I hate the idea of taking apart the original HT dress to pattern out a new one, but I dislike the way it looks so poofy otherwise.

Yup. It's not draping properly. Maybe a job for Tony Mei.

"A Star Wars fan and his money are soon parted" - I think that's a proverb.

Reverse it. Chewbacca doesn't look natural standing next to Leia. In fact, their Chewbacca doesn't look natural at all!

Here you go. Here's your sculpted Chewie. Au naturale.

I wonder what Guyver will do to this figure?

This and the slave Leia are the two of hers I would buy. Slave Leia

Did the first post change? All these complaints over what is obviously HT's best SW sculpt. Imagine if they all looked that good...

Yeah the original shots were kinda blurry and hard to judge, which explains why people were freaking out a bit. But once those new shots posted the tone in hear changed dramatically.

Yeah, they were definitely changed. The first pictures were blurry and grey looking.

I'm now most excited by this figure, as it looks to be the best SW headsculpt from Hot Toys. This is an instant pre-order (when coupon eligible).

Just have to figure out who to display her with.

How can people be impressed? This character design is boring and generic. This is why I didn't care for this figure. I'm not going to pay $200 for such a simple costume design. It was never exciting back then so why would it be impressive today?

Well move along, nothing to see here.

I don't think the dress is layered in the movie -- maybe you're thinking of the Ceremonial Dress.

Main dress is heavy material, clingy and somewhat sheer.

Wow. Talk about unflattering! On the one hand, it's refreshing that they weren't trying to sex her up for the movie. On the other hand, I wouldn't have minded if the dress looked like how it's been reinterpreted for costumes:

Okay. Maybe not that sexy! But even the ceremony outfit was more flattering:

Wow, what a fantastic sculpt. Aside from the slave garb I never had a burning desire for a Leia fig... and then this happened. Best SW sculpt so far and one of HT best sculpts to date IMO

Ha yeah, looking at the actual costume from the movie, I'm perfectly fine with HT deciding to idealize it a bit. And actually make it look like something worthy of a princess.

If you just took Snydermans cheeks and mouth and HTs eyes and nose it would be perfect.

They made Carrie diet for Star Wars. Fisher calls it "fat camp" in her stage show. It was a lengthy shoot and her face is skinnier in some shots than others.

Luke Stormtrooper is Nov-Dec. Luke Farmboy is next March.

Is Leia this year or next?

If it's this year I'll drop Chewie for this.
