[...]once there were things I disliked about it, it's presence on the shelf was annoying to me, so she had to go.

I can completely relate to that statement. I keep something around to see if it "fits" but as soon as the wrong things draw my attention ... time to go.

It took a couple months before the right futzers and modders got their hands on Chewie and really showed that figure's potential. Chewbacca went from a "pass" to an essential for many of us. Unfortunately by the time that all played out it was sold out, so thank goodness for the 2nd run.

I suspect the same of Leia. We've seen her pretty much out of the box and in Para's case professionally photographed. What we haven't seen yet is people applying and sharing all of their tricks and mods. I look forward to seeing what custom dresses can do to when combined with one of the best headsculpts HT has done.

Anyone know when Sideshow will get Leia in?

Hope it's easy to remove the dress

I think this does look nice, but agree that it's expensive for getting nothing. And a piece of cardboard as an exclusive is sooo lame... Although my biggest issue is I don't think I could ever buy a female figure (I do have the SS Asaaj Ventress, never opened her). All my figures are pretty much big Action Figures to me. I'm afraid if I put her on the shelf then I'd start to see them as dollies.. (Yes I'm in denial) My friend has a Black Widow & Maria Hill on a shelf along with Coulson, Fury and Hawkeye. I joke with him and call it his dollie shelf... I would get a Slave Leia though, only to go with all the Sideshow 1/6 Jabba set I have, but still have never displayed any of them since the throne is so big! .... Some day..

If Hoth Leia comes out as well as this in the head sculpt department and Bespin Han come out better than ANH I would likely switch over to those as my main displays. It's nice having all ANH but at the end of the day i'd like to represent the whole trilogy and more importantly I like to have the best version of a character in terms of sculpt etc. But until then I'll be happy to have all of these awesome figures.

Antman was released first and we still haven't even heard anything about him

Last time I talked to them they told me that the shipment was in the water.

I'm still waiting for my Vader!

Did they show the exclusive backdrop, or did I just dream it was this:

That's the one. We've had in hand pics of it on this thread.

Yes, you're right, it's totally subjective and I wouldn't expect others to share my thoughts on her or sway anyone not to purchase one. The expense doesn't bother me, it's more so the figure as a whole. Like Luke, once there were things I disliked about it, it's presence on the shelf was annoying to me, so she had to go.

Like ZE, I understand this. Once you go off a figure it turns into a pile of cash that's sitting on your shelf for no reason.

Should be getting Sideshow notices this week, right? 14 day notice at least, maybe 9.

Would have been nice to have had it in/around December when it was initially projected . Window from preorder to ship is way too long on practically all this stuff

You're new to this hobby it would seem. A three month delay is typical. Most people here can cite one or more figures in their collection they're waited an extra year for. At this time I think the poor HT Ripley/ Alien fans are in the worst boat.
