re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS298 - Star Wars: Episode IV - Leia Organa Collectible Figure
There's no denying that the face looks stunning! I LOVE the sculpt! The outfit may be an easy fix, but it's the question of whether or not they'll do it. Then there's just the question of do you want to spend $220 on it. That's the going rate for most figures now, and we're long past the times when that required them to have loads of accessories. Sometimes they just come with a gun...it's unfortunate, but that's kinda how it is.
I ordered Luke without much question. I pretty much just jumped in, as the only other one I'd want from him is Jedi Luke from RotJ...but this one just looks great. Again, Leia's HS is fantastic, and I see her likeness completely, but I'm just not sure that's the one I want to spend the money on -- especially if I'm going to go with an Empire Han.
I always loved that Han and Leia spent the entire second movie together...it was like their own complete side story, while Luke did his thing. I'd love that in Hot Toy form, even though -- as it's been mentioned -- this is the more iconic look. If it was $150 I'd be all in...of course that's a silly price these days, but the outfit is INCREDIBLY generic (which it should be, as it was in the film) so really it's just the head sculpt and gun here...even though I said above that it's the baseline price, this one still seems like it should be a lot lower.
