Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS298 - Star Wars: Episode IV - Leia Organa Collectible Figure

I ordered Leia from a Hong Kong seller back on March 28th. She was shipped on the 30th. The tracking says that it reached Los Angeles on April 7th, but it's been there ever since. I've never had a package stuck in LA for this long. Is there a hold-up in customs? I'm also wondering why it went to LA and not San Francisco. Hmm...

Then... What's about Leia shipping? I have no news about it. It will start on April 21??? FOR ALL OF US???

I missed the UPS guy by mere minutes! I had been waiting all morning and I left my house for less than 20 minutes and 4 minutes after I left he came. I called UPS and they're going to let me pick her up at my local hub tonight at 7. Grrrr :mad:

We want pictures!

Is SS shipping to US yet? I ordered minutes after Leia went on sale and I'm waiting for a shipping notice.

I always flag my figures for pickup at the local UPS hub...no need to wait for the guy.

She's here! I wanted to do a quick comparison with my Sideshow Leia and the difference is very much apparent. More pictures to come!

Contacted SS and they explained that Leia will be coming in multiple shipments and my order will not be in the first shipment. :( Oh well.
 
Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS298 - Star Wars: Episode IV - Leia Organa Collectible Figure

Quite a difference! And congratulations!

So how the hell did you get yours shipped from Sideshow before Sideshow even got their shipment of Leias in house? You have to share this one with us.

I have no clue at all, I forget when exactly she went up for PO last year but I know I got her shortly after so maybe that's why? :dunno I'm just thanking my lucky stars that she's here now. I haven't messed with her too much yet but I will say that the backdrop she comes with belongs in the Death Star's trash compactor....

Also to those worried about how her dress lays, it's fine. The fabric is significantly softer and less cheap looking than the Sideshow version. Her hood however does not like to stay flat against her back.

The pictures are not the most HQ but you get the gist, her head sculpt is just gorgeous she really does look like young Carrie Fisher. However she's a pain to pose, the material of her dress is slippery so when you try to move her legs or arms you can't get much of a grip. And her joints seem a bit stiff? Are all HT's figures like that, Leia's my first one so I don't know what's normal and what isn't. Overall I really love her, she looks great!
