Like the Pepper Potts figure, the HS could use some tweaking but imho, its definitely Fisher.. I'm gonna wait for the Boushh version though.

This is so purchased. Looks pretty simple. Hoping for a $199 pre-order later today. Almost tempted to order day one but can't stop myself from waiting for a coupon to work. They needn't bother with a backdrop me thinks. Should have saved the interrogation droid for her.

I'll never display it but it's a dirt cheap accessory, so at least it's something that won't be bumping up the price.

I'm thankful it doesn't look as sterile as the Potts figure. HT have an unrivaled talent for sucking all the life and personality out of an actor's likeness when they make many of their sculpts.

About as simple of a figure you are going to get, some hands and a couple guns. And a backdrop?? I might wait and pick her up from a secondary dealer and skip the deposit.

I agree that both have very neutral expressions, I was just disagreeing with those saying the sculpts look nothing like Paltrow and Fisher, respectively

Just looks like the SDCC sculpt in different lighting. Really damn good. I'm getting this and Luke for sure. Not sure about the other figures at this point, which I hate to say. But Luke and Leia may be good enough for me until Hot Toys can get on the ball and deal with their likeness issues.

Just gonna grab her clothes......

How many times have I said that. . .after breaking into someone's house. . .I've said too much. . .

She looks fantastic.

The only negatives are those wrist joints showing. Will pose with arms down to cover them.

I know, I'm just thankful that even though this expression is neutral, the end result seems to have a bit more life than many others - maybe it's the cherub quality of her rosy cheeks and round face. Someone who thinks either sculpt looks nothing like the actresses is nuts. There will never be a sculpt created by anyone that can't use at least a small tweak here and there, and sometimes the smallest of tweak can make the most impressive impact, but there's no denying the likeness.

Yeah, I think I was thinking about how the droid might have pushed people over the edge since it's a barebones release, but maybe they figured the headsculpt is so dang good they can just throw in a piece of cardboard and call it an accessory. And true that it would have raised the price tag. I guess they felt like they could get away with a big price tag on Vader but wanted to keep this one priced low.

Selfishly I just want the droid and would have been nice to get it with this figure as I'm not sure about Vader, looking forward to final production pics on him.

I think this looks great, loving the HS. Not great enough to break into my Imperials only collection but almost. Well done HT.

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

This better not cost more than $200. But knowing this line, it will be 220

EDIT: Just saw Sueikakyju's post and like his price point better.

Hey guys, cardboard isn't cheap nowadays. If this is anything to go buy, then this is actually one of the best exclusive values out there!
