That hood. Strange strange strange.

Yeah, a bit of a balled up Kleenex from some angles.

Nice Wor-Gar, can really capture the sculpt there. And i love those outdoor shots Dr Nash,, can see the sculpt detail there really well. Just got mine but just got home. Will crack thiis open as soon as I can.

DR Nash pics...

GREAT pose Inked, just great!!! I originally wanted to pose her with her sporting blaster but your photo changed my mind.

So I received Leia today and she's great overall. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her boots and the face sculpt, IMO, is the best likeness yet to come out of the HT Star Wars line-up. I do have some minor issues: (1) I do not like the wrap-around the waist style stand, (2) I do not like that extra "mini-skirt" under her main gown, it makes the gown overall more puffy and it gets wrinkled and caught up underneath the gown itself, and (3) The cardboard thing is alright but I wish they would have used a background that was inclusive for more of our heroes such as the Death Star bay where the Falcon is docked. Otherwise, love her and glad to have the whole gang together.

Also, some Star Wars Kleenex from Target because I had to use it after trying to pose Leia in wind! So pardon the half-hearted Leia with Artoo poses, she would not stay up and I started sneezing like crazy.

Final shots, recreating the promo shot (wrong gun I know)

I love the height difference.

I did a minor water treatment and I think it Helped reduce the poof a little. The hood is really awful!

Is anybody offering a custom leia dress that drapes better?

I'm all excited about this great looking Leia but I had to make a delivery change cause SS charged and shipped her yesterday instead of the 29th. I'm not gonna be home on the 27th to receive her and I couldn't run back home just for this figure. I know they say the 14 days arrival is only a projected date and they could ship earlier but this really has p...d me off. I have to go 20+ miles now to get this figure from the UPS store they stated and not the 1 I wanted that was the closer 1 to my house.

Looks nice with Vader and the torture droid, zexion. That's my display plan for when she arrives.

Great shots of the head sculpt, Wor. Really impressive sculpting work.

Yep, as expected it really is a great sculpt of young Leia.

The dress is much softer than I expected, but unfortunately short as we've seen and not as full. It's almost like something she might wear under her movie dress. The boots are very nice being real 'leather'. Gun are both nice. Three extra hands. And that's it. Talk about a minimal figure. Only Threepio came with less.

I haven't futzed with her today as I'm a bit under the weather, but I hope to tackle this mysterious hood tomorrow or Sunday.

The one good thing about the shorter dress is it shows the boots a bit more. It was kind of criminal that Ben's boots (some of the nicest HT has done) are pretty much invisible.

Not sure what Death Star II has to do with this outfit....

It's really funny that this is the first mention of this. I was just going through my Luke Stormtrooper box tonight and since you'd mentioned this I looked and noticed the DS II is on there as well, so out of curiosity I checked out a Vader unboxing and sure enough he's got the DS II on the art insert too. Same with the Spacetrooper.

Well at least they are consistent.

And Howard is supposedly such a big fan of Star Wars.

We have to count ourselves lucky he didn't use this:

Don't give him -- or Disney -- any ideas.

I can see rocket-packed stormtroopers flying around like Iron Man in the next movie.

That's okay, as long as they're Zero-G Troopers...

Or Dark Troopers...

And while they're at it, how about an Aquatic Assault Trooper?

Just hold back on the Clone SCUBA Troopers though...

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

I had one of those old Spacetrooper Hasbro toys.

And I've actually always wanted to see Seatroopers... or Scubatroopers.

When I sold off my 3 3/4" figure collection I did keep back the some EU figures in this series:

And just like HT Leia he came with a card diorama!

And I've actually always wanted to see Seatroopers... or Scubatroopers.

Would be an opportunity for SS to re-use their Scout Trooper.

Reminds me, here's the first non-movie "action figure" from the new canon:

Reminds me, here's the first non-movie "action figure" from the new canon:

Under the Marvel brand?

And the first black imperial officer? Or is Samuel Jackson moonlighting during a break from The Hateful Eight?

Also good to see that copious facial hair is making a comeback though.
