Its officially hot toys star wars week. Leia is arriving Tuesday, Boba Fett on Wednesday. The last star wars week was back in December when we got both Vader and Luke. I am guessing the Next star wars week will be when Rey and Finn ship at the same time. This only happens with star wars figures...

Rey and Finn shipping at the same time would be ideal for me... not sure about the wallet though!

I really do need to swap out the belt for the Stormtooper one

I know it's not screen accurate, but I prefer the blaster combined with the 'leather' belt.

Wonderful photo by the way, sums up why I'm collecting this line.

Ahoy!

I took a few minutes to try a little water treatment on Leia today. I only did the front of the dress below the belt line to see if will be worth going beyond that. I think its a pretty decent improvement. I was only able to manage a few large folds along the length of the dress, but With some patience I think this outfit will look pretty good in the end.

Cheers,

Did you spray bottle little by little or soak the front of the dress? Looks PHENOMINAL by the way!

Is that a picture after it's dry again?

Somebody is going to make an awesome custom dress, charge $200 and I'm going to feel like I should buy it.

I'm a bit confused if we're seeing a before and after photo or just after photos. Either way looks good.

Thanks Folks!

Yes, its dry in the picture.

@ TheRiddler32?- The fabric dries pretty quickly... I used a small spray/mister bottle and sprayed the area until it was soaked (pretty much). I then (from the bottom of the dress) created pleats with my fingers and held it until it was pretty much dry. I used a hair dryer to help it along initially and then let it air dry the remainder. When it was close to dry, I'd occasionally "help" futz the folds along as it was drying. I hope that made sense!

Cheers,

All three images are after the water treatment.

Thanks Ahab. Makes more sense as the dress looks similar (pretty dang good) in all three shots.
