Haha I like that display. Looks like there's going to be some kind of trouble in Bespin

I have to wonder Kirk would probably kick Han's ass realistically no offense for Leia's attention, Kirk was a bad mother f # when it came to fighting. Even an older Kirk could beat up a Klingon like in Trek III



As opposed to Han

Hey come on the guy was frozen in carbonite and took awhile for him to get his eyesight back. Cut him some slack I really like this Kirk stuff

How's the HT Body on Leia?

About Leia most people aren't liking her? How's the HT Body?

I think Leia is a great figure. The sculpt is the main selling point, and the dress is its shortcoming. The HT body is small, but accurate; with multiple points of articulation for posing. She stands fine on her own too.

Great poses! I've been hearing that about the dress too. Thanks for clearing it up.

I am extremely new to Hot Toys and just started with Star Wars, I have Luke and the Stormtrooper's so far, and just got Leia yesterday.

What's the deal with her stand? I don't know why they made hers so it would grab her by the waist and hold her instead of going up the legs like the other stands. She seems to stand well enough on her own so far, but it seemed like an odd decision that would probably ruin the dress over time to be held that way.

I'm guessing it's because the crotch grabbing stand they normally use would cause the dress to be lifted up at the back. I like the type of stand they used but would have preferred it coloured white for the metal part instead of black.

Now that HT are offering the Death Star Trooper - we can have a few more display options with Leia!
Was just watching SW and completely forgot she was cuffed whilst escorted to Tarkin by Vader and flanked by 2 DS Troopers...
It'll look great for anyone fortunate enough to own JazzInc's DS diorama set.

It's not ladylike to have stick hanging on her crotch I'm assuming.

Thanks! I've been contemplating cutting the thread holding the neck of Luke's shirt to open it more.

I've been meaning to take more pics of Kirk messing around and to try out the exclusive phaser rifle in his hands, but I love the set up so much I've left it exactly like that.

Waist grabbers are the old school stand for Sideshow and Hot Toys, then some fool here at SSF got the terrible idea to bend the stand to grip the crotch and HT copied it. My figures do somersault shelf dives ever since.

Like I said I'm new, but I prefer the crotch grab since it's not as intrusive into the figure's display. Having a big wire grasping Leia looks odd to me.

I'm the same way. My preference is always cradle stands. However, sometimes the waist grabber stands have to be used. Leia is one of these figures.

So if Tony mei is out we have to get serious about how to get a new dress happening ASAP. Yunsil is the only logical alternative in my opinion

I agree. Has anyone reached out to Shortround? He's done a lot of projects with her.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just sent Shortround a PM asking if there would be interest.
