Yeah I was tempted to use some double-sided tape to keep the hood in place, but didn't want to accidentally pull any paint off the top. Hopefully the Yunsil dress will drape a lot better whenever it gets made.

The belt appears to be glued at the back so has to be cut/broken to get her dress and slip off..

Thanks.

A bit like taking apart Sideshow's Fett then.

My other princess just showed up on the shelf to join ANH Leia (and umm... Dave closed that Leia Slave thread.)

Not in the same realm as the amazing HT Leia effort, but she's destined for the darkness of my Jabba dio anyway - once it's done. Likeness isn't great - just a random female head lol) I thought looked a bit like that kinda gaunt/thinner face Carrie had by ROTJ - it was like $20 and a body I've had for years so the fig's only about $50 out of pocket - rest is just old Hasbro.

Didn't use any of those new bootleg kits, and didn't want to gamble $80+ on a seamless body that might split in a couple of years. Haven't finished the collar/chain yet, that should help on the slight head/body color mismatch. Boots have the ankle split for better action poses.

I think that looks pretty great, TB!

Awesome! Can you show a closeup of the boot split? And where did you get the head?

Missed the delivery last Friday, so only just got Leia.

I like her a lot. The sculpt is so impressive, and the dress isn't as bad I'd expected. I like the way they stitched the upper section so that it creates a fall of creased material over the belt.

At first I dispensed with the waist grabber, because those things can just make a mess of figures. But the crotch grabber created its own problems by pushing the dress out at the back, and the under skirt tight against the front of the dress.

So I removed the grabber and just stood her over the plastic rod. She's sturdy enough, and if she does fall she can't go anywhere because the under skirt holds her.

At least now I finally have the full, original team.

(guyver would probably MacGyver a more effective solution involving a drill and a Phicen male member glued to the top of the rod...)

Not making light of it, just my clumsy way of saying I'm concerned. Sounds like she's stable. *prayers*

She passed away earlier.
