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

[theuzi9mm]

Decided to use some promo codes/points so I ordered one about 2 weeks ago. I received mine in the mail from Sideshow the day she had her heart attack on the 23rd. I see she's on waitlist at sideshow and if other vendors really are scalping it in light of her passing, that's kinda ******.

It's a good sculpt but it's still off 'perfection' and you would expect Hot Toys to improve on the sculpt for her next figure.

Here's hoping. I'd be all over a Hoth costume Leia, or either of the Bespin looks.

Expect Hot Toys to announce their second Leia figure this month.

Maybe I should rephrase the 'way off' comment to just 'off' because the sculpt is off regardless. No Hot Toys sculpt is exactly 100% or perfect.

Yup no sculpt has hit that 100%. I think it is almost impossible to do that. I am sure her next sculpt will be better. They usually improve.

Hoth all the way.

Better but still not perfect.

Yep, instant PO for Hoth Leia, though I'd be even happier for Bespin Escape Leia.

I'll take both in one box please. Swap out head shoes and hands and it's done. Of course they will most likely do a BESPIN gown with that hair style so it will be a head swap and left over bodies lying around.

Yeah, but she was beautiful in the white Hoth Jumpsuit from the end of the movie(Without the bodywarmer), and i preferred the ending hairstyle too.
The Hoth suit, two heads, a removable bodywarmer, and different boots for the end look would be great.

Yeah that would prob be the way to go, the trouble is I'd want to buy 2 sets because I love both the Hoth outfit and her Bespin escape look

The Bespin outfit (prior to the white jumpsuit) made her look like a Princess too but that's probably something a custom company would make if the latter were done, since I think she sports the same hairstyle.

There are very few Star Wars OT figures I want at this point. Jedi Luke. Tarkin. And Hoth Leia.

Which version of Leia should HT do a tribute deluxe version to Carrie if it happens

 

[Knightstalker]

I'll take em all

 

[theuzi9mm]

Slave Leia! Although it'll never get made....I would be game for a Hoth Leia if that is what they release soon...

 

[Sithblade]

Poncho Leia, the briefing room costume would be underneath it anyway.

Slave Leia does seem like the obvious choice, but I'd be very happy both versions of her Bespin look.

 

[guyver1]

Of course would anyone want to collect

 

[Mike86]

I'd take a General Leia to go with my old Han and Luke. The slave outfit would be a good choice but then Hot Toys would need to do a Jabba and throne too. The Hoth or Bespin look would be nice to get.

I wouldn't want an Episode VII Leia.

With her frozen (Botoxed?) face that seemed to impair her ability to act, she was for me the weakest link in the film.

I'd rather remember her last Star Wars appearance (in-universe chronology) as ROTJ. Though her character had some good post-ROTJ EU novels.
