But Vader was in it longer and didn't have a cgi face.
And how long was Luke in TFA?
I wouldn't be surprised is all I'm saying.

I agree with Darth Fok and Earthdog. I'm calling it now. They will rerelease this same Leia figure in Rouge One packaging with Death Star plans accessory. Maybe they'll put the effort and give her a smiling sculpt and upgrade the quality of the dress, maybe. Either way, this is not the last we'll see of the iconic classic buns Leia from Hot Toys.

I think with the passing of Carrie Fisher, I wouldn't be shocked if they double dipped into this figure.

Oh, wow. To suggest that a woman being gratuitously sexually objectified in mainstream media back in "1982-83" is both arrogant and ignorant. Yes, 'gratuitously', despite your carefully-constructed justification about Jabba being vile and intending to demean her - he could merely have put a chain around her neck to achieve that. Princess Leia being placed in bondage in a skimpy outfit was simply a cheap device to appeal to a heterosexual male audience and sadly, this low blow continues to appeal to this day.
Women's Rights continue to be a struggle for equality to this day, but when the original Star Wars trilogy was being made, the Women's Rights movement was still at its infancy - and Hollywood movies continue to this day to be very slow to reflect evolving social attitudes.
Back then, women were expected to "display the goods" (as you put it) and this expectation was (and sadly, still is) acceptable amongst the wider community. Using other photos from the same era does not prove your point, it backs mine up. The earlier sexploitation pictures that noisyrobot posted do not support your statements either - using blatantly sexist images to support a sexist attitude??? And the really funny thing is the idea of George Lucas homaging 1950's pop culture - which is the epitome of white patriarchal middle class conservatism - that America seems to be reeling back towards.
Carrie has, as you mentioned, spoken several times about her feelings about this outfit - as well as the lack of bra under her original white gown in A New Hope (a necessity that George Lucas apparently personally insisted upon). The fact that she has only done so in more recent times is because that at the time, it was more likely that for a female actress to draw attention to such things would be viewed as being trouble-making and "un-ladylike".
Carrie did what was expected and what she probably thought that she had to do in order to succeed. And while this suggests choice, acquiescing to a contemporary social more does not indicate agreement with the situation, but resignation.
So, Princess Leia being chained to Jabba in a skimpy bikini was, and still is sexist and offensive. And the fact that you gag at the thought of Finn being placed in a similar situation only proves my point and your bias.
I agree. While the quality of the paintjob is good, its over done. The eyes have too much make-up and lips are now the wrong shape as are the eyebrows. If it wasn't for the hair and dress, I would actually question who it is. The stock paint is better IMO.
Words cannot describe my disgust regarding your foolish train of thought. Seek help.
