Still love this figure most of all the Leia's

Got in a bidding war for one on eBay a few months back. Got in at $130 and i maxxed at $220... sold for around $230-$240 which I thought was a bit much then. Wish i stayed in and scored it. Oh well. One day I’ll find one but definitely not at the $300 range. The mediocre gown she comes with is what has kept her off the top of my list but still keeping an eye out :)
 
When Leia Hoth hits and people start buying that up some more of the ANH figures will show up and drop the price down. I agree that you should be patient. Probably not worth over paying for her. Amazing head sculpt but the dress drags the overall figure down a bit.
 
Is the Hot Toys version of this figure $180 more quality than the fire version? It seems the head sculpt and materials are pretty close but I don’t have the fire one to compare. Just wondering if it’s a better option with the price of Hot Toys release climbing.

The sculpt is phenomenal, but as others have said, the dress holds it back a bit. Everything else about it is pretty much perfect. Even though I have it, if I didn't, I personally wouldn't pay more than about $250 on the secondary market for it. If even that.
 
I never really minded the dress. The material, not too far off from the real one. Take a good look at it next time you watch. Super thin, very flowy, and with the exception of her first and last scene, very cheap looking.
 
I got the Fire knockoff Princess Leia yesterday. The head sculpt is not half bad, a little longer then the original sculpt. The dress is pure crap, it makes the Hot Toys one look good. The body's neck is a litttle too long and her shoulders look too narrow, probably because the dress doen't fit well. I was pleasantly surprised by the accessories and the packaging. I don't know if I would recommend geting the whole thing, but the head sculpt is worth it if you don't already have Leia.

Wondering that myself. I love this figure. I regretted selling it almost immediately. Took a lil while but I'm glad to have her back in the collection now. ANH Leia is iconic.
 
I preordered the knockoff awhile back, then came across a good deal for the original. I plan to customize a different outfit for the knockoff at some point.
