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

[TheClient]

You can remove the dress without needing to cut the belt.

The figure's limbs detach very easily as I recall and that is required to remove the dress without altering it.

Once the limbs are off the dress can be fed up through the belt.

So in order to replace the dress on one of these figures I would have to disassemble the figure itself?

I don’t have one yet, but was in the market. Prices are a little crazy now. Not sure how I feel about taking the whole hypothetical figure apart to put on a nicer dress.

No, the HT dress can be removed and the custom dress pulled on without disassenbling anything more major. At least with Coco's custom dress.

No, you don't have to disassemble the figure, you just pull the arms out of the shoulder socket. The dress slips on over the hips and chest, it's tight enough that you think it won't fit, but luckily those body parts are softer PVC, so there's enough give to make it work. Just plug the arms back in once the dress is on.

bumping for dress payments once again. deadline is sept 15. This is the LAST CHANCE to get in on the run, there will never be another one, and none on the previous run ever go up for sale. And, priced at literally half of every other current yunsil project, its now or never.

I told you to forget it!

Here’s a comparison to the hot toys original for those interested..

 

[TheClient]

The custom dress is a beautiful improvement. Can I assume it will be easy to put on the figure?

I finally pulled the trigger and bought one of these Leias on eBay....at a price that makes me nervous to pull the arms off, which sounds necessary in order to replace the stock dress.

On a related note, if anyone can recommend where to buy a spare body for this figure, just in case......I am ALL EARS.

 

[chilipep66]

Removing these arms are super easy. Hair dryer if you wanted to be extra safe but it’s probably not even needed. They pop off in a ball joint the same way the ankles do on a standard 1/6 body

Bumping. Getting to last call on the Leia dress. 2 days till deadline

 

[Drawbak]

Deadline for Yunsil Leia dress is tomorrow ...

I have the Cocolocoboy dress or I'd get that.

 

[irezumi]

Leia is still a favourite of mine.

 

[FlyAndFight]

With the custom dress from Coco, Leia is one of my favorites in my Star Wars collection.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Have just been moving figures around and reposing them.
This one will always have a special place in the collection.
Still holds up to this day imo.

 

[TonTon]

Nice shot, this sculpt still has the best paint apps of all the Leia's.

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

Released on this day 6yrs ago!!!!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Still one of my favorite SW sculpts from HT.

 

[afaninfull]

Hot Toys really nailed all the Leia sculpts.

I thought I read they had a sculptor and she did all the Leia’s as well as some of those other really knock ‘‘em out of the park sculpts like Yondu and maybe Robocop.

My modification for Leia

 

[CrankbaitJon]

Hoping for a re-issue or ver. 2 of this. I guess I'll have to wait for at least 45th anniversary of ANH.

Before the dark times. Before the sequels...
