Watercolors? Those aren't going to be watercolors. Likely acrylic paint.

Thought so, couldn't be 100% sure till I zoomed on my phone.

Watercolors aren't nearly opaque enough and wouldn't stick. Acrylic paints are water based so they can be thinned by water but very different than watercolors.

They're special paints smuggled South from North Korea.

I wouldn't normally jump at a figure like this, but its got Christmas present for the star wars loving GF written all over it! Shame its coming out in early 2016 lol. Anyway, they got Carrie Fishers face bang on! However I will certainly wait for the final release pictures before pulling the trigger. I think the paint application will either make or break this figure.

If you guys break up, will you ask for her back?

Rough how? Do you not think it's a good likeness?

No, it's a great likeness. I mean the texture.

I know what you mean. HT is trying to achieve that powdered look she had. I think that is what you are referring to.

Im sure the price has been mentioned already, but uk average of £200 ($312) for a fem nude in a nightgown, no way can I justify that. Beautiful likeness though, cant fault it.

At $204.99 from Sideshow that converts to £131 at today's rate. Hasn't stopped me ordering it though[emoji15]

These are costs your local dealers have to contend with as well when pricing their stock. Open an account with the shipping carrier to reduce their brokerage/handling charges and use a $20 coupon code from Sideshow in September.

People in the US pay very little sales tax and none when ordering from another state, but the situation in the UK is virtually the same everywhere else except where these figures originate. When you see the condition of some the the roads and other infrastructure in some US states, you'll know you're still getting a good deal.

Yip, it's cheaper to order from SSC direct at $311AU, earn the bonus points and it arrives via Fedex from Cali within a week. I've waited longer than that for post to come interstate in Oz many a time.
