Is the hood sewn to the back? I must have missed that.

You didn't miss anything, I haven't seen anyone confirm/deny anything about the hood - but I'm surprised the photo set doesn't include a hood-up shot.

Getting ahead of ourselves slightly, but will they be able to make a Slave Leia that doesn't have all the joints, etc showing? I know it goes with the territory on a figure, but surely it would lose most of its aesthetic value?

They can definitely do it so that question isn't so interesting. The unknown is whether they will and if they do, will it rip, tear, dry out, rot, break, etc. Phicen make an absolutely phenomenal all-silicone body over top of a metal skeleton and while it has a few very delicate and thin parts, and could be greatly improved in the hands and feet, it's superb in construction over-all and I've never heard of any issues with the silicone breaking down. Hot Toys on the other hand, has had reported issues with almost every seamless part they've made, including most recently Gamora and Thor.

If they ever release one, they'll find a way to hide joints.

I have a functioning hood on my custom and, to my great surprise, I never have used it. So if this one isn't functioning that is ok with me.

It's like nipples under clothing though. I just feel better knowing they're there.

Good point... I guess.

Awesome. I'm relatively new to collecting Sixth Scale figures, so am only just getting to grips with what they can and can't do. I look forward to seeing what they can do.

For the ANH Leia - a lack of a working hood would be an like an oversight for a relatively simple figure like this.

I don't really see why they wouldn't make the hood capable of being pulled over her head. And it certainly looks like it's big enough to do so.

I think the issue might just be that the fabric is so incredibly light (as we can see with the rest of the outfit) that it's impossible to really drape around her head the way we see in the movie, so they didn't bother showing any pics of it.

Either that, or they just didn't want to do anything to hide their amazing headsculpt.

One of the best fabrics on a figure is Darth Malgus cape, it flows like water. Hopefully HT provide a quality outfit, cos its vital to get right

Yes, this is why the hood doesn't work.

If Hot Toys included a hood, then it will be usable - there's no way to include one at the right scale and make it permanently unusable. If it has a small stitch holding it in place, cut the stitch and presto, usable hood.

Ok, problem solved, next!

Will the figure include underwear or socks?

It isn't that it's held down, it is that the fabric looks too stiff to hang properly.

And I doubt she'll come with undies...after all there's no underwear in space

How about gaffer tape?

True, that's a possibility. It doesn't look like the dress hangs especially well to begin with.

Didn't Lucas tell Carrie there is no underwear in space and she never wore any?

If so, no underwear.....
