Looks the same to me, spongy and difficult to pose.

But like Kenobi's face, I doubt it will be changed.

Maybe I am wrong, but I think it is different.

Look here at this one. Can you see the stitching at the end of the sleeve? I know it is hard to make out, but I do not see it.

Then on this one, there is stitching on the sleeves.

Dress looks to be a different shade, although, that may be due to the lighting.

Also, on the neck, maybe I am just delusional, but on the new pics there is a V stitching pattern on the neck, on that old one, that is not there.

I can see stitching at the end of the sleeve, yes. Doubtful they've made any change, just shipped the "display show Leia" to the next show. The difference seems to be lighting and futzing. But its just my opinion.

I can see (or not see) each thing WWE is pointing out, but IMO, the new photo is too low resolution to know for sure. It might for example be the same fabric just a different sample dress - they've had multiple on display and we don't even know of each and every one is exactly the same.

Fingers crossed I don't have to commission someone to make a custom dress. Not sure if I'd ever be able to explain that one to wife/friends.

Look at the neck, anyone else see the difference?

Looks the same to me too. Here's hoping they come to their senses and change that dress material.

In any event, WWEJedi, "both" dresses are poor material.

Oh, THAT's the new one? That dress looks like crap. Damn.

Sleeve cuff looks crap.

Hmm, the gown does look a lot less sheer than in the proto. Which might be more accurate but I can't help but be a bit disappointed at the change in quality.

Although I guess we shouldn't be too surprised given how cheap the final Obi-Wan outfit ended up looking.

That Leia is just horribly posed and futzed with, for one thing. It's almost hard to really gauge the quality or lack thereof. The draping looks all kinds of wonky as is, but part of me feels like some messing around with it could go a long way. That being said, I do worry the garment is going to be kind of fussy. I realize it can be harder with more free-flowing garb, but It feels like something should have been done to help it contour more to the right places.

I'd prefer a heavier, flowy-er material for the dress that would hang more like the dress Leia wore in ANH. Ah well. I'll never pose my Leia with those wrist joints visible, so I don't think that the sleeve seams in the 2nd photo would bother me with her arms down. The headsculpt is too impressive for me to not be optimistic about this figure!

They can fiddle with the dress all they want to, I just hope they leave the sculpt alone. It looked perfect in the prototype.

A lot of issues with the dress could be due to futzing, because it looks like they barely did anything to it in the photo reuters posted.

Compared, for example, to this promo shot:

Wow they've absolutely butchered this figure. I was going to buy this but I think I'll pass

I hope those are just some terrible shots. The proto looks great... these other photos are frightening.

This version of the dress should have been the exclusive [emoji8]
