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

My feeling is we won't know until it releases in HK. It's bound to be pretty lacklustre, though. If ordering elsewhere is giving you some sort of significant advantage, I'd just do that.

Between shipping, sales tax and certain retailer's discount off MSRP, I could probably save $30 on Leia buying somewhere other than Sideshow (SSC).

Sideshow's sales tax and their high shipping fees (typically $10 for 1/6 Hot Toys), in particular, usually kills it for me. Unless it's an exclusive accessory that I really want, I usually shop elsewhere. Plus SSC, does not double box which increases the chances for damage. My Marty McFly shipment arrived crumpled - then you have to go through the hassle of requesting a replacement.

Like you mentioned, the backdrop diorama is bound to be pretty lackluster so I'm heavily considering cancelling the preorder at SSC. But I would like to see an actual visual of the final prototype before deciding. Luckily Leia did not require a deposit.

Once Leia arrives, the circle will be complete. The ANH collection will be finito.*




*Unless there's a Hot Toys Tarkin and Greedo...

I've avoided the ANH line, but I would jump at the chance to have a Tarkin. He's so under appreciated as a character. Idk why Hot Toys chose not to make him.

I will say, after Leia... the only character I would really love from ANH is Tarkin. I mean, to be honest, I don't have plans to get many Star Wars toys from the OT beyond the ANH main characters and Boba. But Tarkin would be really cool.

I agree, although snow speeder luke and an Admiral Ackbar would be hard to resist.

No release news yet? This will be mine first female figure

Not due to ship from Sideshow until March, sometime, so have awhile yet.

I wonder what has kept bumping this figure back. A very basic figure that doesn't come with much. Could be that exclusive background piece that is being tweaked...

It may be something really mundane like the factory being double booked!

Whatever the reason it has me a bit impatient having all the others on the shelf already!

Leia will be arriving now to the warehouse on March-April 2016.

Hopefully the delay is so the figure comes out perfect!

Patience boys. A three or four month delay is commonplace in this hobby.

No kidding, but with all the star wars figures coming out so close together I feel a bit like a hot toys crack fiend. Give me my fix Howard!

Yep, pushed further back.

So.... you have a twin sis-ter. Hot Toys failure is complete.

Delay is fine and will give me time to replenish my wallet. Lately it's been on fire.

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

Pushed back another month? Eh, not mad. A lot of stuff has been shipping out. Gives everyone time to catch up. I wish they would just unveil that backdrop though. Give us something for now

Chinese New Year is to blame.
