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

Ah, that would explain it. Well, standard Leia is still available for preorder at Popcultcha and probably works out cheaper at the current exchange rate.

It's about US$10 cheaper at Sideshow than PC after conversion (Leia went up later than figs like Chewy,) but the EX is worthless so no great loss. My SSC order for the EX is still in place so I guess the quota thing is true - but who knows, I'll prob get a message from SSC saying my order was made in error so they're cancelling it.

She looks fantastic. Thankfully they didn't change anything with the sculpt like they did with Luke.

Best ever Star Wars 1/6th sculpt?
I think so.

Only one that nails the character?



So... to keep score overall, this now means HT has totally nailed:

Stormtrooper body
Chewbacca body
Leia



Oh, and a few parts of Vader.

Many would argue about having Chewie on that list. (I love him) Anyway point is there hasn't been a better SW 1/6 sculpt of any character by any company.

Those Leia and R2 pics are amazing. There's one of my detolf shelves right there.

No surprises on this release. Shame about the dress - it has to go (same thing George said).

Fantastic! It's definitely an order now. Luke needs her sister.

It's kind of bittersweet. This is exactly what I imagined in my head, years(!) ago when I posted in some thread how much I'd like Hot Toys to take a run at this license, and how I'd like ANH Luke & Leia.

I think the Hot Toys ANH line is amazing, and the best thing we've seen and maybe will see for a long time in 1/6, but I do think they fell short here and there, possibly due to rushed production, or maybe just due to their own idiosyncratic art direction. It is what it is, these make a great set.

I think I'll be picking this figure up -- it really looks exceptional.

Absolutely beautiful sculpt! A++++ HT!

Leia must be wondering who all those vaguely familiar faces are around her.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. Particularly with Han. This great Leia sculpt really highlights how bad the Han sculpt is. Makes me think of this:

Superb sculpt, Definitely best OT SW Sculpt. Paint apps are good, dress too short but Idon't care. Looks amazing with R2 in backdrop although I'd prefer a different one, maybe transom scene.

She completes the ANH line with terrific results and when all posed together, I think it makes them all look better.

I actually think the Han sculpt is alright. I think Luke is a worse offender.

What a group shot

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

Great group shot! Leia looks awesome. She'll be the first female HT that I'll actually keep.

As far as the line up goes, Han is my least favorite sculpt so far. Not only in terms of accuracy but size too. Seems small compared to the others. I'm perfectly happy with Luke though.

She turned out really well...Amazing how well HT does when not rushed....
