I'm also hoping they didn't give her a noticeable back-side like some of their other female figures. That would be distracting to say the least.

Dat flat ***.

Looks beautiful..

This has to be the best likeness of any 1/6 Star Wars figure to date.

The neck could be a bit thicker and the dress looks a little akward but this figure is still a huge win.

I called it, too. The best Hot Toys Star Wars figure that we would see so far. I hope she goes for pre-order soon.

Really surprised they went with sculpted hair over rooted at a time when their 1:6 female figures all have rooted hair.

They chose wisely. Imagine the collector uproar as the rooted hair starts 'falling out' of the buns.

But doesn't look natural especially next to Chewie.

Reverse it. Chewbacca doesn't look natural standing next to Leia. In fact, their Chewbacca doesn't look natural at all!

Mass producing rooted hair and then braiding it perfectly would be too time consuming and result in too many errors/product returns. They couldn't even be bothered to comb Black Widow's hair properly. It really only makes sense to use rooted hair if it goes past the shoulders, like Scarlet Witch.

These SDCC shots are looking better. It's like a lot of their stuff....great...from a certain point of view.

Still don't know if I wanna shell out for this version. Now a Hoth on, on the other hand (unless Sideshow is planning one..)

Not at all. Chewie is the only figure in this line who has rooted hair.

I really wish they would stop doing rooted hair until they can get it to look as good as sculpted hair. The only time I see good rooted hair is when someone does it properly on custom figures. It doesn't look natural or nice at all when they implement it onto their female sculpts. At least with sculpted hair it looks consistent and not like a Barbie doll.

I would take sculpted hair any day over this:

This looks great. Glad about the sculpted hair. Chewbacca just does not look good at this point. May cancel him. This is a definite pre-order.

Frankly i would never buy a sculpted plastic Chewie, the joints would be too obvious. Too toyish, nope

Looks like this and Fett will be purchases

Thank goodness that sculpted hair was used. Hologram AI's pic says it all.
