It's all fantastic..Truce

Yeah, the neck doesn't actually bother me, was just pointing out that we can nit pick almost any photo as we saw with that group shot with the scary Chewie.

I like the shots where you can see the fullness of Leia's face (so more straight on), really like that HT captured that and didn't make her too lean in the face. They still made her overall pretty slim and I wonder if we'll see any padding or fat suits added to Leia.

Can't wait. Always look forward to your pics and the change in tone the thread will take as a result (never fails).

Just preordered mine.

Unlike Luke and Han, I'm perfectly happy with this head sculpt. Can't wait!

I still like this one



This looks like Carrie as Leia IMO those eyes in the shot, probably the best I've seen of her

^^^ wow they got that sculpt perfect. The bun look is so legendary and this is one of their most perfect sculpt from a likeness stand point. (They usually do mess up women likeness by miles) and this is their take 1 and right out of the park!

His pricing is quite high. I think I'll just wait for my SSC preorder.

Being in the UK it works out roughly the same, if not a bit cheaper, than ordering with SSC for me.

I ordered through Timcent with EMS shipping but he said he had so many orders that day he forgot to send my order via EMS. Refunded my shipping but it's gonna be a little longer before I get her in hand.

Can't wait to see your pics Para. I'm curious if the dress length can be futzed to make it a bit longer.

Looking forward to your pics and thoughts, Para.



As for the dress, it doesn't look like futzing won't be much help. Oh I'm sure the dress can be pulled down a bit more to get closer to the ankle but you will lose the billowy look above the belt which is crucial in my opinion. *sigh* It really takes this figure down a couple notches. Even if a custom is made I don't think I would buy one either. It's just too expensive to top off an already expensive figure. Oh well, I'm still looking forward to her. I can' wait to see that sculpt in person.


So this is out in HK now. What's it, usually month before hitting North American shores?

My problem with the dress would be the stiffness (like Luke's) before the length.

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

My decision to buy or pass will be determined by how the dress drapes. I don't care how good the head sculpt is the clothing has to look natural along with it. Darth Vader was one of the figure who had a decent cape material.

After spraying some water on it, Lukes tunic gi thing looked and draped a lot better so perhaps this will too in hand
