I'm just doing a repose now and the pinching is actually stitched in place under the belt. I can't un futz it!!



The belt appears to be glued shut. Sorry I don't know what body it is.

Any chance you could take some shots with her hood up? Thanks in advance.

It's weird. The SS dress didn't seem that long either. I think the body was a bit too tall on that one as well. I put mine on a shorter body I modified. I've seen some custom dresses that look really nice.






Looks like it was meant to be longer. Wonder what happened?

This poor figure wall called monkey face before. My Sideshow version will go back to the box once my HT version arrived.

Wow the SS version looks like a Hasbro toy compared to the HT one

I know we've been down this road before with other figures but I decided to beat the horse to death a little more.
Does anyone else think $18 to ship Leia from SS is a bit much? I can't see how she weights that much given there's not much in the package.

When I see farm boy Luke I see Tom Cruise. When I see Princess Leia I see Princess Leia what a fantastic sculpt!! She even giving off some attitude.

I'm convinced the problem with Luke is the hair color. Stormie Luke looks much more like Hamill even though it's the same sculpt.

I saw Luke for the first time in person yesterday at my local store and right away zero likeness. I could have the best day and see that face sculpt and be sad. He looks so down. ��

Just don't order from SS if it's not $10 flat rate. Their shipping prices have been around $15-$20 for everything for the past year or so.

The US dollar is strong, and depending on what state you're in, you have sod all taxes and duties to pay. You're doing ok.

If you want to see crazy shipping charges, order from Entertainment Earth.

I'd say the likeness is obvious, but like all sculpts is has sweet spots (angles), and low spots, and ALL of it is dependent on lighting and presentation. And then there's the fact that if I said "picture Mark Hamill from ANH" to 100 people, they'd think of 100 looks.

One thing I've noted is that Mark rarely had his mouth closed for more than a second or two of screen time a t once even during his contemplative scenes, so the fact that HT chose to go with the fully closed mouth probably doesn't help too much.

But I'd say the number one issue with most if not all of the human HT SW line is that there was just about NEVER a time in the movie in which any of the characters had basically NO expression at all. So to depict them as neutral as they have probably doesn't weaken the actual feature for feature likeness of the sculpt as much as it doesn't match our memory of the characters as they moved through the film...

I'm wondering. Does anyone notice how different it was in painting between prototype and heads that they sell

As great as this production figure is, it's never going to measure up to the JC Hong paint master. And while I love to see what JC is capable of, sometimes I wish they would run one off at the factory and use THAT sculpt in the promo shots so that we don't invariably have to go through the proto-prod let down (although it seems minimal with this release!). Leia may be the best proto-prod we've ever seen!


...also the lighting is completely different in those two shots above, so it's really apples and oranges.
