Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS298 - Star Wars: Episode IV - Leia Organa Collectible Figure
Had the chance to unbox leia today. Honestly I think the sculpt may be the best human likeness I have seen. For me it's up there with the dx jack sparrow and enterbay Tony Montana for 1/6. Except for being too short, I think the dress is fine. Mine does not have the wrinkles that I have seen in others photos though. I'm not even going to fight with that damn hood, it's never covering the near perfect sculpt anyway.
It's a barebones figure but I don't know what could have been done differently besides dropping the price $20. Which they are not going to do since it sets a bad precedent for them at this point. No hot toys figures will be under $200 retail anymore. If we are all being honest, anybody who bought this for $205 would have paid $220 anyway. If you have the vader torture droid you have everything you need.
The exclusive does suck though. Whoever here on the board first had the idea of the plastic holographic looking map background for the stand had a great thought.
