Hot Toys 1/6 Hoth Leia

[Drake]

I gotta say I absolutely love this figure, but my biggest complaint with it is the fact that the gun is sooooo loose in the hand. Why did they not form the trigger hand to hold it better?

I completely agree with that. I was very disappointed that she didn't have a better gloved gun holding hand. The ungloved hand is a much better fit with the gun, but just doesn't look right to me with all the Hoth getup on.

On the upside, mine finally arrived, no spots or other issues, and the stare doesn't bother me (in fact it captures the stern look that Leia often had very well in my opinion), so I'm quite happy with this piece, all in all. Though it does make me long for a Hoth Han and Hoth Luke to go with it...

Where'd you get it from?

Ebay scares me when sellers won't answer whether they have blue-dots or not.

 

[Drake]

Sideshow, though it seems to have come directly from Hong Kong, which is a first for me.

Just got a Hoth Leia off ebay with the 20% off code. In box pictures look clean, but the guy is going to check for me when he gets home before he ships.

She's a great figure, I hope you enjoy. The figure feels extremely light. She's my only hero in Hoth gear.

Hope you like it, indeed. As mentioned, it has its shortcomings, but it's overall a good figure. Stock vs stock, I think it's better than ANH.

Thank guys! I'm sure I'll like her, never intended not to have her in the case.

I’m looking at one myself. Just messaged the seller to see if he can look if it’s stained or not. Only a couple hours or so left on the sale though. Might chance it even if I don’t hear back considering it’s a nice discount.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, I sent notes to three sellers.

Only one got back so I went with him. The other two had multiples and ended up selling them all. But I don't trust someone who can't get back to me, regardless of discount.

Blue dot aggravation is not worth it to me.



Can you use this coupon multiple times? What else can I get! All the well-priced diecast Mk VIs went in minutes.

Did you message the seller: popculturezone by chance? I just did a little bit ago as I just found out about this sale. I’m not expecting an instant reply but wondering if I have a chance at hearing back.

I think it’s one use per account but applies to anything in your cart.

I did message that guy. Never heard back, but his sales ended. Did he put more up?

There’s one up with a Buy It Now of $224.99 and free shipping.

His disclaimer at the bottom of the auction in bold put me off:

Pictures shown are prototypes and changes to the final product may be made. The picture may not correspond to the final shipped product.


Sounds like he could claim that blue-dots are a "change".

Yeah I did see that too. I didn’t know if that’s just a standard warning about in hand not matching prototypes or what. My luck is it’d be stained. Might just pass.

Just noticed too where it says returns not accepted. Yeah, not chancing it. Bummer.

How does that work though if you get an item not as advertised and PayPal/ebay protect you? Doesn't he have to accept a return despite what he says? Or do you get your money back AND get to keep the figure?

I think if he misleads in the sale, then his "won't accept returns" is also defunct.

Problem is proving to ebay that the dots are not part of the figure, since there are others that have it. It might be deemed a manufacturer error, and not the seller's fault. That's why I just stay away in this instance. Not worth the potential aggravation and time.

Yeah agreed. Not worth the hassle and with my luck I’d wind up stuck with a stained figure. I asked a couple other sellers including one who got their figure from Sideshow. I’ll see if either of them answers.

I hate how so many sellers on eBay only show stock photos instead of actual in hand photos.

Just opened this up tonight. Wow just wow. HT completely knocked this out of the park. Beautiful figure.

Glad to hear that. Mine's on it's way from BBTS and the negative opinions were causing me to worry a little.

Has anyone attempted to get this figure into a crossed arms pose yet, the way she was when they first arrived on CC and first met Lando?
