Leia is on fire! 
Great pics, guys! Such a simple but striking figure. One of my favorites.

Finally got to open my Hoth Leia today.Such a superb figure!!!
Congtrats on getting the figure on display but it does seem like a travesty to cover up that amazing sculpt with the mask, though.
It was really bugging me how wide and shapeless the outfit was on this figure, so I decided to do a bit of radical surgery. I removed the undersuit, narrowed the waist, hips, and legs on the body quite a bit, and then slimmed down the outfit as much as I could. The material they used still creates a lot of ugly wrinkles I'm not crazy about, but it's at least a bit more form-fitting now and she looks more petite like she should be.

Yeah a while ago I also reddened the cheeks and repainted the eyes.

Gotta say that makes quite a difference. Well done.
Great mods and paintwork. Wish you had a before and after picture.
Well I do love a good comparison pic. Unfortunately this is the best I could come up with, using an old pic I posted in the collection thread with a new one taken from the same distance. Not the best quality, but I think it gives the basic idea.

That looks awesome. I’ve been after this for ages and just got her off eBay. So did you shave some off the body? Did you alter/ take in the costume?
Paint looks great too, adds more realism[emoji106]

Thanks. And yeah I shaved down the waist, hips and legs, cut and tightened up the rubber torso, and took in the outfit both in the back and on the sides.

Yeah, that's really great. Less frumpy.

When you say you shaved down, did you just dremel the plastic body or something more elegant lol.
