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.

Thanks! It wasn't a full repaint though, I just added some extra layers to the existing paint. Only thing I really repainted was the eyes.
Amazing mods man. Just a quick question, to remove the suit did you unpick the stitches at the front or the back of the suit? Mine has a broken arm so I need to do some surgery so the suit has to come off.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 picked up Leia yesterday while at a convention. She was a store return as she was "totally broken".
I bought her for £90 / €100/$115 and figured I could try and fix her.
I opened the box to find that the only issue was that the bicep swivel joint on the left arm had cracked and will need to be reglued. Other than that shes in perfect condition.

I never intended to buy her as I have the ANH version but sometimes you just can't pass up a deal!
The backpack was a present from my wife after my last one was stolen from my car. It's very cool, even if I do say so myself!

Congrats, j14. I've been pondering picking up Hoth Leia as well. Not sure if to get her or the Bespin Leia version, which I'm leaning more towards. I don't need both.
And cool looking back-pack!
