Hot Toys 1/6 Hoth Leia

[Bo Shrek]

Looks great but I could do with eyes looking slightly relaxed. It's a little too strenuously wide open! She would look perfect posed next to Chewbacca. The height difference would look phenomenal

She does look a bit like she's being goosed. Or thinking, "Look at the size of that thing..."

I've been whining/pining for a Leia figure from ESB for a while now, so this was an easy preorder. I would've preferred a Bespin version, but if this is the only Leia HT makes from this movie, then I'm more than happy with it.

That's my only gripe about the head sculpt. HT struggles with female head sculpts that show some life/emotion, and this figure has a combination of a blank stare and overly wide open eyes.

Still an incredible sculpt, although I do hope for the next one they try to give her at least a hint of an expression.

Pre-order sold out at BBTS. Damn, that was fast!

WOW! That was fast. Numbers are certainly coming down from earlier preorders.

I imagine there will be plenty when she finally ships. But likely preorders (first wave) are much, much smaller than once was.

She would give Han "the look" when she was yelling at him where her eyes were actually wider, so I think that's kind of the look they may have modelled?

It's sort of a...tight-lipped glare that I remember.

I've a feeling well see another run of bespin Luke from hot toys. Probably won't be dx, but who knows they might do a standard and a deluxe option. But I'd be happy with a peers-less bespin Luke for sure. Oh, Leia looks rad.

The DX07 headsculpt is amazing though the likeness is idealized and could stand to be more accurate. That said, the set is an absolute masterpiece and a high mark for Hot Toys' entire body of work. Sideshow's MO is to re-release watered down versions of earlier releases (Vader, Fett) Hot Toys has never done this and I do not see them starting now with the long list of other things they could do...maybe a "Dagobah Training Luke" with tank top etc...but I think we have seen the last Bespin Luke with a Hot Toys logo...

Which fits a lot of her moments in ESB actually. Pretty much every look she gave Han, watching the blast doors close, being wary of mynocks, waiting for Lando to greet them, etc.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Is that the face you guys want?

I want the tard hand with it.

I think I might be able to withstand the awesomeness of this figure and just stick with the current ANH Leia, especially since she wears that same white dress at the end of RO and ESB. Nice bit of overlap with just the one figure considering the dress appears in my three favorite SW films.

How dare you. How insensitive. She wants you.

I was thinking the same thing actually.

The likeness is marvelous, but the eyes seem a bit wide. She almost has a look where she is opening her blinds in the morning and sees that her car is missing in the driveway.

As of now, I think I'm also in the camp that very slightly prefers the ANH sculpt.

 

[Darth Fok]

Can't wait to get this one. I'll probably buy another of the same stand to hold the ESB Luke pilot

Interesting how we all see things differently; for me the HK photos suggest that it's the mouth and chin that are slightly off. The eyes look great up me.

Treat em mean, keep em keen !

Can't wait to see if this "sold out" ploy works for the retailers.

Seeing the pic from Secret base gives a clear view of the pretty wonky looking DH-17 "rebel" blaster Leia comes with (same one comes with HT Imperial Gunner) - HT mistakenly based their blaster on the Hasbro Nerf blaster that a lot of cosplayers paint black (there's pics everywhere on google, so I can see how HT got mixed up) instead of the actual DH-17 prop blaster seen in the movies.

Bit of a bummer - it's a harder to find blaster in 1/6, only available with a small handful of Sideshow figs (Lando, Rebel Fleet and Antilles,) whereas the stormie blaster is so common these days, coming with almost everything.

It should come with some yellow darts.

What sold out?
