Hot Toys 1/6 Hoth Leia

[SilverStar17]

It always uses a more recent up to date pic of the actor / actress! It isn't saying the figure looks like an old Carrie Fisher, it's just using a more recent image of her.

That's what I was thinking.

I'm not sure if it's necessarily using that exact picture to compare it to, but more just simply in general showing a picture of the person who it looks like.

Hey this is off topic, but I just waitlisted a Hot Toy, and was wondering if anyone knows the chances of actually getting it? I don't know if thats rare or common and if anyone knows or has done this please lmk.

For me it has been a mixed bag. I've waitlisted aboit five items and gotten two conversions.

I hear it depends on your place in line.

Depends on what it is, how long it's been on waitlist, how long it has to release, etc. If it's out next month it's iffy. If it has been on release for three months, it's iffy.
If it just went to waitlist, you'll get one.

I've only once NOT gotten a waitlist conversion, and it was the one I waited longest to go on. Right now... it's iffy, but I think your odds will be okay. Plus, if you find it somewhere else, you can cancel a waitlist without penalty, so there's really no downside to going on the list sooner rather than later.

All of this. What is the figure that was waitlisted?

Wonder if this will sell out before it is coupon eligible? Trying hard to wait before pulling the trigger.

Do you mean the $20 coupons? Those work on new pre-orders too, so this one should be eligibile if you have one.

Should have said codes, but I guess those will only work on in-stock items, and I'm not sure if she will last that long.

A little bit more than a week left in August. Not much time to prove that August release date Toysapiens announced.

Sorry to disappoint you but they updated the information, and it now shows February 2018...

Yeah that's more along the lines of what I was expecting. And even then it'll likely be delayed a couple months anyway.

The dream crusher.

Any news about Leia? I lived a nightmare with Ripley and I think that I'm cursed because I see new delays with this figure and... I want her...

 

[TonTon]

No delays yet. Just false rumors that she was coming 6 months early that didn’t pan out.

 

[noisyrobot]

Considering selling my ANH Leia to be replaced by ESB Leia. Am I crazy?

I don't mind waiting. I want Hot Toys to release ESB Han.

 

[TonTon]

Thinking the same thing. Are we both crazy? The ANH head sculpt looks better to me but the Hoth outfit looks better. Character wise she kicks the most *** in ANH.

Yeah, I like the Hoth outfit better too. It translates to 1/6 more convincingly than the ANH outfit.

We're all crazy. Dudes just talking about their space-princess dollies...

 

[SilverStar17]

Well here are my sentiments: my favorite BttF film is BttF II, but I think the figure that better represents the BttF franchise is the BttF I Marty being that the first film is more iconic.

Hope that helps.

But then again, the Hoth Leia's outfit appears to be much better tailored and accurate than ANH Leia.
