I love this one. :panic:
 
Can't say I am impressed. The proto sculpt I liked better because of the cheek indents, seemed more true to her rather than the generic round face. This seems like an overpriced Barbie. Legs aren't that great, Barbie like. Clothes aren't that great either. I don't think they are even screen accurate.
 
The material of the figure dress to the real one is wrong. It doesn't look the same. Her real dress seems a bit see through, flows/sits good on her, thin material, the little bunches on each hip. Then the figure dress seems thick, doesn't sit well, no bunches on the hip, the cut is wrong (is that the right word?) I'm not big into clothes, so I probably sound like a bumbling idiot. I lack the clothing vocab to explain what I mean :lol

The dress is pleated on the hips same as the figure, but you're right in that the material is slightly different. Can't imagine it would be easy to work with sheer material on so small a scale.
But it's still the same cut as the onscreen dress (just a bit bulkier), and it's still black, so it doesn't matter much to me. :dunno:lol
 
The materials different becuase it doesn't scale. Putting a double ply silk dress on a figure would not work. To fragile and to light. And working the material without tears is near impossible It works at full scale becuase it has the weight to hold it down. For 1/6 scale it's to light to actually hang. You can't scale all materials. It doesn't work.

To get it to drape at all it had to be a heavier material. They got the actual pattern for the 1/1 dress/skirt thing but had to make minor changes becuase it's on a figure and not a real woman. Unless they sculpted Olsens body exactly it would never look exact. And the seams would be prone to issues.

Ah, pleated, that is the word for the little bunches :lol:lol

I guess I am being to picky/harsh :lol I think this is Hot Toys first production figure girl with a dress, so my hopes were high that they could get the material exactly right in hopes that would translate to Princess Leia :lol

Thank you for clarifying. To bad it wouldn't work. So technically it is not screen accurate :lol :monkey3
 
Very few 1/6 scale anything is 100% screen accurate. It's like saying the iron man figures are totally wrong becuase it's not made of resin and fiberglass or the same plastic, of the prac suits..or the metal titanium/gold alloy it's pretending to be..or the guns are not screen accurate becuase not steel...the people figures are not screen accurate becuase it's plastic not flesh..and on and on. Very few materials translate well to small scale, at a reasonable price and workability.

I have Leia on PO and even being optimistic, I think I can say with some certainty the dress won't be the same material/hang like it does in ANH. Scaling and all that :slap A result like they have with SW's dress (which I think is pretty darn good) is best case scenario for Leia at this point!
 
Her dress will hang a little better I think, without being as heavy a material. It's longer so it's got more weight and will naturally hang better. From the prototype it looks ok.
 
i dare say it looks way better than black widow
in terms of likeness and hair styling!
now i wont sell my sw order, instead i am keeping
it and will also order the civil war version.
 
Damn - fantastic photos, she looks so awesome!! Turned out great. :yess:

Now for the (long) wait for her to arrive ...:gah: :impatient:

TFA Rey's dress doesnt hang as naturally as it would
have in the movie either. i think its just not possible
to make it happen yet. although TH is already one of
the best 1/6 figure outfit maker.
 

This is a beautiful figure for sure. personally, I am waiting for the the full on Avengers look at the end of the movie because I try to get the versions of the characters which I feel evoke the most comic book feel to them. But this figure is a great figure and I hope lots of people buy it. It really is the best representation of the character from the movie and I love the bohemian feel they went with for the character. I can't imagine anyone being unhappy with this as a fan of the character in the film.
