I love this one.
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
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.
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
I guess I am being to picky/harsh 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
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.
Just wow
