New version: Mr. Toys Slave Leia

[shadow_wolf]

The body skin tone is perfect, shadow_wolf.

But I think that I prefer the head sculpt on the base, although the one on the figure is nice, too.

I switched back to the stock MT HS, I also like it better and the proportions is good with S17B.
The TT head looks tad too small.

I also managed to fix the MT's HS large forehead (I think lol). I am gonna stop here...

You will need to roll the rubber leg up a bit … now you can see the ball joint and a long rod …. this is where you need to cut a section out… then sleeve it with a bit of tube …. please make sure you know how much you won’t to shorten her … made mine over a year ago so only guessing it’s 10 mmView attachment 577570

Can you tell me where you found this tube? What is it made of? Aluminum?

Any good modelling shop… think I used aluminium but brass will do the same thing

Thank you. I actually found some large pop rivets I had laying around that did the job pretty well. Great tip. Now to go back and adjust all my other figures that need it with these.

Which body is that? The proportions look pretty good.

It’s the S17B suntan Phicen body. Works really well. Has much smaller breasts than most Phicen bodies but still has good proportions like curvy hips and wider shoulders rather than the “no hips” and big butts they usually come with. I did the height mod as well. It started off much taller.

What’s the height mod? Did I miss it earlier in the discussion?

This is the height mod Bob-1962 did. Cut 10mm off the ankle post and sleeve with a piece of metal tube to keep it together. It shortens the height and stabilizes the figure.

If you have a Hobby Lobby near you, goto their modeling section. The typically have brass & aluminum tubes for sale in an assortment pack.

I’m not interested in this figure so my only contribution will be to let people know I saw this was in stock over at Giantoy.

Yup

I wish I jumped on this.... It's so crazy to think we'll never get an official Hot Toys

Found this listing for stateside, albeit at an inflated price, and includes the TBL body:

Here's my Slave Leia. I picked up a knockoff Bespin Leia head on eBay because I wasn't happy with the Mr Toys head. I added some earrings, swapped out the ponytail, used the S17B body, gave it a pastel crayon color match, glued the fabric panels to the gold plates so it would sit right, added a bracelet on her left wrist to hide the seam, and found a gold tube for the end of her ponytail. I didn't shorten the legs, I was OK with the height as is. I was also tempted to make the fabric panels more purple, but those auction pictures of the original costume a few posts back convinced me to keep it as is. Happy to have this in my collection.
