Official 1/6 Leia as Boushh Image Thread

A few more quick ones.

Wow! Amazing shots, MaulFan! Your photos are the next best thing to having the figure in hand (which I still don't - come on, Sideshow, ship it already! ). Is that the Hasbro carbonite block? Looks great with Boushh!

 

[King Darkness]

MF your pix are amazing!

Yes it is, one of my favorite pieces from the Hasbro 12" line, not 100% accurrate, but pretty damn close, especially when it was made with a toy mentality. If Sideshow makes one, I hope it's loaded with LED's, and if they could somehow include an LED that would recreate the overhead light from Jabba's palace, that'd be so badass.

Given the dejarik table I don't think it's a longshot to think that Sideshow would put out a carbonite block as a stand alone accessory. It would be wicked awesome if they did!

A Carbonite block is a definite must... although its a been a long time since we've seen any Jabba related accessories. I hope it doesn't mean that ship has sailed already.

Doubtful, Sideshow just recognizes that, although many of us want to build up the Jabba display with each new offering related to it, that vast majority of collector's don't want to see them spend a great deal of time on any one group. People felt they touched upon PT Jedi enough and wanted them to move on from that, now we're seeing a great deal of OT stuff, specifically ANH for the anniversary, and now with Bespin Luke, a further build of ESB. I'm certain we'll see more from Jabba's palace before all is said and done, but for now, other than the Rancor, they've hit up the major critters seen with the Salacious and Bubo packs (and I get a feeling they enjoy making creatures) and the most important of 1/6 characters have been hit, with possibly the exception of Skiff Lando and a Gamorrean Guard (which would require major R&D to make). Right now, I think they've turned their focus towards core characters like Han, possibly see Lando (ESB outfit most likely) sometime down the line, trying to find an avenue to get us a great Chewbacca, some representation of R2 & 3PO, VADER of course, the Emperor. There's a great deal worth getting done before expanding upon the background / short term appearances of Jabba's Palace. Other than a Carbonite block, I don't think any figure is really critical to the display at this point to justify ignoring the other characts I've listed.

I agree with MaulFan. IMO, Jabba's Palace seems to be the one massive display (so far) of which Sideshow wants to create the ultimate verison. However, they are going to spend a couple of years developing it so as to not tie up all their resources and get stuck in a rut. The latest announcements show that they are trying to diversify their SW offerings.

I like the way you think! Perhaps they could even include a small section of wall on which to hang the carbonite block (which could also accommodate the overhead light you were referencing). I'd love to have him hanging behind Jabba without having to rig something of my own making. And the lights would indeed be badass!

 

[galactiboy]

You are probably right... There are a lot of great figures they could make for Jabba like Squid Head, Rees Yees and the various nefarious dregs that hung out at the palace.

At the very least I hope we eventually get the Carbonite block, but I'd love to see some of these guys peppered around the series!

The Carbonite Block would not only go with Jabbas Palace but also Bespin.

 

[The Josh]

I'd like a nice Carbonite Block to go with my Jabba setup. Nice shots by the way Maul.

 

[JGouse0498]

If they can make a Holo Sidious with Mechno-Chair, then they dang well better make Carbonite Han!!!

That would truly be a must-buy, and maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised at SDCC.

 

[Prime Clone]

I want the Jabba's Palace range to continue if only so I can get a B'omarr Monk!

Here's Hasbro's not-as-good light-up Carbonite Han ...

 

[Jango56031]

I found this carbonite block on ebay a couple of years ago. It's resin and came unfinished but couldn't be easier to paint with pewter/metalic paints. I still see these on the bay once in a while. No idea of its origins. It works well for displaying with Jabba until SS makes their version with light-up side panels of course.

Leia is scheduled for delivery tomorrow (Monday) Can't wait to add her to the group.

 

[abake]

Leia looks really nice, one of SST's best 12" yet, judging from the pics.

 

[jedibear]

Leia as Boushh has arrived to the far NorthEast!

Gotta get to work for another double but wanted to throw a quick one up here....I'll get more tomorrow...

Folks...no praise has been too much for this one! She's fantastic! Both portraits are stunning...the paint on the "reveal" portrait is one of the best I've seen. She is by far the best OT character we've seen so far...

She requires a little futzing (mostly redress to straighten out twisted limbs)...but damn! What a stunner! Well worth the wait!

 

[The Josh]

Great shot JB!

 

[galactiboy]

Sounds like a lot of people got twisted limbs... they usually aren't much of a problem.

I wonder if its because of the body, or maybe just the tightness of the clothes?

 

[Memnoch]

sigh so hows this for a kick in the no-nos...my Leia is due to arrive Friday while im at Comic Con. Maybe I will take an extra day off work just to play.
