PF Leia

[tomandshell]

Been awfully quiet on the PF Leia front....

Is anybody else excited about the first female Star Wars PF? Or has Grievous stolen the spotlight?

Last I checked, she is still scheduled for a May release, yet we are a third of the way through May and still no 30 day notice in the newsletter. Wonder when she'll be coming? June's going to be pretty crowded, so I had hoped she wouldn't get pushed back into that month's paycheck--but that seems inevitable at this point, with no updates or notices.

I'm looking forward to Leia. I'm still exited about my Grievous wait-list conversion and I hope the same happens with her. I really want the Stormtrooper blaster.

Is Grievous on time or was it supposed to come out earlier?

Grievous and Leia are both scheduled for May.

One PF at a time tom. To be honest, I'm equally excited about the next two PF statue's coming. Right now, my focus is on the 1:1 Maul bust though. :maul

 

[Darklord Dave]

Leia is probably my most wanted (although I really want the other version I'm sure they're working on). It's probably those darned eyelashes that are holding her up -- yeah, that's it!

I've been wondering the same thing I've got an excess of money, Sideshow needs to get this out soon. I didn't order Grievious, so I'm real excited for the princess.

 

[SnapJimmy]

I'm also very excited about Leia. I hope SS releases Chewy soon. :chew
Those 4 Rebels would go perfectly together~

My wait list for the exclusive got converted in January, so I am thrilled to be getting this one. With this PF, I'll have 6/6 Exclusive SW PF. Unlike others, I wouldn't mind this figure getting delayed until the end of June...my credit card could use the break.

Of course, this shouldn't deter Sideshow from announcing another PF...come on Chewie :chew :chew :chew

 

[Weasel]

After seeing the photo posted above, I was wondering; is anyone now disappointed with Sideshow's decision to use an enviromental type base for the Luke piece? Would you have prefered a plain black base like all the other PF's that followed Luke?

Oh, and by the way...I'm anxiously awaiting the PF Leia!

 

[KitFisto]

I am VERY excited about the PF Leia and also hope for a Chewie soo as someone else said they go perfect together.

The enviromental base is about the only thing I like about the Luke, besides the pose of course. I had to cancel my PF Leia . I'm just getting hit too hard right now and my car needs some work done. Not to mention space is quickly becoming an issue.

 

[KitFisto]

I was changing things around last night to make some space. I am pretty anal about how stuff is displayed. I like it all one a shelf looking nice and not just "sitting" somewhere and all cluttered looking.

I am still not 100% happy and need to figure out some more shelf options. I will post some pics once a few more things are settled over on the show your shelves forum.

 

[The Josh]

Was never really interested in getting this PF piece. I might get a Slave Leia if they do that but Leia just isn't one of my faves.

 

[Gruson]

I cannot wait for Leia. Who cares about the General?

I just hope she is not delayed.

As for Luke, as much as I love that the Sideshow piece resembles a classic scene from ANH, I do wish he had a normal base and was standing straight. it would just look better when displayed with the other PF pieces.

I still love Luke though, I think he looks really good (assuming you get a good paint job)

Bring on Leia! I hope that R2 and C3PO are after Fett.



So Mini, how are you going to display Maul? just wondering...

 

[carbo-fation]

I wish Sideshow had a different type of base with every exclusive. Luke and Han excl. just look out of place.

 

[Zoomaround]

I agree that Luke's base throws off the continuity of having the three figures (Luke, Leia & Han) displayed together. I have both the regular and the exclusive Luke and plan to display them as bookends.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all the other statues are made with the regular black base.

Can't wait to get Leia. Han's pretty lonely.

 

[KitFisto]

The Luke base does not really bother me. I would have liked it if it were plain black like the others, but I am ok with it as is and it does not keep me from displaying him with the other PF figures.

 

[Agent0028]

I'm not getting Grievous so he's not stealing Leia's spotlight for me. I've got this lovely little empty spot between Luke and Han just waiting for her. As for Luke's base...having him in that pose on the dune is what got me started on the Star Wars PF figures, had he come standing straight up in some pose or other like Han and Leia I doubt I would have gotten him. I do wish it was a little different now to make him display better with them, but its not enough of a problem that I dislike it. Worst comes to worst I'll just have to buy another Luke figure (if they make one) with a plain black base and him standing straight up to display with Han and Leia and then have this one somewhere else. With the base and pose it makes a wonderful piece to be just by itself.

Same here, Leia is a classic OT Character and having her displayed with the Exclusive blaster trumps any Prequel character IMO. I think the Exclusive Edition size of only 1000 will eventually make her more collectible as well.

As for SSC, it seems they're releasing way too many items (spread out over a 2 qtr pre-order period) at the same time, June-July, which is a total bummer on the wallet. Wish they would stick to the original release dates, whatever that is these days.

I have the Exclusive Han, who does have an environmental base, and looks fine alongside Luke.
