the original has a sculpted skirt which I painstakingly removed. It required me to dremel it away from her butt, putty over the square hole it left, and paint match her entire right cheek. Not bad, huh? I also had to drill up from the bottom of the base to free the pegs and rods holding her to the damn thing.
Yes, the original statue debuted at Comic Con '06. Carrie Fisher was actually there, saw the statue and threw a b-i-t-c-h fit right there in front of everybody complaining that eveybody could see 'HER' (not Leia's) cooch. The statue was then reworked and redebuted at Star Wars Celebration III, the 30th anniversary, with a more modest coverage of skirt, to which I said F-that! That is the Fisher story as told to me by a GG employee at CIII who was there at Comic Con.
Very, very impressed by this!!! Have tried all sorts of Slave Leias but nothing seems to sit very well with my 1/6ers. This looks really good with Jabba in a way that the GG statue attached to the base doesn't. No wonder Jabba looks so happy, he's got a great view
As for the stuff from C3, shouldn't Carrie be flattered? If there's a demand for her butt as she was in her prime, she should take it as a complement (she can't be THAT unhappy about it, there was a UK TV show not so long ago where she had the topless mod version of the GG slave leia statue on display in her home, which shows a lot more than a flash of butt cheek!) After lurking on these boards for all this time I can't believe my first post is in reaction to Princess Leia's butt!
