The Princess Leia Preorder Thread

Yup, overall I like what I see. One shot makes the head look odd the rest look fine. As far as the exclusive it's something you can miss if you don't want it that bad and still have a awesome figure.

I really think the body should be smaller as well along with the head.

The crappy Art S Buck is what it is.

And if they don't fix that IMMEDIATELY and know that they won't be able to get away with it for this line there will be trouble.

Yes! All the Star Wars nerds will head to the Sideshow offices shaking their lightsabers in the air!

I'm definitely ordering her.

I don't know about the size of the heads, but the fact that the necks are far too small for a head that size is troubling, at least with Boushh, Asajj, and even this Leia, there are clothes to help bulk it out a little better, but Slave Leia wouldn't go well.

A head shot comparison

You bet I'll get one--the exclusive too!

A head shot comparison

Not entirely a good way to compare, SSC's shot is a closeup portrait, which is guaranteed to have some lens distortion, whereas the Carrie Fisher image is a piece of a full body shot.

For me it shows how the head is not right.

The head may not be right but my point is you're comparing heads shot under different conditions, I shoot photography professionally and one thing you can notice with nicer cameras, if you shoot closeups by bringing the lens closer to the subject, there's a distortion versus keeping back and zooming in on the subject, and the SSC shot looks to be a distorted closeup where the Carrie image is a piece of a full body shot, and distortion is almost a dead issue in those types of shots.

Okay...I'm feeling like an idiot here...where are these pictures everyone's commenting on? I've been to the SSC site and the only one I see is the banner headshot....am I missing something?

I will most likely place my order for the exclusive, but there is something way off on the sculpt. WAY off.

Hopefully the production pix will be a little better.

I'll definitely order the Exclusive and I'll----- keep it! The handcuffs are a small exclusive, but really what could she come with? Both guns are needed and the Death Star plans are better off with her than a future R2D2. I can't wait to pose her in cuffs in front of Lord Vader (medicom) with a Stormtrooper (medicom) at her side---- height adjustments on the medicom obviously. NOw all we need is a Grand Moff Tarkin (I could detect your foul odour the moment I was brought on board) and we can destroy some planets!!!

Thanks MF...I found them. I think she looks fine. Some of the other comments in the other thread about her are valid....some random impressions of my own....the dress seems a bit short & stiff looking....but Wor-Gar is probably right...other than the length, with some futzing, she should look fine.

I'm probably going to be inclined to find some tan or flesh colored hose for the legs to cover those exposed joints....I hope they leave the eyes like this...I really like the sidelong glance here....the accessory...small, but character-appropriate.

As for the slightness in the body's appearance....Carrie was a small little thing way back then (pub photos not withstanding) and I think this is yeat another case of the photos not quite doing the figure justice.

Lookin' forward to sizzlin' the servers on friday....

 

[MaulFan]

I hope Dusty or someone comes in here and could arrange a standing next to Han image so we can gauge the height of this figure. I never paid attention to Carrie's height until Hasbro's figures started being more accurrate about that and at first I was like she's so tiny what'd they do, then I looked at images of Carrie in the films and was like, oh, she IS so tiny. I think this will be a good figure, and I'm loving the Stormtrooper blaster, the detailing is amazing.

Save that for the ANH Vader..... pre-order for him is in two weeks, right?

 

[Boba Fett]

I'll be ordering it. I really don't have a problem with it.

Hate the exclusive, though.
