I bought the cheapest KO Leia sculpt I could find on eBay, less than $20 shipped. I got it to mod it and use for the helmeted head and am definitely pleased with it. Paint apps aren't perfect but not bad. The sculpt is skewed a little bit that's best seen in that picture below. But now I don't have to worry about carefully putting on and taking off the helmet.

Good idea, I might have to do the same. Maybe even get a second one to put on the Sideshow Boushh.

These are a couple of bashes I've been working on that give you an idea of what the HT Leia Endor looks like with seamless arms. With arms in the neutral position, it gets rid of the visible joints the stock figure has, but if you raise the arms and bend them, you see a lot more of the elbow areas, so the seamless body helps a lot for those poses.

That looks great. Which body did you go with?

Sorry I actually don't recall - it's a HT body I had set aside for a Raiders Marion but because she needs exposed legs, I decided to swap the intended bodies. It's from maybe 4-5 years ago. The skintone also matched very well, a real issue with female bodies/heads/hands.

Ugh...I got a call from my local shop today...they are NOT getting this in...

Yeah, getting the skin tone to match up is definitely a pain but that looks good.

I have a spare Hot Toys Resident Evil Ada Wong body with seamless arms. I wonder if that would work.

It's from that era - either that one or the "Abigail Whistler" body. I think they are almost the same. It has the shiny hard plastic legs.

I’m trying to decide if I should just get Leia or the two pack or buy them individually. I read somewhere several pages back that Wicket that is sold individually has more darker tones to the fur?

1. Does the single pack Wicket have more accurate darker tones?

2. Any chance of the poncho staining Leia’s shirt?

Thanks

This set is now waitlisted on sideshow as well.

I have been meaning to buy the 2-pack but never got around to it. When it went waitlist I joined the next day. It has already converted so I'm glad, but man, I wasn't planning on dropping that money right now. I was holding out hope to get this with free shipping but I guess that shipped sailed.

As far as Star Wars goes, I don't think we're going to hit free shipping or discount codes on many releases in the future. If there's not big preorders, they do limited runs, and if it's a good seller no reason to discount.

Fingers crossed my place on waitlist can score this set. Held off on this a bit too long it seems

Fully agree. The best you can hope for is a small discount/free shipping on $350+ like Timewalker, or $4 shipping from BBTS (though they charge a bit more to offset that), or any other relationships you might develop with retailers. Secret Compass always discounted shipping for me.

But in general, the days of any discounts or free shipping offers from Sideshow are over for now for Star Wars characters.

Troopers, maybe free shipping if they hang around enough but I don't imagine that happening with a lot of them.

The Jet Trooper/Sith Jet Trooper might be the last to see some sort of discount.

Great username.

Same here. Got on WL 2 days after. Usually, if you get on it within a few days you should be okay. We'll see...

Got mine a couple of months ago. Leia is nice but Wicket is fantastic!
