Hot Toys 1/6 Hoth Leia

[teleray]

Got mine yesterday. I'm very impressed with the quality in the tailoring. Couldn't resist this classic pose out of the gate.

I was so afraid to open my box tonight. No spots!! With my luck my Peter Venkman Ghostbusters figure will probably arrive broken.

BBTS notified me that mine was supposed to ship in ten days but I wound up cancelling because I’ve already got Doc from Back to the Future Part II coming this week and Tarkin just charged today. Hopefully it’ll be in stock for a while longer so I can order at a later date.

Or pick it up on ebay without dots.

You know, if it turns out that only a relative few have dots, those will be worth lots of money in the future. You know, in the future when people want dots.

There have been several situations where a widespread issue has occurred and customers were told by Sideshow to return for a refund or pound sand.

Like SSC Jason....crooked chevron’s.....

Deal with it or don’t...

Damn she was one of the hottest looking women ever in her prime...

I see this shipped for me today from SSC, along with Tarkin. Fingers crossed it's bereft of blue dots.

Although as mentioned, this issue seems to be waning now.

Well...I cancelled mine. Combination of the dot gate mixed with me feeling like the final product's head sculpt just isn't quite there. New Hope one is so perfect to me and this one just seems off enough that it bothers me. I'll wait for Bespin Leia probably. I'd even do Endor Leia if hot toys wises up and does her and Endor Luke as a 2 pack.

The two Leia figures I think would be difficult to choose from if you only wanted one. Both have trade offs.

The sculpt of the ANH figure I feel is stronger, but the dress really holds it back. It's not a bother to me personally to where it's not display worthy, but it is way off. The outfit on this one is better than the ANH one, but the sculpt isn't quite as good as the ANH one.

ANH is more iconic I think, but I like ESB better as a film. So I went with both.

These are the only two Leias I'll stick with though. Will pass on TLJ Leia and the inevitable RotJ Leia.

Got mine from Sideshow today. Can’t see any dots. I’d have to inspect it under harsher lights to be sure but no dots upon first glance.

I did notice the oxygen mask is quite smaller than the sideshow version that came with Bespin Han and a bit smaller than the one that came with Endor Medicom UU Han.

Both the Medicom and Sideshow are less flexible than the Hot Toys. I’m thinking I’ll use the SS for Chewy, Medicom for Han, and HT for Leia.

Thank you, toe.



Nope. Where?

In my original post with the pics. It clearly says HT is quite a bit smaller than the sideshow and is a bit smaller than the UU. By natural deduction you should be able to infer that the SS is the biggest then the UU and finally HT is the smallest. You seemed like an intelligent person so I didn’t think I had to spell it out so literally. [emoji6]

No, no, no -- no natural deduction -- I needed it spelled out please.

And by the way, Jim, that's not really very clear as you so eloquently put it in your previous post. Sorry if I've bothered you for the run down, but you seemed impressed enough to post two pictures, I figured I'd just get caught up correctly with what your point was.

 

[BatBrain]

Great figure! And no dots!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Damn... looks like all the dots went to BBTS...

No problem. Duly noted. My toe and I will try to be more clear next time.

I dunno if I trust eBay in this case due to the staining issue. I’d probably rather go with BBTS or Sideshow this go round.

That's what I feel... but on ebay you usually can see pics of the figure you're getting. At least, I wouldn't bid on a figure I couldn't see opened.

We have 10 days to decide. Well, more like 8 but still.

 

[davejames]

I can't help but think the outfit is looking a little too baggy on her, especially around the waist and hips. Think I might try taking mine in a bit if possible, to make it a little more form-fitting.

This would have been my response as well. There are perks to buying pre-owned on eBay, as you generally get to see the figure you’d be getting before getting it, so you know what to expect.
