Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS298 - Star Wars: Episode IV - Leia Organa Collectible Figure
The ankle peg on Leia is different than I have ever seen on a 1/6 figure (granted I only have Star Wars). It's actually fixed in her body/leg with the ball on the bottom that goes in the boot, so you can't put in shorter pegs. Basically I chopped off the factory peg at the ankle, put my smallest pegs in the boot, and rounded out the inside bottom of the ankle so it's contoured to at least rest on the ball of the foot peg. The boots are actually snug enough to kind of hold everything together. She can still stand on her own, but I sacrificed fixed articulation. I'll never pose her in an extreme position anyway and I use my stands, so to me, that drastic mod was worth it. I think she's about 10 and 3/16 now.
