Any suggestions for straightening out the wrinkles on the stock HT dress?

Easy. Leia just has to do the wet-t-shirt contest treatment. I suggest posing the figure and using a spray bottle of water. Shape the dress while wet, let air dry.

Hm, I wonder how the final release of those bootlegs will look like. Where are those KO princess available?

I ordered one and it shipped yesterday. I guess I'll find out how It looks in about a week. I’ll be sure to post pics.

Not gonna lie - I'm pretty curious about this myself. What's the verdict, dharper?

Wouldn't it smell if you leave water on fabric overtime?

It dries. You aren't leaving it wet. You are wetting it and letting it dry. Much the same as you'd do with your own clothing on a washing line.

am I the only one that gets a bit bummed when they see some of these awesome custom longer dresses? Makes me feel bit cheated with my stock HT Leia dress.

Ahoy!

I just received the tactical screen from Rustyj. What a great compliment to an amazing piece!

Looks outstanding. The dress and the back drop together. Huge upgrade.

HT thought they'd deliver a home run, then they realised it was Star Wars but it was too late too **** up the head sculpt.

I guess it's not going to be out until january. The shipping info I got was just generic info, not actual shipping.

Jeez - even ebay bootleg knock-offs have long PO windows these days.

That tactical screen really adds to the display.

Awesome pic Ahab [emoji122] That would add so much to an ANH display.

Just wanted to post a pic in here as well:

yeah I posted a couple of photos of the custom dress I got for leia on here a few pages back. so I will show them off again. it looks great compared to the original stock dress.

 

[IndyMOS]

Nice! I see you and Dave did custom dresses. Very nice work.

 

[Drawbak]

Hey, on the dress it comes with (which I am disliking more all the time, just as so many predicted, sigh) ---
it's got these two clear plastic straps underneath like garter belts, but I guess to pull the puffy dress down?

Is that what they're for? Because they are not doing anything except making it impossible to remove the dress without breaking them.

I like your pics of my favorite costume for Princess Leia.

 

[IndyMOS]

Thank you JB24! I would definitely consider this the most iconic outfit for Leia. Really looking forward to the ESB Hoth Version as well.
