Hot Toys Princess Leia and Wicket Collectible Figures Set

[Wor-Gar]

Wrist joints look far worse than elbows.

Scientific studies have shown that, after the eyes, people's attention are drawn to the wrists. Its science fact.

But what about the wrist joints? seems like if the elbow joints are a problem for the look of the figure then those would be too.

Visible elbow joints can be prevented with seamless arms, wrist joints are impossible to negate with interchangable hands.

Just give her 2 watches

or a bandage.

She got a wound after being shot, after all.

Or put gloves on everyone.

Costume designers should always design their characters with either long sleeves or long gloves just for the sake of 1/6 collectors

But what about the wrist joints? seems like if the elbow joints are a problem for the look of the figure then those would be too.

Seamless arms tend to have a slightly elongated rubber sleeve that completely covers the plastic joint. The only problem I've found is getting the plastic hand color to match the rubber skin color - there seem to be dozens of slightly different skin shades in female 1/6. I managed to match my Leia hands pretty well, but usually it's a pain.

That and limited range of motion, cracking over time, etc. Won't work great with posing if you want over more than 90 degree elbow bend.

I decided to pass on seamless arms for now but then again, it looks SO much better with them.

I'll probably just go full poncho, no helmet.

Everybody knows you never go full poncho.

I've been thinking about picking up the standalone Wicket for a while. I had a gift card code for Popcultcha I hadn't used yet so I decided to use it on Wicket and ordered him tonight. I'll display him behind my SS Scout Trooper, maybe with his head tilted slightly, so he looks inquisitive.

Don't watch them. SOOO many classic OT props destroyed in the service of two TV movies in some ways worse than the SW Holiday Special.

Has to be some kind of law against that sort of thing right?

Got single pack Wicket in today. No paint aps on the teeth and nose---really piss poor QC by HT. But I like him over-all. I will lighten up the head-dress, smock and paint teeth and nose.

The damage to the OG props is sad--but not as sad as the crappy dialogue (the acting by the children was typical of child-actors--the acting of the parents was a joke)...the show was just as bad as I remember as a 15 year old

Ewoks specials did to Star Wars in the 80's what the ST nearly did today -- nearly drive its popularity into extinction.

...and I watched the 2nd Ewok live action movie last night (first time ever) ... slightly better than the first...but what was Lucas thinking...

If anyones still looking for this set, The Nile on eBay have it for a ridiculous price, $431AUD, and if you're lucky theirs a discount which takes it to $366AUD.
Of course they dropped the price of this set right after I paid almost full price for the single Endor Leia fig...
