Raiders March
I shouldn't have bought that!
At least free postage is something toward such a huge purchase, right guys?
Yes, please move Jabba to the bottom. I’m getting nervous too.
Hey all i forgot to note down what Phicen bodys best to use for slave leia ? I'd like to hurry up and buy paying off my Jabba this week soooo stoked! Bring on Lando preorder sideshow. Thank's in advance on which body to use again for Leia.
If you have the ACPlay kit, you’ll want a Jiaou Doll “Wheaten” — assuming you can find the original “Wheaten”, as it’s my understanding they lightened the color a bit to be more like the TBL New Suntan. The Jiaou body is slightly shorter, and the color match (in hand) is closer. If you’re good at repainting heads (to match the TBL body), I’d recommend the TBL S25B — it’s shorter than their average body, making it a bit closer to Carrie’s height, and has the mid-size bust — though you may have issues with the ACPlay top (since it’s made for a larger bust).
Here are photos of my Slave Leia on the wheaten Jiaou body I put together a couple years ago. It's model number is JOQ-10C-BS, although I've since obtained a 2nd headsculpt that has a slightly lighter skintone and may be a better match with their KT004 body. Incidentally, I upgraded the outfit on mine with pieces from the Mr. Toys Planet Princess set, which seems to be long sold out.

jabba arrived today and all i have to say is this thing is amazing and i had it next to old jabba wow it makes th eold version look sad,,,,this thing has a prsence and is def a standout piece in the collection, sideshow hit it out of the park with this one...
This is great! What is the 2nd headsculpt you got? I will post pictures of my leia once I get her out of storage. I ended up using a Phicen 17b body that has the less busty look to it too, but I used hard pastel dust to tint the body to match her head. It worked really well. Would love to see the alternate head you have if you have photos.
I'll have to do some digging to find that 2nd headsculpt. I can tell you that it's identical to the first one but its skintone is only a shade lighter, but still not light enough to match Phicen's last several generations of their "suntan" color.
It's a shame that we never got a decent official 1/6 Slave Leia. I'm well aware of its controversy over the years, but it's still an indisputably iconic part of the original trilogy. And with the Mouse in control of the franchise going forward, I'm sure we never will.
Does anyone here have the han in carbonite on concrete by Sideshow alongside the new Jabba throne set? I was wondering if someone can post a pic to see if they are in scale with one another seeing as the old version of jabba is much smaller than the new, also the color of the throne vs the old, does it throw off the concrete block han is attached to, i asj becuase i just got offeredd one at a good deal and im deciding against purchasing this one, or the regular side show han in carbonite that was released in the last few yrs...i figure since I have the new jabba set up this would be a better version of the 2 for diaply purposes. Any help or feedback greatly appreciated

Here they are, with the earlier version on the left. It was hard to get a photo showing the differences in skintones with my old iPad camera, but the newer one is closer to a pink hue. Both seem to match my wheaten Jiaou Doll equally, but I do prefer the first one since it has a slightly more "glamorous" look.

My apologies if this is all going off-topic. If there's enough interest, I can post my whole recipe in the custom section.
