Official 1/6 Leia as Boushh Image Thread

[MaulFan]

I'm surprised no one's started a picture thread yet. Usually as soon as Sideshow sends out notices, someone jumps the gun.

Sorry to anyone who gets let down coming here finding nothing new, but when I saw this quote in another thread, it made me feel like being a wise ***, but everyone who knows my rep on these boards knows that when I get my Boushh I'll redeem my lack of pictures right now with my usual body of work.

[Batty]

Without doubt, you do give us some of the best pics. :rock

And I did laugh when I saw the title of this thread.

[MaulFan]

Thanks Batty, it's funny, I was thinking earlier about some Jabba photoshop stuff I worked on when I first got him and I had pre-planned some Boushh shots and figured I'd just have to wait a month or two more to work on those, glad I wasn't counting on that haha.

Just so we'll have an image in here:

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/mas_assets/jpg/2112_press02-001.jpg

I have to say, I share concerns with some over the production painting of the Leia head, but with there track record, I have no doubts on the Boussh helmet, and given the quality of clothing we've seen from LOTR and Star Wars of late, I'm sure the costume will be stellar.

[pjam]

I think ES and edwint may have a Leia Prod shot here...

And she looks great! Homerun.

originally posted by edwint on medi world. not sure if that's a production pic but i think so.

That looks a lot like the proto! Nice! :chew

That is probably production, the hair is definitely darker and the face is a lot lighter than the proto. The eyes and the paint around them is the most noticable difference.....I like it!

I aqree, the prod paint apps are better than the proto, esp around the eyes, not as dark, eyebrows not as thick.


This could be a first for SSC. :lol

[MaulFan]

If that's what we get, I'll lost my ****. That looks great, and the weathering actually looks as good as weathering buy a customizer. Granted, I know people were upset with Obi-Wan's beard and hair, but in my opinion, once again, a figure that went through a lot of retooling along the way is coming worth the wait.

[The Josh]

I agree it looks awesome! Will be quite pleased to get her. The likeness might be a little off but she appears to be a solid 8.5-9.

[foolkiller]

Looks like the pants took a hit. The ones from the prototype looked great.

[silentman116]

Slight production differences aside, it looks like she was worth the wait!

[Batty]

Woot!

Woah that looks nice!

[orbitingx]

That helmet looks friggin huge. :google

I like the weathered outfit and hs though.

[The Josh]

Very nice!!

[pjam]

She Looks Great, love the paint apps here... hope it is factory, looks like it may have been repainted though, her outfit looks more weathered here.

[MaulFan]

I think that's production outfit even. Judging the photos, there's some heavy contrast and saturation going on so none of the colors are truly representing themselves accurrately and some of the dark areas are far darker than their true tones. An image with this going on would make subtle weather look as dramatic as it does in these photos, when I get my Boushh I'll demonstrate :)

Well, I hope so but I have my doubts, at least the belt wasn't weathered, that may be a clue the outfit wasn't either.

[orbitingx]

I really wish they could of used the detailed pants that were featured in the proto pics as well. :confused:

They would have gone nice with the weathered over shirt.

Imo at least this is back in the right direction from the disaster known as Yavin Luke :lol

[galactiboy]

Looks pretty good, I was really on the fence about ordering this (and the whole Jabba set-up) but now I'm really glad I did! I think she'll look great, and Boushh was always one of the cooler Kenner figures :rock

[Darth Madden]

That helmet looks friggin huge. :google




It does look huge... hopefully its just the photo.

[GabRaz]

Euh, nobody feels like her head's a "little" too big?

[MaulFan]

Euh, nobody feels like her head's a "little" too big?

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j88/pjam07/starwaryx4.jpg

Not THAT big, Carrie's quite short and since most of us haven't seen it in person, there's no telling how small the new female body is, but to me, that picture makes Leia look small as she is.

[Darth Madden]

Euh, nobody feels like her head's a "little" too big?


I think it looks fine but since I'm probably not going to pose her with the "real" head anyway it doesn't really matter to me but I hope the helmet really isn't that big.

[rabidwolverine21]

Look! No head!

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/497/capturedata6792964xd3.png (http://imageshack.us)

what is that is that whats under the helmet?

[Coorectghosting]

yay looks good!

[JustinLuck]

Definitely not digging the fuzzy pants. Andy could have made a more attractive ear. Everything else looks pretty good. I wish the 'adapter' had been made more aesthetic looking (such as a mannequin head, ala Medicom), but I guess that's the best they could do. The details on the helmet look superb.

[John5]

Looks good, looking forward to getting her

John

[Puay]

It will be a worthwhile wait. Love what I see in the new images.

[Shai]

Not bad....:monkey1

[scarab]

Well, she's cool! the pants can certainly be inserted in the boots, so it seems it's going to be a real nice figure, maybe some weathering here and there, but overall, she looks nice to me :D

[JGouse0498]

OK...I'm sold. Definitely going to have to see about ordering one of these when I can get the cash. Too bad Holo Sidious just got charged and Asajj Ventress is coming in about a month...

[bcm77]

The attire seems better than usual and the helmet is nicely detailed but the head still has the SSC trademark vacant expression which makes it look like a homage to Carrie Fisher's past drug problems :lol

[pixletwin]

Frankly I think the paint apps on those pics are factory, not custom (seems obvious to me at least) and as for her head size, I think she is the best proportioned female I have ever seen from Sideshow. Period.

:clap

Can't wait for the Godfather to send me mine! :blissy

[Batty]

Considering the final paint apps and sculpts on Yavin Luke and some of the LOTR figures, there's no reason to nitpick about the size of her head or helmet. They look fine to me.

[Roy Starkiller]

Just received hours ago.

I have spent 30 minutes to find the best pose that well define the attitude of this Boushh figure...

http://chinese-starwars.com/chineseforum/upload_images/leia001.jpg

And a quick shot...

http://chinese-starwars.com/chineseforum/upload_images/leia003.jpg

Besides the "big head" helmet...its worth the wait.

[Cocoboloboy]

Dang Roy, you got yours already!?! That looks awesome! Nice pose too. Definitely a helmet on figure for me.

[BadMoon]

Looks Great!

[pixletwin]

Nice pics Roy. Does the body seem to be a newer Buck?

[Seaward]

I am glad to see that Leia looks nice in person. The ROTJ kenner toys were always a favorite of mine, and now to have them as SS toys is a dream come true. More freaky-deaky aliens from the Cantina and Jabba's palace, and I'll be a happy collector!
Thanks for the pictures!

[pixletwin]

Yeah. My fellow scummers over at RS are having nitpicking fits over the pants. I think they look great.

[The Josh]

I saw that but what do you expect from RS. :lol

[JustinLuck]

If it's true what was mentioned on Rebelscum, about the figure being delayed a year to downgrade the pants and get rid of the cape, I think that is a valid concern.

[Roy Starkiller]

Old bulk?

[pixletwin]

http://chinese-starwars.com/chineseforum/upload_images/leia3.jpg

Is that the Buck fig!!!! Holy crap if it is. They have actually changed the body. :google

Can't wait to see what Wor-Gar has in store for us on this one. :lol

[Roy Starkiller]

I then redress the whole figure-

http://chinese-starwars.com/chineseforum/upload_images/leia4.jpg

The breath tank is in detail!

http://chinese-starwars.com/chineseforum/upload_images/leia5.jpg

Yes! Wor-Gor...can't wait! :lol

[Wor-Gar]

Can't wait to see what Wor-Gar has in store for us on this one. :lol


Yes! Wor-Gor...can't wait! :lol

:D

I aims to please...

If only I could get Asajj and Leia at the same time.

:)

[Darklord Dave]

They said at CIV that Boussh would have some new body mods. It will change even more for Padme.

[TheObsoleteMan]

Man, she really came out boffo! :chew

I can't wait til she's in my Jabba display demanding 50,000, no less.

[JustinLuck]

Here are some movie stills for reference:

The Sideshow body is the same one used for Sarah Conner. It may be the same for more.

[The Josh]

Justin but we don't know why the change in material. If they couldn't get the right material in leather. Wouldn't it be better to take a small step back and go with another making it as close as possible?

Old bulk?

http://chinese-starwars.com/chineseforum/upload_images/leia3.jpg

Just wrong. Just wrong. :lol:monkey5

[pixletwin]

The pants are a nit pik. Pure and simple. I can't believe that, EVEN IN THE FRAKKIN NUDE, the head still looks pretty good (actually in proportion... a first for a Sideshow female). This is what should be garnering most of our attentions and criticisms.


Thank you Sideshow. :clap

[JustinLuck]

I am not allowed to post pictures of nude women, but I can assuredly say the head is way too large unless she was born with hydrocephalus.

But I like focusing on the positive, such as the outstanding sculpted detail on the helmet and backpack.

Off topic, anyone notice how Ford looks slightly fatter in the Star Wars movies and skinnier in the Indy movies even though they were made around the same time period? I just notice how Ford got thin after ESB, 1980 for Raiders in 1981, and then started looking older in ROTJ, 1983, but then looked young again in Temple of Doom, 1984.

Quite an over exaggeration as someone who had a brother afflicted with that terrible disease.

She looks fine. :tap

[JustinLuck]

My apologies Pixle. My comment meant no offense. I just wish Sideshow would at least make female bodies as proportional as the male bodies are. Even the extremely malnourished couldn't have a waist that thin. The rib cage would get in the way, let alone the organs.

[The Josh]

Have you seen Nicole Ritchie lately? :lol

[pixletwin]

Thats OK. I was only kidding. :lol:D

:monkey3:monkey1

[screamingmetal]

http://chinese-starwars.com/chineseforum/upload_images/leia3.jpg

The head is WAAY to BIG. Maybe 20%-30% too large. The rest of the figure looks great, The head sculpt looks great, paint is great, proportions are poor.
I think the size issue will be less noticeable with the helmet head so I'll be displaying her that way until someone casts a shrunken down version.

[The Josh]

The head though looks fine with all her clothes on. Are any of you really gonna display her nude?

[EVILFACE]

The fuzzy pants could be better, but at least she isn't Yavin Leia.

[TheObsoleteMan]

The head though looks fine with all her clothes on. Are any of you really gonna display her nude?

Do we really want to know the answer to that? :monkey4

[pixletwin]

I think she looks fine. Some of you folks are truly the half-empty variety. The head on a nude body looks a lot better than I had anticipated. Even figures as recent as the Sarah Connor look pretty terrible to me.

I will thank Sideshow for putting in the obvious effort to make their female figs more palatable to the human eye.

This is why we won't see a Slave Leia for a very long time.:o She looks great fully clothed however.

[screamingmetal]

No but it makes the proportion issues very obvious in that pic. Even with the clothes on I thought it looked too large. I know Sideshow wants the heads in scale as they say in the new Ask Sideshow segment, but large heads have become far too common with their releases, it's far rarer that they get the head size right.

[The Josh]

Do we really want to know the answer to that? :monkey4

True. Should have thought about that. :monkey5

I think she looks fine. Some of you folks are truly the half-empty variety.

Pix I think you're correct. It really is kind of frustrating really. Reading some of the nit picks on this figure and especially the GTW PF on various boards. It is really mind boggling.

I will thank Sideshow for putting in the obvious effort to make their female figs more palatable to the human eye.

I've got the Pam figure from Friday the 13th but never taken it out of the box. So I don't know really how it will compare to the Pam figure. If it makes it a better figure then I'm all for it.

[The Josh]

I disagree. I don't see a head issue with this figure with the clothes on that is. Or any of the other figures I have from SS with their clothes on. That's just me though. :)

[Smudger9]

I disagree. I don't see a head issue with this figure with the clothes on that is. Or any of the other figures I have from SS with their clothes on. That's just me though. :)

Wow, the body (minus the head) does look awesome. And if they are gonna make more changes for Asajj and Padme we should have a pretty decent female body by then. Now for the male bodies.......

[pixletwin]

They said at CIV that Boussh would have some new body mods. It will change even more for Padme.

Just thought I would quote this again. It made me feel yummy and warm inside. :)

[MaulFan]

Just thought I would quote this again. It made me feel yummy and warm inside. :)

I'd like to make Padme feel all warm and fuzzy inside, giggitty giggitty goo!!!

[galactiboy]

New body looks great... nice to see Sideshow stepping it up. Also the figure looks awesome, and about the big helmet issue. Wasn't that helmet pretty big anyway in the movie?

[jedibear]

http://chinese-starwars.com/chineseforum/upload_images/leia001.jpg



Really like this pose Roy. I'm liking the weathering here too. The pants look fine. A little futzing and she'll look great. One quick question...does the cape have wire to assist posing/positioning?


My Jabba display is ready and waiting!

[Sachiel]

Holy Crap is that a huge head! Did they also make the helmet bigger too? WTF is up with Sideshow and their large Star Wars heads?? :rolleyes:

[pixletwin]

Holy Crap is that a huge head! Did they also make the helmet bigger too? WTF is up with Sideshow and their large Star Wars heads?? :rolleyes:

Its comments like that which make me wonder if they ever looked at the prototype pictures. Are we really seeing anything there, with the head, that wasn't on the proto? If not, why are some of you acting like this is the first time you have seen Leia? :confused:

[MaulFan]

The thing too is, we have no idea what size the body she's on is, we need to see her with an average Sideshow figure. To me, other than stripping her, which makes every figure look retarded no matter who makes it, she looks fine, I think both helmet and Leia head look great on the clothed body, the weathering looks fabulous and the paint apps are stellar, i'm getting really pumped about adding her, and another fabulous addition to the Jabba display, which already looks great and add this in the mix and it just keeps getting better and better.

I agree. Here are some pics from last year's SDCC. I don't remember people complaining back then.

[Coorectghosting]

lol and if people complain before something is out then others will tell them wait until they've got in hand before any judgement.

[leatherneck]

I know this doesn't make any difference, but I had a 1/1 scale replica Boushh helmet at one time. Grant it , it was a fan made helmet, but it was pretty damn accurate and it was also pretty big. I think the helmet looks perfect, but the Leia head is kind of large. I will wait final judgement when I have it in my own hands.

[captain sack]

Is that the Buck fig!!!! Holy crap if it is. They have actually changed the body.

what changes have been made? it looks very similar to the body used in 2004 for slave nova. except for a smaller, nipple-less bust, i see no changes.

[JustinLuck]

I agree, the helmet is good proportioned. But the head, even if it had soft hair, could not fit in a helmet that size.

I know you guys might disagree, but I don't see myself as a 'glass is half empty' guy. I enjoy these figures as much as any Sideshow Freak. I talk about the flaws to let Sideshow know what I wish can be improved upon in the future, but I don't dwell on them. If something really bothers me, I either won't purchase the item or I will fix it myself.

For instance, I no longer complain about paint jobs or bodies. I could even make new clothes if I really wanted to. Now, creating shrunken casts is out of my league, but that's what we have Darren for. *Hint, hint* You'll figure that out for us, right Darren? ;)

[Prime Clone]

Well, she's looking mighty fine! Hope this, and Asajj and Holo Sidious, silence the Sideshow knockers who were out in Force for Yavin Luke (which I STILL don't think was that bad).

[PosterBoyKelly]

Best figure SS has put out since Maul IMO, cool!

[MaulFan]

Best figure SS has put out since Maul IMO, cool!

Well that's an interesting point for sure.

Darth Maul
Bib Fortuna
Salacious Crumb
Jabba the Hutt
Endor Troops
Yavin Luke
Leia Boushh

Now, that's going by figures that are out and in hands. In my opinion, Jabba is hands down the best thing since Maul, yet not a true "figure", and there have only been a small handful of figures since Maul. Bib, while minimal in appearance, was a very well made piece, equal to Boushh. Luke was, well we won't open that, and the Troops were well made but not the most popular character choice.

Regardless of measuring Boushh against the others, it looks fantastic, and in my opinion, is equal to or in areas, better than the proto.

[Memnoch]

Where oh where can my .. NOTICE be. Sideshows playing keep away.:lol I really can't wait to have Leia not only because its an awesome figure but it can be posed all crazy.

[Cocoboloboy]

Yep, I only wish all of SSC production pieces were as close to the proto as Boushh looks to be. Although I've only really been disappointed in a few proto to production pieces in the SW line.

[Vader AL]

i want my notice too....oh well at least i'll have the holo-emperor and The Dead to tide me over till she arrives.

[PosterBoyKelly]

Well that's an interesting point for sure.

Darth Maul
Bib Fortuna
Salacious Crumb
Jabba the Hutt

Alright, got me on Jabba. Excluding him though, best since Maul, just my opinion though.

[trebor]

I'm still waiting for my notice. Hopefully on Monday! :D

[MaulFan]

Alright, got me on Jabba. Excluding him though, best since Maul, just my opinion though.

Well I'll agree, I was mainly actually trying to point out that it's also a slim list of what we've got since Maul and is truly a figure, know what I mean, Salacious and Jabba are really creatures with no articulation, so that leaves Bib, the troops and Yavin Luke.

Oh, I get ya! OK, let me restate TOTALLY. Best SS 12" Star Wars toy along with Darth Maul, ROTS Obi and Jedi Luke. Those are the only 4 I think are really kicking (that have been released AND not counting Jabba.)

I'm in aggreement there. I love the whole line, but those 3 and Boushh really pack a wow factor with me, and of what's to come, Old Ben Kenobi promises to be fabulous.

[jedibear]

All right!

No notice, but my status has changed to "Item Shipping Soon"

Progress! Can't wait for this one....

[The Josh]

Mine still says processing.

Actually Bib ain't that bad of a figure either and Plo is quite solid as well.

[MaulFan]

All right!

No notice, but my status has changed to "Item Shipping Soon"

Same here, and same for my Sidious Holo, so if they both Ship monday, which would be sweet to get them both in one day, then I'd expect them by Friday the 20th. Good luck to ya JB, my fellow northeast freak!

[MaulFan]

Mine still says processing.

Actually Bib ain't that bad of a figure either and Plo is quite solid as well.

Well made ya, I guess it's the lack of development/involvement of the characters, where Obi-Wan and Luke really run with me, and Maul caught me the minute I saw the character, and Boushh has ties to old Kenner for me, plus a love of Jabba's palace and the design of the suit. Plo and Bib would be on second tier of impressive figures with me.

[The Josh]

I agree as far as what's behind the characters. I meant more as how the figures came out.

Maul is the best IMO but I'm biased on that. :)

[MaulFan]

Maul is the best IMO but I'm biased on that. :)

What do you think I am? haha

Basically, I rank the pieces as amazing, impressive, and Well Made, well made meaning it's a nicely made piece, but it's not the best it could be.

AMAZING
Darth Maul
ROTS Obi-Wan
Jedi Luke
Leia as Boushh
Jabba the Hutt
Salacious Creature Pack
Darth Sidious and Mechno Chair

IMPRESSIVE
Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader
Mace Windu
Qui-Gon Jinn
Endor Troops
Plo Koon
Kit Fisto
Bib Fortuna

WELL MADE
Bespin Han Solo
Yavin Luke Skywalker

[galactiboy]

I think for all the complaining the SS Star Wars line has been very solid and produced a lot of kickass figures. And this one seems like a great example of what SS can do when they fire on all cylinders :rock

[The Josh]

What do you think I am? haha

That's true. :lol

There's a lot of good stuff about Anakin, but the lips and means of his arm connecting drop it a bit for me, mainly the arm, between the unposable gloved wrist and the pin not staying in well without excessive gentle handling makes leaves a bit of "if only.." in me.

[The Josh]

I would agree on the lips. The arm mine is tight as a drum but I do know some did have issues with it.

[jedibear]

Like your list and category names...the only things I'd change if I listed 'em is dropping Jedi Luke and Sid/Holochair down to "Impressive" and bumping "Sith Apprentice Darth Vader" up to "Amazing".

Jedi Luke does have the novelty of being first out of the gate, but that slightly dazed expression limits the angles in which he displays well (IMHO) and the Sid/Holo piece is interesting, but like the forthcoming chess table, it's more of an impressive set piece than a figure.

The Sith Apprentice Vader gets a bump up from me because I found it to be such an improvement over the initial Anakin release. The arm was better, the paint app was better and I really appreciate the great detail of the jedi outfit, the gear and the robotic arm. Add to that the really cool stand and he sails to "Amazing" for me....

It's all a matter of taste of course...:)
And judging from the advance pics we're seeing, Leia/Boussh is going to take her rightful place in the "Amazing" category....

[darthviper107]

Mine still says Order Placed. But I haven't gotten any notices and it was a phone order.

Well, I consider Holo Sidious like the Salacious pack and Jabba, while not "action" figures, they are beautifully crafted and executed representations of the film material, whereas I would consider the chess table to be like Jabba's throne, just a much smaller environmental piece, same with the probes, they're more an environmental addition than a standalone item.

I thought this was 1/6, but now they've turned it into a bobble head?

[Matt S]

This has been my most anticipated 1:6 scaler yet, and she looks great, overall.

[Roy Starkiller]

Last night, I examinated the movie of ROTJ and dress the whole figure up again for movie accuracy.

The real deal...

http://www.princessleiaorgana.com/MOMboushhSM.jpg

[nash]

is she able to hold the helmet?

[MaulFan]

Can someone who has her already take a picture of her with another figure so we can get an idea of scale?

[Roy Starkiller]

Yes Nash...but seemly the figure say "Oh dear! Its big!" :monkey4

http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/9572/leia4ok2.jpg

[MaulFan]

I don't think it's so much the size of the helmet throwing off the holding pose, as it is that the film helmet, it was leather or something for the tan part, so it could cave in when held and only the top part was really solid, where the figure is all solid so it doesn't behave like it should to be held.

[JustinLuck]

Can't wait to see yours, Maulfan


The real deal...

http://www.princessleiaorgana.com/MOMboushhSM.jpg

If that is the real costume, then Sideshow made both the head and helmet too big. I thought the use of an adapter would keep the helmet size proportional, but I guess not this time. It's still a good looking figure.

[Roy Starkiller]

Another picture of the real deal...

http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/f/f6/Boushee.jpg

[JustinLuck]

I don't know why, but the helmet design always reminded me of an antelope or some type of deer. Always had a strange attraction to it. LOL

My pleasure pixeltwin.

Well...both of U might not need to do this since 4 out of 9 of my Chinese Taiwan moderators and also collectors of SS 12" whom came to my house 2 days ago share with your same opinion.

What I response to solve the conflict is :"C'mon...its just a toy of action figure...don't ruin the fun or waste any time to play and pose with it by spending your concern on different view of opinions between collectors."

A typical voice of a community host? Ha Ha? :D

Better head to office...

[shocktrooper_au]

Great figure.. shame they missed the detail on the luftwaffe belt - that's if they didn't grind it off the original. did they paint the 1138 detail on the helmet

[Sachiel]

Her head is enormous but I thought the helmet was atleast in proportion. It did on the prototype, but I can't tell from these pictures. Wasn't the proto on the normal body? This is the short body isn't it? Too bad.
Why can they get head proportions right for their LotR line and some of their other lines, but not Star Wars? Making it so it doesn't look so small in robes is BS. I don't think people's heads are supposed to grow 2x the size when wearing multiple layers. Sideshow is the only one I've seen who does this. It looks like Leia could topple over any second in those pictures with that huge melon on her shoulders.
Funny how Hasbro did this, too. :rotfl

[pixletwin]

... and the River of Hyperbole continues its endless flow into the Ocean of Whineeness... :lol

[MaulFan]

I'm really eager to see this next to another figure, especially Han, to see how close to Carrie Fisher short it is, should be like a 10-10.5 inch tall figure to be about in scale with Carrie to the other figures.

[The Josh]

Thanks Roy. I still don't get why everyone is so upset about the head/helmet. They both look finely proportioned to me. Perhaps I need to get my eyes/brain checked?

I'm with ya Pix. Looks good 2 me but then again I had someone say if I (or others) thought the GTW PF looked like him I needed my eyes checked. So I figure it's just par 4 the course.

[Puay]

I'm in aggreement there. I love the whole line, but those 3 and Boushh really pack a wow factor with me, and of what's to come, Old Ben Kenobi promises to be fabulous.

I totally agree with you guys. Not to forget Plo Koon, I thought that is pretty perfect too.

[the angry orc]

this is a very nice looking figure and a great rebound after yavin luke and faramir imo. naked her head appears big but all the ss figure's heads look big nekkid. i'm excited about boushh. she looks good.

[Boba Fett]

I'm actually satisfied with the figure, completely. I think the head and helmet are fine as is.

Look forward to getting this in my greedy little hands.

[Xander]

She looks good I think. That newer body gives me high hopes for Ventress. She defintely seems to need some futzing, but that's really a big deal. I loved the disguise when I was a kid and it's really nice to finally get another OT character. Obi-Wan gets a little bit closer now!

I just got a FedEx shipping notice from an "Earl Negrete" whom I believe works at Sideshow... which means Leia is on her way! With any luck I'll have her Princessesness in my hands by this time tomorrow and I can take pictures with my hideous flash camera!

- J

[The Josh]

She won't be coming Fed Ex. She isn't over $100 bucks.

Mine has shipped and is due on Friday

[jedibear]

Alright Josh!

Better get that doliy cleaned and pressed...she is a princess after all. :lol

[MaulFan]

Fingers Crossed - if I get a notice tonight, she should be here Friday, Jabba needs to be propositioned already, he's been sitting on his throne too long acting high and mighty, needs a little Boushh to put him in his place :)

[The Josh]

Alright Josh!

Better get that doliy cleaned and pressed...she is a princess after all. :lol

Yeah, I'll have to make sure I run home when she arrives. Since I'm not at my house.

[galactiboy]

Just got my notice for Leia... scheduled to be hear on the 19th.

Fingers crossed :chew

[MicroJow]

She won't be coming Fed Ex. She isn't over $100 bucks.

Then I guess the fact the FedEx shipping notice has the same order number as Leia is a coincidence. Silly me. :monkey5

I still maintain she will be here tomorrow. Sideshow's warehouse is about 4 towns over from me. Maybe they ship FedEx within a certain distance even if it's under $100.

WTF I got this right when it went up and it just shows Order Placed, not even shipping soon?

[kain4521]

WTF I got this right when it went up and it just shows Order Placed, not even shipping soon?

Same here.

[darthviper107]

Weird. I just got a notice that it has shipped, I should get it on Thursday. But what's odd is that the charge is still pending and it still says order placed in my Sideshow account. Plus--my Holo Sidious has shipped (for wednesday) but the charge for that has disappeared from my bank account, plus it just says Item Shipping Soon on my Sideshow account.

Very weird.

[nash]

Im pretty impressed with Plo Koon, just got him today. I especially love that SS made his boots nice and soft instead of using that hard plastic that they used for most of the other ones.

Is leia's boots well made also?

[Vader AL]

the charge is a pre-charge or whatever it's called...it'll show back up in your bank account.

[The Chaver]

Yeah,the way they charge your account is ****ing retarded.I've never understood it.

[darthviper107]

yeah, I think that happend with Mace Windu, but when I saw the Holo Sidious pre-charge was early last week some time and the final charge isn't in there.

[Darth Cruel]

Sideshow calls it a pre-authorization. Although I have never asked...I have always presumed it to be them verifying ahead of time that the funds are in the bank. It is sort of a reservation of the funds. I have had other companies do that as well, but I don't remember which ones. Just one or two others in a long line of companies I have dealt with.

My bank will pay out the money and charge me an extra 30.00 if I do not have the funds in my account. I have recently started to wonder if that is not some way of making sure that does not happen.

But that is theory on my part.

Edit - I have actually had it happen that the withdrawl from my account came a few hours after I recieved the figure.

[jedibear]

Came home from work to find 2 quantum notices for Leia and the chair...both arriving Monday 23rd...can't wait!

Looking forward to seeing LOTS of pics from you folks gettin' em later this week!

[Darthrazz]

Yeah, I don't expect him this year. I wouldn't be shocked beyond all shockiness if he did show up but next year makes more sense 2 my pea brain.

Well, being that I finally decided to make my own Vader and spent quite a few bucks tracking down a Screamin' kit , Terminator body and so many other parts and all the time and money that I have invested into this project, it only makes sense that a Vader will be announced this year! :lol Not that I would be too upset mind you....

Boushh is a great figure. Well worth the long wait. I'm liking the blaster alot more then I thought I would, but I probably wont pose her with it. My only real complaint is the backpack. It goes onto a very short peg and wont stay on very well at all. May have to use some glue. Other then that I can't wait to add her to the Jabba setup.

PS- No holster for the pistol.

Way to go harp, these pics are great, no head/helmet disproportion I can see, In fact that is the first pic that shows the helmet pretty much in proportion... and the pants issue looks futzable... :D

Looks like, altogether, this Leia will blow the Princess fig away...

She came out very nice from what I can see in the pics. The weathering looks to be very realistic and will give it that added boost when on display.

[Darth Cruel]

I just opened her as well. As harp's pics show...the scale of head and helmet are non-issues...dudes...this may be as good a Star Wars 12" figure as Sideshow has done yet.I will add to the pics shortly.

Honestly, there wasn't too much of a Chicken Little situation with this figure. Yeah, a few comments here and there about bobblehead syndrome, which I'm starting to think is either minimal or was a distortion of the camera lens.

I really may have to pick this one up after all. It's going to be a busy month with Sidious and Ventress in the mix as well.

[The Josh]

I was just being a smart ***. :o

[Darth Cruel]

As a lover of accessories...this figure is as good as any. Lots of weapons (3), an opening pouch on her belt, 6 cannisters that are removeable from her belt, 5 cylinders that are removeable from her shoulder strap, her helmet and her back pack. And speaking of the back pack...it does go on very well...but should not be removed once it is put on. It will go on nicely, but there is a slight hump in the peg it needs to be slid over. I was concerned about breaking the plate on the back pack but I twisted it slowly while adding VERY LTTLE pressure and it went over the hump and stays very well.

3 preliminary shots:

Oh, yeah, I knew that. Still, I thought I'd point out how little commotion there was, which truly was a shock for me...especially for all the delays in this figure. It was a pleasant change of pace. :)

[Darth Cruel]

Oh...in the second pic, I had to adlib Ephant Mon until Sideshow gets their's done.

Edit - Man! I am totally cool with this figure! Leia Boushh has completely brought my faith back around from the Faramir face paint disaster.

Edit2 - This macro shows the imperfecions of the paint app...but to look at it normally, they are not noticeable. She looks great!

Edit3 - I am not sure if anyone knows this, but the big plug that is used with Leia's Helmet gets removed to put her head on.

- J

[Darth Cruel]

I also like the reference to THX1138 on her helmet.

[MicroJow]

I was going to post more pictures, but the boss just walked in and he probably wants me to work instead of posing and snapping portraits of my new dollie ;)

But I will say this: the only Sideshow Star Wars 1/6th scale figure I own which has a better paint job than this one is my Episode III Obi Wan. And before I lose what little credibility I have, let me mention that my Episode III Obi Wan was repainted by Customikey!

Would I have liked to receive this figure sooner than I did? Absolutely. But if it took this long to make it this perfect, then so be it!

Getting this figure now only makes me more excited to see what Sideshow's got for us at Comic Con this year. They just raised their own bar and the next figure I get is gonna have a LOT to live up to!

IMO, the Episode III Obi-Wan paint job is pretty dang good. Not quite movie accurate, but it looks good enough on its own. And I have to say Leia Boushh's paint deco is looking just as amazing. It looks so much like Carrie Fisher that it's scary. Just as cool as GG's Slave Leia.

This figure is truley stunning in person, maybe the best yet. Before she arrived I thought I knew for sure how I was going to display her, but now I can't decide which head to use. They both came out great.

This is the plug that is inside the helmet.

Wow these pictures look amazing, and as we all know the figures look even better in person. SS cant get this across the pond to me soon enough. Looks like a major home run.
The head and helmet sizes look pretty much in proportion so thats my main concern answered. My other was the material for the pants, which still doesnt look as good as the proto, but those who have it dont seem to think its an issue so thats good enough for me. If the pants are the only gripe with this figure I'm more than happy.
For those who have it in person, are the armour peices and helmet well made...... does it look like SS could very soon crank out a Boba or Vader??
Looks like SS is back on the money....... cant wait to see what they have up their sleeves at SDCC.

Here is a shot of the helmet, plug, and head the plug and head have the same sculpted hole for the peg in the neck.

And I also want to say...the articulation on this figure works a lot better than that of the other figures. I am stripping her tonight to see what the difference besides the neck post is.

Thanks for all the cool pics guys, and thanks for the fuzzy bear in the bee suit that is standing in for Ephant Mon, I was confused as to what he was doing there!:lol

I only hope that we get to see the Wookie that she was hauling in during this scene soon too! :chew

[pixletwin]

Thanks Cruel and DH. That was exactly what I was wondering was what was beneath the peg... Interesting. How snug do they fit on to the neck peg?

[MaulFan]

Does the neck joint actually have articulation? One thing I dislike about Sarah Connor, and what seems to be most of the female figures in the past, is female heads only have a rotating neck joint, not a ball joint type articulation, but the separated image looks to have a range of movement worked in.

[Darth Cruel]

Thanks Cruel and DH. That was exactly what I was wondering was what was beneath the peg... Interesting. How snug do they fit on to the neck peg?

I will pic this in a minute...but the peg slips into the helmet and then into a ring molded inside the helmet. The big grove you see in the plug is one of 2 that are different sized so that we plug it in correctly. Very snug to keep it displayed correctly on the figure...Sideshow did good...real real good.

I little tutorial:

The inner ring you see protrudes more than the rest of the...ummm...whatayacallit. The plug slips over that ring and it acts in conjunction with the double tab in the back and the single tab in the front to giude the plug in to place. The outer ring goes on the outside of the plug and the whole thing works very well to hold the head on. The evenly spaced tabs between the 2 rings are recessed and have no purpose for our purpose except to stop the plug from going in too far. very nicely done.

Judging from these photos it looks like her head is still a tad too big. The helmet head anyway. That probably won't stop me from getting her.

[Darth Cruel]

I can't decide which head I want to display the figure with.

Pose it with Leia. It's too nice of a portrait to keep hidden. Plus, you get it both ways with this approach because she can always be carrying the helmet.

You darn well got that right! Thanks for the advice.

[pixletwin]

I am going to display the helmet on one of the SSW helm stands.

As mentioned earlier this may be a first for SSC, that is, the prod paint apps look better than the proto. Let's hope this is a sign of things to come but I wouldn't hold your breath... :D

[dekadentdave]

She looks like she needs to be Lesterized.

[TOE]

...post her with the helmet on and holding her head.

Forget it..dharper has already done it.



anyone want to put her head on Jedi Luke. It'll be nice to see a cute Jedi.

dharper already covered that. Post #188 on this thread. Looks cool!

[TOE]

Just went through to see some pics and ...I have to agree that the paint app. on this is really good. Good job SS and the painters overseas. :clap

[Wor-Gar]

Yes, let's keep this "Leia" factory for all paint apps from now on. Get rid of that "Faramir" factory.

:D

Will there be a Wor-Gar Leia Picture show tonight?

Oh please say yes. :lol

[jedibear]

Thanks for the pictures and comments folks....wow, it's looking like this one is definitely out-of-the-park! Great sculpt with superb paint apps, good accessories, a well-tailored and weathered outfit and good functioning interchangable portraits. Very nice.

[TOE]

you guys talk too freak'n much.

Less yibbi-yabba and more pics please :D

[Wor-Gar]

Will there be a Wor-Gar Leia Picture show tonight?

I wish. I haven't even gotten my Quantum notice for her yet. Strange, I'm usually among the first.

[jedibear]

That is odd...I'm always looking forward to shots from you & Tom right out of the gate...

[Memnoch]

Mines still at order placed. :-( Not happy about that.

[Scarlet]

Anyone got this, can ya take pics next to a VOTC fett or something. I want to see how this baby look next to fett.

Hoping to get a bargain on ebay soon.:cool::chew

[pixletwin]

Mines still at order placed. :-( Not happy about that.

Sometimes we must all wait for when its our turn. :monkey3

[Wor-Gar]

No, Friday's Quantum alert was for Sidious.

I have no notice or Quantum for Leia.

[JGouse0498]

Yeah, I bit the bullet and ordered her. After a lengthy real-time back and forth e-mail discussion with Corner Store Comics, I ordered her for $51 plus shipping. They expect to have her by week's end, and I went with USPS Priority.

So I should have her by middle of next week. Can't wait to review her!!

Then Holographic Sidious.

Then Asajj Ventress Exclusive...

God bless her, my wife hasn't killed me...especially since next week is her birthday and I'm buying all this stuff!!!

But she finally got her FamilyShare cell phone plan (sounds small but it's a big deal for her), and we're going out for a nice dinner at Red Lobster.

[Memnoch]

Sometimes we must all wait for when its our turn. :monkey3

No... nooo. I waited for Jabba, and I didnt even do a tracking thread this time.

[JGouse0498]

No... nooo. I waited for Jabba, and I didnt even do a tracking thread this time.

Wouldn't that be a kicker if I got mine from Corner Store Comics before yours arrived from Sideshow...seeing as how we're in the same 5 mile radius from each other???

:mwaha:mwaha:mwaha:mwaha:mwaha

[Batty]

I just got my Quantum notice. :chew

I still need to wait another week for her to arrive, but I've already waited a year...another week won't kill me.

[Wor-Gar]

Mines still at order placed. :-( Not happy about that.

Yousa in big doo-doo this time.
:D

Did you notice the reason why I edited my responce to Memnoch21 WG? :lol
