View Full Version : Sideshow please do not "sex up" Slave Leia
This probably applies to when creating the assumed Premium Format figure as I'm sure the 1/6 will by nature be more neutral. I'm sure there are many that will want the figure to be as "sexy" as possible but please keep in mind that even among hardcore collectors there are those of us with wives and kids who don't want figures designed solely for, well, you know the type. ;)
Koto's Leia with her "come hither" pose is just an embarrassment to what Leia represented in the films. That was a sculpt better suited to those Dead or Alive video game characters than Star Wars.
Most people just automatically find the character and outfit sexy without anything "extra" added to figurine likenesses.
Hasbro oversexed the Unleashed Padme, and it appears that Koto is taking the same approach with Leia.
I hope Sideshow keeps it classy.

I tend to agree. Leia was forced into that getup, and was trapped in what must have been a horrific and disgusting situation, all things considered. I doubt that she felt very sexy in that outfit, being licked by Jabba's disgusting slobbery tongue. We may think of her as sexy, but in context it wouldn't be appropriate for her to have anything resembling a seductive mood about her.

Well, hmm....
:welcome to the board first of all.
But I think the Koto image is taken directly from a pose she had in the film. I'd expect SSC will do something similar.
Screen grabbers at the ready...?

Thanks. :chew (sorry, but I've been lurking on these boards too long to NOT bust out the dancing Chewie at the earliest possible opportunity)
But I think the Koto image is taken directly from a pose she had in the film. I'd expect SSC will do something similar.
A pose from the film would be all well and good, but I don't recall ever seeing Koto's pose in the movie. I forgot to add the upcoming Gentle Giant animated-style maquette to the list of Leia sculpts that seem to be going out of their way for extra "va va voom" if you know what I'm saying.
I think it would just be cool if Sideshow said, you know what, we're not selling our figures that way. We're going to do it classy and sell them based on having the best flipping sculpt on the market.
*shrugs* That's my hope anyway.
EDIT: The pose in the two previous pics posted would be PERFECT. Simple and iconic.
tomandshell
05-22-2006, 09:03 PM
I think that the animated maquettes are meant to be stylized, so that would be a fine opportunity for a "va va va voom" Slave Leia. The PFs are meant to capture iconic images or moments from the film, which is why the previous picture would be great for a PF. (Of course, if the Gentle Giant animated Slave Leia maquette is "presenting," then my wife won't let me get it, so they had better keep it at least PG-13...)

I know SSC will do us proud and release something which is both classy and iconic.

I think Sideshow should still work on making their female figures more womanly with better curves and more natural looking breasts that flow downward a bit and not like two halves of cantelope.

I don't think I even want a Slave Leia, I have a wife! :lol I would only get it if I knew for sure Jabba was a possibility, which I can't imagine in the 1/4 scale.
Seriously, I much prefer her in the ANH get up (ship her already! :google ). :monkey3

My wife was excited when she found the Unleashed version for me. Then again, she's always excited when she finds something I'm looking for.
i don't know if SS can do anything about not to "sex" up Leia. I mean, if that is the outfit she wore for the film that will be the outfit SS will have to put her on. If you mean not to pose her in a sexual way, then I totally agree with you on that. Then again, all the poses she did in the film were pretty resque. This will be tricky. :emperor
I believe Slave Leia is pretty "sexed up" to begin with. I mean come on. Gold bikini: sexy. Chains, make-up, that hair: sexy. Playing submissive to Jabba: sexy. Did you mean, "please 'sex down' Slave Leia"?
If a company that excells at severed heads and hand stumps shies up on the sex issue, well that would smack of censorship and that's just unAmerican and plain old wrong. Just because these things are made in China doesn't mean we have to live in a world where we have to watch what we display, play with, collect.

Just to a regular pose, or a movie scene pose. She doesn't need to spread eagle on the floor or anything. As long as they keep up the great work that they've done with the other PF's, I don't think you have anything to worry about.

That picture with her standing is actually quite nice, I doubt that sideshow would do something messed up with the figure.
You know, the lego stuff is kinda strange--slave leia, detailed as a childs toy?
And isn't it odd how the best-selling line of Lego is entirely based on violence?
I'm pretty sure SS will not have her pose like that of Koto because I don't think SS is all about that. I can't recall seeing any of their figures being "sex up". If they do, it will be the first. :chew

Yes, ESB Hoth Leia would be my favorite.
Exactly! But I'd rather have ESB Hoth Leia as a 12" figure. I think the Slave Leia is pretty much predestined to be a PF. It would do credit to Carrie Fisher. A 12" Slave Leia, with al the joints showing would not IMO...
A little off-topic, but still about Leia: anybody having second thoughts about the PF ANH Leia? When it first came out, I was fascinated by the iconic flair, like: "that's Leia!". And even though I find the pose very sexy and seductive, it's mainly just a looooong white dress, holding a big bad blaster...
Hmmm... you know Justin, I might change my mind after all. Perhaps an ESB Leia PF wouldn't be a bad idea...

I think, when people think about Slave Leia, they think about a sexed up Carrie Fisher. At least that's what comes to my mind. As much as this might not be suitable for a family oriented home, an avid SW would expect a super sexy Slave Leia from SS.
