Well, it doesn't get more iconic than this.

Kinky.

I think the outfit looks a lot better here than it did before. It still may not hang quite the way everyone would like, and is a bit more idealized and luxurious than what she actually wore in the movie, but I still really love the look of it.

Artists:
- Head Sculpted by So Young, Lee
- Head Painted by JC. Hong
- Head Art Directed by Kojun

That was so weird - I was just looking at the TFA SDCC clips and seeing older Carrie as Leia for the first time, then looked at the pics of this figure and thought "so young!" Then I see the sculpt artist's name!

This looks like a homerun.

This will be an instant PO. I just hope the final production results are not the same as Matrix--ugh what a soft sculpt that turned out to be.

Soft sculpt for a soft character. But Matrix as Dutch in "Predator" was better.

Was Leia's costume that transparent in the movie?

I recall it being more opaque in the movie. But the materials Hot Toys used for the figure seems to be a somewhat more transparent white.

Yeah her arms are a lot more visible here than they ever were in the movie.

I am pretty pleased with this figure. I am thinking a definite buy.

Thinking I need to rethink my collecting strategy with the new HT line. I just don't have the cash to get all of the ones I want. So it looks like it will be core heros from ANH. Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie and Ben. That with my SS R2 and C-3PO I will have to draw the line. Gonna reluctantly cancel my Stormtrooper pre-order. Can't have one trooper without getting Vader and all of the other troopers.

My guess is $219.99, same as the Maria Hill figure.

And for those of you calling it a "doll", I'll refer you to Shorty:

"Hey lady. You call 'em Action Figures!"

If Leia isn't a doll, then I don't know what is.

Show that to anyone not in the hobby and they will say its a doll. Take it on the subway with you and see what looks you get. Go to a construction yard and ask the fellas what you got there. Take it to a party -- no, not you and your friend playing video games, a real party, with girls -- and see what they call it.

I challenge anyone here to take this figure outside into the real world and see what the common person calls it. A doll.

They're *all* dolls.

Don't care if they're dolls or not, personally. But I feel like DX04, for example, is more doll-like than Mark IV which is more action-figure-y.

But for the record I'm fine with dolls, as long as they're cool dolls.

That applies to any of our figures.

To many people, technology is also magic - but that doesn't make it so. That said, I've had a mob of people leave a party at someone else's house and drag me back to my place to look at my dolls.

I think it's all about the way you carry yourself when you have the doll with you. Men with dolls can be cool, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Especially if we travel in groups.

Damn, most of those are just normal, the kind you see every day. Except the second from the left. That's just creepy.

^Those are not cool dolls, Talibane.
