12" ANH Leia

[Memnoch]

Those shots are MOST flattering. Only issue I see is the hanging of the dress which some creativity will overcome.

I feel better about her after seeing the official prod pics.

 

[Memnoch]

Who has Leia and a figure on the Big Boy body? Im curious of the hight difference.

This is a first, we're all relieved by production images and scared by in hand .

I've got T-800, I'll shoot her with it Monday if no one else does before then.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Well now I feel her face is more in proportion thanks to Sideshow's photos.

Yeah, I thought the head looked more proportionate in the Sideshow pics too.

Thanks Sean! :chew Im thinking we will get about a head more on the Big Boy compared to Leia.

 

[Captain Faramir]

See, for me, that looks fantastic! Now I'm stoked to get this one!

he he no kidding.

I dont know why people are mad
SS has never released a figure that lives up the the prototype
I ordered Leia but I lowered my hopes long ago
Im only getting it because I didnt get Baloosh (spelling) and I figured they couldnt hack up this leia much (they came close)
considering how Star Wars fans are I wouldnt expect a change from them
unfortunately we will buy almost anything including a crappy figure
I like the blaster though

Recognition of the sculptor is unconventionally missing from the product page.

I agree that the production photo does look better than what we've seen prior.

 

[Captain Faramir]

Wow, her box is only the size of a creature pack? I had no idea, though it makes sense. Not quite as grandiose as the other figures though, which makes the price a bit sad, but I'm not concerned about it.

BTW, am I the only one who had no concept of a 'folding stock' before this? I mean, I've read the visual dictionaries religiously, and had no clue what that meant. It's so cool! They should have used it at some point in the movie!

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

Recognition of the sculptor is unconventionally missing from the product page.

Maybe it's because Andy's not with them anymore.

 

[JustinLuck]

If he sculpted the piece, I don't see why Sideshow would not still give him credit.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

If he sculpted the piece, I don't see why Sideshow would not still give him credit.

I agree. Sideshow's been kinda weird about that lately anyway.

 

[galactiboy]

I think Sideshow has stopped listing the sculptors on 1/6 stuff altogether... at least I remember hearing that awhile back.

The SSC shots really do look good, which is very strange. If they have good pictures I really don't know what to expect from the figure Although one issue I've noticed in all pictures is the difference in color between her hands and face, why didn't they color match like they usually do?

 

[MaulFan]

Sideshow's in a practice of not consistently posting artists now, it was said at one point they didn't want to just post the sculptor with the figures because there were other artists including the proto painter and tailor, etc. that weren't getting recognition.

It's identical to Boushh, it's definitely Andy's work, I think he may have even said so at one point.

 

[MaulFan]

Just to give an idea Memnoch, here's T-800 with Sarah, I imagine Leia will be about the same height.

 

[Memnoch]

Thanks MF! Yea, there's about a head difference between the female and the Big Boy. Wouldn't be too bad for a custom Vader since the heights are all relative in the line.

 

[MaulFan]

Bottom line, height difference won't be the male being short, but the female too tall. 1/6 female bodies are probably about 5'5" height in scale to other bodies, and I think Fisher's like 5' even, she's not very tall at all, even Hasbro's little figures proportion her now and they're such tiny figures. That's just par for the course in products that capitalize on the re-use of generic parts.
