Hot Toys 1/6 Hoth Leia

Those are undoubtedly tayloring marks. They must be skipping the process or removing them...

Mine was an exclusive from Sideshow.

There was an exclusive version?

You didn't get the Mynock?





j/k

Sideshow still hasn't even bothered to ship mine yet...

Yeah the exclusive version has blue dots on it.

I got mine yesterday. I didn’t fully take her out of the box, but she seemed fine after a first glance. I can’t wait to take her out and strategically place her on my shelf so my husband doesn’t notice her. He doesn’t know about her yet.

The perfect woman !!

Mine was just delivered from Sideshow. It's got the blue dots on the right thigh pad and crotch as well. Started the return/exchange... should I try to remove them with alcohol before I hear back from Sideshow? Not sure. Sent plenty of clear photos.

Bocce balls. Leia just arrived (from SS) and I've got the blue dot problem as well.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Oh man... this is going to be a big problem.

Early adopters are lucky -- Sideshow will have exchanges -- but they will run out fast. By the time I get mine from BBTS, I fear replacements will be all gobbled up.

“This is madness!” Mine arrives today from SS, and I’m almost afraid to open it.

 

[bedot]

Her value might spike.

Easy to talk from side (I have an unspotted Leia) but I think you guys should better try one of the solutions suggested around the web. Rubbing alcohol? Something like that?

I'm actively removing the dots right now with 70% iso alcohol swabs from my first aid supply. I did find some fainter dots around the rest of the jumpsuit with closer inspection. The Swabs are working though, using about one per dot. Same thigh pad from my last post:

I'd like to know the exact kind of rubbing alcohol before I try anything. Someone needs to pin the instructions on the first post as well.

I remember seeing some kind of tutorial on FB from a HK seller that was going to clean the Leias for his customers.
That's the post:

I got mine today from SS and was luckily free of dots.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Seems about 50/50 at this point. Not great odds.

What a silly mistake. Doesn't even make sense. I wonder if HT will finally admit to a problem?

Just got my 10 day notice from BBTS for this and Tarkin both...

Me too! I'm surprised, I didn't get it for the Homecoming Spider-Man yet, I thought that was released before these two.

Me too.

I had entertained the idea of cancelling to maybe get cheaper on ebay... but there's no way I'm risking getting stuck with blue dots. It's going to be a risk as it is with BBTS. Maybe Sideshow shipped them as many blue dots as possible.
