Hot Toys 1/6 Hoth Leia

[dukefett]

Yeah, Ebay can be brutal. There’s obviously “flippers” that try to cash in on people wanting to find older releases they missed out on. But I have had some success with genuine sellers that are way more reasonable.
I also have a list of figures that I’m trying to stick to so I can keep the collection streamlined. It contains a “wishlist” to hopefully take into account future releases. Mind you, HT and SS are pretty good at surprising me. I just hope I can round out my list before retail prices get too high for me.

The thing with eBay is to look for auctions or look at newly listed Hot Toys for people who badly price their listings. Auctions vary on the figure of course but a lot of the time they don't get up to retail.

Arrived today and thankfully no blue dots of any kind. As with many others, I have to say that in hand this figure is fantastic. So glad to have this one on display.

You cannot have full enjoyment until you share pictures.

Ha... That is very, very true.

I tried to upload them from my phone when I posted the comment. Here's some quick snaps.

I have question. Does anyone know where to get similar tubing like the e-web? Building a hoth diorama, but i need ripple tubing.

I would start at the hardware store. Also, office supply stores sell a similar tubing to cover computer wires.

Thanks. Haven't been to an office supply store yet. Will look into that.

You can also get heavy gauge solder(3-5mm), and wrap normal solder around it. It will be flexible, but will hold any shape you want it to.

I put a spare head on a custom figure i had at work, just for a laugh.
I reckon the likeness is there for all to see. It's a beautiful sculpt if you allow for a bit of shadow and depth.

Nice! I like both customs! And I really like the yellow saber--an homage to the Kenner action figures!

Thanks. It's just a length of acrylic rod sanded to a point on one end. I just stick it into a power drill and sand away till it's sharp, and sand the surface of the bar too.

Nice. Is that done in-camera, or a composite?

 

[QuiGonFishing]

Thanks!

That is a composite I made using a production still from ESB.

Glad you like!

Home depot has some perfect tubing in the plumbing section. You can get a toll of 20ft for $13.99
