Nice and tardily there , toy collector . Hand over your notecase and nobody gets fluff aside — this amazing Leia would n’t give two hoots that your chargeman was set to stun !
Yes , finally , Hot Toys are bring the delicately detailed hair buns of A New Hope - era Princess Leia to their increasingly impressive line of Star Wars figures , and much to our corporate non - surprise , she looks absolutely unbelievable .
I suppose there ’s not really much to get wrong with this Leia , count she ’s so manifestly dressed , but as ever with Hot Toys , everything that is done is top notch . The sculpt , if a footling emotionless , is blot - on to a young Carrie Fisher , and the tailoring on her apparel perfectly captures the billowy nature of the master without feeling like it ’s too badly - fitting or loose-fitting on a figure of this scale , as wearable often incline to look . There may may not be a lot to get wrong , but everything is get so correct that it ’s more than welcome to see this particular incarnation of Leia getting her dues . The only fragile downside is the ball jointed wrist joint reminds you you ’re front at a figure , rather than a de - ripened and miniaturised Carrie Fisher created through whatever black magicks Hot Toys be given to employ while making these things .
Leia herself is sparsely accessorised ( which hopefully mean she ’ll be slimly less dear than your common Hot Toys ) , coming with a few alternating hands , a Stormtrooper rifle , and her trustworthy sporting blaster from the movie ’s opening scenes aboard the Tantive IV . When Sideshow get their manus on her for distribution , there ’ll also be an as - yet - unrevealed special backcloth to go with her too .
Hot Toys have yet to give away a price , or even when Leia is out , but at this power point , anticipate her sometime in the middle of next year .
Hopefully there ’ll be more Leias on the way — Hot Toys ’ Star Wars line just require to basically become an madly detailed and much more expensive version of Kenner ’s original dolly line and give us infinite Leia ’s inincreasingly ridiculous outfit .
