I've had this figure open and photographed since I bought her way back in early December of last year. I've always found it extremely tricky to photograph characters with a lot of white on their costumes. So this Leia (and Storm from the last post) spurred me to dive deep and figure out the intricacies of my damn camera (as well as adjusting color balance in post-editing) to properly review these characters. I re-shot her and I'm much happier with the washed-out photo set I created last year. This Leia is actually one of my favorites from my 6" Star Wars Black Series collection. I always thought this was a great functional look that still stayed true to that classic Leia color palette and her hairdo is second only to the side-buns. We've received six different Leias in this line so far and I can only think of three more offhand (Cloud City Rust Gown, Endor Speeder Bike, and Endor long hair celebration look). And I hope we eventually get them all because it would make for a pretty awesome collection. Let's check out Hot Leia below!
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here she is with a very similar Leia (Bespin Escape) that was unfortunately released around the same time.
And here are all my Black Series Leias together. From Left to Right:
Slave Leia, Bespin Escape Leia, General Leia, Hoth Leia, 40th Anniversary Leia, and Boushh Disguise Leia.
Cheers!
Definitely a great figure. Iconic costume. Love the set of Leia's at the end. Didn't realize they've done so many.
ReplyDeleteI hope we eventually get a Last Jedi Leia figure.
