Sideshow Princess Leia Organa - Review

More shots....

An overall shot of her. For the most part she looks pretty good. The fabric on the dress seems billowy like the one she wore in a New Hope. My only complaint is that it seems to be coming loose around the collar but as she's not going to get hard play, that shouldn't be much of a problem.


Her shoes. They are molded and for some reason they almost look like they are both the same side but if you look at the bottom, they are not. They seem a little too dirty though.



The Stormtrooper Blaster. A very nice piece. I hope this is not a one shot mold and that we see a Stormtrooper from Sideshow at some point.


And her sporting blaster. Again, a nice piece.

"Aren't you a little short for a Stormtrooper?"

The pros:
The sculpt is much closer to Carrie Fisher's than their first one.
Overall the fabric is light and billowy enough to resemble the dress from the movie.
Both pistols are nice.

The cons:
The fabric is light and I have a slight tear around the neck.
The shoes seem bulky and are shaped in a way that they almost look like the same side.

I wont call her the best of the Star Wars line to date, as I think that title belongs to the Obiwan, but she is damn close. It seems that Sideshow is taking the advice from the boards and improving these figures as they go along. Given the look of the Luke and the Old Obiwan coming up, I can't wait. With the improved Harrison sculpt for Indy, I hope that a New Hope version of Han is on the way.

However, what I'd really like to see in the future is a Chewbacca. Hasbro never quite got him right and so I never got a 12" version of him (although I suppose he'd be closer to 13 or 14").
