Additionally, this is one of the best uses of soft goods in recent memory.
I really appreciate the tampos on the back pack, which stand out nicely. The detailing throughout is well executed. This gives tremendous range of motion to the head without the risk of an accidental figure decapitation. In addition to other super articulated goodness we’ve been accustomed to since 2008, the figure features a true ball-jointed neck (versus the more common ball and socket neck. The display limitation of the figure really is a shame because it’s outstanding otherwise.
Fortunately, you’re likely to pose this figure with the vibrostaff in hand, which will greatly add in supporting the figure upright. The figure will occasionally fall over even in the most neutral of poses. When a figure is difficult to balance in a kneeling pose, you know it’s top heavy. If I had to level a second, but much less serious, critique of the figure, it would be that it seriously lacks balance. Nothing says “I love you” like a handheld nuclear device. Second, it’s jarring to see Leia embracing Han with an explosive in her hand, as in picture 27 above ( Editor’s note: picture 26 in the current gallery). Nor can it hold the staff in both hands for more action oriented poses. First, for much of Leia’s initial scene, she is holding the vibrostaff in her left hand. This is unfortunate for a couple of reasons. The permanently sculpted accessory not only locks this figure into the height of that tense bounty negotiation, but it limits the utility of the figure, as the hand cannot be used for any other purpose. This represents a regression from its predecessor, 2006’s Saga Collection Princess Leia (Boushh disguise), which had a removable detonator.
The figure’s left hand is permanently grasping the thermal detonator. For most of her first appearance in ROTJ, Leia holds the Vibrostaff in her left hand
