Three Degrees of Princess Leia
I now have three 'A New Hope' Princess Leia's, none of which I'm entirely happy with, though I'm happiest with my most recent acquisition, which came with a Stormtrooper Luke. Yes, it's 5 POA, just like the previous two, but at least it's more accurately proportioned and scaled (she's dwarfed by the Black Series Chewbacca, which is as it should be!). Her face is better too, even if it's not a particularly accurate reproduction of Carrie Fisher. It is at least a more delicate and feminine looking sculpt than the older versions (especially old Monkey Face). Though I have to say that the soft-goods Leia has a much better painted face even if they have, for reasons which escape me, made her a redhead.
I was initially toying (no pun intended) with combining parts from the different versions to make some sort of super-Leia, but I'd more likely end up with a weird Frankenstein's monster! What do you all think?
Anyway, until I can get hold of a reasonably priced VOTC Leia (or Hasbro re-release it, which they must, surely, have plans to do) then I think new Leia will be my preference for any future pics.
