Soft goods capes and cloaks can look really good in this scale, but dresses are just tough.Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-64424043812798602062023-09-04T00:43:11.095-04:002023-09-04T00:43:11.095-04:00You are definitely right about the dress, though -...You are definitely right about the dress, though - it looks primitive and messy, especially around the collar/shoulders area. It almost looks as though she's wearing a peasant's dress (which almost gives her a vague Tattoine feel..). It would have been forgivable on a Mego doll from the 1970's, but here it just looks weird and rushed, like they didn't put any thought and effort into it and just went the cheapest way possible.Mekaneckfrenchiefrognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-50184770888549906192023-09-03T17:21:22.069-04:002023-09-03T17:21:22.069-04:00I've recently sold off most of my sequel trilo...I've recently sold off most of my sequel trilogy figure and Holdo is one that I got rid of.

The Red Sith Troopers, Phasma, most Reys and her speeder, BB-8, the deluxe Kylo Ren with unmasked head, and I think the Guavian Enforcer.Barbecue17https://www.blogger.com/profile/11169946891265569135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-47456793003221496172023-09-02T16:21:53.933-04:002023-09-02T16:21:53.933-04:00I think she looks absolutely awesome - a truly fan...I think she looks absolutely awesome - a truly fantastic figure. Although she looks more like something out of a James Bond movie or an old british spy-themed TV series than she does Star Wars, but she's just breathtaking in spite of that. I'll order her right now ! (22 € on amazon France).

Honestly, for the fans of the classic scale I think it would be best if someone other than Hasbro would take over and manage that line. Super7, Bossfight Studios, etc. Other than whatever TVC figures Hasbro releases or jazwares' 1/18th Fortnite line, the 1/18th scale seems to be dead at retail. 6-7 inches has definitely become the more predominant scale at the moment. I'll admit I've largely stopped collecting the 1/18th scale even through I grew up with it with G.I. Joe and POTF2, but it was kind of an outlier at that time, too.

Same issue I had with the Ep IV Leia. I just couldn't get over how bad the soft goods looked. At least I now have an Empire Leia, so that made me happy :).BanzaiBoBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8438156728877167677.post-27802690300877577552019-04-05T19:39:19.128-04:002019-04-05T19:39:19.128-04:00Yeah, she's like the least of my problems with...Yeah, she's like the least of my problems with the film. Honestly, I just find it to be a very boring Star Wars film. Despite their issues, the Prequels are never boring. TLJ just drags for me in places.

Laura Dern is a great actress. Definitely odd how divisive her character has been perceived to be.GIJigsawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398778708491795748noreply@blogger.com
