THAT’S A HOOD? I thought it was a Cone-of-Shame.

In reply to souldeserter. Nah, it was bad, but this is worse. Every version they have come out with is consistently worse than the last.

In reply to Bombadgungan. It looked even worse at Toy Fair.

Are they going to adress that it looks nothing like Carrie?? What is it with the three main Characters that sculptors just cat get. I have never seen a bang on sculpt of any of them. Ever.

In reply to Rogue 13. It's weird. I don't know if it's just the paint or the underlying sculpt. The Toy Fair sculpt wasn't perfect, but it was certainly acceptable. How can this sculpt be so different? They wouldn't have resculpted it.

In reply to Paulskywalker. LOL! That is a perfect description of this face! I agree, sometimes the production version isn't as stunning as what can be achieved by artisans hand painting a prototype, but this is a dramatic change and a change for the worse.

Whoa! What happened between Toy Fair and now? The last time we saw this figure, if not quite perfect, she did at least look pretty darn nice. It’s hard to say from these photos, but I’m concerned that the issue is more than skin deep, meaning more than just sloppy paint apps. I’m glad Hasbro is on the case, but I can’t see that they would go back and resculpt a figure at this point.

I’d like to see some other photos. This Jedi Insider photography really seems to accentuate the problems with a weird camera angle, giving her a giant head and short stumpy body. Even the soft goods look all wrong compared with the Toy Fair figure. The earlier prototype looked taller and sleeker and in perfect proportion by comparison.

In reply to Etheangel2220. Of course for many, it is never too early to talk crap.

Leia meets the Wicked Witch of the west. How can they go backwards from the toy fair??
