Hasbro Design Director Steve Evans has replied via or Instagram page regarding the complaints of the 6″ Princess Leia figure on display at Celebration Europe.
“the Leia figure shown at SWCE is a pre-production ‘first shot’ and is not final deco. We are addressing the delicacies of lips, eyes and eyebrows. The hood is also not stitched as it will be in final product.”

During the live stream from Star Wars Celebration Europe, Ashley Eckstein gave the world the first look at the Ahsoka POP! figure from Star Wars Rebels. Look for it exclusively at Hot Topic this fall.
So it looks like Sideshow is going back to the catalog again as they have revealed a teaser for their “new” 1:6 Scale Han Solo in Carbonite. A version of this figure was available back in 2008 as a sixth scale environment. Look for an official preorder announcement for this piece soon.
