Toyguide Update: VC88 Princess Leia (Sandstorm Outfit)
The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the our next Blu-ray deleted scene figure addition: Princess Leia (Sandstorm Outfit) from The Vintage Collection.
PROS: Hasbro goes to the popular “Slave Leia” well one more time with this release. This figure features an improved paintjob over the previous releases giving her a much softer appearance which makes this a far superior version in terms of likeness to the TLC and VC64 releases. The combination hard/soft goods work well here for the deleted scene attire as they keep the figure relatively unencumbered.
CONS: A great figure for the most part, but the plastic hair braid forces the head to always look to one side. Maybe Hasbro in the future can try to implement real hair akin to what they did in the POTF2 line’s Princess Leia Collection.
Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
You can also weigh in with your impressions on the figures we add to our toyguide on facebook and in our forums.
