The 'cankles' are nasty, but since the legs are cast in the blue plastic, a little bit of Goof-Off or Nail Polish Remover goes a long way in helping the aesthetics of the figure. True, it takes a way a bit of the 'sexy' in the outfit, but it's an action figure, and you're not supposed to find it sexy anyway.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238228673837389168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-83183613736594344372010-09-09T11:04:15.572-07:002010-09-09T11:04:15.572-07:00If a core character was needed, Lando in Coruscant...If a core character was needed, Lando in Coruscant Imperial Guard or a redo of Luke in Imperial Guard disguise, or that Luke with the Hoth-vest look from Shadows. Or, horrors, a Chewbacca as Snoova redo! (That was an amusing figure for 1996, but a silly look for Chewie.)<br /><br />Though, IIRC, those weren't in that issue. As if that mattered in comic packs!Bravohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178819827126323590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-7959676873269697492010-09-07T05:18:03.810-07:002010-09-07T05:18:03.810-07:00Have to side with the haters here; it's not on...Have to side with the haters here; it's not only a bad figure, it's an unnecessary one. Was Hasbro thinking Xixor needed a core character to help him sell (if so, why even do him)? The Xixor in this pack was a massive upgrade, but this Leia just stinks. My thought when I first saw this pack (and again just now seeing the review) was, why do this unwanted figure when you could have done Guri? I know she's not on everyone's hit list, but even a new character as poorly done as this one was would have been a better idea.Ben Carthagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103522929529502154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-35343147341631385362010-09-07T02:27:10.204-07:002010-09-07T02:27:10.204-07:00I think I'm the only person in the world that ...I think I'm the only person in the world that likes Prince Xizor and the comic figure was a brilliant representation of him. This Leia however is not worth the plastic its made of. The worst thing about it is the scale. Put her next to any other Leia. She's about half the size!

Maybe the figure would've looked better if it had been made in 1996 when "Shadows" was fresh and the more comic/stylized of POTF2 would've made up for some shortcomings in the translation from print to action figure. <br /><br />Leia may not be entirely to blame. Xizor was a major pegwarmer back in 1996-1997. So history repeats.Bravohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00178819827126323590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-38584573438225832092010-09-06T17:27:28.212-07:002010-09-06T17:27:28.212-07:00I loved the comic packs, and I think the reason th...I loved the comic packs, and I think the reason they were cancelled is not because of poor sales, but poor judgement on Hasbro's part. Of course sets like these and the White Wedge are pegwarmers. They're terrible for kids and collectors alike. But make a cool one and you can't find it.Homie Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987890302580870443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-35947441773152783052010-09-06T17:10:31.124-07:002010-09-06T17:10:31.124-07:00This falls under "Why do some figures not get...This falls under "Why do some figures not get made but THIS one does?" Seems like the as-yet-released Noghri comic pack should have made it to market before anyone even remotely considered this pack. Oh well. And yeah, there's still PLENTY on the pegs here in Cincinnati.Schmidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192736153430365147noreply@blogger.com
