I don't understand for the life of me people's arguments regarding the lack of ankle joints when they say this is an "action oriented" outfit. All Leia did in this outfit was stand around and run away. She saw more 'action' in her white dress from A New Hope than she did in this outfit. <br /><br />I've bought a couple of these, and modded one to look like the "Antique Force Detail" April Fool's Joke over at Rebelscum, and another I swapped hands with the Legacy Collection's Slave Leia, gave her Han's welder and Major Panno's goggles to recreate her look from the Falcon Repair sequence. True, she may not be the most 'fun' figure in the wave, but for my $8, she's the best.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238228673837389168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-89690608518193922852010-08-26T09:32:05.663-07:002010-08-26T09:32:05.663-07:00This collector isn't expecting ankle articulat...This collector isn't expecting ankle articulation in this figure.

What's the point of "vintage" if Hasbro leaves out features (such as Leia's immobile ankles) that collectors are expecting? Answer: "Vintage" is just a branding name to Hasbro. If they meant it, then we wouldn't be getting straight repacks like 4-LOM and Boba Fett.<br /><br />Speaking of the premiere bounty hunter, I still haven't seen it in stores, which, to me, indicates that not all of the first wave is readily available.<br /><br />Back to the princess for one final point: I'd forgotten that the original card back labeled her simply as "Leia," not "Princess Leia" or "Leia Organa." So, it seems that the ROTS "Padme" labeling was not without predecent.<br /><br />I'd argue thatThe Right Noble Lord Edzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358257045662278956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-90413698861411709512010-08-26T05:36:26.135-07:002010-08-26T05:36:26.135-07:00While I'm entirely less enamored of the Vintag...While I'm entirely less enamored of the Vintage line than most collectors seem to be, this one is such an improvement that getting it was really a no-brainer (and replacing her previous incarnation on the shelf amply demonstrated how far sculpting on these figures has evolved in the last decade). She's probably the most necessary, in terms of upgrading an old figure, in the line. Quabbles about minor issues seem nitpicky given the figure's quality.Ben Carthagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103522929529502154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8139262298737556599.post-29818903915901735782010-08-26T05:08:09.812-07:002010-08-26T05:08:09.812-07:00At $8 or more in this vintage "Collector'...At $8 or more in this vintage "Collector's line", the lack of ankles is a let down.
