I mean, youve got yourself wrapped up in a warm blanket of action figure protection, man... What more can you ask for?

Well, plenty. Probably.

But hell, TOYS man... TOYS!!??

Yeah man, I'm telling ya, love, affection, physical intimacy, all overrated compared to a good sculpt, good paints apps, and 25+ points of that sweet sweet articulation.?

Its an expense thats for sure. I'm not even sure how much longer I can afford collecting them tbh. I had a bunch of cash saved up earlier this year cause I was planning on moving in with my girlfriend but that didn't pan out so instead of doing the smart thing I rationalized that I would have wasted all this money anyways if I had moved but at least technically buying these is somewhat of an investment and if I ever got into financial trouble I could always sell them. Toys will never hurt me!! lmao?

I would love to be able to see a pricetag like that without my eyebrows to makinga beeline for my hairline, though, lol.

Yeah most Star Wars Hot Toys are in the$240-$250 but this Leia is about $200. Which isn't much but any little bit helps and it tells us that HT also realizes her actual value instead of being greedy.

Thats a fair point. For accuracys sake, I guess theres only so much they could do.

One thing I do like is that I think Hot Toys knew that this would be only for select collectors so they made this cheaper than their usual figures.

I'd prfer that too but you have to remember when she was actually wearing this outfit she was sitting in her room worried and then walking through the corridor to see Vader and thats all so in a way this expression works.

Yea, that one is definitely better, out of the both of them... I kind of wish theyd have gone with something a little more expressive, I think, with this one. I mean, she doesnt have to have a goofy smile or anything. But, maybe like a smirk, after delivering one of her many quips to Han.

I agree, there really is no reason to pick this up except to get the head sculpt to put on your Hoth Leia if your going for the complete ESB look but I do wish her face looked more like the Hoth version though.
