New JD Review: Princess Leia (Boushh Disguise)

[Jesse James]

Finally rounding out the Carkoon Wave... 

This week we're looking at:

Leia's a sign of better things in 2006, but unfortunately she's appearing to be a bit of an anomyly for the most part.  Articulation is out this year but Leia gets the royal treatment from the big H at least.  That's something right?

She's not too shabby otherwise either...  Some minor paint flaws on my sample, but not a whole lot to gripe about.  My big peeve was her right forearm's sculpt, that was it.  Otherwise this was a pretty great figure to me.

Check out my Full Review and chime in with your thoughts. 

Leia's a bright spot in an otherwise dull wave of underacheiving action figures from Hasbro, so enjoy her...  Hoth Wave isn't a huge leap in quality unfortunately.

Boushh was a pleasant surprise. From seeing the pictures, one of my biggest fears was that her helmet was too big. However, once I cracked one open, everything looked nicely in scale and was happy that the arms were articulated to the max. I really don't have any complaints. Sure we could have gotten knee joints, but she survives with out them.

She has 'em Anton.    That's one of my pro's to her actually.  One of the reasons she got a positive review from me over a negative.  To me knee joints are not expendable in this day and age...  Even on lowly generals and officers that arne't "interesting" too much.  The knee joint makes them a better toy, and so goes Leia as well.  She's the best of the wave.

Her right forearm's sculpt is my complaint.  It's so pre-posed it negates the positives of articulation almost completely. 

But yeah she's gots the knees...  I love the sculpt too, it's so superior to its predecessor.  The helmet's oversized look is spot-on.

Shes one of the two figures ive seen in TSC, and looks amazing in the package, im very pleased with her presence on my wall. The arm sculpting i do have to agreewith however. Overall one of my more enjoyable figures.

Sum good chit?

Agree about Leia being the best in the wave

I picked this one up last week

I got this figure late Jan or early-mid Feb. I just realised last week the thermal detonator could clip into her belt.
