I take back what I said...just doing some scaling, they are almost spot on to the actual heights of Fisher and Ford.  I think we're just used to having really tall Princess Leia figures :-[

According the internet she is 5'1" and he is 6'1"...she is wearing sandles and he is wearing boots.  Just asthetically and after the R2 debacle of Wave 1 it doesn't look good but according to my math it is accurate

Not feeling Leia at all, I'll wait for a white gown version.

There's something about joints in flesh of female figures that just does not work.  Leia does look bad.

Han, Greedo and Fett are all win.

What a set though...  wow was she attractive in her prime.  :-\

I like how the two look, then her...  Seems about right from all the stories told.

I received a set of these from BBTS, but haven't had a chance to open them yet.  They all look pretty nice overall though, with Leia probably being the weakest of the bunch.  The Han looks great, and with all the accessories/extra hands seems the most worthy of the higher pricepoint.  I really like these and can't wait to get them open, but still feel that $15-17 would be a better price.  I am enjoying the OT-heaviness of these so far though, something we hadn't really seen for awhile in the basic lineup.

Online, but for retail cost and since I don't expect to see any wave 2, either 6" or 3 3/4" any time soon I pounced.

If Wave 2 doesn't start showing up in stores by Black Friday I am going to be seriously discouraged.

Hey, I just snagged all of wave 2 at Target!

I saw another full case at a different location and alerted my friend who is looking to pick up Boba and Han.

They look terrific, except for leia, who seems as bad in person as I feared. Will post more later when I get home and have time to rip these open.

Stay on Target!   :D

I was just able to find a replacement Leia at a local Target today who has really well-done eyes, what a relief. It looks like if they go just a hair off center then it comes out atrocious. I am happy to have found a pair spot-on. Still not my favorite figure but I look forward to busting her out tonight. (I rephrased that like 5 times and none of them sounded good)

Still on the hunt for a replacement Greedo though, as I have noticed a small splotch on the left eye of the one I got. The other I saw Friday was even worse.

The only 2 I saw at my stop today were Leia and Han. 2/3 other Targets I checked had no sign of the wave, but at 1 per case I could have easily just missed them outright.
