Hasbro said at Toy Fair to our crew that it would be... take that as you will. I'm not sure but it's not a deal breaker on the Snowtroopers for me, not by a longshot.
Leia... I dunno, I don't mind her. i find her likeness, as far as what we've seen, to be passable... It's safe to assume she's super articulated or darn close under the poncho. The knees aren't bulky at all so they don't bother me, and are appreciated for what they are. They seem smooth and flush fitting. That's good designing on a figure with such thin limbs if you ask me. I'm pretty happy with all 6 VTAC figures so far, but that's without owning one of course. Easy to say "hey that looks great" and then change your mind when you buy one and open it.
BTW I count packaging as a plus among these and I'm a loose collector too... Trash, perhaps, but it's part of these figure's appeal to collect the nostalgic packaging... And depending on what day you talk to Hasbro it was also part of the reason everything in the "Vintage" assortment costs so much... Other days it's articulation. Other days sculpt. Other days paint... The only thing it hasn't been is accessories.
One day they'll settle on the REAL reason I'm sure. It's probably just going to be "all of the above reasons are why you pay $10 for these, now shove it".
