I don'y usually watch you reviews of Star Wars figures, but since i think they never really hot Leia right, i wanted to see your opinion. I agree. The second figure is the best face, but it still isn't quite right.
I have the second release which while not photo real still looks good and conveys the youthfulness of Carrie in Star Wars. The new photo real one looks older, less puppy fat. The original looks like some stern German Frau from the 1930's. To me it seems like the same head sculpt on the three New Hope Leia's just the paint making rhe difference. The other Leia I have is the Hoth one which looks spot on. That and Bespin Leia look most accurate to me. Boushh Leia needs a more accurate sculpt and scaling smaller. Sadly we know Hasbro will just give it a re release with a shiny face.
Thank you for this comparison video. It was super helpful. I love these sorts of videos because I can get a clear idea of what the face sculpt will be before I decide to buy the next figure.
That helped me l went bought the 40th leia straight away, l would like to see comprassion on farmboy luke including the sandspeeder one before l buy the pulse one.Im happy that the new pulse Han is better than the previous one. But this shiney look, l dont like.They have put it on the new lando skiff too.
I already did that comparison video. Go check it out. It’s in my video list. I don’t know if there will be any difference in the Skiff Lando, since the original already had digital face printing tech.
I have em all. Hoth Leia is my favorite of all. The sculpted clothes are better than the cloth. I’m torn on the two skinny head figures. The toy like paint does look good. The more photo real pulls off the confronting Vader look. It definitely worth a buy.
Ok I just go back from Disneyland (completely forgot to look for creature pack dohhhhh) but I nabbed Lucasfilm han and luke. They had the archive Leia but I totally passed thanks to this vid. Thanks again my dude!!!
I like these comparison videos when figures get rereleased/updated. I think the middle Leia is still best, but the new one is more in line with what is coming out now. Thanks Mike.
As much as I want this one, as well as the POF carded Han and Luke, I can't bring myself to buy them. Something about having only the 40th anniversary releases on that backdrop appeals to me more.
IMO the New Hope 40th anniversary one looks the best (It also looks so much like the actress from „Stranger Things„ ☺️) The „Empire“ ones look great!!! (I think they also were from the 40th anniversary line, right? 👌🏻 The „Bounty“ Leia is great with the helmet on 😉... „Slave“ Leia is the worst looking IMO 😅 The glossy on the Archive one is awefull and she looks so grimy 😅
Yeah, the Farmboy Luke figure is terrible. People repainting his face, and even Hasbro applying the photo-real years later just shows that the sculpt was bad. The likeness was never there. It needs to be redone.
I don't know...this new Archive release looks off to me. It's REALLY shiny...and the skin is quite tan. Carrie was very fair-skinned in the original Star Wars trilogy. The eyes look 'mean' too for some reason. Almost like she's scowling or something. This might be more in line with what we're getting now, but I still almost feel like the 40th Anniversary version is better. It's not photo-real, but it looks more like Carrie and how she appeared in A New Hope. It's definitely one of the best likenesses we got in The Black Series prior to the use of the face-printing tech. I think I might just stick with that one, honestly.
The newest ANH Leia does look good, but is too glossy. And yet she looks like resting-bit**-face-Leia - in this case I am good with it. But compared to the other newer Leias, she takes a seat.
Could this new figure have her face "matted" so its not so shiny. If it wasnt so shiny and tanned she would look perfect for Leia. Like you said, the previous is much much better.

Bespin Leia for the win. Best face and hair sculpt
I have the second release which while not photo real still looks good and conveys the youthfulness of Carrie in Star Wars.

I actually like the 2016 one my self we need a cloud city one that's my favourite
I think the Yavin ceremony Leia has the best face. Great sculpt, nice paint and not too shiny.
I didn't have that Princess Leia until bought the new Archive one. It's cool. I like my Endor camo Leia better.
Hi Mike, I've been away from your channel awhile. Good to see your review/comparisons again. Nice work.
Thank you for this comparison video. It was super helpful. I love these sorts of videos because I can get a clear idea of what the face sculpt will be before I decide to buy the next figure.
how does she compare with a female marvel legends? is she smaller?
I hate the gloss. The empire ones are dope

As a somewat new collector im happy whit this and the next two archive waves.
Great review Mike. I appreciate the comparison since after looking, I don’t think I’ll buy the new one as I have the 2017 that looks good enough.
Leia in Boussh disguise looks like Gigantor standing next to all those other Leias. Why did Hasbro make her so big?
I have the Luke from the Speeder set, and my New Hope representations for Han and Leia I have the figuarts.
As much as I want this one, as well as the POF carded Han and Luke, I can't bring myself to buy them. Something about having only the 40th anniversary releases on that backdrop appeals to me more.
I appreciated the rerelease since I’m a newer collector, but the glossiness is throwing me off a little. Good improvement from the original though.
now we need Slave Leia Archive
IMO the New Hope 40th anniversary one looks the best (It also looks so much like the actress from „Stranger Things„ ☺️)
The „Empire“ ones look great!!! (I think they also were from the 40th anniversary line, right? 👌🏻
The „Bounty“ Leia is great with the helmet on 😉...
„Slave“ Leia is the worst looking IMO 😅
The glossy on the Archive one is awefull and she looks so grimy 😅
While Leia looks off, that Luke is just baaaaaaaaaaaaad
Yeah, the Farmboy Luke figure is terrible. People repainting his face, and even Hasbro applying the photo-real years later just shows that the sculpt was bad. The likeness was never there. It needs to be redone.
Han is the King and Like is the Knight.
Awesome bro.

Too many leias, not enough Padmes
I got the archive Leia at GameStop today for under $20 Canadian. The face on mine looks better than yours for some reason.

Sure. You can easily get a matte top coat spray and fix it.
Oh dear. It just looks worse. How did they manage to take a good sculpt and have it look less like Leia?
get a lootcrate
NONE of the glossy ones look good at all.
