I can't wait to get this new Leia! It looks great, the face is finally an actual likeness of Carrie! Not that this really matters, but if Hasbro really wanted VC300 to be of some significance, it should have been this Leia figure.
Congrats, Jason! New Leia looks amazing! Beautiful figure on a lovely and classic cardback. Vastly superior to the VOTC release. Even so, that 20 year old figure is quite nice and worthy of display. I think if you had it in-hand you’d be able to appreciate it, even with the swelbows. 😂 To me, it is much better than the more recent 5poa…
Someone posted on social media a while back having Vader ask Leia if her father knew what she was up to, and Leia saying 'yes!' Great video and review, Jason! I have both the VOTC Leia and Medical Frigate Leia and swapped heads. Until I get this figure that's my AMH Leia. The Mission Fleet Leia wasn't bad, but they were selective on which heads were swivel (mostly OT & PT) and which ones had ball joints (Disney Trilogy).
Are you able to get that figure in Australia already? Here in the U.S. most websites don't have her available until August 1st! I had to order her from a Canadian website store to get her sooner! Did the same with Darth Vader and R2D2, but sadly the Stormtroopers are sold out or out of stock on that site, but canceled my orders on Amazon. That is a great Princess Leia action figure! The figure worried me a bit when Hasbro first revealed her, since she looked a little to pissed, but with the photo real technology it looks like a young Carrie Fisher and not too as pissed looking as I originally thought! :)
Cheers, Tim. Yes it's a great figure. I am in New Zealand, and there was a retailer who had them in stock last week, the whole wave sold out very quickly. I only managed to get Vader and Leia, a buddy hooked me up with a Rex. I have loads of Stormtroopers on pre-order from Amazon, so not worried about them.
Don't act so surprised your highness, you weren't on any mercy missions this time. Several transmissions were beamed aboard this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
Nice review! Elbows look a bit bulbous, but I'm stretching for something to mark it down (plus the lack of lower body articulation) still gets a 9/10 from me! "getting told off from her dad" 😂
Well done Jason, you are on fire with these brand spanking new releases. Looking forward to finally getting the classic New Hope Leia. Question: do you think her belt should be more visible or you good with the way it is?
Cheers, Brett! Personally, I would like to the belt to be more visible as it has been on previous releases. Looking at images online, I think it being slightly obscured is accurate. Some promo shots have it showing more.
Awesome review! It’s a shame that the imp officer 4 pack didn’t include any low level officers, I specifically mean an unnamed lieutenant. I think the lowest officer we have is a captain if I’m not mistaken. We also NEED a new Tarkin! Surprised we haven’t gotten one yet! An ANH, R1 or rebels card would be fine with me!
Thank you. I agree with you on a new Tarkin and new version of the all black officer. Both are higher on my priority list than Cal Kestis in disguise. Cheers
I think this is gonna be a weird one for me. I’m not a fan of how they did the engineering on the elbows. From afar, it won’t be too bad but it’s definitely not adequate. I’m still hoping my units will be good enough. I’m keeping one carded while the other is gonna be on display. I’ll update you all on my Instagram. ;-)
I'm still on the fence for some of these figures. i'm an army builder, i do have some hans and of course luke, but i don't really collect rebels.. though i do have four of the rogue one crew. So i've been wondering if i grab her or not it seems like that one moment in time figures hasbro do.. and later on she'll cost heaps.. but many people will grab her to resell lol Likewise i kinda like the Rogue one vader over the new hope one.. i guess if i get her i also really need the R2.
@@kiwimanMAKMCSWF yes thats what i just said. I still have and prefer the Legacy Collection Medical Frigate Leia figure because it has soft goods skirt where you can actually have the figure bend down and sit properly etc
Another terrific review from the man with the greatest channel name in internet history!
Lol, thank you very much!
😂 "Told off by her Dad"! 😂 Nice one, thanks Jason great review
Thank you, Blake!
This really is an amazing looking figure and it's about time Hasbro thank you I ordered 2 of Leia great review!
Awesome, cheers Dennis!
I always thought that the 5POA had a pretty good likeness, but this shows just how far TVC has progressed with face sculpts, amazing.
Absolutely, I was the same. Cheers for watching, Lewis!

Not that this really matters, but if Hasbro really wanted VC300 to be of some significance, it should have been this Leia figure.
Totally agree on that, Randy. She should have been VC300. The face sculpt is mad good. Let's hope a definitive Luke is not far away. Cheers.
Great review, what a work of art this figure is ❤
Thank you! And yes, I agree. Top work by Hasbro.

Cheers, Luke. I will take your word for it on VOTC Leia, I have never seen one in hand. The 5POA Leia might end up in my garden 😂

Cheers, Coleman. I used to think the head sculpt on MF Leia was great, but this one blows it out if the water.
Can't wait to get the three I ordered, and look forward to getting a couple of the soft goods variant that Hasbro no doubt has planned already.
Yeah, I'm almost certain they will do a soft goods version. Cheers

@@kiwimanMAKMCSWF I have to save money, so it was easier on me to just cancel the Stormtroopers for now and get the R2D2 instead.
Darth vader, only you could be so bold.
The imperial Senate will not sit still for this! When they hear you've attacked a....

Take her away

"getting told off from her dad" 😂
Thank you! Yes, the elbows look hard to do in plastic. Otherwise perfect! Cheers
Such a great figure, Hasbro did well with this one. Nice review mate.
Thanks mate, I agree. Great figure and thank you!

The face is 100 times better than the power of the force/jedi version! And of course the articulation too.
Absolutely agree! This is crazy good.
Awesome review!

The sleeve definitely makes the elbows tricky to look right. Look forward to the Instagram update!

This is the best Leia likeness they have ever done. If it fits your collection I recommend getting her.
I am getting this awesome figure for my collection
I still prefer and think the Legacy Collection Medical Frigate Leia's body is better
Because of the soft goods? I think there will be a soft goods version of this at some point. Cheers
@@kiwimanMAKMCSWF yes thats what i just said. I still have and prefer the Legacy Collection Medical Frigate Leia figure because it has soft goods skirt where you can actually have the figure bend down and sit properly etc
@urrutiap your comment said the body was better. I was just asking a clarifying question.
