I missed out on the pre order. Someone on this board sold me their pre order.
Ren somehow feels different to my other 1/4 statues.

It's good to own and support statues from all companies.
My collection still lacks something from PCS and Prime 1, although i have 2x statues on pre order from PCS (both 1/3)

Emma Frost Hellfire Club Premium Format(TM) Figure 1/4 Sideshow Collectibles

I’ve sat on the fence for quite some time when it came to the Sideshow Emma Frost PF. Deep
down, I knew I wanted this ¼ statue. I managed to pick one up for quite a good price. I like the
statue. Emma is tall. The white cape took some work to fit, and I decided against creating a knot.
I didn’t see the need to obtain the EX, as if I did, I would never have displayed the short hair
version, and Ebay sellers want high prices just because of the EX status.

My camera is a basic Sony Cyber-shot 7.2 mega pixel with auto focus, and is prone to shake. I
finally obtained a tripod, and made use of the morning sun when taking these photo’s. When ever
I use the flash, the results tend not to look so great.

If I wanted to be hyper-picky, and compare Emma Frost to some of my other ¼ PF pieces, the hair
is on the flat/matte side and not as smooth as Gentle Giant’s Maggie Greene. The white leather
effect finish on Emma’s gloves, body, boots looks slightly cheap. While base suites the statue perfectly,
some might feel it is too basic for a PF statue.

Great pick up and nice photos! I've seen this piece in person and it looks good. I agree with your critiques.

This piece came out during a bit of a dark time for Sideshow, plagued with QC issues and such. Overall this piece came out nicely though. Have you seen some of the mods people have done with it?

I've seen some of the mods in the Emma Frost thread. It does appear it is one of those pieces that some felt the need to make changes to.

Hot Toys - Princess Leia - Hoth (figure)

Arrived yesterday

The photo’s are some quick out of the box shots, although i made some effort adding a white
towel backdrop. The pose requires more work.

All in all, first impressions are great. Hot Toys have done an excellent job. The head accessories
are difficult to attach, thus i left them off, as it made no sense to damage the head sculpt. The
Carrie Fisher likeness works well when the figure is viewed from either the left or right side.
Viewing the portrait head-on, the likeness fades slightly. I've attached the 'welding torch' which
is attached to a small silver box via a black stretch cord. To be honest, i'm not sure where the
silver box is supposed to go?

Think i'll be watching The Empire Strikes Back tonight
