I want a 1/4 Leia so much. Maybe this one. But I don't really trust GG when it comes to the " production portrait department "...
So, wait and see.

Would like to order this, but I'm seeing a big difference in the strength of the likeness with this head sculpt from relatively minor differences in viewing angles.

Unfortunately, above eye level is the only way I'd be displaying it, and that's the weaker angle to me. Though both views show the portrait lacking the baby fat she still had for the first film. These look more like RotJ-era Fisher, with a longer, leaner face.

It's really surprising how much less it look like her with a different viewing angle.

Surprised by the low price, but agree with Pdenham about the portrait.
Too bad.

Uh, I have around 8 Gentle Giant 1/8-1/6s and I would never want any of their statues that have a human face. They are simply atrocious at face sculpts. This Leia is no different. Which is why all my GG statues are of characters with helmets. But I think even the SSC PF Leia’s face isn’t that good so maybe I’m being too harsh on this particular statue.

Looks like this is finally starting to ship- at least the direct w/ exclusive version.

Here are several, not very well shot, unboxings

the last two are probably the least lens distorted.

As expected, Gentle Giant garbage quality when it comes to the likeness stakes. Gentle Giant used to be good, when it came to 1/4 statues. Since then, they appeared to have settled for less, and there appears to be collectors who lap it up?
