These images have popped up on Ebay via a Hong Kong seller, nothing has been confirmed about this item other then her likeness is horrible.

Actually I wonder if we'll get resistance uniform Leia as part of the 5POA line since this outfit is covered here. Kind of like what we're seeing with Han.
 
I just don't have the words. This figure is mystifying on every level. Why make a super articulated version of this figure when there are so many other figures that would benefit from it? Why release Leia in this outfit before the uniform she wore throughout most of the film? Why add soft goods beneath the plastic outer robe which will render any articulation useless? Then there's the matter of the head sculpt and paint applications. It looks like an intergalactic drag queen.
 
Well...yeah. This figure doesn't make much sense. But I'll take it! The sculpt looks like it is probably good but the awful paint apps just ruin it. Definitely will need to 'fix' this one's face with a repaint. I do kind of like how Hasbro took a chance and made Leia and in this outfit, though. She'll mix well and add some variety with all the other SA figures in the lines so far.
 
Actually, as far as Leia likenesses go this is one of the better ones. Just needs the eyebrows to be in the right place.

Link to the ebay seller?
 
Considering Leia and Han are both first releases, is it possible Hasbro has realized the error of their ways and all future figures will be super articulated once again? Could that possibly explain the lack of new product shown at Toy Fair? Far fetched, I know, but one can dream, can't they :)?
 
Too each his own but wow, as much as SA is coveted and has been wanted, a lot of minor complaints to quibble over. I'm just glad the line is continuing. Admittedly I favored the 5poa, but for the main characters, SA is a welcomed addition.
 
Paint app may be bad but such an early pic could mean we are looking at a factory reject. Also, Hasbro has not been known for it's paint/sculpt quality in recent history, Poe 6" version being a good example. At least, 3.75" scale is far more forgiving with those shortcomings.

Thinking about it, the Wal-mart line is not just the SA line its supposed to be a "Collector" line too. So why make this a mass produced 5POA figure no kid would want that would peg-warm everywhere, when you can make a much smaller production run for the exclusive line and make it really nice with SA so collectors don't feel they're getting ripped off?
 
Seriously. After busting her hump to get into fighting shape for the movie, they go and make her look like an old hag here. Sigh...

Good point except I'm betting most collectors would have vastly preferred the other outfit. Agreed that is a niche figure.
 
It looks like an old lady in a blue dress. Pretty accurate...

I don't now, outside of the eyebrows, it looks pretty spot on to me of old lady Leia. This is par for the course Hasbro - INCOSISTANT! Outside of thePOTJ Bespin escape Leia, LC Leia Medical Frigate and TVC Hoth Leia figures what heads have really looked like her?

This figure's expression captures that stiff look she had in the movie. I can hear her speaking now (Read this in the raspy Owen Wilson voice): "Schay guyz, that schneaky Schnoke did it! He took my schon away which was just an excuse for Han to run around the galaxschy schmoozing with other ladies in a cantina! (No one wanted to kiss her, not even Chewie after Han's death. Han pushed her into his chest to get out of it.)

This figure is perfect to recreate the scens from the movie!......and yes, I give Carrie props for trying hard, she is awesome!
 
As others have said, there's a really good sculpt under that paint app.
Seeing this, though, reminds me how much I want a Leia in her new MARVEL Comics Duds. Cool action outfit.
Expand the damn Line, Hasbro.
 
I like this figure apart from the eyebrows of course. Granted we don't need an SA version, but I will take it. I guess now those that were upset about Chewy not getting a hug from Leia can with this figure.
 
I think the dress and even the articulation would have translated better on a 5poa and General leia as SA, but I'll take whatever we get.
 
This figure is actually one of the better decisions Hasbro has made in this line. This is absolutely a collector oriented figure, with minimal appeal to many kids, so it should be in this line, not 5 POA. A 5 POA General Organa, just like the 5 POA Han Solo, has more mass appeal, and the pricepoint is right for kids and casual fans, $13+ is not...

I think the figure looks good, the deco needs help, but the sculpt is nice, reminds me of the Dofine figure, where softgoods and plastic meshed well.

Yeah good point, I agree that Dofine was a good example of soft-goods working well with plastic. But that is the only thing I can agree with in your post ;)
 
I guess I'm in the minority, but I really like how this one is looking and I think the likeness is really good.

i like the figure so I'm with you. I suppose we could sit around and pick out flaws to death or just be glad we got something. I think it's a great likeness.
