CHEERS!

Yes, it was Gentle Giant. Post #78 above there's a picture of it with the new Jabba (icruise removed her from the base she comes with). While it's a nice pose, I'm not all that impressed with the paint job, and the asking prices for it on eBay are insane (anywhere from $400 -1500.00)

This is what it looks like out of the box:





Now that I've had a chance to mess with my kitbashed Leia (she's on a Jiaous Doll Wheaten body -- which oddly, is shorter than a TBL body, but still too tall for Carrie), it is an awkward body to work with. This is one of the early ones with the plastic skeleton and it doesn't have the range of motion of a TBL, so trying to get her into a natural and comfortable pose is impossible. I have another set of the ACPlay Leia kit coming, so I plan on trying to repaint the head color to match the TBLeague S25B body -- which should make posing her much, much easier.


Here's a photo I took yesterday after putting Bib Fortuna in the scene (forgot to put him on something to raise him up).




Here's Bib with Jabba after putting a block under him (still haven't figured his pose out yet):




And a couple details:







By the way, all the pillows are real. They feel like mini hackey-sacks. I just wish there were a few more of them. Getting enough to prop Leia up, like she was in the film, was difficult with the number they gave -- it leaves little to put elsewhere.

The swap out eyes and mouths are pretty cool, giving you plenty of different looks. From a normal viewing distance, the seams aren't as noticeable -- except maybe the one on the right (his left) of the mouth. I didn't spend as much time fiddling with the pieces to get them to sit better as I was taking the pictures. (I didn't do all of the combinations, sorry. But here are a few):

Sleepy/Stoner Eyes:



Standard Eyes:



Surprised -- "Oh my God! She's choking me!" -- Eyes (goes great with the tongue out mouth):




And a few combinations of eyes and mouths:







By the way, the little creature snack in his hand has a magnet in it (as does his hand obviously). The notch in his forefinger/thumb is for the hookah pipe to sit in -- but I haven't messed with that look yet.
