Nice! That cowl turned out really excellent and so did Luke's flight suit. Well done.

Thanks for your comments, here's a customised 3.75" Princess Leia Organa (Yavin Ceremony).
I never got hold of the updated Vintage Collection Yavin Leia, so I did my own version with soft goods skirt.



Head from TVC187 Leia (Bespin) with hair piece removed. Hair bun, torso, arms, belt & soft goods gown parts from TBS boxed Leia (Yavin Ceremony). Modified Legs section from EP1 Queen Amidala (Coruscant). The soft goods skirt is 2 pieces of a white Optoplast Microfibre Lens Cleaning Cloth stitched together.



I cut the existing gown in half and each side is glued and slotted into the sides of the torso piece to be more like the actual costume.

Well done, sir, well done. That is a really nicely executed version of Leia, she looks most excellent.

This might be the best Yavin Leia I have ever seen. Wow. At a loss to describe how awesome I think this is.

Off to the front pages. Such a work of art. Bravo sir!

I waited a while to add my comment. I really appreciate that you added the how-to and recipe for this beauty of a custom! Your Leia figure looks absolutely stunning! I'm also impressed by the quality of your pictures. I'm jealous and that's an impression I rarely have. I'm also mad at the current brand team for Star Wars over at Hasbro that they've been doing such a sloppy job at many figures especially of Princess Leia. Let's hope they'll do such an awesome job on ANH Leia for TVC as they did on the latest Ahsoka (Mandalore). Also their Yavin Ceremony Leia for The Black Series looks incredible for that price point.
You got serious customizing skills, Sir.

Thank you all so much for your comments. I'm glad you like that Leia so much.

...I'm also mad at the current brand team for Star Wars over at Hasbro that they've been doing such a sloppy job at many figures especially of Princess Leia. Let's hope they'll do such an awesome job on ANH Leia for TVC as they did on the latest Ahsoka (Mandalore)...

I'm pleased to see Hasbro focusing a lot more on the TVC line again, but I too have been disappointed with some of the updates on them - there's no consistency. It's frustrating when a lot of them are just new printed faces, rather than adding articulation or soft goods which could do so much to improve them. I didn't like their updated Yavin Leia, but I think the TVC Bespin Leia head that I used on this custom is the best Leia face they've done. So yes, let's "hope" they finally do an ultimate TVC ANH Leia.
