Zimm's Two Cents
I have never understood the fascination with Princess Leia and this outfit; however, growing up with Star Wars, this piece jumped out at me.

Points in Favor
  • The detail. Her face captures Carrie Fisher (from the eyes to the to the cheekbones) perfectly. I don't tend to like statues or busts based on an actual person.
  • The chain coming down from her collar.
  • Great colors. From the Vibro Ax, to her lips, to the
  • The little things are what make this bust. Look at the Vibro Axe or her looped earrings, or the purple dress part of her bikini.
Points Against
  • I don't really see anything wrong with this piece.
Recommendation: If you are a Star Wars fan, then this is one for the collection. Hot Buy. I may have to buy this one for my younger brother.

Robert's Two Cents
Wow! That looks like Leia's face. Usually these types of pieces are so lifelike. Plus I get to mention Slave Girl Leia and Vibro Axe in the same sentence.

Points in Favor
  • Wow! The Vibro axe is sweet!
  • I was in love with slave girl Leia when this movie came out.
  • At least as lifelike as anything in Madame Toussad's.
Points Against
  • Nothing!
Recommendation: Hot Buy. I would have killed for this in 1983. I was only eight, but I still would have killed.
