Easily one of the most iconic female outfits of the last century, it’s no surprise this look has had a few statues and busts based off of it. Specifically, the Kotobukiya Slave Leia statue that I’m reviewing today.
I picked this up because I needed a cheap statue to get free shipping on a large order I was placing. It’s a fairly small piece with a decent little base.
The sculpting is alright. It’s not one of Kotobukiya’s best efforts, even in their Star Wars line. It has an interesting pose, though I’m not sure what emotion it’s trying to convey. The likeness unfortunately isn’t there, I don’t see Leia in the face. The body is well done, it’s pleasant and feminine without being trashy.
The paint is a little off. My pictures are slightly “warmer” than the real statue. It’s very pale. There were no outright paint flaws but in general it’s a little flat and lifeless. The best paint work is on the base.
2.5/5. Not a terrible statue by any means, just kind of mediocre.
Buying Options : Easily available for around $25 on Ebay. I believe it’s been reprinted a few times so it shouldn’t be tough to find in stores either. Check Amazon too.
