11 months later and finally some good news!

[Deoxyribonucleic]

I just put up a blog about this on my myspace...it's been so long that I never thought I'd see it! I saw that email today and didn't even know what it was at first haha I'll hit up San Diego Comic Con again before I get this little gem, which I find hilarious! :yes:

[JediTricks]

And that's where she was first displayed last year!

[jedibear]

Now let us hope that the same factory that just gave us canned frosting head Faramir isn't the one painting Leia/Boussh...

[JediTricks]

Now just 3 to 5 days away!

Just got an email from Sideshow with a tracking number...my Boushh has been shipped! Woohooooooooooooo I can't believe it!

[JediTricks]

Congrats! I suspect then mine will ship tomorrow, provided no troubles with my card.

[Deoxyribonucleic]

I got my Boushh today. It came from Thousand Oaks so it only took a day to ship it...NICE! Perhaps I'll be back for reviews but I haven't had a chance yet to really get down to the nitty gritty inspection :) It looks fantastic though! :thumbsup:

[Bosskman]

Mine is supposed to ship with Hologram Sidious.

[Darth Cruel]

What an awesome figure this is. My faith in Sideshow is completely restored. Sculpt, costume, paint apps, articulation...all perfect except for a few VERY SLIGHT oppses on the paint app on the portrait. But even that doesn't drop the score down to even a 99%. I am convinced that at the same price point...the figure can not be done better. And the price point it came in at allows for a lot!

[JediTricks]

I am really digging this figure as well, my only issues are the chin is a little too far forward and the trousers (?) have the poofy aspects too low, but they did a great job with it and I love how they handled the removable helmet. The exclusive blaster is a total snore though.

"Worth the wait"? Yes, but I wouldn't want to wait that long again. :p

[jedibear]

I love this figure...well worth the wait in my book.

Great texture and weathering on the outfit...best paint app in a while, and she just looks great.

I'm happy to add this one to my Jabba setup...

[AoDfan]

Mine is supposed to ship with Hologram Sidious.

Mines shipping that way too.

[JediTricks]

Great shots!

[AmanaMatt]

I received mine yestersay and I love it....FANTASTIC figure....she is my fav in the line as of now.

[dr_evazan22]

Recieved my tracking number today.

[AoDfan]

Got mine today. It's one sweet figure, can't add anything that hasn't already been said.

[Bosskman]

Mine is processing........

[jedibear]

You'll enjoy this one, Bosskman...

Here's my "final" display pose with her. This truly is one of the best Sideshow's done...

[Bosskman]

Cool. I sill don't know how I'll diplay MY Boussh Leia when I get her though.......

[AoDfan]

You'll enjoy this one, Bosskman...

Here's my "final" display pose with her. This truly is one of the best Sideshow's done...

Is that just the Sideshow display stand with a rock on it? Thats pretty neat. I just have mine standing up at attention, with other Leia as Boushh action figures.

[jedibear]

yeah, it's just the standard stand with a rock. I do that with some of my Sideshow figures to break up the "At attention/just standing there" poses...I like the variety.

[jedibear]

Remember when she was three weeks away?

Continuing my look back at this year's Sideshow best, here's a photo collection featuring my favorite of the year....

[JediTricks]

Awesome! What's Luke doing though? Looks like some sort of Italian gesture. :p

[jedibear]

He's handing her the (very tiny) thermal detonator...
(I had to shrink this photo collection down to "fit" here so some detail is lost...)

[JediTricks]

Oh, ok, I get it.

[jedibear]

Here's a recent look at Leia...taken outdoors with my new cam.

She is one of Sideshow's best and, considering the great detail in her costume, she makes a great preview of how cool some Hoth figures from Sideshow would be...

[JediTricks]

Nice shot, and nice new camera - judging by the photo.

[jedibear]

Thanks, and yes it is.

[JediTricks]

If you can, try playing with the aperture setting, see if you can add a feeling of scale by slightly blurring the background items in the camera itself. I've never done this as I don't shoot a lot of "things", but always wondered if it'd work on small items looking more realistic.
