Anybody have all 3 of these ladies in one place? Do the parts fit or is Slave Leia just too tiny?

Obviously she'll need to be Joe-ticulated...and she needs some stripper heels from one baroness or another.

Leia is a touch on the tiny side, but that's mainly with her legs (and the arms are a touch short, but not nearly like the legs are), so you can get away with the torso here. Perhaps even more so if you find some longer arms to use, but even then it's ok. The bigger problem with this combo is the head. That head is ginormous, even on full size Joe figures. Placed on the Leia torso, it just won't look right. I'll try to take a snapshot for you tonight.

I actually have all the parts you need here. The DT legs mean nothing to me (I get that figure for the torso only), and you can have them no matter what. The slave Leia torso I would use eventually, but I have 2, and this is a worthy cause, so yeah, I'd give it up (especially if doing so encourages someone to help me out with the TRU Dialtone torso/upper arms!).

I'm pretty sure you won't want that head anymore, at least not in combination with this torso, once you see it in action.

The head is the best option I can think of...If I need to do some "Shrinky-casting" I will...I just think that Lumiaya there has a really gypsy looking hair-do....and I don't mind the scars either.

I'm open to other suggestions though.

What about her head? I think it has more of the psychotic CB look to it.

Slave Leia is super tiny even compared to other Star Wars figs. You could use her as Scarlett's 12 yr old daughter though. Good choice on the legs.

I think Bad Ash is onto something with the other figure. I like that head better. You could even use the torso too.

The non-Nicole Kidman woman from the Golden Compass line has kind of a crazy gypsy look as well. But I'm not sure on the scale.

I was thinking the same exact thing, and I have one should you choose to use it.

I think I'm pretty sold on these being the parts to use for the final figure.

Thought I was at a stage where I could start sculpting and smoothing out rough details. but I think I need to shrink the thighs more. Having a difficult time figuring out how I'm going to manage the Thighs. If I cut any more off of them, I loose the screw. without the screw I pretty much have to glue them together on the hip-bar and hope I can sculpt and paint while the legs are attached to the waist....not something I'm entirely comfortable with.

Very nice. Excellent, successful mods to bring the figure together. Can't wait to see more.

any thoughts on the Thigh issue?

Honestly, i don't see any real issues with the thighs. It looks like she's wearing high-thighed boots, which works for me.

Nova --

what about some gold thread or wire to make some curly-cue designs on the legs -- just to push that design element through from the arms/torso/waist?

Either that or some lamb-skin to make it look a bit more rugged. I really like where this one is going.

So, Proportions and height don't bother anybody?
