Did you know Hasbro retooled the upper legs of Princess Leia Organa (Boushh) to make it shorter and closer to screen accuracy? The figure also received beautiful Photo Real updating and an all-new cape. See these things and more in today’s look at the latest figures in The Black Series Archive line. (more….)

Welcome to another entry in our The Vintage Collection: The Ninety Six column. Hasbro recently committed to collectors that they will be “focusing” on characters in The Vintage Collection that fall under “The Ninety Six” banner. If you’re new to this, it means that there needs a modern counterpart for every classic Kenner figure. Between 2020 and 2021, Hasbro’s made an admirable effort by focusing on these characters. But there is more work to be done, and we’ll figure out where we are step by step. Today we assess Princess Leia Organa (Boushh Disguise).

Here are our TOP 5 ranking Research Droids Reviews for February 2019. We rank reviews based on the total number of unique visits.

	#1 Saelt-Marae (VC132) – The Vintage Collection
	#2 Boba Fett – The Black Series Archive
	#3 Klaatu (Skiff Guard) (VC135) – The Vintage Collection
	#4 Princess Leia Organa (Boushh) (VC134) – The Vintage Collection
	#5 Luke Skywalker – The Black Series Archive

Behind the scenes, I calculate various statistics on what happens here on our site, just for curiosity. And I have to say you all impressed me. We had unprecedented first-day unique visits for The Vintage Collection wave 20. It seems all the hobby needs is a strong wave of Original Trilogy characters to get everyone excited again. Anyway, thank you for the astounding traffic, and we hope you keep checking back as we add more figures to this fantastic collection. If you missed checking out our larger-than-usual galleries of Saelt-Marae, Klaatu (Skiff Guard), Princess Leia Organa (Boushh) and Scarif Stormtrooper, please be sure to check them out!

The Vintage Collection Wave 20 stays with the Jabba’s Palace theme with the repacked (but “photorealistic” repainted face) Princess Leia Organa (Boushh) (VC134). Make sure to check out our full Visual Guide by clicking below, and make sure to check out our full review by clicking here.

It’s improved thanks to “photorealistic” technology! We’re talking about Princess Leia Organa (Boushh)! We’re looking at The Vintage Collection wave 20, the wave that should have begun the line’s relaunch! And don’t forget it’s our final year of Research Droids Reviews!

If you saw our very popular post “What’s The Deal WIth The Vintage Collection’s Packaging?” you know that we addressed multiple concerns we have for the visual aesthetics of The Vintage Collection’s packaging. One of the things we discussed was the Princess Leia Organa (Boushh) figure and how Hasbro didn’t contain the figure within the orange backer area. Well, after receiving our carded samples, we discovered that Hasbro has indeed corrected it. This is one positive step forward to get the line where it needs to be. THANK YOU, Hasbro!

You saw our sneak peeks at Saelt-Marae and Klaatu (Skiff Guard) figures, but tonight we have the rest of Wave 20 for you to check out! The Scarif Stormtrooper is more different than we first realized. His base armor is a little more yellow, and it appears that the dirt deco is differently placed. Princess Leia Organa (Boushh) is, of course, stellar and the best version we have of her now. Yes, that dang thermal detonator is permanently affixed to her left hand, but you’re just going to have to deal with it because the “photorealistic” technology is terrific. (Remember, these are high-resolution images, and you’re going to see every imperfection. Don’t let it taint your appreciation of her! By the way, this should have been the first wave of the relaunched The Vintage Collection. I think things would be very different right now had that been the case. Don’t forget t leave your thoughts about these figures in the comments!

Well, If we’re all honest with ourselves, The Vintage Collection hasn’t gone the way most of us wanted it to go. This criticism is not intended to undercut the incredible work Steve Evans did with the Saelt-Marae and Klaatu (Skiff Guard) figures (and the rest of the newness he’s brought to the line). In my opinion, he should be allowed to retire with how beautiful they (and the rest) turned out from most 3.75″ super-articulated action figures. Photorealistic technology begins this year for human/humanoid 3.75” figures. (We already see some elements of this technology with the Resistance figures.) All of that is well and good. But when it comes to The Vintage Collection packaging, it appears we’re not forging ahead as much as we need. If you’re a loose collector, please move along as you’ll likely find this post pedantic.
