Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Is the problem with her not being able to stand up due to how small the feet are? Or is it another factor? I had standing problems with an earlier release of Marvel's Scarlet Witch due to her being in heels and the small feet. Very annoying.

I imagine that they re-used those crappy Padme/Rebels Ahsoka/CW Ahsoka feet that make those figures impossible to stand.

The heels are most the problem. I have gotten her standing up but its precarious

Can't do much posing with out a stand.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Here the best shot to compare the book package Leia to book package Mara.

Leia's boot is larger and flatter offering much more stability.

Mara's is small and pointy.

Re: Star Wars Black Series discussion

Yeah I can see why she's unstable. I hate when they angle-cut the rear heel since it makes the foot far more prone to tipping backwards when standing. It's a very stupid design choice that demonstrates that the figure designer chose aesthetics over functionality.

Oddly enough, the deluxe TVC Dark Trooper, which comes with the power chamber diorama piece has the exact same problem, they put an angle-cut on the rear bottom of the base, making it prone to falling backwards even when you've got a few of them connected together. So stupid.

Yea thats definitely re-use from Rebels Ahsoka like I thought. I wish they'd stop using those 10 year old boots. They're terrible.
