I like the aesthetic of the divided skirt attached to the legs, it's very Kenner. But the arm pose isn't. If they were more straight at her sides rather than this pose, it would evoke the 'neutral mannequin' look of the vintage toys more.
Looks great, nice job and thank you for sharing this project. 3D printed Star Wars figures are going to be how we get those background characters Hasbro won’t do anymore. This is the future of of the hobby I believe.
It seems like the first leia was very kenner and carrie. Then when they got to empire and return it seemed like the faces were not as carrie but still kenner. The hoth leia was pretty good though. This Looks cool. As someone pointed out already the arms and straight down would remind me of early kenner.
I Would Say that Hasbro should make one for the Return of the Jedi line of the Retro Collection but since Disney is trying to stay away from her, I think that they'll do Darth Vader with Removable helmet instead. BUT they added her as one of the options for a black series re-release poll a while back so it's possible to bit unlikely.
I was going to ask if you would make a Huttslayer Leia to sell, but I see you already answered that question. Of course, I'd want a painted one. You did an AWESOME job!
I remember reading some action figure price guide book at Barnes And Noble once. It mentioned how every red-blooded collectobr would want a Slave Leia figure at the time they were released in the mid-to late 90s. Then there was something mentioned warning people that you wouldn't want your children's morals corrupted with that figure,so I think Kenner was just worried about the morals of kids.
I think other issues are to Carrie Fisher (now her family and estate). From 1996-2009 Carrie Fisher was alive and personally okayed Hasbro licensing her sexual situation action figures easily found at toy stores at the time where George Lucas owned Star Wars. At best would be another non-Leia likeness that had 2001's Power of the Jedi deluxe Leia and Cannon that made that an easy toy store clearance find back then. The winning Slave Leia Hasbro figure was done in 2009's Legacy Collection (can't buy easily under $80 today). It was repackaged in 2012-13 Black Series.
You're totally right about the vintage products having different outfits. I once saw a Return of the Jedi pitcher that was Jabba's Palace themed, (it was green plastic) and they had changed Leia's top to be a sort of cloth with stitching in the middle.
Yes, I have a cup with that design on it. And in the Jabba-related Presto Magix sets they used either Leia in her hoverbike riding outfit or the "ewok celebration" outfit, which makes no sense unless it was an intentional choice to avoid this outfit
I had one of the movie promo slurpy cups from Return of the Jedi it had a fat green Jabba and Leia in what looked like two piece silk pajama's. Today I'd say it looked more like something you'd see Jasmine wear from Aladdin.
Great video! I like the idea of a Kenner version of this Leia whom I prefer to call "Jabba's Palace Dancer Leia" it's the most accurate name I could think of for her.
Mine printed pretty well, but I couldn't make it articulated. I scanned my wifes head and made and painted a version of her in the suit since she cosplays it...and I even made a custom card and packaged it!! Me in my Boba too!
All your stuff is really amazing man. Only advice i would personally give is to thin those paints! This is super well done. I'm totally into 3d printing action figures.
12:56 I'm no expert at figure painting but I've found if you add a few drops of water to the paint, you have to do an extra coat or two but it comes out much smoother.
The assembly part of 3D printed figures seems like the most arduous of the steps because joints can be tough to connect etc. It seems so tiring and frustrating whereas painting seems more fun and relaxing.
4masteryoda It may partially be due to my own inexperience in terms of knowing the best ways to print and clean things. Some of the figures I’ve printed have gone together with no trouble at all
I would advice tonbuy an ultrasone cleaning bath, you can get those very cheap and with alcohol this works wonders in cleaning the prints before curing. I use ir myself in my printstudio
It probably would be very tricky with an FDM printer due to the thin arms and some other very delicate parts, but some initial testing that I've done has shown that many vintage figures will be more or less okay even on an FDM printer.
Generally, you want to print small items with fine details, like 1/18 action figures, on resin. FDM for larger, more linear objects like space vehicles. So get both: a resin printer to print these cool action figures, and an FDM to print vehicles for them. 😀
looks nice if it was actual kenner, theres a few things that would probably be different - the earrings would just be painted lumps on side of head, rather than fragile plastic loops - the bikini would either be molded as part of the torso, or made from that flexible vinyl 80s figures used for accessories (like Ewok belts)
Could be wrong, but, you know, not, the waist band is meant to fit over the groin while rotated nintey degrees, being rotated back into position after.
It really looks to me more like the hip piece is supposed to slip down over the top, before the arms are put on. Is that just an optical illusion? Seems like it would go on easily that way.
I'm sure I tried both ways, but in any case she is wider at the bust than at the hips so I don't see how going over the top would be easier. Of course I assume the designer intended it to be possible to slide it on one way or the other, so it might be that there was some shrinkage or deformation in my print
At this point I don’t sell anything, but I have had a lot of people ask similar questions. So I might consider it in the future. It would probably just be an unpainted version even if I did decide to do it
The main problem with squid head is that he has cloth in his costume, which is tricky to recreate. I have printed one but he looks kind of naked without his outfit
Faces are tricky, although vintage figures actually tend to have very simple faces, with just eyes and eyebrows. So you just have to try and get the shapes of those correct. For that you need some really good small detail brushes. I realized mine were getting worn out so I ordered some more after doing this figure
Thanks for the video. Nice job putting together slave Lea. I am new to the 3 d printing community just obtained a filiment printer as a holiday gift from my sister and brother in law. I had a vintage princess Leia organa that needed repair and tried using the finest smallest brush to re paint her eyes and eyebrows. No success she ended up looking like a monster. What brushes did you use and what technique worked to get the beautiful Kenner effect on the eyes if I get this slave Lea. Also can I print this model with my type of printer or are printing action figures only for resin printing?
Is there a single piece print for this? I am thinking of purchasing and printing this in 1/144, but it would be impossible if i have to print it in pieces.
I have had some issues with a couple of figures I bought from him, but I messaged him and he fixed it. so I redownloaded them and they were fine. So I guess if you message him he'll be happy to fix the figure. after all it is a business for him and he wants the products to work.
@@MightyJabbasCollection i don't think it's possible to prevent it, it's my understanding it's only 1 or 2% anyway and that better software automagically compensated for that. i just didn't know if various sized pieces had different shrinkage rates that you've ever noticed. ultimately, i reckon that as a practical matter it's really not a huge deal for most things....
I would love to do that but I would need someone to create the 3D model for me. I do have a custom Ephant Mon that I got years ago that could sort of pass for vintage: mightyjabba.com/2013/09/10/ephant-mon-resin-sculpture/
1st have name is LEIA not Layer. You think painting this small figure is hard, Try painting a AMT/ERTL Enterprise Refit model tiny hull lines of colour and such. That's Hard.
Agree but I want to offer that I think Octopus' intent was to design a style between classic 5POA with a sculpt that's more modern. (I see no reason to copy the crude sculpting of the old days.)
I used “Army Painter” acrylic paints. As for painting before assembly, I guess I’m not sure I see the advantage, and it would make it harder because you have to deal with a lot of little pieces. But I mostly paint models and not many action figures, so maybe I’m missing something
@@MightyJabbasCollection I see, thanks 👍 I thought it would be easier to to paint a lose part, cause you could paint it all 360° so to say, with out any other parts getting in the way. Example, the part on her stomage wont get in the way of painting her entire stomage, and you dont "risk" to get paint on other parts. =)
That’s true, but you would also have nothing to hold onto when painting things like her arms or head. You could always temporarily attach them to something else to help with that but it doesn’t seem like it’s worth the trouble to me
futuramayeah I agree that a cloth skirt would look more vintage, but that would also require you to find appropriate cloth and cut it, instead of just doing everything with 3D printing
Nice figure. I like the look but the ear rings would have never passed the safety test...swallowing hazard just like the 1985 G.I. Joe Zarana figure that had to be re-tooled without them.
I'm not sure "Huttslayer" is the correct name...how 'bout "Hutt's Leia?" It's better than "Slave Leia," but still accurate for the outfit she's in. In fact, that makes her even more empowered when she takes the slave leash chain and chokes Jabba to death with it!
Darn! I was hoping to see how you painted her eyes. How did you do her eyes and eyebrows? I did find this video, around he 16:00 mark; Toy Polloi discusses his eye painting technique. ruclips.net/video/R2sYVLjLpUA/видео.html

Do both Hasbro!
I loved this 3D print of slave Leia a lot.
I love it. I think this is far better than the Hasbro figures.
As Carrie would agree, her legs were quite loose around that time period. I love that lady. She was so funny and down to earth.
Really good job!
I want to see a life size leia!
ky .......search it up, “Carrie fisher in a bikini”
I was going to ask if you would make a Huttslayer Leia to sell, but I see you already answered that question. Of course, I'd want a painted one. You did an AWESOME job!
"Huttslayer". Of course. The technicality around "slave". Can it be done.
Wow. Your paint skills keep impressing me.
Nice design and painting too. Great.
Have to give you a thumbs up 👍 that paint job was done amazing

An airbrush for painting the base coat and first/flesh layers is helpful. It might have also helped to assemble this figure after painting.
The sculpt does look a bit off for vintage style, but that face paint job of Leia came out so impressive made it look much more vintage.
excellent job! well done mate!
Can you make a 'franchise killer' Rey next..?
Well done 👏👏

What about dr. Evazan Kenner figure?
Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing,!👍😉‼️‼️
great video again. wondering how the holograms would look with the light panel masked off everywhere but the bottom of Jabba and Leia's feet
Really cool 😉👌
Wow shes nice!
Looks great!
Well.... One certain thing is it's probably the prettiest action figure yet made

Could be wrong, but, you know, not, the waist band is meant to fit over the groin while rotated nintey degrees, being rotated back into position after.
Nice! Would buy..
Great job she looks amazing, it would be great if you sold her since not everyone has a 3d printer.
Of course he would need permission from the artist, perhaps giving him a cut of the sales.
That sculpt is almost too good.
It really looks to me more like the hip piece is supposed to slip down over the top, before the arms are put on. Is that just an optical illusion? Seems like it would go on easily that way.

6:28 If you soak that in some warm water it might make it slightly flexible.
Are printers confined to printing in basic colors. Can they do flesh or say all orange like a luke pilot?
They can, but I think it would still look better to paint everything
How much would you charge to make one for sale?
At this point I don’t sell anything, but I have had a lot of people ask similar questions. So I might consider it in the future. It would probably just be an unpainted version even if I did decide to do it
What price though
Yes please
Maybe Hana (Grojband) would dress as slave Princess Leia
You should make a 3D printed Squid Head or a holographic squid head!
The main problem with squid head is that he has cloth in his costume, which is tricky to recreate. I have printed one but he looks kind of naked without his outfit

Huttslayer my ass. She's called Slave Leia.
thinner paint, more coats, smoother

Why not boil the plastic a little to soften before assembly?
Have you tried heating resin prints? I haven’t, but I don’t think it behaves the same way plastic does (i.e. getting softer when heated)
are you tempted to print a life size huttslayer leia to go with your life size jabba?

Mighty Jabba's Collection was one life size enough 😉
Maybe. And honestly, a Leia probably wouldn’t be too high on my list if I did decide to make more.

Before you put the arms on would the waist thing go over the neck over her breasts or have you tried that?
