Slave Leia maquette comes with adult warning

Well here is something I didn’t expect to see for at least another six months – the Slave Leia animated maquette.  Yup, it’s the tooned up version of the Star Wars heroine in her costumes that inspired many a fanboy fantasy.  It’s from Gentle Giant, the same group that is making the other Star Wars animated statues

This version of Leia has been, by far, the most requested character in Gentle Giant’s Star Wars Animated series. Cast in high-quality polystone, this limited edition statue comes hand-numbered, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

This is all well and good for the $85 statue, but it does come with an adult warning – not for the fantasies the statue might inspire, but the because of the pointy bits (the statues, not yours).
