Personal Observations
Princess Leia in Bespin Gown is one of only three figures from the main Kenner line that my brother and I never saw in stores. I probably didn't get this figure until 30 years or so after she originally came out, but I'm glad that she is able to take her place in my old Kenner collection now. Leia, like most of the original Kenner figures, doesn't really look that much like the actor who portrayed her, but she was a good looking action figure for her time. At least she looks like a female! This was the first ever Leia figure made from The Empire Strikes Back, and only the second Leia figure ever. She has lots of detail on her removable plastic cape and comes with a long blue blaster. She sits really well, although if you try to get her to sit in a vehicle while wearing her cape, it will get a little crinkled. |
