Yeah, I’m really wondering what she’ll have too. If I had to guess only hands and a stand because she didn’t use anything else in the scenes she wore this outfit. I’d guess $220 as well but it’d be nice if she was less. The Hoth version was that price but has a blaster, goggles, and welding tool. The General version is the same price with only a blaster.
Someone had a devious plan 40 years ago of selling loads of small figures even obscure characters for 99p which kids loved. Then BAM 40 years later here's a bigger and gorgeous version of those figures but it'll cost you around £200. And we can't help ourselves.
If they can do WW , they can do Slave Leia
I think there might be a few of us here... I liked the outfit when I was younger, but I don't have much of a desire to have a figure of that in my collection now (regardless of how iconic it is).
That about sums up my feelings. I've read too many rationalizations about how it's an empowering outfit...
I honestly thought this was too obscure for HT to make, so I'm beyond surprised that they actually made a prototype of this (I'll be even more surprised if they actually put it into production). I love the Bespin Escape outfit (and skipped Hoth Leia for it) because there are so many great/iconic Leia moments in the movie with that outfit, but I kinda like this gown outfit more on a purely aesthetic level. Call it elegance or whatever, but I really love how it looks.
I have no idea how to display it (I don't even have a Star Wars shelf to build around), but I think this is an instant preorder for me. Just don't make me choose between the two Bespin outfits...
