TVC Hoth Leia

On this #StarWarsSaturday, we’re staying in Echo Base during The Empire Strikes Back. From Star Wars The Vintage Collection, it’s Princess Leia Organa (Hoth Outfit)!

When Hasbro rebooted TVC in 2010, this Leia figure was the second in the line. Using all new parts, 12 points of articulation, light dirt on her uniform, and a decent likeness of Carrie Fisher, this was by far the best representation on the character in the 3.75” scale at the time of release.

“Oh, what about you need?” – Han

“(mystified) I need?  I don’t know what you’re talking about.” – Leia

At my #9 action figure release of 2023, I would like to say it’s the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Princess Leia (Bespin Escape) from Hasbro.

The head sculpt and face detail are this scale’s best 1980 Carrie Fisher likeness. The articulation has been improved from the POTJ version from 20 years earlier.

Unfortunately, this Leia figure actually came out in 2021, so she was not eligible for this list. So, let’s go with the Star Wars: The Vintage Collection Bespin Security Guard Isdam Edian. He is the guard on your left without a mustache. He is a big improvement from the 2009 version and was a 2023 fan channel release.
