Princess Leia
Hasbro
1995
Certainly the most unattractive of the Princess Leia action
figures ever made, is it any wonder that this Princess Leia
has a scowl on her oddly masculine face? If the real Princess
Leia had a nose like this -- and a body by Schwarzenegger --
she certainly would have chosen to remain in her cell on the
Death Star.
Perhaps
we should be a little more forgiving of Hasbro's first attempt
to capture the essence of our rebel princess in plastic. But
what were they thinking? She has a very bulked up appearance.
The cape and gown are both of thick molded plastic. Both are
ill-fitting and prone to falling off during play. This Princess
Leia action figure came on two varying cards -- the initial
orange/yellow card and the subsequent green/yellow card.
Perhaps
anticipating the flack she would get from Star Wars toy collectors,
this Leia comes packing with a pistol and a blaster! Hardly
a kid or a fan pleaser, this Leia is perhaps most notable because
it was the first Leia action figure we'd seen in 10 long years
of waiting since the end of the Power of the Force line in 1985.
Let's just say we're happy to see that Hasbro has gotten better
at this over time. Leia, don't look back at this one figure.
You've come too far, baby!
