Princess Leia (Hoth outfit)
Kenner
1980
One of the worst molds by Kenner, Princess Leia Hoth Outfit
makes our rebel leader look less like a princess and more like
a burly truck driver. This unambitious rendering includes a
jacket that is indicated merely by paint that stops just below
the waist. The only spot of color on the figure worth noting
is the Rebel insignia on the breast pocket.
Leia's
blaster is back to black with this action figure incarnation.
Once again there are two variations of this Princess Leia action
figure. In one version, she has reddish-brown hair, while in
another version her hair is dark brown that is more true to
her appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. Another variation
to note -- on The Empire Strikes back card, this action figure
is called "Leia" while for the "Return of the
Jedi" card she is known more formally as "Princess
Leia Organa."
Caution:
If buying this figure used, be sure to check the hairline on
this Princess Leia action figure as it is prone to paint loss
that bears an unfortunate resemblance to what we can only call
male-pattern baldness along the hairline above the hairline.
