The Princess Leia Bespin Gown action figure seems to have been a bit more durable than the Luke or Han Bespin figures. The cloak however is quite rare now as (like all vintage Star Wars cloaks) once you'd taken it off and put it back on a couple of times it was very prone to stretch and tear. The shoes on this action figure always annoyed me a little as they look a bit too much like ballet shoes. I never really warmed to the Bespin Princess Leia action figure and there was also something off-putting about the colour of her dress and also with her shoes.

This is a rendition of Leia dressed for dinner on Bespin and not what she was wearing on arrival, in the Carbon Freezing scene or in the escape from Bespin scenes. I think a different outfit might have felt like it had a little bit more play value.

What's more Leia only wears this outfit for the dinner where the betrayal by Lando gets revealed. No one even gets to eat the first course (or even sit down for that matter) before Darth Vader and Boba Fett reveal themselves and the heroes are captured. Lucas rushes us away from the dining experience with a lightening fast disarming of Han and then we move to the next scene. The Star Wars movies tend to find food and meals a little bit of a problematic issue and you can read more about this in my article here: Food and Drink in the Star Wars Universe.html

There are two main variations of this Princess Leia action figure, one with a crew neck and one with a turtle neck. There are also variations in the pattern of Leia's vinyl cloak (see below).

All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.

All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
