This Kenner version of Princess Leia on Endor came with four accessories which included a small blaster (the same one used by figures such as the Death Star Gunner, B-Wing and A-Wing Pilots etc.), a removable helmet, a poncho and a belt. It's really quite difficult to get hold of them all these days. The only accessory which I don't have an original for to-date is the blaster.

The great thing about having the removable helmet for this Princess Leia Organa (Combat Poncho) action figure is that it allows you to recreate the moment when she starts to gain Wicket's trust by showing him that her helmet is nothing to be afraid of. Notably she also gains Wicket's trust by offering him food. This gives us an excellent contrast with the way in which the other heroes meet the Ewok's. They are captured by the diminuitive residents of Endor when Chewbacca reaches for food which has been left as bait by an Ewok hunting party. Leia gains the Ewok's friendship through the generosity of giving food whilst the other heroes elicit their suspicion by taking food which doesn't belong to them. It's very neatly done. See my article on Food and Drink in the Star Wars Movies.

So far as I'm able to ascertain, two distinctly diferent materials seem to have been used for the poncho. On one version the horizontal lines are more distinctive, the material seems less 'fluffy' and the pattern of the camouflage is equally as dark on both sides of the material. See the Leia on the right for this version (the poncho that I have for this figure does have quite a bit of ingrained dirt but I don't think this explains the variation).

The only variation of the figure itself which I have is the one with the datestamp on the trousers rather than on the boots.

Tip: if you don't have the original helmet for the Princess Leia Organa (Combat Poncho) action figure, the one which comes with the Endor Victory Accessory Set is a very good fit and even has the added detail of a chin strap.

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.
