When we compare this rather plain and unarticulated Princess Leia (A New Hope) action figure to iterations of Leia released during 2007 for the 30th Anniversary Collection we have to ask ourselves just what has gone wrong in the intervening years. Has the art and design of Hasbro's Star Wars figures been in decline, or has the love for it dissipated? Perhaps 2007 was the golden age of Star Wars action figures (maybe with the exception of the Legacy, Vintage Collection and Black Series). Whilst this Leia is detailed and accurate it just doesn't go that extra mile to delight fans and collectors.

Putting this gripe aside, this action figure is actually fairly versatile in terms of display value and it has always been somewhat of a challenge to capture Carrie Fisher's likeness in an action figure, more so than for many of the other main characters so far as I am able to tell.

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.
