Princess Leia Organa from Jabba’s Sail Barge

Princess Leia Organa, sister of Luke Skywalker, was captured when she attempted to rescue Han Solo from Jabba’s Palace disguised as a bounty hunter. She was imprisoned and forced to be Jabb’s slave girl. She had to wear a small metal bikini and was chained to Jabba.

After the capture of Luke Skywalker, everything was in place for a daring rescue and when Luke, Han and Chewbacca were about to be thrown into the sarlacc pit, Luke’s plan was set into action. During the confusion of the battle on the skifs, Leia managed to strangle Jabba with the chain that was keeping her captive. R2-D2 then cut the chains and Leia was able to escape with Luke after blowing up the sail barge.

As LEGO figures go, I think the designers must have struggled a bit with this one. The bikini and the effect of trying to make Leia look thin are pushing it a little, but this will be a very collectable figure in the future, so an asset to my growing collection.
