Leia in Endor Gear - #191
- Thread starter GNT
- Start date
This is the most exciting of the actual reveals for me, even if I really wish it was an all new mainline version. It's not as iconic or needed as ANH Leia, but I'm always glad to get Rebel leaders.
Hopefully this and Bespin Escape Leia can capture her likeness as well as some of the Lukes and Hans have.

Slight disappointment over the re-use of the OTC body, would've liked ball jointed hips to better ride the Speeder Bike. But I will get her.

I will be picking this one up....
Nope. Patrick couldn't say when these would become available for pre-order.
Glad I am moving onto Hot Toys and reducing my Black Series and TVC purchases.
Death by a thousands cuts keeping up with all these repacks and not much value for your money.
Crappy cardbacks and no really great improvement to TVC is making it less enjoyable to collect them...
They have excelled in the Leia TVC sculpts like Boushh, and Yavin, so this one I def want...

I am buying 3 one to open, one to leave carded and one that will certainly be the smashed bubble creased card variant.

From the photos, its hard to tell if that's a photo real likeness, doesn't seem like it to me. I'm always happy to get another Leia figure, and I'll surely buy another, but I'm a bit disappointed that these slight upgrades are what Hasbro considers good enough for TVC. I feel like they should put in a bit more effort for the pricepoint. What I'd really like to see is this figure retooled into Connix from TROS!Press Images.
You forgot the two cancelled order variants.
The new head and helmet go a long way. My old OTC version is hiding in the closet because of the unfortunate head sculpt. Excited to see reviews for this closer to release.
hm...this one has weird body, proportions, right? Don't get me wrong; anything that offers up more Endor Commando customization options is a win in my book, but I hope I'm not paying for a neat head and a poncho.
In terms of figure choices, WalMart has been killing it lately.

Wow I must have totally missed that shot in TROS! Leave it to JJ to repeat again. lolFrom the photos, its hard to tell if that's a photo real likeness, doesn't seem like it to me.

Now that doesn't mean I wouldn't want a Connix figure, or of the character behind her in white/cream colored flight suit.

Never got this figure (mostly because the head sucked), so I'm happy to see an improvement. Assuming the body is just a straight up OTC re-use, though...
hrm. Helmet seems to be way too big/tall, and that is the wrong blaster.
I'll definitely pick up one or two of these.
The moment they announced Endor Leia I envisioned a new Ewok Celebration Leia coming to TVC and was quickly let down. I am pleased to get this upgrade to replace the VTSC one and I did want this, but it was lower on my original 96 want list since we already have a decent one on a vintage card. I’ll be picking up 2 and hopefully 1 will arrive in nice shape.

Be sure to order the first 3 on smashed bubble creased cards only so when that pre-order gets canceled it won't be a big deal. The you can just re-order them off the website 6 months later and get perfect cards shipped out in one day....Taa-daaaa!
Wal-Mart could also have an "Indefinite Storage" variant, where you preorder it online and then they keep it in a warehouse somewhere and never let you see it.

Does the "Indefinite storage version" come with the %5 off your figure sorry from Walmart Discount?...
For extra shipping you can receive the battered up cardback of your figure in the mail.Does the "Indefinite storage version" come with the %5 off your figure sorry from Walmart Discount?...

Well the head and helmet are newly sculpted, but the rest appears to be old. It looks like they repainted the arms, poncho, and belt, but everything might be repainted once we see it without the poncho, because even the pants appear to be a slightly different shade. I agree that Hasbro is being cheap with a number of these repaint / retools. A figure like this (not unlike ceremony Leia), shows that they aren't investing in new tooling for whatever they deem "good enough" to release again. I do think the figure looks improved though.
The copying was intentional on this one, I believe Billie Lourd requested it.

*They probably should've just made Connix Leia's daughter.
Worst thing about the figure is the exposed knee joints. Still makes you wonder why they deleted the re-release Revan figure, when all they had to do was add a more accurate head/paint even if they did not want to add new legs. Just stupid.

Easiest one to do would be FX-7 we have had a nearly perfect one since power of the jedi.
I'm hoping that Hasbro can work the same neck-magic that they did with the Yavin Leia update.
