    It would be cool, but is doubtful. Politically Correct Disney banned any slave Leia merchandise almost immediately after they bought the franchise.

    Recently, in a feature in Interview magazine, original Star Wars star Carrie Fisher implored new Star Wars star Daisy Ridley, “Don’t be a slave like I was,” in reference to the gold, metal bikini Princess Leia wore in Return of the Jedi. Fisher, who previously referred to that bikini as “what supermodels will eventually wear in the seventh ring of hell,” must’ve struck a chord. A new rumor suggests that Disney and Lucasfilm have banned the use of Slave Leia in any and all Star Wars merchandising including action figures and comics.


    Incidentally, Carrie Fisher herself said this was stupid.

      no, I thought they put out a series of 5 point figures a few years ago. I stopped collecting star wars around 2001 but I sometimes browse just to see what is out and I seem to recall 5 point figures

        The first wave was all reproductions of some of the first twelve. They went up for preorder on Target last night and are already sold out.

                    Awesome! Better than I had hoped for.
                    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                              Not crazy about the worn-card look, and while there absolutely should be something on there to show it's not vintage, that huge-*** badge is obnoxious.

                                An army on non-yellowed Stormtroopers. Oh, yes.
