With either body, Leia’s upper section has great articulation, jointed at the head, wrists, and doubly at the shoulders and elbows. Even the upper section of her upper half can be turned. When on her fully articulated lower body though, she of course also has articulated knees, hips, and even ankles. Highlights on the articulated lower half are real cloth material and even a G-string situation going on in the back (did the old Leia figures have that?! I think I’d remember it, but I didn’t get them all). The boots have very nice detail, but beware that the golden belt and cloth sections are separate and can be removed, when you separate the top half of the toy from the bottom half. Could make for an even sexier Leia fig, but could also allow you to lose pieces. Leia’s solid plastic, reclining lower half is very nicely detailed too, and her upper half is fantastic, even having a decent face. The only issue I have at all with this figure is that Leia wears a collar and chain around her neck that is too short. Her braid is longer! So, you can’t take the free end of the chain and put it in Jabba’s hand or anything. Plus, it is not removable… Still, with everything else about this figure being so awesome, it’s a small complaint.

Leia comes with a skiff weapon, a goblet for her master, and being part of the fantastic build-a-droid promotion, the torso of R3-M3. R3-M3 is a great little Imperial astromech droid from Episode 4, I believe, and the only build-a-droid figure I’ve completed so far, ha. I love this build-a-droid idea, just wish these figures were more affordable. But, when I find one like this, I don’t mind at all. And, this figure seems to be rather hard to find, at least in my area, so if you find one, snatch it up right away! It’s well worth it! Or, I guess you could just order one here, ha. And, as a current promotion, you can save up the Proof of Purchases to order a Qui-Gon figure with an Eopie for around 6.99. I’m currently waiting for mine to arrive.
