Gentle Giant has announced its newest Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars action figure, and it’s the beautiful Bespin Gown Princess Leia Organa from Episode V: Empire Strikes Back! While escaping from the Empire, the small band of rebels aboard the Millennium Falcon sought asylum in Cloud City above the gas mines of Bespin. The city was managed by Lando, an old friend of Han’s, so the rebels thought they could relax a bit before heading back into the fray. While Princess Leia did change into a beautiful Bespin gown, she did not let her guard down while in the Cloud City. However it was too late… trouble had already found them!
For this release, Gentle Giant has scanned an original Bespin Gown Leia Organa 3.75” action figure and resized it up to its 12” jumbo scale as part of their Vintage Kenner Jumbo Star Wars line. The Empire Strikes Back Bespin Gown Leia Organa 12” Jumbo Vintage Kenner Star Wars Action Figure is fully-articulated, and includes a faithfully reproduced vinyl cape and her blaster.
The Star Wars Bespin Gown Leia Organa Jumbo Vintage Kenner 12 inch action figure by Gentle Giant comes packaged on a 1983 Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back inspired backer card (featuring original photos and artwork) with a plastic outer clam shell to help protect and display this awesome action figure. Collectors can pre-order one now through Entertainment Earth for $79.99, with free shipping in the US, here.
