I'm a pervert i guess because i would love to own a HT Slave Leia.

Though Bespin Leia and Han are my favourite for each respectivly

So we'll get no Slave Leia and our Bespin Han will look like "Father of the Bride". FYI, I have no inside information on that :)

According to comic book artist J Scott Campbell on his Facebook page, Disney has banned the use of Slave Leia on all SW merchandise. Seems there will never be a HT or SSC 1/6 Slave Leia for you to own.

Not sure if this is Minnie, or if it's Mickey in drag...

J Scott Campbell That all being said, Disney at one point DID make this product...

I think it's all a misunderstanding. Only the gold Bikini is going to be banned. Leia will simply be illustrated nude in the future.

Where are all our female collectors? Don't they have a say in this? Are any of you ladies offended by either the outfit or the title of Slave Leia? I know the cosplayers are not. It's just too ridiculous for words.

Although a rebranding as Prisoner Leia may be the ticket. She was never called a slave in the movie only on the toy packaging.

They did it before.

Yeah, last time this came up, it's what I was thinking too. The outfit was always referred to previously (i.e. 1990's, early 2000's) as "Leia as Jabba's Prisoner" - that's what both Hasbro scales called it on the packaging (Unleashed just called her "Leia.") And yes, she's never referred to as a slave in the movie, so no problem there.

Then in the mid to late 2000's, the name "slave" seemed to creep in, maybe through fan shorthand via those popular SDCC "Slave Leia" group shots, and Hasbro then decided to follow suit, maybe wanting to give it some edge - several versions, up to the 6" version were all suddenly called "slave" Leias on the package.

The word "slave" has become increasingly hot button so it's possible the Disney red flag started with the use of that word, but then they realized there's actually a further problem.

The core of this banning story revolves around a Dark Horse artist stating they couldn't draw her in that outfit in comics anymore. To me, Disney banning it in that format actually makes total sense because those guys often take things way too far in the depiction - in essence, Disney is banning "artistic interpretation" of the costume by doing that. Even some statues, again artistic interpretation, are more suggestive than they need to be - i.e. they don't depict her as she's seen in ROTJ, but ROTJ crossed with a soft core movie.

My guess is they are banning anything that through artistic interpretation can be too racy such as comics, statues or even adult costumes, as well as the use of the word "slave", in lieu of products showing her simply as she appeared in the movie.

Bottom line is, she's heroic, kicks **s and kills the bad guy in that costume. She doesn't roll around on a bed or do harem dances (though Oola does.) There's nothing "Disney non-friendly" about anything in the actual movie, so it makes no sense they would ban accurate depictions of her in that outfit. Which is what a 1/6 or 4" figure would do.:dunno

All we have is third-hand rumor at this point anyway. IMO, it's a waste of time speculating.

I for one will buy her in every outfit if they do a good job on her. I would LOVE a Leia in Chains.

She was a harem love slave of a slug that she revolted against and killed. This is ridiculous for them to get bent out of shape about. It is so iconic that literally dozens and dozens of women (and sadly some men) dress as her every year.

As for the word slave, makes The Phantom Menace a bit hard to get around as your chief protagonist was one and his mother was as well and was a victim of Force Rape besides.

I'll spare everyone a political rant (because believe me, I could go there with EASE), But this thought police PC society we are building is a sickness. Okay, that probably qualifies as a mini-rant now that I read it. Deal with it!

Cheers!

I'm not even sure I'd call her a love slave. Yeah Jabba put her in a sexy slave girl outfit, but I really doubt Lucas intended her to be anything more than just another girl who entertained Jabba by dancing for him. Especially given the innocent and family friendly tone of the movie as a whole.

I don't know why Disney is getting all P.C. NOW. Mickey and Donald haven't worn pants in like, 70 years!!!
