Seems awfully silly to me... those pin-ups in the 40's are regarded as art these days - the Betty images on the fighter planes, etc.
They're a celebration of the female form - they're beautifully drawn and very flatteringly done.

What about Wonder Woman? That costume, simply put, is a bustier, knickers and some knee length boots... no one complains about that, do they?

I think Di$ney will see sense, once they have milked every other HT Leia incarnation, with only one place left to go for those extra dollars - Slave Leia.
Just sit tight and wait. Anyhow - the sixth scale collectibles are not marketed as toys for kids - so a slightly sexualised version for an adult oriented market wouldn't be outside the realms of possibililty.

There's a minimum age on the box of these figures - can't remember if it's 15 or 16.

For many people, when it comes down to it, money means more than their "principles".
 
I thought that was a rumour of a reactionary response to an over-sensitive parent complaining, which was then amusingly criticised by Fisher herself.

(Makes no odds to me, wouldn't be buying one - but it's quite funny if Disney have categorically decided to ban further Slave Leia representations. Had heard Disney considers Jessica Rabbit verboten now as well, for similar reasons of being corporately uncomfortable with the possibility for accusations of promoting sexualised characters)

Yeah, the sense I got is that the whole Slave Leia ban story was **** that was either misinterpreted or made up (always a problem in this age of non-journalism and "online sources" being relied upon.)

As far as I know, there was never any official statement from Disney stating it as fact, therefore it isn't one.

That's why, whether the ban is true or not, I decided to just put together my own Slave Leia:







(I posted this in the customs section awhile back, but just thought I'd share for those who don't frequent that particular forum.)
 
And here she is!
