I would imagine that this figure will be in the $220 range, right? It isn’t like there can be many accessories besides a set of extra hands...
Yeah, I’m really wondering what she’ll have too. If I had to guess only hands and a stand because she didn’t use anything else in the scenes she wore this outfit. I’d guess $220 as well but it’d be nice if she was less. The Hoth version was that price but has a blaster, goggles, and welding tool. The General version is the same price with only a blaster.
 
Best Leia figure now- really stunning. Next step needs to be Slave Leia which might top any Iron Man as HT's top seller

Hands can't see anything else, they didn't even eat at the table , so I don't see her coming with a plate :rotfl

Maybe a smiling Lando head " you look absolutely ravishing..you truly belong with us Among the clouds "
 
There is the huge pull of the vintage figure from childhood with this one.

Even though it was only a briefly viewed outfit it was worn during that uneasy moment of 'do we trust Lando' and the mystery of Cloud City. The elegance before the Empire reveal themselves.

This is a must have imo.
Someone had a devious plan 40 years ago of selling loads of small figures even obscure characters for 99p which kids loved. Then BAM 40 years later here's a bigger and gorgeous version of those figures but it'll cost you around £200. And we can't help ourselves.

I honestly thought this was too obscure for HT to make, so I'm beyond surprised that they actually made a prototype of this (I'll be even more surprised if they actually put it into production). I love the Bespin Escape outfit (and skipped Hoth Leia for it) because there are so many great/iconic Leia moments in the movie with that outfit, but I kinda like this gown outfit more on a purely aesthetic level. Call it elegance or whatever, but I really love how it looks.

I have no idea how to display it (I don't even have a Star Wars shelf to build around), but I think this is an instant preorder for me. Just don't make me choose between the two Bespin outfits...

I must be the only collector who doesn’t want a slave Leia...

:wave I think there might be a few of us here... I liked the outfit when I was younger, but I don't have much of a desire to have a figure of that in my collection now (regardless of how iconic it is).

No, you are not.

People are far too creepy and sleazy about it. Fanboys have made it gross.

:goodpost: That about sums up my feelings. I've read too many rationalizations about how it's an empowering outfit...

Count me among those not interested in slave Leia. Both Leia and Carrie were beautiful, intelligent, talented women. Her other less sleazy and obvious OT costumes reflect this more and are far more attractive in my opinion. I'd rather see her looking good and fully clothed. *Shrugs* It's just personal preference; that's the way I prefer to see and remember her. My eyes actually teared up when I saw this figure for the first time last night. I'll buy any OT Leia Hot Toys makes other than the slave outfit.
 
Once Lando and Bespin Han are released, we can all remake the "We would be honored if you would join us" scene. Hope ESB Vader comes with hands for that scene.

This fig is asking for a pose hand-in-hand with Han Bespin firing at Vader, Lando alongside.

C'mon HT - let's get Han and Lando up. It's been years of speculation and anticipation.

Now only Leia Bespin Escape and Leia Slave and they will have done pretty much all the Leias (except Ewok village, but that outfit is too obscure and a bit boring.) My guess is with the SSC new Jabba coming, Leia slave isn't far away.
