Hey guys! Been wondering what the best collectible of Princess Leia was. Growing up she's always been one of, if not, my favorite movie heroine. Sadly I don't have any collectibles of her.

I was hoping someone could help me pick my first Leia collectible! :)

I'd like her to:
- Have a great likeness to Carrie Fisher (without re-paints if possible)
- Be in either her outfit from Episode IV (white dress w/buns) or Slave Girl outfit

Thanks for your help! ;)
 
The Leia (Episode IV) PF hands down...such a wonderful PF and a great representation of the character from that film.
 
Opinions are mixed about the likeness on the PF. To it looks nothing like Fisher. That said, most of the other collectibles don't really do a better job. There are some nice art pieces (lithographs, etc.) of Leia though.
 
I think the PF doesn't look much like her at all, but I'm a huge fan of the animated piece. The 1:1 is available fairly cheaply as well, if you want something huge (I only have the smaller one). Of course, the animated style might not be up your alley.
 
I thought Sideshow did a fine job for the 1/6 scale ANH Leia. It comes at a reasonable price too.:)
 
gotta agree with the SS Premium Format Leia, very under appreciated IMO - iconic pose, good sculpt, and a great exclusive (if you decide you want that) happy hunting!
 
1: GG Animated ANH Leia

2: GG Slave Leia

3: SS ANH PF

4: SS ANH 12"

No sculpture has 100% nailed the Fisher likeness, imo, so I'd go with this one

thanks for everyones help. I'm liking the animated and slave leia statues the most. The PF is really nice too, but may be too big.
 
The only problem with the GG piece is that the proportions of her face are kinda manly, unlike the Sideshow PF, which is beautiful. I don't think that perfect likeness is a relevant issue. Art is a representation, not a reproduction, and the PF is the best representation that I know of.
