I only ever owned one Princess Leia action figure as a child, and this is the one:
Princess Leia in Boushh bounty hunter disguise, from Return of the Jedi.
This is the best Princess Leia variation ever and I loved this figure as a kid. Yes, even better than any slave Leia, Boushh Leia is strong, cunning, fearless and smart. Plus, she has a bitchen removable helmet!
More gals should cosplay this version of Leia!
I sadly got rid of all my original Star Wars toys years and years ago; we all have those stories of when we thought we were getting 'too old' for toys. Oh, the irony. But thank God for adulthood and no longer caring what others think!
I finally reacquired this action figure after many decades of absence.
She is missing her rifle but has her helmet, which is the most important
accessory in my opinion! It does after all complete the disguise!
She's no Carrie Fisher, but she's at least feminine.
I did once own the POTF Boushh Leia from when Star Wars toys had their resurgence in the early 2000s. I liked that figure a lot too, especially the sculpted thermal detonator in her hand. In fact, it had been so long since I had seen this original 1983 Boushh Leia that I had forgotten she doesn't hold a thermal detonator.
Otherwise this figure is flawless and one of my absolute favorites of the original Star Wars action figure era.
Welcome back, Leia!
"Thanks. Now will someone get this walking carpet muncher out of my way?"
