Overview
Princess Leia Organa (Bespin Escape) is a Target October 2018 exclusive at $19.99 — Leia in her Empire Strikes Back Cloud City configuration, the white outfit and distinctive Bespin hairstyle worn during the escape from Darth Vader. 18 joints — ball-jointed neck, ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, ball-jointed hips, swivel thighs, swivel joints above and below knees, ball-jointed ankles.
The Figure
The photo-real face printing technology looks fantastic on this figure — capturing Carrie Fisher’s likeness accurately. The Cloud City hairstyle is rendered correctly, and the outfit captures all the details from the ESB Bespin escape sequences. No removable parts on the outfit. One blaster is included and fits well in both hands. No balance issues.
Bespin Leia in the Programme
This Bespin Escape version fills a specific configuration gap: the earlier Black Series Leia figures covered other looks (Endor, Boushh disguise, and others), but this is the ESB Cloud City white outfit with the correct hairstyle for that scene. The photo-real technology applied here is particularly strong given the distinctive and memorable face it needed to capture.
Secondary Market
Target, October 2018. One accessory: blaster.
Verdict
Princess Leia (Bespin Escape) is an accurate, photo-real Cloud City configuration at standard pricing — the face print and outfit details are the highlights. A necessary piece for ESB Bespin display builds.
