The 2018 Star Wars The Black Series Princess Leia Organa (Hoth) (#75) captures one of Leia’s most iconic looks from The Empire Strikes Back — her cold‑weather command uniform worn throughout the Echo Base sequences. This outfit defines Leia’s leadership during the early stages of the film, showcasing her tactical presence, emotional strength, and unwavering resolve as the Empire closes in on the Rebel Alliance.
Released as part of Wave 20, this figure arrived alongside Dengar and other late‑2018 releases. The sculpt is clean, sharply tailored, and screen‑accurate, featuring the quilted vest, padded jumpsuit, and subtle texturing that define Leia’s Hoth attire. The portrait is a strong Carrie Fisher likeness, with naturalistic facial proportions and clean digital face printing.
Leia’s Hoth look is understated but iconic — a blend of practicality and authority. The figure reflects that balance with a sculpt that emphasizes clean lines, layered clothing, and a confident stance. The included blaster pistol completes the display options, matching her brief combat moments during the evacuation of Echo Base.
