Princess Leia Organa (Yavin 4) — Star Wars The Black Series #ANH 01
The Black Series Princess Leia Organa in Yavin 4 ceremony configuration — Phase 4 ANH Collection #01, 2021. The white celebration dress with blaster pistol. Photo Real portrait. Single-boxed release.
Overview
Phase 4 ANH Collection #01 is Princess Leia Organa in the Yavin 4 ceremony configuration — the white dress of the Rebel Alliance’s victory celebration, when Leia places the Medal of Yavin around the necks of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo at the end of A New Hope. The ANH Collection opens with the Rebellion’s princess at its most triumphant moment, in the costume that communicates resolution rather than resistance.
Blaster pistol. Photo Real Carrie Fisher portrait. $22.99. 2021. Single-boxed release.
The Yavin 4 Ceremony Configuration
The ceremony dress is one of Leia’s most instantly recognisable ANH configurations — the floor-length white gown with the specific draped construction of a formal occasion outfit that nonetheless belongs to a soldier. It is distinct from the white dress of the film’s first act (the Tantive IV configuration, functional, belted), and from the Hoth and Endor configurations of the subsequent films.
The Yavin 4 ceremony is the moment ANH allows itself to resolve — the threat is gone, the medal is given, the Rebellion survived its most dangerous hour. Leia in white at the ceremony communicates that resolution: the same person who was facing execution on the Death Star now stands at a ceremonial podium having helped destroy it.
Photo Real Carrie Fisher Portrait
The Phase 4 Photo Real production standard provides a Carrie Fisher portrait at the current era’s accuracy ceiling. The ceremony configuration’s hair — worn down rather than in the iconic double-bun of the film’s main action — is the figure’s most distinctive hair styling and communicates the specific scene immediately.
The ANH Collection’s Opening Choice
The ANH Collection opening with Princess Leia rather than Luke, Han, or Darth Vader communicates something about the collection’s scope — it begins with the Rebellion’s political and moral centre rather than its most famous heroes or villain. Leia at the victory ceremony is ANH’s emotional resolution; starting there signals a collection that will cover the film comprehensively rather than leading with the most commercially obvious choices.
The Medal Display
The Yavin 4 figure alongside the Red Line Luke Yavin (#100) creates the specific medal ceremony display — Leia who places the medal, Luke who receives it. Both figures are available in the Black Series at consistent production quality. The ceremony tableau is one of the most recognisable single scenes in the franchise.

Verdict
The Phase 4 Yavin ceremony Leia. Buy for the victory display, the ceremony Leia/Luke pairing with Red Line #100, or ANH Collection completion.
Carrie Fisher and the Leia Legacy
The Photo Real Carrie Fisher portrait in the Yavin 4 configuration is the Phase 4 collection’s tribute to a performance and a character whose cultural significance extended well beyond the films. Carrie Fisher died in December 2016; subsequent Leia figures carry the specific weight of representing a character whose actress is no longer present. The Phase 4 Photo Real portrait captures the specific Carrie Fisher of 1977 at production accuracy appropriate to the current era.
The ANH Collection’s Cantina-to-Ceremony Scope
The ANH Collection’s first six figures cover both ends of ANH’s social spectrum: the Rebel princess at the ceremony (#01), the cantina troublemakers and their would-be victims (#02-#03), the cantina musicians (#04-#05), and the film’s central villain (#06). The collection represents ANH’s world as comprehensively as any Phase 4 collection has attempted for a single film.
Leia’s Three ANH Configurations
The Phase 4 ANH Collection adds the Yavin 4 ceremony configuration to the existing Black Series Leia catalogue. The Red Line covered Leia in the ANH blaster-carrying configuration at #30 and the Boushh disguise at P2-16. The Phase 4 ceremony version fills the specific ANH closing scene gap. Three configurations, one film, the complete ANH Leia arc.
No production variants documented. Single-boxed 2021 release. The blaster pistol should be verified on secondary market purchases. The ceremony Leia is the most emotionally specific ANH Leia configuration — the figure that closes the film rather than the one that opens it.
The ANH Collection opening with Leia rather than Luke is also the correct commercial counterintuitive choice — the figure that rewards collectors who know the film deeply rather than the one that sells most easily. Starting with the victory rather than the hero communicates the collection’s editorial ambition.
The complete ANH Collection through #06 — Leia ceremony, Ponda Baba, Dr. Evazan, Figrin D’An, Nalan Cheel, Darth Vader — covers three distinct ANH locations: the Yavin base (#01, #06), the Mos Eisley Cantina (#02, #03, #04, #05). The film’s social geography in six figures.
The Yavin 4 ceremony is also the moment ANH earns its emotional resolution — the film spent its running time establishing the Rebellion as an underdog cause, the Death Star as an impossible threat, and the heroes as people with reasons to care about the outcome. The ceremony is the payoff. Leia in white giving the medals is that payoff’s visual form. The figure captures it.
Buy the ceremony Leia. The Photo Real Carrie Fisher portrait at the Yavin 4 configuration is the Phase 4 collection’s tribute to a performance and a character whose importance to the franchise extends well beyond any single scene.
The ANH Collection at twelve figures announced and six completed represents the most ambitious single-film Phase 4 collection. Princess Leia Yavin at #01 opens a run that will eventually include Luke, Han, Chewbacca, a Sandtrooper, and Momaw Nadon alongside the cantina scene figures already in plastic.
The ceremony configuration, the blaster pistol for self-defence, and the Photo Real portrait together make this the most complete Phase 4 Leia for ANH display. This is the figure that closes the film.
At $22.99 it’s also the ANH Collection’s best-value Leia — the ceremony configuration at below the standard Phase 4 price point.
