I agree with Jay and Ian, Lars, this is a great way to kick off 'Toy of the Week' in 2019. Good choice!
I've always liked this figure a lot, although I must admit I much prefer the flesh-neck version over the turtle/maroon-neck. If it only came in the latter, I don't think I'd care for it quite as much, but for some reason (probably because it's about the best likeness of Carrie Fisher Kenner managed throughout the vintage run, IMHO), the flesh-neck version has always been a favourite of mine.
There are lots of variants to be had with this figure, not simply the flesh and turtle necks, but also the thickness of the gold necklace on the flesh-necks, including my personal favourite where it is entirely absent, plus open and closed left hand variants, a pale or 'ghost' faced turtle-neck variant with very red lips, the 'blonde' / pretty faced Lili Ledy variant (which sadly I do not own and hence cannot show here; I'm hoping someone else on the forum does though and can come to the rescue!), there are cape differences, and of course a whole array of shades of brown for Leia's hair, ranging from light brown, through red-brown to dark brown and almost black. There's even a cross-eyed variant :lol:
Here's mine, plus a partially open Palitoy 30A, but which unlike Ian's terrific MOC, is still awaiting resealing
, plus a nice Palitoy 30B cardback.
