Princess Leia Organa (Bespin Gown):

 

[Snaketibe]

I love this figure, so I really hope we see some good examples from forum members. My own will be up before the weekend is out, and tomorrow if at all possible (new photography and COO research required!)

I like this version of leia. On Palitoy cards it's one of the hardest runs to do!

This is one figure I don't own, she is on the list when I find a decent loose example

 

[Dad of Luke]

I had this figure as a child. No idea why I bought it when I could have chosen something like Boskk or a Snowtrooper. I bought it from the Preston branch of John Menzies with picket money, alongside a Medical Droid.

Both my kids played with my Star Wars stuff and she is long gone now.

Are the Tri Logos B and C's?

Are the Tri Logos B and C's?

Don't know. If I can find them both I can check. I just them because they are the correct figure and a miscard

I wondered why you had 2 TrimLogo's, I can't believe that I missed that one was a misscard!
Please don't worry about wether they are B or C cards.
Sorry…

 

[sith-smith]

No problem. It is a pretty cool miscard

Certainly is.
The Tri Logo "misscards" are extra special when you can see what went through their minds when selecting what figure to pair with which card.

I remember picking this up as a kid in Woolworths back in the 80's. They were selling 5 figures in separate plastic packs heat sealed together with no weapons. I'm sure Luke Farmboy was included too as he never had his lightsabre. Anyone else remember seeing these?

I have this figure loose somewhere, i'll post later

 

[sith-smith]

I have a loose one on display as well

I know that Woolies did 8 packs, not heard of 5 packs.

Just remembered I had another on display

Excellent stuff. I do love your dioramas! Thanks for sharing once again

As for my own Leia Bespins, my apologies for the delay, but I promise they are coming. The COO and especially cape identification on these are killers! I have 11 loose variants, including a nice addition I didn't have when TOTW last covered this figure, and after spending many hours on this already, I am making good, albeit slow progress. However, I'm nearly done, and once I am, I'll have them all newly photographed and uploaded as soon as I can.

More than likely was 8 then if that was a thing

Here you go, this may help ring some bells.
