Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While it appeared in two sets, one was a high-priced UCS-style set (Ewok Village), making it harder to acquire for casual collectors.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head. Side one: Smirking expression with cheek lines; Side two: Concerned/determined expression. Hair is a Dark Brown long wavy hair piece (part 87991).
Torso
Reddish Brown torso with Endor camouflage/rebel outfit print. Features dark green undershirt detail, rank badge/insignia on left chest, and utility belt with pockets. Dark brown arms and hands.
Legs
Plain Reddish Brown legs without printing. These represent the trousers worn during the Battle of Endor.
Accessories
In original sets, she typically came with a small black blaster pistol and sometimes a cookie/round tile. In this image, the accessories are missing.
Color Scheme
Primary Reddish Brown with dark brown accents. The dark green undershirt is the only major accent color, mimicking her theatrical jungle fatigues.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back). The head printing is sharp with fine lines for the eyes and mouth. No printing on the arms or legs for this version.
Variants
There are several Endor Leia variants: sw0235 (2009, smooth hair), sw0504 (this version with more detailed pockets), and sw1038 (2019, dual-molded legs/poncho).
Condition Notes
Prone to 'torso cracks' under the arms if played with heavily. Dark brown hair pieces from this era can occasionally show stress marks around the stud connection if removed frequently.
Estimated Value
Used: $15–$25 USD; New/Condition: $30+ USD. Price is heavily influenced by the condition of the torso print and hair.
Price (New)
Advent Calendar (75023) was $39.99; Ewok Village (10236) was $249.99.

Character Background
Princess Leia Organa in her strike team gear for the mission to the forest moon of Endor to take down the Second Death Star's shield generator.
Design Notes
This version was an upgrade over the 2009 version, adding significantly more detail to the belt and chest area to better match the film costume.
Similar Minifigures
Luke Skywalker (Endor - sw0507), Han Solo (Endor - sw0492), Chief Chirpa (sw0500).
Collectibility
High. Anything related to the Ewok Village or original trilogy Princess Leia variants remains high in demand, especially for diorama builders.
History
Represents the middle-evolution of Endor Leia figures, moving away from the 'classic' yellow or early flesh tones into more screen-accurate detailed printing.
Interesting Facts
The hair piece used here was originally designed for the Harry Potter theme but became the standard for 'wavy hair' characters like Leia and Hermione.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside an Imperial Speeder Bike or within a forest MOC. Pairs perfectly with the Endor Han Solo figure from the same era.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are frequently used for MOCs of other female Star Wars characters. The torso is great for custom Rebel Alliance soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate figure that holds its value well. It is a 'must-have' for fans of Return of the Jedi and remains one of the best iterations of Leia in tactical gear.
