Similar Minifigures
sw0076 (Classic Slave Leia), sw0082 (Middle Era Slave Leia), sw0504 (Boushh Leia).
Collectibility
High demand. This figure is frequently targeted by collectors due to the iconic nature of the scene and the fact that LEGO rarely produces 'revealing' figures today.
History
This 2013 version marked a decade of design evolution from the original 2003 blocky yellow version to a highly detailed, screen-accurate representation.
Interesting Facts
Due to modern brand guidelines, it is widely speculated among the fan community that LEGO may never produce this specific outfit again, driving up its value.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Jabba the Hutt (sw0402) or inside a custom Jabba's Palace or Sail Barge MOC. The 3D frame in the image is excellent for preserving print quality.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom 'Hutt Slayer' dioramas. The torso is often used for custom beach-themed or fantasy minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A crown jewel for Star Wars collectors; high value, high detail, and culturally iconic with significant investment potential.
