The TVC Facebook Group had a chance to interview the Hasbro team at SDCC and they directly asked about the possibility to get a “Huttslayer” Leia in the future in light of recent releases like the new TVC Jabba and throne set. And brand manager Patrick gave a very clear answer: there is no ban on her and they could make her if they want to. But as usual he would not comment on yet unrevealed figures.

So according to Patrick there is no Lucasfilm or Hasbro mandate not to make Slave Leia action figures or merchandise and she is not off the table. Now they only need to actually update the figure. And the 40th anniversary of Return of the Jedi would have been a good opportunity.
The recently revealed The Vintage Collection Jabba and throne set has brought a question to the forefront again: where are modern and actually good looking 1/12 scale and 1/18 scale figures of Slave Leia or Oola? If you remember Return of the Jedi you will certainly recall that Jabba had Leia dressed in a metal bikini on a metal chain sitting (more like reclining) on his throne. The Black Series got a really horrible looking Slave Leia early on… and ever since then. Nothing. So let’s talk about that!
The Power Of The Force “2” [FlashBack/CommTech] 12 Inch Figures line was pretty good. Let’s look at the Princess Leia figure based on Return Of The Jedi.
