And Leia Was Boushh


Ah toys. How I love them. I've never outgrown my love of action figures. I like all kinds. Comics, games, whatever.

But there is one type of toy that no matter what they do always seems to hit closer to home. Always peaks my interest and with force like skill pulls my wallet from my pocket.

Star Wars toys.

Whether its silly little Galactic Heroes or Master Replica Light Sabers. I love all of them.

Now, I recently received a package with Sideshow Collectibles. Inside was black box with Heroes of the Rebellion on the top and a picture of Princess Leia as Boussh.

Glorious.

Check out the figure stats:

  • Fully articulated female body with 30+ points of articulation
  • Authentic likeness of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia Organa
  • Detailed costume including:
    • Jacket
    • Undershirt
    • Pants
    • Waistband
    • Belt
    • Traditional Ubese Boots
    • Ogygian Cloak
    • Bandolier
    • Impact Armor Mantle with canister pack
  • Accessories including:
    • Boushh helmet - interchangeable with Leia portrait
    • Thermal Detonator
    • Electrostaff
    • Gloved hands with spike detail
  • 12-Inch Figure Display Base with Star Wars logo
It's a stunning figure. The look is flawless. I've never been too big a fan of 12-inch figures. I personally only own 1 other, Freddy Krueger from New Nightmare (also from Sideshow). That one is a great one as well.


The detail of Leia as Boushh is perfect. Maybe Sideshow developed Willy Wonka like technology and pulled her right off the screen. The clothes, the weapons, I can't find a single fault. They even have a little homage on the helmet. I'll let you find it for yourself when you buy it.

This figure would make a fantastic centerpiece for any star wars fan out there. It is inexpensive and easily displayable.

Keep it in the great box, complete with magnetic sealing to keep it closed, or use the Star Wars display it comes with.

This is just the start of what I hope is a lot more coverage of various toys.

For more information on the Leia as Boushh figure, head over to Sideshow Collectibles!

Get it while you can, it's limited to 6500 pieces.
