A New Hope: Leia Organa (with MSE-6) Milestone Statue

For old school Star Wars fans

Luke and Leia’s first meeting aboard the Death Star is commemorated through this striking likeness, which shows the Princess as she casts a wary eye on her rescuer. The sculpting is top-notch, with detailed paintwork that brings out the classic character as she appeared in the 1977 film. The included mouse droid is a lovely bonus. It may be a little short for a stormtrooper at roughly 10 inches in height and 1/6 scale, but she’s perfect for your grad’s shelf. $200
