I'm glad there are more Padmé figures coming out. (I love that pre Senate dress one). I wish there were more normal Leia's coming out. (Normal meaning 3 1/2 inch figures instead of Galactic Heroes).

There will actually be three Leia comic packs coming out sometime this year. One is Leia/Xizor from Shadows of the Empire, another is Leia/C-3PO and the third is Leia with some character I've never heard of LOL.

I meant non-Comic Pack Leia's. Something a 4 year old or a 6 1/2 year old might like. The other collectibles are hard to find and comic stores overcharge.

Not only is it a great year for Obi collectors...but lots of Obi in armor!! He's never looked hotter, in my opinion, than when he's in armor happy

*grumbles* yes I know it's only a cartoon but the realistic depictions of him are pretty hot! haha

OK good I'm not crazy then haha.

What do you gals think about the Sideshow Padme? I think the sculpt and the costume are good, but her eyes freak me the heck out. They did a good job of capturing Natalie's likeness, but her eyes look like Marty Feldman LOL.

She looks surprised, as though she walked in on Yoda getting busy with Shaak Ti :P.

Duude, I want that Asajj Ventress figure so bad. The Sideshow version is way too expensive, so it's really nice that we get a chance to get a 4.5 inch version of her. Did you guys catch the new Princess Leia figure?

Durge looks pretty cool too.

    Padme fans - be sure to check out the pic of the Padme vs Nexu diorama coming from Sideshow. Since the page contains user comments I will put a language warning here 'just in case'. No release date yet on this item.

    I'm happy because a fellow Rebel Legion member has found the Tycho Celchu fig and the Fireside Padmé for me and she's bringing it to Jedi-Con so I wont have to pay for shipping them overseas. grin

    The Padmé and nexu look fine, I've always had a soft spot for the nexu. I'm a bit surprised that it's the non-torn outfit, but I'm not complaining.
