    anyone know if padme's hood comes off??? i've looked at pics from different angles, and you can kind of see her head under the hood, but maybe it's just my imagination. anyway, can't wait for this one to come out!

    Does any one know where you can preorder the Padme from? I've looked on ShopStarWars.com and Things from another World and I can't find her.

    Padme again not being solicited on this month's Previews either.

    Anyone know if it has been postponed?

    Where did you happen to pick it up from? Were you able to get a good price on it?

    Did any of you order Padme? I wasn't going to but I gave in...LOL. Besides, she looks much better than the prototype I saw at Toy Fair. I really hope they do another wave of these. We need Anakin and Grievous!

    I pre-ordered my Padme yesterday. This one and the Obi-wan will be the only ones I get. At $80 I can't afford all 5.

    I picked up Yoda as well from my comic shop. Very nice sculpture.

    I got my Asajj Ventress statue and it rocks!

    Very nice sculpt. So far I am very happy with this line.

    I agree, they have done a fantastic job with these. Too bad these five will be the only ones...I would have loved to have seen a Grievous, an Anakin and a Mace.

    I picked Yoda up at my local Suncoast. It's well done and impressive. I can't wait to get the Padme, especially since it's likely to be the only Padme related CW animated collectible. The production numbers are so low on this one that it's tempting to order two, one for display and one for preservation purposes.

    My Obi-Wan arrived!! He is AWESOME! Best one yet in my opinion, but of course I'm biased...LOL. I got #1699/2500.

    Bring on the ARC Trooper!!

    I got the Yoda a month or two ago, and was pretty impressed with how nice it looked.

    I like how it's a non-action pose and shows the wisdom and mischief of the wise old Jedi Master. I think he'll look great next to Padme when she gets here.

    My Obi-Wan arrived at my local comic store but was not able to pick it up due to shortness of funds. :(

    Comics, video games and anime are pretty expensive hobbies around this time of year. I'll pick it up next week. I think mine was number 700 and something (mid 700's).

    Has anyone recieved their Padmé yet? She's supposed to ship this month and I can't wait for mine to get here!

    (Patience is not my strongest trait. :p )

    Haven't heard anything about ARC Trooper or Padme yet but my guess, if they're following the same shipping pattern as the others, is it will be the first week of December.

    SWshop.com and GG's website both say that Padme and the ARC Trooper ship in November, so I'm guessing they'll go out the week after Thanksgiving. Patience is not my strong suit either. I think I've been excited about this since I saw the cartoon. Yes, I know it wasn't announced yet, but I hoped they would do something of Padme. The cape looks really cool and I like how this is a variation of her battle outfit from AOTC. It's a nice continuity thing.

    Padme is a great contrast to the other statues on this line. Besides the great cape and costume design I think is just may be as simple as the color of the outfit.

    White with blue highlights works great visually. Very soft, retro and stylish.

    ARC Trooper is now shipping and Padme has been pushed off until December. I wish they would make more of these! Hopefully with the third season of Clone Wars coming out, they'll give in and make more...hehe.

    Yeah, I also noticed that Padmé is slated for December shipping now. *sigh* Her display place in our house is just waiting for her arrival. :)
