Female SW collectors

Agreed. I really hope Play Toys continues to make Padmes.

 

We definitely need both. I'd be happy with Padmes in the outfits that I had made as customs also.

Hot Toys announced an Obi-Wan in Mandalor armor. I somehow doubt we'll get a Satine, but who knows. Wouldn't make a lot of sense to only make Obi-Wan. The problem would be turning her into a real life figure without anyone famous to base her features on.

 

Recently I did a bit of reorganizing on my CW shelf and put a couple of dolls away in my Prequels display case. Here are the updated photos:

The Phantom Menace




Attack of the Clones (This will get updated again, my Hot Toys Anakin should be shipping this summer.)





Clone Wars (my Obi-Wan mini-bust's lightsaber broke off, I need to repair it)





Revenge of the Sith

 

Absolutely fantastic! One heck of a collection; thanks for sharing!

I have to admit, at a glance and before I read your explanatory note, I saw this shot, taken at this angle...

...and immediately thought Obi-Wan was holding a green lightsaber!

 

Yeah no green lightsaber. Someday I'll be able to get my room fully reassembled again. I have like 3 different sets of Clone Wars figures. I'm not sure how I'll display them.

 

Those are awesome displays and collections!

 

Thank you! I have enough items that whenever I can get my new bookcases I'm planning a shelf that will just be Anakin and Padme in the Geonsis white outfit.

 

Disney Store Queen Amidala is now shipping!

I should be starting my new job in a couple of weeks. After I get paid I want to put this girl on pre-order. I'm not overly sold w/ their Leia, but I like the Rey doll. The face is a little bland but overall I think she looks like Daisy and the outfit is nicely detailed. The Leia doll's outfit looks great, her face really could use some work.

I'm hoping if these 2 sell well, we'll get a Padme or Queen Amidala next.

 

We'll see how things go. I returned my Queen Amidala to Disney when it arrived the front side of the box that had the crystal display area on the box was smashed in. When I opened it up there was a large dent in the plastic and one of the corners was crushed. I asked for an exchange. I sent it back on their dime and am waiting on my replacement.

Normally I'm not one to cry about boxes but she's designed to be kept in box. If she was $50 like the rest of the girl dolls, I might not have objected and would've just bought another one. But at $129.99 - yeah no let's try that again. I just hope doll #2 doesn't arrive in worse shape

 

Mine arrived a couple weeks ago, perfect shape. I’m disappointed with the face but everything else is wonderful. At least the play toy face is spot on.

 

Yeah she's kind of bland looking, much like the original playline Hasbro version of her. The costume is fantastic though so I can't complain about that.

Still waiting for my replacement to arrive. (Twiddling thumbs.)

I also keep pestering my friend Morgan. I have a huge order of lovely custom items that she's sitting on and needs to send me. I sent her a Parts/ Fireplace Scene Padme doll for her to finish up, a doll to become Padawan Bell Zettifar (from the High Republic books,) Leia's green wedding gown from the book "The Princess and the Scoundrel", and a Padme to dress up in her tan and maroon Clone Wars pants outfit.

Once I'm fully working again (I start my new job tomorrow!) I have a huge list of figures for her to make. I want many of the High Republic characters, and I still have a few extra Padme dolls that she can work her magic on to get me awesome outfits for her. I do have to dole them out though. She gets swamped and overworked if I give her too many projects at once to work on. I also have 3 x 16" Tonner sized dolls that need Padme dresses.

I do want to put that Ashton Drake Rey doll on pre-order.

 

Got my replacement Queen Amidala. She is perfect.

 

Queen Amidala - The Phantom Menace Anniversary Deluxe doll from The Disney Store

For the first time since 1999 we were given a Throne Room Queen Amidala Doll - this time from the Disney Store. Doll came in a large, deluxe box with artwork that resembles the marble columns in the halls of Theed Palace on Naboo.

Doll is around 11". She comes wearing a fabric red gown, headdress, and shoes.

Gown is very well made with minute details to match the dress as it was worn on screen. The dress has quilted detailing and raised fabric. The gold designs are embroidered.
Headdress is plastic and painted gold and red detailing. She has one large "ruby crystal" on her headdress.

Doll has rooted hair and short black boots.

Face is white w/ painted detailing. Doll is securely fitted into her box, so I can't see much for her body. You can easily remove the box front and plastic cover to get a better look at the doll.

Overall I like her. Her face is a bit on the bland side, however, compared to the giant egg head that the Hasbro version had, she's an improvement.
Amidala has big hands which look a little weird, but they seem to be jointed at the wrist.
I feel they could've added a bit more of the fur lining or used some that was a little fuzzier to better match the on screen dress, but overall I'm happy. I just now have no idea how I'll display her. lol
