1/6 Hot Toys - Episode II: Attack of The Clones - Padmé Amidala

[MyenShi]

Yeah I love that artwork (accompanies the Thrawn Alliances book). Here's the concept art for the outfit in Clone Wars:

Only thing that might prove difficult is if they try to replicate the hairstyle (same one as the Padme pilot one). I don't see that being easy.

I really liked the cover when they announced it. Artist did a great job. Knew you were a fan when I saw your profile pic.

I like the outfit design for the series. Nice to see some color and a link to Leia’s ESB jumpsuit.

The braids shouldn’t be a problem for them. It’d be like the Black Widow solo movie figure.

Head articulation would be hindered a bit but oh well. That’s the price you pay to look good.

 

[NebulaSerpent]

oh wow, yeah I see that it's feasible to do that type of hair. Here's to hoping that they do another outfit version

Why are ere glutes so tiny? Unrealistic & not true to source material, back to the drawing board HT. More substance needed.

Great to see this figure and the PT featured front and center.

SS should probably do those types of ads more often, especially to bring in new customers.

That Anakin sculpt is insane!
Still blows me away!!

 

[Sithblade]

I don't think the artist would be as open now about a female characters costumes in Star Wars.

Yeah lovely how times have changed, it's nice not to feel guilty these days about loving the prequels. The new look of Sideshow's website though...

Those statements seem fine and totally acceptable? AOTC was (albeit clunkily) about passion, love, and seduction, so it makes sense that the costume design would factor into these things. The statements are fairly innocent and are just addressing how to do costume design in line with the themes of the movie and Padme's character arc in it with regard to her and Anakin falling in love. "Nowadays" isn't sex negative.

Nowadays, you could be blacklisted for expressing an intent to 'accentuate the female form or feminine features' with an outfit design.

Examples-
'What exactly do you mean female form?! Women come in all shapes and sizes.'
'The notion of femininity is a social construct designed to oppress women!'
'You're just feeding into patriarchal ideals and glorifying the male gaze!'
'Women are not just pretty little ornaments to be admired for the pleasure of men!'
'No women should have to dress up for a man and just because she is dressing in this way, doesn't mean any man has a right to interpret it as an act done for his benefit!'
'If you view the way a woman is dressed as an invitation to make a sexual advancement, you're a predator and should be castrated.'

You must only say 'We wanted to give her a look that says 'I'm strong and independent and I won't apologise for being this way! mmhmm.'
Learn the rules or pay the price.

Probably best to preorder her and Anakin sooner than later.

Is anyone going to look into customizing this figure to recreate “Battle Arena” Padmé?

 

[ErikElvis]

Was just going to preorder but when I actually looked I thought she looked like Millie Bobby brown.

 

[batsheva]

Well.. She bears quite a resemblance to Natalie.

I'm thinking I'll give it a go. I grabbed a second one for this reason. Im really shocked they didn't figure out a way to make this happen though

The Feminazis in charge of Lucasfilm probably wouldn’t allow it.

You mean taking a pair of scissors to your brand new $300 figure?

In this economy?

Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a run of torn shirts though.
