I ordered this figure the day it was posted. When I click on the Order, the original Order Page comes up & allows me to Pre-order more. Perhaps that's.the.only way to secure an.Amidala, short of contacting.Kit .

too bad they weren't ambitious enough to wrap hair around the head piece

Does not work for me.Only when I log in. I've ordered this figure- When I click on "my orders" & click on this item, it shows I can still Pre-order it
The figure is in my order history (April 7, 2023) but "Product Not Found" when I click on the item.
Looks good to me. C'mon Kit n take my money.
Yeah, looks very nice. Still curious about the height relative to some other Star Wars figures.

For the price, Play Toy looks great.
I was considering the porcelain Queen Amidala (don’t know what scale but it was 16-inches) a few years ago but that was out of my price range - $4K.

Ok review. But why not pose her with other SW figures to give us a better idea of scale? Kind of frustrating.

Because I do not own any prequel figures and would never pose her with Mando stuff.

Anyone have a link for where this might still be available?

I asked Kit and he said there's no extras right now.
I'm hoping some people cancel and it opens up a few to buy (for myself and others).
Likeness definitely isn't as strong as in the proto pics, but I think the figure came out looking pretty fantastic otherwise.
Oh well. Tis' a shame.Because I do not own any prequel figures and would never pose her with Mando stuff.

Thanks! Just ordered mine from there. $159 shipped works for me. Now lets hope we see some HT companion pieces!
This figure is incredibly significant for so many reasons for SW 1/6 collectors - a real watershed moment. First it's exciting it actually made it to release, without Disney legal action to stop it. Almost curious as to why that was the case.
Second, it's remarkably good quality for a non-major manufacturer. Third, the price is amazing given that extreme complexity/ quality of the outfit and sculpt. This is no Hasbro Padme effort.
It's also so exciting that a third party company went to so much trouble in creating a quite complex SW fig all from scratch. There's been a few unlicensed 1/6 SW figs in the past several years, the most recent being Palps and the Royal Guard, but these were nothing more than recreations/recasts of older figs that were a notch or two below the original fig in quality.
There has been a few original SW 1/6 efforts such as the two different Leia slave kits, but both were only middling (some parts toward poor) in quality and they weren't a full figure in a box. This figure is night-and-day different as an effort to those for these types of companies.
So this figure makes you excited about what other SW characters third party figure makers like Play Toy might take on given how this fig made it across the line, and came out so well. Could this unleash a SW version of what unlicensed companies like Mars have been doing for brands like Batman?
My only concern is that the character spectrum these types of companies might consider may be limited to whatever the major companies are doing. Play Toy would have known HT has a major PT focus right now, and that TPM will get a lot of focus from HT (and maybe a bit generally from the media) with the 25th this year.
So their choices may be more linked to what HT is doing than, for example, a left-field OT choice (say a Veers or Greedo,) and perhaps more hero/main character focused than many deeper SW 1/6 fans would have liked.
