what was the exclusive item with this again??

IMO looking at all the pics,i seem to like it a lot.it's different and should look great next to the 2Pk droids when they come out eventually :chew:chew

 

[MaulFan]

I can't wait to get mine. I was serious about hiring MauFan. That boy can take some pictures!

Thanks for the confidence dude. We'll see what happens Monday night, she's at my office waiting for me

 

[Memnoch]

Well I don't know when mine will show up. It was mis-sorted at the UPS hub by me and sent to the wrong area. Guess she's getting rerouted for proper delivery Monday.

The figure is an exclusive to Sideshow, so because of that there are no extra items just a smaller ES.

The eye direction isn't a defect or deficiency in the production figure. It's a stylistic choice that wasn't there in the prototype.

I think the feeling is at SSC that if there could be a perceived deficiency in the production figure they need to change the pictures. But since the figure is as good or better than the site photos, there's no need to update.

Unfortunately there is nothing noting on the box of it being an exclusive at all. Unless mine was sans sticker...

No sticker?! Say it aint so!

 

[The Mike]

At least mine had nothing. Not even on the shipping box mentioning an exclusive of any kind. You'd think they'd play up the Fan Choice element more...

My SDCC Vaderkin was missing his sticker, I guess that happens. But maybe there is just no sticker on this one... did the exclusive Endor Troopers come with stickers?

Brant and Nik did. Rodne was stickerless.

got mine today. and now that I have her, I'm a bit disappointed. WHY did they do Snowbunny Padme? I don't believe she won any fan choice poll. Its a dumb looking fig.

Yes, she did.

From the product description, https://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?item=2140:

In a recent poll, fans selected this Snow Bunny version of Padmi Amidala as the Star Wars Expanded Universe character that they most wanted to see as a collectible figure. In the true spirit of the Republic, the voice of the people has been heard!

STARWARSSHOP.COM are having a clearance sale and I grabbed this limited poster to use as a backdrop for my snowbunny Padme when it arrives. $15 if anyone else is interested...

The 'looking to the left' would be a nice if the iris' weren't dead center between the lids. But the iris thing goes for all of them.

I think what's making the eyes look off is that the eyes themselves are sculpted to look straight ahead. On the Padme sculpt, the eye ball is higher in the front then on the sides, it's slightly egg shaped and not a perfect ball. That's not a mistake, the eye is naturally slightly egg shaped because of the Cornea makes a bit of a bump. Painting an eye to look off to the side that wasn't sculpted this way would be difficult and would easily result in a wondering eye.

I'm getting a replacement because of the tear anyways (thanks for looking Josh), hopefully the eye issue won't be as bad on the new one.

Yes, she did.

So you voted for her?

 

[IrishJedi]

I voted for Snow Bunny Padme in the poll. Mostly as a protest vote against the rest of the EU.

 

[DeadMan-Mart]

I think she look nice, but I hope they will do one better...

 

[The Josh]

Finally took my pics shall be posting them shortly.

 

[The Josh]

Here's one from me. This figure just doesn't take good pics at all.

 

[Buttmunch]

You know a figure is bad when it doesn't get its own image thread or 3-5 notice thread

I still think the figure is fine, but yeah, she doesn't photograph well.
