15 Day notice for Illum Padme!

[Collector Freak]

You can always tell a Sideshow figure.

I just cut about a 1/4 of an inch out of the forearm and then pushed the glove on without the pegs.

Scary...

 

[Darklord Dave]

I absolutely disagree. If you mod the arms it DOES improve the overall presentation but it can be shown in a collection as is and be fine.

The skin tight suit and the fuzzy trim on the gloves make the longer arms very obtrusive and detract from the look of the figure overall, I feel. It's just more obvious on a girl than it was with Jedi Luke.

 

[D. Martin]

Just use the cape to hide most of the length.

 

[galactiboy]

Is that a tip from Ron Jeremy?

 

[D. Martin]

of course it is

 

[devilof76]

Whoa. I met Ron Jeremy a couple weeks ago. As if he just turned up in the Snow Bunny Padme thread.

i bet he would like to "turn something up" in snow bunny padme.

She's awfully small.

Or did you mean Portman? Somehow my brain refused to put Ron Jeremy and Natalie Portman in the same bed together. It was easier to imagine him trying to have sex with an action figure.

That' sick! *hides his toys with his pillow*

If you look at the art from the show the strings do come down to her waist (they're also black in the cartoon). And closing the hood that tight is what cinchs the likeness for me, as that is how she had it in the series.

Thats the beauty of having posable figures as opposed to statues, we can all display them how we prefer.

The reason the stings are black in the cartoon is that cartoons use black as a drawing tool. You'll note that even snowy mountains have a blackoutline, it doesn't mean they're all covered with a layer of dirt.

Making the figure more realistic I think you did right to paint the strings (I also think a real world version wouldn't have the pompoms hanging so low).

But its all about preference.

Padme with backdrop

Here is a quick background I made for Padme. Just some chunks of styro glued together and sanded down and put against a styro sheet then spray painted and "snow" sprayed.

Wow, very nice! Once she has a setting that works, she really isn't all that out of place.

Bumping this in hope for new pics of her.

There are only so many ways to shoot her with the posed eyes.
