From all the costumes presented here, there are 10-12 i'd likely add to the collection were HT bold enough to put them up for PO.

Aside from the white jumpsuit from ATOC, the real iconic stuff is really about 3 ceremonial dresses from TPM. There was nothing very memorable from ROTS imo.

I did this joke already 60 pages ago, but that was before the figure was teased and now its been awhile since SDCC and still no preorder, so fair game to do it again. It's also taking way too long for this and Jango to go on sale. I also think it's amazing/crazy that some here would be willing to buy 20 different versions of this figure.

I look forward to the gag again right after SDCC 2020 when she's again previewed and not up for pre-order...

It's not like we need a new character figure when we can have another Captain America or Stormtrooper though.

You mean another iron man and trooper 3-pack.

I've been waiting *years* for a Hot Toys Padme, but I was rather disappointed by the pics from the SDCC. I'm not someone who expects absolute perfection when it comes to likenesses, and usually I'm fine with some headsculpts being a little 'off'.... as long as they are still aesthetically pleasing and capture the spirit of the character. But this one just does not do it for me, at all. No matter how much I look at it from all the various angles, it just doesn't feel like Padme to me. Imo, the Figuarts version is still by far the better and more sensitive depiction of this character. Like others, I'm hoping that they will improve the HT sculpt prior to pre-order/release, but also not holding my breath, either. It would be really depressing to not pre-order one after waiting all this time, but unless there is a MASSIVE improvement on this, I may forgo it entirely.

Yeah this was a surprisingly shoddy looking figure from HT. Hopefully it's just a very early prototype and it'll be improved dramatically when it goes up for order. I've never cared much for the character, but it would still be a cool look to have in the collection regardless.

I was just rewatching SDCC19 YouTube footage of the Star wars reveals...man did HT have a nice spread of the saga characters.
REALLY hoping this one makes it out the gate,and with a better looking sculpt.

Anakin and Padme are my 'thing', and I specifically collect figures of them both, and especially Padme, so admittedly I'm going to be a little bit picky and biased. That being said, I don't see why being picky about our faves is a bad thing... I mean, I do still really hope that this HT figure will pleasantly surprise me in terms of the final product, but the pics of the rushed version just didn't inspire enough confidence for it to be an instant pre-order.... at least not at this point. For others to whom the character is not so important, it may not be an issue whatsoever, but my collection is largely centered around Anakin and Padme figures and Prequels/Clone Wars figures in general, so it's just rather key from my perspective. As I said about the likenesses, I'm not a stickler for that -- the HT Anakin was certainly not a perfect likeness at all, and yet it was still a sculpt that had a lot of artistic merit as well as one that I felt captured the character well. Hopefully they can come up with a Padme that is a better match in terms of overall aesthetic quality. If not, it's not the end of the world, but just a tad frustrating all the same.

I have no interest in this particular figure but if it goes into production expect a major sculpt improvement, remember the first prototypes of the emperor? that went from drunk Ed Harris to awesome, one of the official episode 9 posters even uses a hot toys emperor photo.. most likely not on purpose

 

[jedibear]

I hope you are correct about an improved portrait. That figure presented during the convention season was really bad.
I'd still rather see the Theed Hanger version from EpOne first. At least she could be displayed with Qui-Gon.

 

[Skywalker-Saga]

Thanks, I do hope that is indeed the case with this one.

I wonder if improving the head sculpt is the reason this figure hasn't PO'd yet. It's been over six months now and no sign of it getting a release date.
