It’s time to continue the 1/12 scale Star Wars action figure retrospective! Today I want to focus on four prequel characters and their figures. Darth Maul, General Grievous, the Battle Droid and Padmé Amidala. Are any of their figures an ultimate version? Which of the available versions is the best?

The Vintage Collection Queen Amidala (VC84), also part of the “worst reissue wave ever,” has also never looked better. Frankly, the figure is a work of art. (It was in 2012 too.) It received a couple of enhancements. The Photo Real on this figure is absolutely mesmerizing. We took the time to break it all down for you by producing an all-new 64-image gallery complete with both versions (2012 and 2021) featured, comparison shots, and a breakdown of what separates the two releases in the Collector Notes. Check out this exquisitely updated figure in our RDRs now! There’s more difference here than you may realize.

Hasbro surprised collectors in 1999 with high-quality Portrait Edition figures that still hold up extremely well today. Let’s go back more than two decades and check out the Queen Amidala (Red Senate Gown) 1999 Portrait Edition (3 of 3) figure. It’s beautiful. (more….)

One of our longer-running rumors has been confirmed just moments ago. Hasbro unveiled the Black Series 6” Padmé Amidala at the Paris Comic Con. Padmé features her Episode II – Attack Of The Clones outfit prior to the arena fight, so she has a clean outfit without bare midriff and a plastic cape! Tentative release date for the figure is spring 2019. Special thanks to JTA reader Matthew C. for the alert!
Update: Official Hasbro promo photo added!
Update 2:  photos of the figure on display added, the figure on display looks different from the one in the promo photo! Click through for a better look at the figure.

Cancelled Forces Of Destiny figures? Are you crazy? Actually, Entertainment Earth has just relisted Padme with a March 2018 release date now. We have heard that many of these were much too far into progress to just cancel them. Order now if you want her! Hopefully this one won’t get cancelled too!

The latest episode of Forces of Destiny is one of the best ones so far. This time, Ahsoka teams up with Padmé to fight an assassin. Check it out!
