I think this figure is really well done. The Black Series has been getting progressively better. Thanks for the video.

[@FugMan4]

I like this Padme! Glad to have her in the collection at last.

[@martinanderson8815]

Very pleased with this padme a welcome edition to the line

[@victorialimon6045]

This one looks really good from most angles, but I totally get what you mean about the eyebrows. They have that problem with the Marvel Legends line when they use the Photoreal tech too, the Loki figure from Thor: Ragnarok really suffers from too-light eyebrows, and the new Captain Marvel one does to a lesser extent.
Edit: I hope they do a Jane Foster one now that they have Natalie Portman's face though 😂

[@FenrirInFlowers]

I'm sure we will get a Jane for Love and Thunder. I still bought this Padme to make into a Jane figure in a specific outfit though. I just worry that when she arrives I will love her so much in this outfit that I'll have to get a second figure. 😂

[@The101genco]

Great review. So glad she's finally apart of the Black Series 6" line. It's about time.

[@ajc0480]

Got mine yesterday. Looks great next to maul and hopefully ultimate boba when he comes

[@ricardoa.eusebio337]

Apply heat from a hair dryer to the head/neck area or dip her in hot water for a bit and you should be able to pop it off with no problem.

[@teddybearjedi8865]

She is an Amazing Figure, Especially when you factor in the fact that She costs less than $20. I picked up the entire wave for $14.92 ea at Walmart. I think the Likeness to Natalie Portman is pretty Spot On, although I will say it does vary from one figure to another. With the Photo-Real Face Printing Technology being So Precise if it's off by a fraction of a millimeter it can really throw off the Likeness. I have had 2 of her, and Returned the first, which I had paid $19.99 for at Target, but the 2nd one I picked up at Walmart looks Perfectly like Padme. As for Her Her Cape, it can be removed. It's soft enough an pliable enough, that if You turn the Head around with the Bun at the Front of the Cape and Squeeze the Cape, it comes off over Her Head fairly easily.

I just got one on sale for $10!

[@petrikokko1441]

Neither is perfect but after receiving the BS Padme I know it's very difficult to catch on pictures but gorgeous in hand.

[@Zelkins]

Any tip to pull off her right hand? I'm struggling doing it, it seems almost impossible

[@VicDaher]

I really think that if the painting on the Black Series one had better shading like the one from Tamashii, it would look more like Natalie than the Bandai one!

[@skabcat242]

I got her awhile ago. Too bad the cape wasn't cloth.

[@matheah.3588]

I'm so so sooo happy they didn't make her with the suit ripped! And great review as always!

[@fanger54]

kinda want to get it just to make a black swan figure lol

[@joelrapp8436]

I really love this wave. Nice to finally have a Padme and Mace! I am also really happy they made a Holdo. The more Derns the better!

[@MarkyD1967]

Wow, I thought the BS figure was a decent likeness until you put the SHFA figure up for comparison. The SHFA figure is so much better, however I’m not a fan of the dulled yellowing of her outfit or reddish looking hair. So both are flawed. For best bang for buck value though the BS is the way to go.

[@MiguelGarcia-vj7oo]

Have you done a review on BS mace windu? He's The one to get.

[@VictoriasCantina]

I've shot it. It hasn't been edited yet. I actually don't love it, though.

[@MementoMoriIlluminatusDrStrang]

wait... her boots are the same as Leia's in Empire?

[@NathanLeeJames]

Mine only has one mole, ha.

[@KodFxTMMotion]

Nice

[@photomatt11]

Did you have any problems with her wrists? The ones on mine are super loose. She can’t even hold the droid blaster unless with both hands.

[@VictoriasCantina]

Not having any issues with the wrists on mine.

[@RockerMicke1]

I thought that was a paint error on that face

[@NESHER1972]

I still prefer the 3-inch scale, but not the 5 POA.
