Ahhhh, Illum Padme, the truly great debate in the "Do I get it or not?" debate. So strange an overall figure and not the most successful transition of cartoon to realism, and yet, who can resist such a wonderfully done sculpt by master Trev. Decisions. The only hope is, both Leia's were Andy B sculpts, so with a little luck, the next Padme will use Trev's touch, it's perfectly Portman, it's not broke, don't fix it, always use it. I still have her on order, I'm not like super psyched about the figure, but the portrait is so nicely done I can't resist it, unless the production paint apps bomb, then I'll cancel her cuz that'll kill my main interest in the figure.

I do hope Trev will even sculpt the face of Padmé Premium Format figure If Sideshow will produce the character in PF.

I have a question about the Padmé PF for you guys but I'll start a new thread as It is off topic.

Well I was a completist right up until about October last year... then I sold all my SS SW 12" figs in a fit of stupidness. I realised what i should've done is just buy the ones i really like... i dont really have the space and as for money... well...

Since then, I have re-bought all the ones I liked (most for cheaper than i originally bought them!)and left out:

Jabba + throne + Bib + creatures + Leia/Boussh - great set up and waaay to much space taken up for 1 character / scene / set up / whatever SS was going for

Endor Soldiers - i actually had the Strike Force bundle but never opened it, again space issues and not really essential imo

Plo, Assajj, Cmdr Prajj, Ilum Padme and Yavin Luke (although I may get one cheap and head swap with ANH Luke when he gets released) have all not made it onto the list... of course if i see anyone of these cheap i will get it.

My current choice criteria is 1.) Do i like it? 2.) Can I afford it? 3.) Do i really need the exclusive versions and can i wait for a much cheaper one from a local retailer or eBay 4.) Do i have the space? <--- this one is usually the decider, there's now way i could own the Jabba set even if i could afford it...

I need my own hobby room!
 
I haven't skipped any, so far. I've got them all, exclusive edition, although I do belive, that some of them where unnecessary releases. I'll never display 4 Lukes for instance, and certainly not if one version proves to be better than the other(s). I guess, the ugly dolls stay in the box, the others will get their well deserved place on the shelves!
 
I'm thinking of getting rid of the Chess set... I just don't know what I'll ever do with it. Right now its sitting in its box in the garage :monkey2
