I found Padme at Target today, and I'm actually quite pleased with how the figure turned out, with the exception of one MAJOR gripe that really hurts the figure. The headsculpt looks good enough at most angles, and most importantly...much better in hand, and the digital printing is spot on. I also likes that she comes with both a droid blaster and her "noisy cricket" pistol. The problem with the figure is that the leg articulation is literally THE WORST I've seen out of Hasbro figure in over ten years. Her legs have almost no forward kick to them, making her nearly impossible to pose in anything but a static pose unless you really fiddle around with them. With some of the droid characters, I expect this, but with a character who was involved in all sorts of action sequences like Padme was, it caught me by surprise it was that bad, and it kills a lot of the joy I had in finally obtaining her in the first place.
