QUEEN AMIDALA- Theed Invasion Bio: Queen Amidala is a skilled leader who is committed to maintaining her people's way of life. She is a peaceful leader who always looks for the solution that requires the least amount of military action. Although she has been trained most of her life to enter into a leadership role, the Trade Federation blockade and certain invasion will put her skills to the ultimate test. (Taken from the figure's Force File.) Image: Taken in the wilds in the home of Adam Pawlus' display shelves. Commentary: While one of many "statue" figures, Queen Amidala is one of Hasbro's finest from one of its most-loved eras of figures. Articulated at the neck and shoulders, this bright red figure adds an enormous splash of color to an otherwise drab shelf. As the only 3 3/4-inch figure that represents this costume, this is a must-own figure at almost any price. Luckily, it can be had on eBay for as little as $6 before shipping charges. Considering this is the most iconic outfit (or more accurately, most represented in marketing), this is a figure that should be in your collection. If it isn't, see to it that you remedy this before the month is over. Collector's Notes: No variations of this figure exist, and there's no rumors of a rerelease either. While excellent, the figure suffers from an inability to sit on a throne, which is a bit unfortunate as, to date, all Queen Amidala figures are standing-only figures, and there's a throne with nobody sitting in it with the Royal Starship vehicle.
