Once again I must extoll the virtues of the Clone Wars microseries. One of the more striking episodes was when Padme and yoda detour to Illum to see what was up. Turns out some droids were trying to wreck the Jedi caverns where they get their lightsaber crystals! Luckily Padme, Yoda, Luminara Undulie and Barriss Offie take care of them before they can. Snowbunny Padme, as she was called, was one of the design highlights of the series, and really it is just her in her AotC getup with a fur cape. But genius! Hasbro of course released their outstanding Legacy Wave 2 last year and attempted a version of Snowbunny Padme in realistic rendering. Which was nicely done but not quite as arresting as the stylized cartoon version. Too bad they never made her in the little subline of statue figures. OH well. The main issue is sculpting and painting a decent face on a head that is like a centimeter big. So they did good enough! Her cape is well done.
