Toyguide Update: MH17 Queen Amidala

The Yakface Toyguide updates resume today with the next addition for the 2012 “Darth Maul” product line. We continue with another new figure in the Movie Heroes assortment: Queen Amidala with Pull-Out Zip-Line!

PROS: Hasbro gives us a revamp of the Queen Amidala in decoy/handmaiden/battle gear we last got back in 2000. The overall figure looks great in terms of costume sculpt and detail. Zip-line backpack works well and harkens back to those Episode I Accessory Sets.

CONS: Swivel joints for the shoulders, while nice esthetically, limit posing options. No knee or ankle joints ultimately make the figure feel cheap, and it’s not at close to $10. Not one of the greatest Natalie Portman likeness considering the job they’ve done in the past capturing her sculpt.

Head to the toyguide for the full image gallery and to judge for yourself whether this figure is worth adding to your collection.
