More 12" Padme Wave

TRU east in Madison had a case of these on the shelf this afternoon while Ray H. reports that TRU west in Madison restocked today as well. My fear was that Padme's head would be too large. Instead, I think her body is too small. This makes her head seem big, but her gun belt seems really huge. You have to wonder why Hasbro made another Anakin figure less than a year since the first came out. Anakin has a new head sculpt (that I think is worse than the first), an additional lightsaber, "slashing action", and a replaceable robotic arm. His outfit is identical the first version. The Geonosian Warrior is a fairly nice figure. He is well sculpted, but lacks articulation since he is not based on the GI Joe body. He looks to be a little out of scale (large) to me, but definitely the best of the wave.
