Comic Con Paris dropped a preview of the 6-inch Black Series Padmé Amidala figure, in her AOTC tighty-whites wear, due to be released in 2019.
The interesting thing is this quote from Hasbro’s Steve Evans:
“Padmé is one of many figures that we will look to represent in 6-inch scale from the prequel trilogy, which over the years has seen a renewed swell of support and fandom”
Hmm…
Surprise! Hallmark just dropped its first Queen Amidala Itty Bitty, in her iconic royal red dress from TPM.
Find it at your local Hallmark shop or order it here!

Funko announced its shared exclusive Pop figure with Hot Topic and NYCC: Captain Rex! Look for this bad boy to drop (if you’re not going to the con or don’t want to wait in line) soon!
Star Wars Authentics is a subsidiary of Topps and it has the current license to sell Star Wars autographs and produce official photos. Not only have prequel alum like Hayden Christensen, Ian McDiarmid, Ray Park, Temuera Morrison, and TCW’s James Arnold Taylor have autographs available, you can now get still photos from all of the prequel flicks and The Clone Wars.
(As an aside, back in July I was shopping at the SW Authentics booth at Comic Con and chatted with one of the reps. They’re working on getting more prequel alumni autographs and may land some new names soon.)
Do you have display space and a lot of money? Then Sideshow’s two new Darth Maul figures might be for you!
First there’s the Darth Maul Special Edition Sixth Scale Figure by Hot Toys that comes with various accessories and for some lucky collectors a holographic Sidious. It’s $282 and there’s an installment plan available. It’s due to ship the fourth quarter of 2019.
Then there’s the Darth Maul With Sith Speeder Special Edition also by Hot Toys that comes with well, a speeder. This version is $405 but it can be yours for $52.07 a month. It’s due out the fourth quarter of 2019.
And that’s just on the official Star Wars (You Tube) Channel. That doesn’t count other channels posting the same trailer; there’s one I saw with 425K views.
BTW, here’s a video of the SDCC panel room’s reaction to the trailer:
Anakin And His Angel posted a bunch of cool stuff for prequel fans (especially Anidala fans). They include stamp sets, pins, stickers, and t-shirts…like this brand new shirt from BoxLunch!
Earlier this week, Funko announced a series of Clone Wars Pops coming in August: Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Ahsoka (along with a Hot Topic exclusive version). There will be a shared SDCC/Hot Topic exclusive Cad Bane coming next month.
And that’s not all for Clone Wars news. Ashley Eckstein hinted a couple of days ago that there will be a Clone Wars clothing line for both men and women coming soon!
Meanwhile, Sideshow announced its SDCC exclusives, including a Hot Toys Dark Side ROTS Anakin Skywalker 1/6 scale figure. Yours for $265, it’s available for pre-order for attendees and whatever’s left will be on sale through the website after the con.
