If you had to make a list of visuals Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace is best known for, Queen Amidala’s costumes would be right near the top. Darth Maul is certainly striking, the cities of Theed and Otoh Gunga are stunning, and those Naboo Starfighters are awesome, but Amidala’s dresses are more than just beautiful, they convey a power and authority that’s crucial to the character.
So, for the 25th anniversary of George Lucas’ first Star Wars prequel, Lucasfilm is releasing a Queen Amidala limited edition doll with that on full display. Seemingly crafted with the same care and precision of the on-set costumes, the 11-inch piece is a limited edition of 3,100 and costs $US130. You can display it in the package or if you take it out, it’s fully posable.
io9 is excited to give you an exclusive first look at the limited edition Queen Amidala doll, which will be up for preorder at DisneyStore.com at 11 a.m. ET on May 4.
