9499 Gungan Sub: Queen Amidala reveals herself

Here are the first images taken from a video published by the site atamaii.com and who unveil the set 9499 Gungan Sub so far we only had a preliminary photo of the box and no real visual of the Queen Amidala minifigure.

We discover here the machine, which I find moderately successful despite an obvious effort on the curves. The evolution since the model released in 1999 in the set 7161 Gungan Sub is welcome, but there is still a lot of space on the side curves ...

We also discover the most anticipated minifigure of 2012: Queen Amidala. From what we see in the image, it looks successful. Anyway, given the general expectation, I believe that no one will criticize this minifigure, whatever the end result ...

The official description of the set:

Jar Jar Binks guides his friends Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn through the watery core of planet Naboo in the elegant Gungan Sub. Built to resemble some of the many creatures that inhabit the underwater world, the Gungan Sub features a large cockpit, cargo bays, storage boxes, rotating tail propulsion, missiles and even a mini-sub with harpoon. Includes Queen Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn and Jar Jar Binks. (465 pieces)
