9499 Gungan Sub: Queen Amidala from every angle

CopMike unveils the Queen Amidala minifigure that will be delivered in the set 9499 Gungan Sub in June 2012.

Artistic side, nothing to say, it's successful. A reflection comes to me, however: It seems to me that we are moving away from the concept of the classic minifigure to pour into the over-stylized collectible figurine. The reproduction is faithful and the level of detail is exceptional. But if the head, chest and hands are LEGO pieces say conventional, the rest is more like model making than anything else.

Everyone will have their own idea ... Me, I remain enthralled by this exceptional figurine, so much so that I wonder what it comes to do in the set 9499 Gungan Sub. But that's another story....
