She was also the queen of Naboo in TPM, willing to risk her own life for her people despite her young age, the leader who managed to build a coalition with the Gungans to free the planet from the invader, the strategist who planned and led the final attack to capture the Viceroys. Not exactly a barbie-girl 😄
Hasbro seemed to think girls would want to play Barbie with Padme though. They made 12 inch versions of just about every outfit she wore in the prequels.
Now that I think about it, the original Kenner 12 inch Leia didn’t even come with a blaster, just a comb and brush! They even had fashion outfits planned for Leia before they cancelled the 12 inch line.
