Hot Toys Phantom Menace Jar Jar Binks

YES!!! FINALLY WE HAVE STRUCK GOLD!!!

Out of the 6 Star Wars films TPM is my least favourite, it’s not bad, the opening act, tatooine, and coruscant were amazing. The last act besides Darth Maul was a bit of let down.

Bring on little Ani and Queen Amidala of the Naboo!!!

The historical revisionist posts on this thread are mind blowing....

Possible JarJar is the worst thing to ever happen to Star Wars. And we have a lot to choose from now.

To me , it's like someday people cheering these releases.....

I mean you're wrong, Jar Jar Binks is iconic, even if you hate him you know who he is

They don't make for good memes. Jar Jar has an ironic appeal the others very much don't, plus he looks visually interesting.

I don't mind the Ewoks either. Really the only child-appealing cashgrab characters I dislike are the Porgs and... Grogu. *ducks flames*

Nass-ty!

I sold my Hasbro 12" Nass and Watto figs on ebay years ago and I regret it to this day.

My Hasbro Jar Jar is on the bottom shelf of a PT Detolf along with one of those many Hasbro Amedalas. It’s one of the few $20 figures that actually looks ok on the shelf. I still have Watto and Nass in storage but they didn’t make the display cut as space became more precious. I’ll most likely upgrade my Jar Jar and look forward to side by side comparisons….

Seamless rubber body AND pleather? Oh weeza info a treat!

I think you're missing a key point that a ton of kids actually liked JarJar, bless those juvenile minds now distorting grown brains, and he was also a key part of being swept up in the heady halcyon days that were "the grand return of SW."

On the other hand, no one but a few hundred Twitter zealot ideologues actually liked Holdo and Rose. And in 25 years time, those OG Twitter zealots will be in their 50s (hair now pragmatically dyed purple/pink to cover grey) and too busy supervising campus struggle sessions/show trials to buy bourgeois $750 1/6 scale Holdos and Roses.

are you all genuinely excited for this or are people happy about this in an 'ironically' kind of way?

Genuinely happy. Not my favorite movie, but I appreciate it for what it is. Some parts I like and some I cringe at. I’m always glad when different figures are made rather than the same old vaders and fetts.!!

Looks good even though it's hard to not make him toy like. Im fine with Jar Jar, but if they release "death sticks seller man" before Bespin Han, I will literally run amuck.

Oh I know exactly what I am saying. As I was 20 when the PT came out and waited in front of the theater 12 hours to see that steaming pile that was TPM.

I have said this many many time on this very forum, which evicerated the new trilogy, that this film would be endearing to a certain subset of kids that saw it at a particular age and had some core memories from it.

I respect that nostalgia laden lenses, as a lot of what we covet from our childhood is really rubbish.

But my point stands. The ST will someday be looked at fondly and some people do with the clearly awful PT.

And this terrible joke of a character has no business on my shelf .....I'd rather have the two headed announcer guy.
