1/6 Hot Toys - MMS - The Phantom Menace - Qui-Gon Jinn

I'd only get a Prequel Palps if the base plaque says "The Senate"

It?d be kind of cool if his base was one of the floating senate circular platforms.

That at would be very impressive. In 1/6 it would be larger than the Delorean!

I guess that?s true considering multiple people fit into one of them. Too big of an accessory to include.

Yeah. It would be mahoosive.

Maybe the big reveal wasn't supposed to be until tomorrow??

Jango is a guarantee. Just a matter of when. He?s too easy for Hot Toys to not do after having done Boba already. I?m guessing we?ll probably get a prequel Palpatine at some point soon too. Since they?ve already done the Emperor version.

Im currently still holding onto the thoughts of Hot Toys will do a "duel release" of Jango Fett and Mace Windu, both of them would be released simultaneously, like they did with Doouku and Yoda before.

I caved and ordered Maul so I think I will have to add this and a future padawan Obi-Wan as well. Been on a big Star Wars kick lately and realized that Ep 1 is really the only prequel I have much nostalgia for despite its flaws as a film. Passing an all the other prequel stuff so far, but I would also take a red gown Amidala. That would make a pretty good quartet of Ep. 1 figures on the shelf. Oh hell, I?d also get a Jar Jar just for the silliness of it.

I was watching the movie tonight with the commentary, and learned that apparently Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan knew the entire time that Padme was the queen in disguise. Seen it probably 50 times now and always thought their reaction and look at each other when Padme reveals herself to Boss Nass at the end was just a look of surprise, like the kind of mild surprise that a stoic Jedi would show, but I guess it wasn?t. So I had always watched the movie thinking, man these guys are supposed to be Jedi, why are they so dumb that they haven?t figured out she is really the queen? But I had been wrong this entire time. Another example of poor acting direction from George, I guess...

I realized QuiGon exactly knew from the start that Padme was a Queen in disguise...10 years ago after couple times of watching. What does it has anything to do with Geroge's direction?

Yep, he openly mocks her on Tattoine when she's in the handmaiden disguise. Not sure Obi-Wan was clued-up. He was a wily one was Qui-Gon. Let's hope we get to see the old fox return in the Kenobi series.

"The Queen trusts my judgement"

"You assume too much"

So do you love, so do you.

Got to be level with you, it was hard not to read that in a Wigan accent

Ok...cool.

I thought it was interesting, at least. A quick google and reddit search shows that tons of other people were and still are unsure that Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan knew, for literally the exact same reason I mentioned: their reactions do not convey that they had known the entire time.

I always picked up on those little digs from Qui-Gon. So yes, it seems like they know she?s the queen as the movie goes along, but then their reaction to her revealing herself at the end was always a ?Wait, what, I thought they knew this whole time. I guess not?? Like they weren?t told exactly what they were supposed to be reacting to for that shot, or like it was another example of George inserting a shot somewhere that originally was meant to go somewhere else in the dialogue.

I always saw that they knew she was queen(They are Jedi after all, lol), and what they were surprised about was that she was revealing the ruse to Boss Nass.
They weren't surprised about Padme Being queen, but they were merely taken aback that she was letting the Gungans know. And i always assumed the look Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon shared was a "well played, your highness" kind of thing.

Has this hit the HK market yet? I almost completely forgot how soon it was coming out. SS still has it saying between January and March.

 

[jedibear]

I think a lot of the unreleased stuff is going to get pushed well into the new year... probably past the Chinese New Year.
That's okay. I'd rather see this one done well, not rushed.

 

[Bo Shrek]

I have my eye on this one maybe because there really isn’t anything else of interest for me in the HT World!!!

 

[starduster]

Yeah, I'm hoping for this to be released soon too.

 

[DarkChocobi]

Still a tediously long waiting game for this hobby. This one probably wont see the light until March-April 2020, HongKong based delivery time.
