Hot Toys Phantom Menace Jar Jar Binks

[Chainedstream]

Lmao. Call it what you want, but he added a different perspective on Tatooine. His interactions with Qui gon are fun (love seeing him grab Jar jars tongue with his reflexes), and I love going back and seeing the obvious Darth Jar Jar clues. He's even more interesting when you look at him through that lense as a deceptive character.

Just fooling around, Jar Jar makes for a perfect comic relief character, albeit would’ve worked better in the ST. I can’t stand the angry man in black suit.

What is this...?

Feel like most are gonna buy this out of how meme'd JarJar has gotten over the years instead of actual love for the character. I can never see myself spending $300 on this character.

What is this...?

Vader obviously. Everyone hates that guy.

People have actual love for the character?

 

[Wor-Gar]

It's tempting in that we've joked about it for years, and then... there it is!!!

But yeah, after a laugh, it would be back in the box to make room in the display for a better character.

 

[Asta]

What is this...?

Darth Tantrum?

Jar Jar should be retconned as Darth Plagueis in disguise working to get Palpatine elected to Chancellor.

It would explain EVERYTHING!

Lesyle Headland would've gotten away with it in season 2 of The Acolyte, if it weren't for those meddling kids on the internet.

That's the thing, something like this wouldn't go in with the rest of the collection. He'd be sitting on the edge of a random shelf. Would be fun to play pranks with.

Old Cinefex days!! Loved this magazine's covers.

The Darth JJ meme probably explains some of his resurgent popularity, even before Ahmed Best returned. At some point some people stopped loving it ironically I guess.

 

[Joe Prince]

How long before Darth Jar Jar?

Exactly. Put him in the bathroom, have him poking out from behind a curtain or something.

 

[Asta]

Exactly. Put him in the bathroom...

Like when the cops come round and you have to quickly flush your drugs down the toilet, except it's your friends turning up unexpectedly and you haven't got time to hide your Hot Toys Jar Jar ...

Collecting action figures is a bit like crack cocaine. Never enough. Some get out but then fall right back in.

It’s a great looking representation of a character I have no desire to own. But it really is about time he got made for those who do want him

Now where’s lob

He’d go great with Quigon, PT Queen Amidala, SS Obi, Darth Maul, and Hasbro Ani. You know, figures from the same movie.

 

[Wor-Gar]

This guy holding hands with Hasbro Ani is... well, it's just a crime. A crime of display space.
