Unless someone gets to it first, I can take care of you tomorrow Dave. I'm pretty sure Ki-Adi's in the big wide shot at the end of Phantom Menace, with Obi-Wan and Mace present for comparison.

Here's a shot of him with his back to Padme, though not being able to see his lower half, it's unclear if, though highly probable that he has an open-legged stance:

I guess he isn't as tall as we all thought.

From every image I've been abel to find of Ki the short or standard body are best to keep him to what he looks like on film. The only problem with him on the short body is his shoulder height next to the rest looks a bit off. I might switch him and obi-wan if starts to bug me enough cause Ewan McGregor and Mark Hamill are the same height and to me that should have put him on the shorter body.

All I could find:
It looks like Ki's shoulders are 2 inches higher.

and the back row is on a step.
Side note, that Yoda puppet is the one thing that I hold against the prequels.

I think that the Yoda puppet will be or already has been replaced in the TPM for it's next DVD incarnation.
Nothing wrong with him as a puppet, they just went too extreme with his "youth"

Actually that worked for me. What I read into that was that he was pained so much by the elimination of most of the Jedi (which we see its visual toll when he's on Kashyyyk as he grasps his heart) and his harsh isolation on Degobah, is what aged him so much. Like Indy said, "it's not the years, it's the mileage."
Well, i didn't mind him being younger looking, but the way they tried to achieve just looks too different from what he becomes, even if age had taken a tole. AOTC and ROTS look less worn than ESB/ROTJ but still look like him. TPM should be a big younger version of the AOTC look.
I think the puppet sucked. I don't care if they made him look too young or what, he just plain sucked. Yoda in the OT (especially in ESB) made you believe he was a living thing with wisdom to impart.
Yoda in TPM looked like he belonged in that dumb Dinosaurs show.
Just a terrible puppet.

You can mock the TPM Yoda all you want, but Dinosaurs was a classic.

I am still on the fence about picking this one up. I know that pictures do not do Sideshow figures justice usually, but that coloring around the eyes seems a bit overdone.
Thanks for all the great pictures so far.

Maybe so, but to create Yoda on par with those characters was pretty lame.
Ya, I'm just busting, I grew up watching that show, admittedly own the DVDs
, but I agree, the presentation of Yoda in TPM didn't come off as well as the OT puppet or the CGI PT Yoda, just something off to him, maybe not having done it for almost 20 years or something.

That paragraph doesn't make any sense...

Well, in any case, we won't have to worry. He'll likely be replaced by a CG version once the sextet is released on BluRay.

Actually they aren't. The background in this photo has been photoshopped, but the floor is not. I couldn't find the original photo. Perhaps someone else can. Adi Gallia is very tall, she's the same height as Plo Koon and nearly as tall as Sam Jackson himself. Yoda seems too tall in this photo, considering how short he seemed while walking down the corridor of the Tantive in ROTS. Anyway, it does appear that SSC's Ki-Adi-Mundi is about the correct size after all.

Damn, what did Dinosaurs do to you? They at least looked good for what they were, don't lump them in with that terrible PT Yoda puppet

Not sure how to make it clearer. I'm saying that the CGI Yoda in AOTC and ROTS looked like younger, healtheir versions of the OT puppet and that the TPM Yoda should have been a slightly younger looking version of that at the most and the design they came up with for the TPM puppet just doesn't look like OT Yoda could ever come from it.
