[Trivial Psychic]

A friend of mine grabbed this for me in the closing moments of Phoenix Comic Con today, and I'm absolutely stunned. This might just be my favorite Jedi figure released thus far, just barely edging out the awesome Kanan Jarrus, and is really well done.






No derpy eyes, well applied paints on the face, a sculpt that actually looks like Liam Neeson, and an excellent, dirty, sandy looking wash on the robes, and for the first time that I can recall, Hasbro is taking a page out of their Marvel Legends practices and including an additional, interchangeable hand accessory, which allows him to strike some really cool poses. My only gripe is that he doesn't come with a robe like Old Man Kenobi did.



One thing that really struck me, it looks like Hasbro tried out something new with the arms here, as traditionally, the Jedi characters tend not to get more than 90 degrees of bend out of the arms. As you can see in the photos, Qui Gon EASILY gets more than that, and while it's not double jointed like most of us want, it's pretty functional, and really adds to my love of the figure. It's definitely a step in the right direction.



I was worried that with the way the Jedi characters tend to come out, that I might have to get the Figurearts version of this guy, but after nabbing him, I think I'll be passing on that. If you see him, get him. Credits will be fine. Otherwise...he will find you....and kill you....
