The maverick Jedi Master who discovered the Chosen One, Qui-Gon Jinn, centered The Vintage Collection in late 2011 as part of Wave 10. Representing his noble yet defiant presence in The Phantom Menace, this figure was a definitive upgrade for the 3.75-inch line. It captured the weathered wisdom and powerful physical stature of the Jedi who dared to challenge the Council, providing collectors with a super-articulated version capable of recreating his fateful duel in the Theed power generator.
Technical Details & Sculpt
- Design & Masterpiece Sculpt: The sculpt features Qui-Gon in his traditional cream and brown Jedi tunics, with a specialized texture that replicates the heavy, woven fabric of the Jedi Order. The silhouette is tall and imposing, accurately reflecting Liam Neeson’s physical presence and the graceful yet powerful movement of his Ataru lightsaber form.
- Deco & Likeness: The 2011 release features a hand-painted portrait that captures the stoic and compassionate expression of the Jedi Master. The paint application on the long, flowing hair and beard includes subtle highlights to simulate a natural, weathered look from the desert sun of Tatooine.
- Articulation: Featuring premium TVC articulation, including ball-jointed shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles. The hip and waist joints are engineered to allow for the deep, wide-legged combat stances and the overhead two-handed lightsaber strikes seen during the "Duel of the Fates."
- Display Utility: This is the essential centerpiece for any Jedi Council or Naboo diorama. He is best displayed alongside his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi (VC76), or protecting Anakin Skywalker (VC80).
Accessories & Equipment
Qui-Gon Jinn comes fully equipped for his mission to Naboo. He includes his signature green lightsaber, featuring a translucent blade and a detailed silver-and-black hilt. A standout feature of the 2011 release is the removable soft-goods Jedi robe with a deep hood and a Hush-98 comlink. The fabric of the robe is designed to drape naturally over his tall frame, allowing for a "diplomatic" look or a quick transition to combat readiness.
