A to Z Challenge: Qui-Gon Jinn

 It's 4/20, which means Legalize It!  Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn looks like he's probably toked a doobie--whatever the Star Wars equivalent of that would be.

In a bag somewhere I have the first figure of Qui-Gon from The Phantom Menace.  It's the one that came with a stand that could make him talk.

A while later they made a Black Series six-inch figure that doesn't have a stand to make him talk.  Too bad.  

Since he was only in the one movie and pretty much just has one outfit, they haven't made any other figures.  Sucks for him.

I wanted to get that boxed figure, but missed it. They recently reissued him but on a card a la the Black Series Archive with Ep 1 original packaging. It's an interesting blend of the original 3 3/4" package look with the bigger Black Series figure. They did him, Mace, Jar Jar, and a Battle Droid all through Best Buy as exclusives...sadly, Qui-Gon looks sold out, but the others show still available
