Beautiful pictures! Still rooting for this character to show in the Obiwan series even as a Force ghost.

In a flashback maybe but it was told in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Season 6 Voices" that Qui-Gon could not achieve physical manifestation since he was unable to finish his training.

He did show himself for Obi in the crystal cave (CW). Guess it was only possible there since a strong presence of the force.

Beautiful pics! Making me want to pose my Qui-Gon as well

Where's the cheapest place to get this guy at the moment?

Hurts to even think about it. My biggest regret aside from AOTC Yoda. At least I have ROTS Ani and Obi.

You can easily get this guy new for under 300 shipped still. Preowned $240 shipped. Look at Bst on facebook and Ebay. I would get him soon though. see douku and krennic

I really wanted to like Dooku sculpt. Big Sir Chris fan. Likeness just missed enough. Qui-Gon is better, it just made me remember that movie. Passed there too. Surprising how high some of the after markers are. If you passed when it was available I figure you really don’t want it.

Yeah I was planning on buying it from there but I saw him on a site called ToysWire for much cheaper but they didn't have a shipping option for NZ and after messaging them I still haven't gotten a response back about it, so I might just bite the bullet and buy from TBA.

Edit: Ended up just buying from ToysWonderland as they had faster shipping.

I need to unsee this, help...

 

[jedibear]

I deleted my recent photo. I hope it helped you "unsee" it.

Took the fun right out of it for me....

 

[DakRen]

Yeah the likeness wasn’t perfect on this one.

Lol what? sorry I didn't mean to. Please put your picture back up

No but very good. Great in hand, beautiful paint. Plus the whole set gives plenty of looks.
Don't have a camera that can do this justice, but IMO the fig does the character justice and you get your money's worth.

^^^Great diorama!^^^

I really like this portrait. But like most HT portraits, it's another one that is finely crafted with great paint that looks great from certain angles, and off in others.
Look at the debate that's raging over in the Bespin Lando thread right now! Same issues with that portrait only in my opinion, this one for Qui-Gon gets cloer to the mark than the Lando one does. (to be fair, still waiting for some in-hand shots of lando before making a final determination).

After my photo session in the desert with it, I'm more sold than ever on this figure. It really captures the essence of the character.

That second shot is Gold, Jedibear, GOLD!

More great shots that really show what a good camera can do!

I'd put the sculpt on the better side of most of what I own, which actually is a lot of MCU and ASMUS, Of course HT got better with time, but when I think about it the only sculpt I have that is a total 100%, eerie likeness is IW Bucky; maybe ASMUS Elrond, Theoden and Gimli.

Have a few that I don't think are as good as this, for sure. Or are as finely detailed/painted in hand. Then there's the excellent costume and accessories with this. The fig is a pleasure to work with. Am not doing much OT and mix it up on the shelf, so will see what the Obi-Wan series brings to go with (along with my original Sideshow Obi-Wan)
