You heard right, it’s another podracer pilot on this #StarWarsSaturday post from the archives. From The Vintage Collection, it’s Ben Quadineros!

“..There goes Quadinaros’ power couplings”🤪

Hailing from the Tund System, this is definitely one of the goofiest looking characters to grace the screen of anything Star Wars. It looks like a prune version of a California Raisin. It was also an alien that was mentioned quite frequently by film director and Star Wars fan, Kyle Newman, before the figure was made. The articulation on this figure is quite solid. This is fortunate, because I’m sure Hasbro will never bother to release him again.😄

The Phantom Menace has now turned 26 years old as of last month, and I “figure” there’ll be a new Episode I figure to share here for the rest of the year. Happy 25+ years of The Phantom Menace!
