From the Archives: Ki-Adi Mundi

Recommended music: Basement Jaxx – Where’s Your Head At

Catching up this #WhateverWednesday from the archives, we’ve got another Jedi from The Episode I Collection, it’s Ki-Adi Mundi!

Mundi is definitely a unique-looking alien from the Jedi Council. Unfortunately, when Hasbro included him in the 3rd wave of The Phantom Menace line back in 1999, they didn’t give the figure any knee joints. As a result, he can’t sit in a chair. This is why I picked this scene from Naboo and not the council chamber.

Also, the figure’s robe is not removable, and although the character never shows his lightsaber in the first film, this figure was packed with a purple-bladed saber for some reason. Mace Windu’s lightsaber is also not shown in the TPM, and his figure from the same wave came with a blue-bladed saber.

The Phantom Menace turned 25 years old last year, 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!
