Winding up this #WhateverWednesday from the archives, we’ve got one last Jedi from The Saga Collection, it’s Mace Windu!
Windu is one of the more recognizable members of the Jedi Council due to being portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson. Windu was the first character from The Phantom Menace to be released as an action figure, included as a sneak preview at the tail end of the Power of the Force 2 line in 1998. By 2003, when this Jedi Council version was released, the character already had several unique figures.
The good part about this figure’s inclusion in the 3-pack with Even Piell and Oppo Rancisis is that it includes his chair, knee joints, and a soft goods skirt piece so he can actually sit in the chair. Unfortunately, the chair is too short, he only has one elbow joint, the sleeve color does not match the tunic, and he is missing a robe and a lightsaber, even though his hands are sculpted to hold one. These are all reasons keeping this particular figure from being the best TPM version of the character at the time.
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!
