I got my Qui-Gon Jinn and Eopie in the mail today and it's time for their review.
As a Hasbro redemption mail away figure, this set cost me 5 clone wars/bad/saga legends figure upcs and $6.99
This redemption offer is only available in the US and Canada. Sorry folks.
Packaged fairly well upon opening this set the first thing i seen was the great paint apps on the eopie beast figure. Also, it was bigger than I thought it was going to be.
The Eopie figure features a nice hard plastic body with matching hard plastic legs that have articulation at the upper joint where the legs meet the body only. Also, there is a joint in the neck which allows the beasts head to swivel on an axis from right to left. The reins are securely mounted but have a pivot point so that they can be displayed in the riding or pulling position. The baggage and saddle are molded on and the paint apps are nice and neat.
the Qui-gon Jinn figure as far as I can tell is a new sculpt and features a super arty body with a ball jointed waist and head. The head sculpt is nicely detailed and I love seeing the hair down with a hint of a braid in the back. Because of the hair, there are only so many positions you can pose his head in. The poncho is a soft goods cloth item which looks just right and is slightly sewed under the arm holes to keep it from flaring out too much. Under the poncho, Qui-gons mix of cloth and plastic soft goods at the waist is the perfect mix and something I would like to see more of in the future. Qui-gon's lightsaber has to have the most tight and precise paint apps of a lightsaber that I have ever seen.
It's a winner, folks! Hasbro has done very well with this one and I am glad to see such a great Qui-gon figure as I was a bit dissapointed with the one released when tpm came out.
If you haven't filled out and mailed in your redemption forms yet, you have until March 31 of next year to get it done.
"since I opened this at the top of the stairs which is my workstation, I had to snap a pic of Qui-gon leading Eopie past the boneyard of resin parts that I am working on"

Looks good, for the most part, I can't wait to get mine in the mail.
Might order a few more for the SA bodies.
-
Cant wait to get mine.
And I think I have about 7 more certificates worth of UPCs.
How many can one person order?
They used to limit you to one per person per household back in the day.
-
I didnt see a limit on the form. It does ask if you are a parent or collector.
I got two of these in the mail today, by the way.
-
Did we ever get any real guidance on what upc's will work for the redemption?
-

we did indeed, Doc. Any clone wars, bad, or saga legends single figure UPC from this year or last years lines will work.
I don't know about the clone wars two packs but I might try em and see.
-
*rubs hands together gleefully*
Not that I kept much in the way of pkging over the last year - I keep cards, not UPCs, silly me - but I have a few. Plus there's always more fig's I need to buy for BAD parts...
-
This one looks good Clint.

This one looks good Clint.
It is buddy, it is! Well worth the wait.
-
man, I had a big bag of packages, from when I opened up all my moc stuff a few weekends ago and when I got some stuff for a friend in France, all tossed by the wife. .. as garbage. ..lol.
-
Clonehead, what's the copyright date imprinted on the eopie's foot?
-
Is he just a simple re-paint or some sort of new sculpt involved.
-
Clonehead, what's the copyright date imprinted on the eopie's foot?
1999 I guess that means he is a repaint, huh?
-
another hasbro con :( "get the new (ahem 10 yr old) eopie and qui gon "
-
I did not get this 10yrs ago and I think I will wait another 10, why has hasbro lost there flair for making great toys and mail aways.
-
they did make quite a big deal about this at comicon for it being a repainted beast released 10 years ago. Did anyone get the original. Surely the qui-gon isnt the same one released back then.
by the way, I sent off another redemption for this, today.
-
The QuiGon is a rework making him SA but the eopie is a straight repaint.
I had both 10 years ago, and didnt like them... so I blew them up on New Years in Germany.
-
I'm going to be getting one of these, but I need to get the UPCs first. I only have 2 so far. It looks rather nice!
-
Does it have SA kenobi's body or am I imagining that?
Hasbro always cheaps out and uses repaints, we all know that, :(
Anyone else notice they own the toy aisle these days? Shouldn't we split them up like the bell?
anyway,
I sent off for one of these, mostly just to get a qui gon in my collection, I was late to the game and never got one, lol.
-
UPC's?......UPC's?........ i have these coming out of my A$$ and i cant do a darn thing with them here, if i had to guess i would have over 100 of these fricken things even more!! I HATE HASBRO AUSTRALIA!!!!!!! >:( I HATE YOU!!!!
-
You should send me some of those with your shipment to me, Trev. I have something I can do with em.

yeah, you and clint could work something out, I'm sure, send him the 100 UPC's, order 100 eopies, :)
now, that would be wild.
-
does any one have any scans of them from say the salucami clone or the coruscant clone as i think i more of them
just to see if they are the same im not sure if they are different from country to country ? i just don't know......
but i will send a few Clint...... ;D
-
TY buddy. I will take a pic of some.
-
Looks cool but I'm not planning
on getting it
-
Clonehead, what's the copyright date imprinted on the eopie's foot?

yeah it is BUT it's the first time American buyers have a non-ebay crack at getting one.
it was released in Europe in 1999 and was supposed to be released in the US but it never happened so Eopies were elusive till now.
I'll order one sometime soon
-
Oh, so that's why I never seen one at a store. Thanks for that info, NFC.
-
at least it did get released overseas, it DID make it out somwhere. See, there was something called a "skeeto" in the release queue back then too but it was cancelled altogether.
yes it was and "off screen concept" like a giant mosquito and padawan Obi-Wan to ride it would have been included... instead it got the ax and nobody complained. :) no, it wasn't same big bug as that crappy Can-Cell thing either. LOL
-
That looks pretty cool.
-
The one I destroyed was bought in Germany at the time of the movies release.
The Qui Gon fig was bad by todays standards, but far better than the POTF style followed by most early PTM figs.
The eopie was nice enough for an animal fig I didnt like.
Hoping to send in for a few of these this week.
At least one for me and for my son.
-
I ate my first qui gon figure.
anywho, once I get my last coupon I'll order this sucker in
-
I have 2 order forms, just need 4 more UPCs
-
I still have to get off my butt and get one ordered, I think I have the right UPCs, I may have to get to that today.
-

I haven't even gotten anything! Don't feel bad. This looks good too, my little girl would love it.
-
I always wanted to do a Pod Race, starting grid dio so this would be dio fodder, I still need a couple UPCs I dug and most are older, o well, guess I need to buy a fig or 2. I can use the BAD parts as trade bait anyway of I don't need em
-
yeah, I'd like some BAD parts, my r2 units need legs, lol.
-
If anyone has a redemption certificate and some upcs I would like to get one of these for my little gal for Xmas if you don't mind paypal, mo, or check.
-
Hey buddy I have some. I had started throwing them away. All I want is 2 of them.How many do you want? I threw 4 away yesterday.
