Gungan Warrior - WalMart Exclusive
- Thread starter Since1978
- Start date
My guess: a remold. Fine by me, I didn't get the TLC one.
Captain Tarpals maybe?
I hope he comes with the drum.
The more the better. But will he include the binoculars that were sculpted for the unreleased SAGA Gungan Warrior Accessory Set?
I'm excited for this. I hope it's a mix of the POTJ and TLC ones.
(I'm a Gungan guy, so I'll have to get two of these)

Looks like just a new accessory to me.
If he's generic, count me in for a few!
he should be. What other Gungans were there? I'll pick up 2-4.
I just want to apologize about this one. Someone at Hasbro told me that if I requested it, they'd make a new Ewok Village after the dozen or so Ewoks that have came out the past few years.
But no, they lied to me. WHERE'S MY EWOK VILLAGE AT? HASBRO YOU JERKS I'M TALKING AT YOU!!!!!!!!
That is all. Thanks.

another army builder. i hope they do a better job painting the skin
I have 3 of the Legacy Gungans. I want 2 of these to go with them. Combine 'em all with that Naboo plains battlepack from Target and I'll have the Gungan soldier set up I've dreamed of since 1999 now with all kinds of needed articulation.
I hope they fixed the leg stance on this one.
In the panel (which I attended) I thought they said it was all new, but that would be a surprise. There's certainly nothing wrong with the most recent mold so I would think that was a mistake on their part and that it's just the weapon that is new. Either way, I'm in for a couple at least.Revanfan1 said:
I like the fact the Gungan is getting out there again as I only found two during TLC, but some new tooling would be nice to set it part from the earlier version. Also would have rather had the Shield instead of the pike thingy.
I'm happy to get a couple more Gungan soldiers finally. If they retool it, fine, if they just repaint the Legacy one that's also fine because I really dig that figure.
def would b glad to add another exclusive to the collection...army builders gallor! haha
But Hasbro would need to change the belt. It doesn't make sense to include the horn harness on a figure that doesn't include a horn. That's one of the flaws of the upcoming Battle of Naboo ultimate battlepack exclusive to Target.Wookie_inked said:
I will definitely pick up a few of these, assuming I find them.
I'll probably get only one more of these single carded as I am planning to get the battle pack and already have a couple on my shelf right now. I wouldn't mind if they just re-pack the Legacy version (as most likely they will), it was a nice figure.
it sure wasAaylaSecurasMan said:
well worth the 10 year wait to get an ultimate Gungan soldier
the alternate gear of this new version is a welcome addition to the squad to add some variety in the ranks
Alternate gear? Does it come with a shield?Wookie_inked said:
Hopefully they didn't forget putting that integrate skin lining detail on the arms. The Legacy version was missing it unfortunately.
True, I guess when you upgrade to SA the finer details get left by the wayside.Tyranusspotting said:
Yeah, but I have a feeling this one will be nearly perfect. I guess we'll see.Tyranusspotting said:

I hope they don't cut corners with the skin deco on the SA Jar Jar...
You never know, but I doubt it. They can't afford to do this figure over again, since we just got one not too long ago.Darth_Satan said:
Generally speaking, when it comes to Hasbro lines recently, paint apps seem to be where they're cutting back the most, whether it's in quantity, quality, or both. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see that very cool pattern omitted. It looked great on the original Episode I figures.

With the prices we pay for vintage figures, they should all sport the proper deco.
Definitely!darth_sidious said:

I'm very surprised it isn't just a re-release of the Legacy warrior. New head and different torso for sure, as well as an unexpected and unique accessory (F****ein or something similar, right?).
I may actually get this now and was originally down for passing.
So.....this forum censored far seein when typed as one word????!!
For Far seein's Sake !

They could easily release Captain Tarpals by repainting him, and giving him a new head.

I drew the same conclusion.
Wow! What a great figure! I am totally getting a couple of these.
