Never understimate the power of capitalism and inflation. Anyway, I have a feeling we'll be seeing this SOB at Hasbro Pulse Con in a couple weeks. And I've got this thread bookmarked, so I'll check in later.
And he comes with a staff, energy shield, and one of those "booma" things. And that's it.
I'm thinking maybe he'll come with the market stand and the animal he tried to eat and an alternate head with the tongue sticking out.

43 minutes ago, jlavaia said:cause that same yoda is 19.99 when its single packed. look at all of hasbros 39.99 figure and vehicle/creature sets though, kaadu is smaller than all of them. what else can possibly make a jar jar figure 29.99?
maybe hes coming with one of the water cannons the gungans used? i dont remember him shooting one though but its been a long time since i saw phantom menace.
Yoda is like a 1/6th of the size of a Kaadu, is what I'm saying. And a Kaadu is larger than a regular figure, quite significantly, and they don't sell two packs for less than $40. If Jar Jar is a "Deluxe" figure at $29.99 he'll have extra heads if there's anything extra at all to justify that price. There might not be.
Great more target exclusives I will never get my hands on because the scalpers will buy them all first, thanks a lot Hasbro.

Thinner, but about the same height. They won't even sell a two-pack with Luke and Yoda for less than $39.99 At $29.99, Jar Jar will not come with an animal to ride that is larger than he is. I guarantee it. Well, not before it hits clearance.
7 minutes ago, jlavaia said:idk, hasbro made omega ranger and his bike for $30, should be similiar size.
That bike is about half the size of a kaadu. Jar Jar and a Kaadu would be the equivalent of Han Solo and a Tauntaun, which sold for $40 five years ago. No way this is happening.
$29.99 seems too cheap for Jar Jar and a kaadu. They're kinda large.
Extra heads. One "stupid" facial expression, one "really stupid" facial expression, and a third "incredibly stupid" facial expression. And maybe several pairs of hands that make obscene gestures.
Apart from completists, I don't see Jar Jar doing well. He might sell out at the beginning but as time goes on he might peg warm. I also can't for the life of me think what could make him a deluxe figure, maybe a bunch of accessories or a display piece.
