Jar Jar Binks Joins Hot Toys with Glorious 1/6 Scale Star Wars Figure 

Hot Toys is embracing the full power of the Force as they debut a new selection of impressive, most impressive Star Wars figures

Jar Jar Binks was introduced in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999) and remains one of the saga's most controversial characters. Initially designed to provide comic relief, Jar Jar quickly became a lightning rod for fan criticism. Despite the backlash, actor Ahmed Best's performance, through pioneering motion-capture technology, would help break new ground for the future of digital characters. In the lore, Jar Jar inadvertently plays a significant role in galactic events, helping to grant Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers. Despite being tricked alongside the entire galaxy, Jar Jar Binks is a celebrated Star Wars character with Ahmed Best, a fan favorite actor who even portrayed a Jedi in The Mandalorian.

Now, the mischief of Jar Jar comes to life as Hot Toys debuts their next 1/6 scale figure, which will have seamless joints. Hot Toys has given this Gungan two swappable face sculpts, two swappable eyes, wired ears, a variety of extra hands, a Booma, a magnetic tongue, and a Tatooine-themed display base. This is the best Jar Jar Binks figure that Star Wars fans could have ever dreamed of, and he is set to release in Q3 2026. Pre-orders are not live, but they will be soon through Sideshow Collectibles!

Star Wars: The Phantom Menace – Jar Jar Binks

"A clumsy, well-meaning Gungan outcast on Naboo, Jar Jar Binks struggled to prove his worth throughout his life. When Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi first met Jar Jar Binks, Qui-Gon sensed their meeting was the will of the Force, and took the Gungan outcast with them to Tatooine and Coruscant. Qui-Gon was right: Jar Jar would prove an exasperating but important bridge between Naboo's human settlers and their Gungan neighbors."

"Masterfully crafted based on Jar Jar Binks' appearance in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, this collectible figure features a newly developed head sculpt with his elongated ears. It comes with two interchangeable face sculpts—one with a closed mouth and one with an open mouth and detachable tongue—along with two pairs of interchangeable eyeballs for displaying different facial expressions."
