Star Wars: Power of the Jedi Mon Calamari Officer Action Figure

A peaceful race of amphibians, the Mon Calamari species have adopted the name of their watery homeworld. Unfortunately, they were a target for Imperial enslavement. After striking back and regaining their freedom, the Mon Calamari joined the Alliance and focused all their energies on defeating the Empire. Collectors found that the Power Of The Jedi line was full of surprises. Hasbro created action figures of background characters that we desperately wanted to see in 3.75” scale, and they approached each and every one with a careful eye. Utilizing existing parts whenever possible, they often refreshed the sculpts to make them character specific so that they were as screen accurate as possible. Always a favorite, it made sense that Admiral Ackbar was a mainstay in The Power Of The Force “2” lineup. But Hasbro never showed interest in producing his comrades from the Home One until the Power Of The Jedi line went into motion. Because their outfits are essentially identical (not including the color of them), it made sense to take the 1997 POTF2 Admiral Ackbar sculpt, tweak it as needed, and quickly produce the more generic Mon Calamari (Officer) characters very easily. Knowing that the POTF2 Admiral Ackbar has a wonderful sculpt that has fought valiantly against time, the Mon Calamari (Officer) would shine equally brightly. And it has. The wonderful base sculpt still looks great years after the fact to be reused to bring us a never before made character from Star Wars Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi.
