Character Background
Ki-Adi-Mundi was a Cerean Jedi Master who served as a member of the Jedi High Council during the final years of the Galactic Republic and fought prominently in the Clone Wars.
Design Notes
Features a specialized one-piece dual-molded or uniquely molded head element which accurately captures the iconic biology of the Cerean species, vastly improving upon the earlier hat-based iteration.
Similar Minifigures
Other Jedi Masters from the Prequel Era such as Yoda, Mace Windu, Plo Koon, and Saesee Tiin.
Collectibility
Moderately high collectibility among Star Wars fans and completionists building out the Jedi Council due to being limited to a single battle pack set.
History
First introduced in a different variant in 2011 (sw0316) in a corporate alliance tank, this definitive version was released in 2014 with the superior specialized head piece.
Interesting Facts
Because Ki-Adi-Mundi's head contains a second binary brain to pump blood to his elongated cranium, he required a unique LEGO mold that makes him one of the tallest standard minifigures.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other Jedi Council members on a specialized LEGO display stand with a custom Jedi Temple backdrop.
Modification Potential
Great for custom MOC scenes involving the Geonosis arena or Jedi Council chambers, or as a base for custom Cerean Jedi characters.
Overall Assessment
An excellent and crucial addition to any Star Wars Prequel or Jedi Council collection, highlighted by its unique molded head piece and single-set exclusivity.
