I knew it! Well, like most of you. I picked up the new, and I use the term loosely, Ki-Adi today. Besides a couple of extra joints and some paint changes, this is the exact same figure as the Ep. I Ki-Adi. Hasbro pulled out all the stops for this one.
I'm happy to have the figure so my Ep. I Ki can go with the other Ep. I figures but I think they could have made an entirely new Ep. II jedi. Ki could come later.

He doesn't stand very well either. Are you really surprised that Hasbro done a rehash?
Thanks to the too numerous to list traders here who have made my collection a bit more complete!!

It's a different figure of a outfit with very little to alter. But the face is different, the legs are different (AOTC Ki has pronounced heels), and some body work, mostly with the left (his right) arm.
I guess it's the costuming department's fault for not changing the outfit. Even the exact style in two different earthtone colors. Ah well. At least he'll look great hanging out of a Gunship (like in the "Mace Windu (Jedi Master)" television spot)."It's bombs away for Iraq and on our civil liberties if Bush and his cronies get their way.

Journalists are mostly centrist in their political orientation. The minority of journalists who do not identify with the "center" are more likely to identify with the "right" when it comes to economic issues and to identify with the "left" when it comes to social issues.

If you're a loose collector then they probably isn't a great reason other then he isn't expensive

Did they at least make his knees articulant so you can put him in a chair on the jedi council?
But I was going to Tosche Station to pick up some Star Wars figures!!!

no he has no knee articulation nor can he hold his lightsaber with both hands...which kinda sucks, but i have heard that in AOTC he is only seen weilding his saber with one hand...
