Rumor has it there's a Qymaen jai Sheelal action figure coming out this year, I hope it's true. grin

Really? I hope it's true too!

Wonder which 'look' they'd go for if a figure ever did get made...the long-skirted costume as illoed in the Star Wars Insider zine or the vaguely Ancient Egyptian outfit the Kaleesh dude in that SW aliens guide is wearing? It'd probably be easier to model a figure wearing a long skirt, but the dirty old broad side of me wants to see a Qymaen in that form-fitting Egypto thing, heh. What we really need is a 12" Qymaen figure that's like a Ken doll. His deluxe playset could come complete with several changes of outfit and all kinds of nifty accessories and maybe even a neat critter for him to ride. I bet any Qymaen figures that ever do get released wind up with their masks permanently molded to their faces, though, just to preserve that 'mystery' and all...darn!

He's on a French Hasbro 2007 Catalog List, so I guess we're getting him! grin

Wow! You're right! I just checked a German figurine site (4-inches) and he's listed as a probable for the 2007 Basic Figure Wave 5 line. Here's the full listing for that wave, in case casual fans are interested...

'Wave 5
Hermi Odle
C-3PO
Momaw Nadon [Roron Corobb?]
Yoda [with Kybuck]
Mace Windu
Anakin [with Tatoos]
Darth Raven (KOTOR)
Darth Malak (KOTOR)
Pre-Cyborg Grievous [Qymaen jai Sheelal]
McQuarrie Series - Luke Skywalker [Jedi?]'

Some photos of figures confirmed for Wave 4 were already up (they include a Boba Fett as seen in the Star Wars Holiday Special, by the way, which is a little shocking considering how much the Lucas gang usually squirms whenever that infamous TV special is even mentioned), so hopefully we'll soon see how our boy is dressed!

I'm so excited now Qymaen is on the list. But I still want a Ken doll (but I would say Barbie just to be annoying). And maybe some new box art.

Hasbro confirmed him in a Q&A.

From, http://www.thejawa.com/nuke/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2295

1) What kind of articulation will the Pre-Cyborg General Grievous figure have being released later this year

HASBRO - He has a ball joint neck, ball and socket shoulders, bicep, knees, hip and waist. There are some other nice surpises, but you'll have to wait until we reveal him fully.

AWESOME. But that mask needs work, because I like what's underneath a lot more XD
