Captain Tarpals (with Electropole) Action Figure: Overview

This Episode One Collection Captain Tarpals action figure isn't such a bad figure and if you have a spare Kaadu (the one that comes with Jar Jar Binks) you can just about get him to ride this beaky steed convincingly which is handy because we first meet Captain Tarpals mounted on a Kaadu at the Gungan secret city proding away at Jar Jar with his electropole. The pose of his legs also means that you can put the Captain Tarpals figure in a pretty good walking position (despite the lack of knee articulation) which makes him useful for Battle of Theed scenes as well. The likeness and the paint job are both pretty good albeit the detailing on the Captain Tarpals action figure's tattoo sleeves is a little basic.

See my article on Gungans, Inferiority and Cultural Imperialism in Star Wars The Phantom Menace.

All Star Wars action figures, vehicles, collectibles and Star Wars toys shown on this website are the 3.75 inch scale and from my own private Star Wars collection unless otherwise stated. Where possible original vintage accessories have been used but in some instances I have placed Kenner Star Wars figures with either reproduction weapons and accessories or for Hasbro figures close approximations have been used. This is mostly the case for modern Star Wars lightsabers where the correct item can be very difficult to identify on some ocassions. Vintage Star Wars action figures are shown with their original weapon or accessory when I have them. When a vintage Kenner action figure is shown with an accessory which is not original I have tried to point this out where possible.

All of the Star Wars action figures shown were purchased second hand, usually incomplete, and in bulk. They have been reunited with their original weapons and accessories where we could get hold of them.
