Probably the biggest surprise at Hasbro's Toy Fair presentation today was the 2012 San Diego Comic Con exclusive, Jar Jar Binks in carbonite. A stunning new The Vintage Collection Jar Jar Binks is coming later in the year as part of The Vintage Collection, but not before being released as part of an awesome SDCC set. Click through for more information!

There hasn't been much love for Jar Jar Binks throughout the years, but 2012 may just change all of that. Hasbro is doing another multi-figure SDCC exclusive set that includes one The Vintage Collection figure from each film in spectacular carbon-freezing chamber packaging. (The figures in this set will NOT be on TVC card back, but different ones - more on that in a second). The set includes figures Princess Leia (Bespin Gown) (Episode V), Shock Trooper (Episode III), Sandtrooper (Episode IV), Clone Lieutenant (Episode II), Darth Vader, (Episode VI). Exclusive to the set is the Jar Jar Binks in carbonite block. This highly detailed carbonite block has a removable back that when reverse has been hollowed out to show where Jar Jar has been hybernating (should you choose to free him from his chamber). Hasbro is releasing these figures in "cancelled" classic vintage packaging (card styles that didn't get approved back in 1978) and are now revisiting them in 2012 for this exclusive set. The same figures will also see release normally in The Vintage Collection packaging, except for the Jar Jar Binks carbonite block of course. It will be quite a year!
