Quinlan Vos has always occupied a singular corner of Star Wars fandom — a maverick Jedi with deep Legends comics roots and a memorable arc in The Clone Wars, yet rarely given the 3.75-inch treatment his following demanded. VC85 changed that in 2012, delivering his first single-card Vintage Collection release and immediately earning community praise as a standout in the wave. For collectors who bridge prequel-era fandom with Expanded Universe devotion, this card is a genuine milestone piece.
Presented on a black retro Kenner-style card under The Phantom Menace sub-line branding, the figure comes complete with a green lightsaber and blaster pistol — and notably introduced new hip articulation not seen on any prior Quinlan Vos release, elevating posability within the 3.75-inch scale. The card back, numbered VC85, features a 12-figure collect-them-all grid spanning the full Phantom Menace wave, from Darth Maul and Queen Amidala to Ratts Tyerell and Ben Quadinaros. A period promotional sticker advertising a chance to win a life-sized Darth Maul statue signed by George Lucas remains present on the card face, adding authentic 2012 era context. This example is vintage and presented carded.
As part of a wave that leaned heavily into Phantom Menace nostalgia, VC85 stands apart by spotlighting an Expanded Universe character — broadening the wave's appeal well beyond strict movie collectors. Whether displayed alongside other Vintage Collection Jedi or anchoring a dedicated Quinlan Vos shelf, this card brings a hard-to-find character into the iconic retro format that defines the line at its best.
