POP Jimmie (Pulp Fiction)

Jimmie, during the events of Pulp Fiction, is not a capital character in the plot, however, he is one of those typical characters of Elmore Leonard's novels - of which Tarantino is a big fan - both shabby and great, that the director will have wanted to put on stage. Better than directing him, Quentin Tarantino even went so far as to embody the character. Indeed, Quentin Tarantino, like Alfred Hitchcock, often likes to appear in his own films, as a secondary character or as a voice-over.

Jimmie, or Jimmie Dimmick by his full name, unlike most of the characters in Pulp Fiction, is not too involved in the criminal affairs of the film. However, he seems rather used to murderous escapades considering his role. What's more, his last name "Dimmick" is also that of Larry Dimmick who had the pseudonym Mr. White during the events of Reservoir Dogs, the previous film by Quentin Tarantino.

It is not clear what Jimmy's occupation is, assuming he even has a job. When Jules and Vincent decide to come and visit him, he is dressed in a bathrobe, alone in his house. Little is known about him, except that his wife's name is Bonnie and that she probably works nights.

During the events of Pulp Fiction, Vincent Vega inadvertently shoots one of his informants in the car. As a result, the rear window is covered with the brain of his victim. Unable to continue driving with a vehicle in this state, Jules Winnfield suggests going to Jimmie's, an acquaintance of his. The latter welcomes them relatively coldly, multiplying racist insults and fearing that his wife will discover the body that the two companions bring back to him. To help them to get out of this bad mass, he will lend them ridiculous clothes to change their blood-stained suit and will lend them his garage so that they wash the vehicle.

Jimmie will also be there when Mr. Wolf, acting as a cleaner, comes to help them get rid of the body and the vehicle. All in all, Jimmie is one of those rich secondary characters who, even if they don't stay on screen for long, manage to leave an inlay of their presence.

Also, the Funko POP figure of Jimmy in Pulp Fiction represents the character as he was dressed when Vincent and Jules came to meet him. Also, the Jimmie POP figurine represents him jaded, the eyes fixed behind which we guess a serious and angry look.

As for the character it represents, the Jimmie figurine in Pulp Fiction is dressed in a red bathrobe covering a white and blue striped pajamas. One guesses that the character is likely pulled out of bed, while the Jimmie POP from Pulp Fiction features short, disheveled hair. The face of the Jimmie POP is then similar in every way to the face of Quentin Tarantino.
