Hey all,
This is my first official post, so I apologize if this has been done recently. Chazz has posted for me before a couple times (Commander Kettch was the name then), but i'm here on my own now thanks to him.
Anyways, as a huge SW fan (aren't we all?) I'm tired of seeing 20 versions of the same main and only a sporadic sprinkle of truly new characters being introduced into the figure line. I want to see figures based on more EU sources. I don't want to hear the excuse "No one would know who they are". Most of us (though admittingly not all) know SOME aspect of the EU (vid games, books, comics, etc) and so I find it hard to believe theese figd won't be bought. Look at the sales from the limited wave of established EU figs. 'Nuff said...
Anyways, this would be my top 20 List of EU figures I'd like to see made:
1.) Jerec (Dark Jedi from Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight)
2.) Kyle Katarn (Jedi Knight from Jedi Outcast/Academy) (a much better sculpt is needed along witha blue saber)
3.) Mara Jade (Jedi Knight from Thrawn Trilogy of books) (a Mara using a real scan of Shanon, the official Mara Jade would be VERY nice, maybe even pack in her purple lightsaber from her empire days, as well as the one she trained with Kyle)
4.) Grand Admiral Thrawn (Grand Admiral from Thrawn trilogy) (a better sculpt with a much more accurate Grand Admiral's uniform would be nice.)
5.) Darth Malak (Sith Lord from Knights of the Old Republic)
6.) Bok (Dark Jedi from Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight. Include BOTH purple sabers)
7.) Gorc & Pic (Dark Jedi from Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight.) (This would make a very nice deluxe set.)
8.) Jaina Solo (Jedi Knight from Thrawn Trilogy)
9.) Jacen Solo (Jedi Knight from Thrawn Trilogy)
10.) Kyp Durron (Jedi Master from Jedi Academy trilogy of books)
11.) Anakin Solo (Jedi student from Dark Empire II comic)
12.) Exar Kun (Sith Lord from Tales comics.) (Include his double bladed lightsaber)
13.) Noghri (alien race from Thrawn trilogy)
14.) Yuuzhan Vong warrior (from Vector Prime/NJO book(s) )
15.) Ewok warrior (from Return of the Jedi)
16.) Admiral Palleaon (from Thrawn trilogy)
17.) Corran Horn (Jedi Knight from X-Wing series of books) (make his saber silver)
18.) Borsk Fey'lya (Bothan chief of state from Thrawn trilogy) (You KNOW you ALL want to make a diorama of him dying SOMEHOW!)
19.) Ulic Qel-Droma (from Tales from the Jedi comics)
20.) Kam Solusar (Jedi Knight from Dark Empire II comic)
That's my top 20, listed in no specific order. I also listed their CURRENT status (or last held before death) along with first appearence for those who don't know (at least, ot the best of my knowledge). There's a ton more I want made, but I think that's pretty well rounded for a first wave or so. Feel free to comment, add, adjust, or what have you.
