Scene By Scene: Favorite Figures Never Made Before

[dindae]

I'm still reserving some hope that the chest plate comes off. It looks possible. Either way I'm pretty pumped about the wave. A lot of good choices.

[Droid]

Looks to me like both the chest plate and helmet come off.

Hurray, hurray. Now we're talking.

Gragga and Sora Bulq who came so close making our list also will see production! (I voted for them....hehehe)
Well, there's been some progress.[/QUOTE]

[Droid]

If today's rumors are true it would knock Hem Dazon (#1), General Veers
(#2), Moff Jerjerrod (#10), R5D4 (#12), maybe Daultry Dofine if Lushros Dofine is identical (#18), Major Derlin (#37), Chief Chirpa (#40), maybe Rep Teers if Rep Been is identical (#41) off the list.

There is a chance the Jango, the Luke Endor, or Clone Trooper may also fall off the list if it is the right sculpt. Quadrinaros may be one of the pod racer two pack.

Despite the rumors, still no Tonnika Sisters.

8 out of 50 off of our list in one day (and maybe more) wouldn't be bad. And our top two! I won't trust it until I see the figures in plastic.

I am greedy and hope that Hasbro will release more figures than that in
2006, but I would get 5 of my personal top 50 if all of this was true so I'd still be pretty happy.

The announcement is 52 figures, which would be low for a year for Hasbro, so maybe there are still more for 2006.

[pegger]

WOW is right! I'm very impressed....Deity C-3P0??? R5-D4??/

I hope this is true, and not some mean rumour....there are some very nice figures on that list....

maybe next year won't be as cheap as I thought.....

[dindae]

This is great I hope to see some more pics soon. The fact that out of 6 waves (didn't count ROTS wave since we didn't vote on them) we got 7+ figs that really feels like they listened. If Veers does have a removable chest plate and helmet I can't help but feel that we contributed to the design of the figure. Hopefully Hasbro will keep it up. Of course soon we will have to start the voting over again.lol

[Tycho]

I have to update the ROTS thread with the Fireship Pilot and The Invisible Hand captain.

They have to make about 42 more figures from this list before we vote again. It's possible but we'll really hit the bottom of the barrel. Please review this thread from page 1 to look at some of the less than stellar choices - Club Outlander was so full of them we didn't even offer up everyone.

[DarthBrandon]

Nice to see you back and posting more frequently again Tycho, looks like 2006 could be a good year after all. Out of the list that has surfaced recently I have decided to be a little picky about what I'll be buying in the next coming year. * means yes

The Phantom Menace
Gungan Rep Been (Have to see it first)
Naboo Soldier *
Podracer pilots 2pk (nope)
Gragra: Mos Espa Merchant (Same as Gungan)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (Same as Gungan)
Darth Maul (nope)

Attack Of The Clones
Clone Trooper (have to see it first)
Sora Bulq: Weequay Jedi *
Sun Fac: Geonosian Leader (Same as Clone)
C-3PO (nope, got the best in ROTS IMHO)
Poggle the lesser: Geonosian Leader (Same as Clone)
Jango Fett (Possibly if done a la Vintage style)
Republic Commando (Same as Clone)
Yoda (nope)

Revenge Of The Sith
Coruscant Fire Fighter Pilot *
Lushros Dofine: Invisible Hand Captain *
Commander Cody: Clone Commander ***
Anakin Skywalker (nope)
Clone Trooper *
Ki-Adi-Mundi (nope)
Obi-Wan Kenobi (nope)
Foul Moudama: Talz Jedi *
General Grievous (nope)

A New Hope
Hammerhead: Cantina Denizen (Have to see it first)
R5-D4: Slacker *
Hem Dazon: Cantina Denizen *
Garindan The Kubaz (Have to see it first)
Han Solo (Have to see it first)
Luke Skywalker (Have to see it first)
Sandtrooper (nope)

The Empire Strikes Back
General Veers ***
Major Bren Derlin ***
AT-AT Driver *
R2-D2 (nope)
Snowtrooper *
General Rieekan (nope)
Darth Vader: Hoth Battle (nope)
Gonk Droid: Rebel Hangar *

Return Of The Jedi 1
Leia Boushh *
Han Solo: Jabba’s Prisoner *
Bib Fortuna *
Barada Skiff guard (nope)
Chewbacca: Boushh’s Bounty (nope)
Boba Fett (nope)

Return Of The Jedi 2
Chief Chirpa *
Moff Jerjerrod *
Death Star Gunner *
C-3PO: Ewok Deity ***
Luke Skywalker: Endor Confrontation (Have to see it first)
Darth Vader: Endor Confrontation (Have to see it first)
The Emperor (Have to see it first)
Endor Rebel Commando (Have to see it first)

The list looks good, I'll reserve my final opinion when they reach the pegs, I hope some more figures are released as well (Imperial Officers for starters, Biggs Academy, Luke Pilot a la Vander style, Padme Buns style, Snow Clones, Sergeant Fox, Commander Neyo etc) I’d like to see some Evolutions as well, (Luke Ceremony, Pilot, Jedi (Tricked out version) (Jedi Qui Gon, Mace, Obi-Wan ROTS) (Clone Commanders, Fox, Neyo, Appo) I'd like to see some more concept figures as well, Luke, Boba etc)

With no ships this year other than possible rehashes, I’m hoping that Hasbro will relinquish the license to someone else that can do these ships justice. Ideas would be a Bigger Falcon (twice the size), Blockade Runner, Sith Infiltrator, Clone Tank, Palpy’s shuttle etc. Again here’s to hoping.

TC & Peace

[Slicker]

It's almost as if Hasbro is reading our little list isn't it? I'm pleased and think Hasbro wen above and beyond with the new sculpts so far. I just don't wanna be disappointed if these are only rumors.

[JediTricks]

Since this is an ongoing discussion about upcoming figures, I think it only right to move it to the Saga 2 forum, and have done so.

[Tycho]

Thanks JT - hope everyone stays subscribred through the changes.

It struck me that if we can get prequel versions of Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru, plus maybe Bail Organa's wife and Bail in another outfit, the toughest hurdles would be crossed.

I am a little concerned about the Tonnika Sister though.

[El Chuxter]

It could be she's still in the works. I hope.

Upon closer inspection of the list, I'm noticing a lack of Padmes, though. :(

[jedi master sal]

I am a little concerned about the Tonnika Sister though.

Consider this that, they just got the preliminary go ahead from one of the "sisters" just 6 months ago. We've been told it takes roughly a year or better for a figure to be produced. My guess is that they are still in the first stages of design for this figure. (Getting approvals from both the actress and LFL.) So I think we will see it made, just maybe not in time for '06.

Heck, we've waited this long, I can wait til '07 so long as she's done right.

-Sal

[dindae]

Upon closer inspection of the list, I'm noticing a lack of Padmes, though. :(

I doubt we will ever get all the Padme outfit. Considering how many outfits they gave her even if we got one a wave we would still have 3 years of collecting Padme. It is sad that we only have 1 from ROTS and 2 outfits from AOTC (and even with 2 figs they couldn't make a decent arena fig). Yet we have many Mace Windu's who hasn't changed his clothes since he was a padawan. Yes I know he's a jedi and cool, she's a girl, blah blah blah.

Thing is, I think a lot of SW collectors would be more than happy to buy new Padme figures. There's a TON from TPM, that I'd like to see made, not to mention all the ones from AOTC and ROTS.

Just because, "she's a girl," makes no difference to me. She's important to the story and more figures of her in different wardrobe is warranted.

Oh I agree. I was just listing the same old arguements we always seem to get. What would be great is to see maybe a Padme pack like the EE droid packs. Will they do it no but it would be cool.

[Slicker]

Oh I agree. I was just listing the same old arguements we always seem to get. What would be great is to see maybe a Padme pack like the EE droid packs. Will they do it no but it would be cool.That'd be an easy and painless way to release a good number of the Padme outfits.:thumbsup:

[pegger]

That'd be an easy and painless way to release a good number of the Padme outfits.:thumbsup:

I know this is slightly off topic, but an evolutions pack of Padme would be a good way to do it too....(IMHO)

[plasticfetish]

they just got the preliminary go ahead from one of the "sisters" just 6 months ago...
Heck, we've waited this long, I can wait til '07 so long as she's done right.I'll second that.

Considering what we're getting so far, I'm really pretty happy.
A new Gonk droid alone makes me :)

I know this is slightly off topic, but an evolutions pack of Padme would be a good way to do it too....(IMHO)Yeah, that is a good idea, but it all depends on how well these sets sell right now.

[Droid]

Excluding last time, where it was really just which figure would you like to see repacked, there have been 5 fan club polls, each having five choices. With Derlin being made, and if the recent rumors are true, and if Quardinaros is one of the pod racers that was announced, there have only been four figures offered in the fan club pollls not yet made into a figure:

Bom Vimdim, Twi'lek Masseuse, Nym (Expanded Universe), and Rebel in Scout Trooper Disguise.

Pretty strong ammunition for those who think the polls only include figures Hasbro already intended to make or already had started prototypes for.

If so, I really look forward to them putting out Bom Vimdim, who is in my Top Ten most wanted figures.

[Tycho]

The Evolutions packs never sit around here. I've found them all but only bought The Sith (for Palpatine for Vader EW to hurl).

Padme would work really well for those interested in her (like me).

TPM: Purple Return to Naboo (spftgoods) and Qui-Gon's funeral
AOTC: Padme's Apartment and Palpatine's office
ROTS: Coruscant "Annie I'm pregnant" hair in buns

TPM: Black Nute Gunray arrested / post-Senate
AOTC: nightgown / Kohoun attack / balcony "saving Anakin's mom"
ROTS: white, birth of the twins medical gown

TPM: yellow pre-senate
AOTC: packing suitcases for Naboo / Clone Wars annimated outfit
ROTS: Ruminations

That's it for TPM, but they can start repacks or doing Sabe (black travel gown) in soft goods with some of the other AOTC and ROTS outfits.

[TheDarthVader]

I would definitely buy all of the Padme wardrobe figures. I would buy either an evolution or an EE padme 5 pack. I hope EE is listening to us!

B.

[JediTricks]

Thanks JT - hope everyone stays subscribred through the changes.
Thread has the same URL, so the move shouldn't affect the subscriptions whether through the SSG thread-subscription system, bookmark, or an outside subscription system.

It looks like moving the thread got some renewed interest too, who would have guessed? :D

[MaquisWarrior]

I'm sorry I was instasis animation after the whole Unleashed Jar Jar thing plus the Scooty is dead thing...WHO MOVED WHAT WHERE and WHY DOES CLIFF CLAVEN HAVE A FIGURE?? Wait I read the above blogs AND IT STILL DOESN'T MAKE SENSE! I thought the old "Rebel Commander" was supposed to be a uncredited Derlin!

[DarthBrandon]

The Evolutions packs never sit around here. I've found them all but only bought The Sith (for Palpatine for Vader EW to hurl).

Padme would work really well for those interested in her (like me).

TPM: Purple Return to Naboo (spftgoods) and Qui-Gon's funeral
AOTC: Padme's Apartment and Palpatine's office
ROTS: Coruscant "Annie I'm pregnant" hair in buns

AOTC: nightgown / Kohoun attack / balcony "saving Anakin's mom"
ROTS: white, birth of the twins medical gown

AOTC: packing suitcases for Naboo / Clone Wars annimated outfit
ROTS: Ruminations

That's it for TPM, but they can start repacks or doing Sabe (black travel gown) in soft goods with some of the other AOTC and ROTS outfits.

I like the first choice the best for an evolutions set Tycho, I'd like to see Luke done as well (Ceremony, Pilot, ROTJ) along with a Jedi set. (Qui, Mace, Obi) Another Possibility is a Han Solo set (Hoth, Bespin, ROTJ Trenchcoat); as well as another Trooper Evolution (see previous posts).

[Tycho]

(Plus Gragga and Sora Bulq!)

[vadersvette]

Daultry Dofine (Captain, Trade Federation Droid Control Ship) ??? Invisible Hand Captain????

I think we are getting him but his name is Lushros Dofine.

[Tycho]

You know there'd be a smart way to produce a lot of this:

- a Queen of Naboo Evolutions pack (E1,E2,& E3)
- the Lars family 3-pack screen-scene
Han Bespin Torture would sell for sure
Luke Endor Gear is a no-brainer (as is Leia)
another Cantina screen scene or curved bar sections
Padme packs of course
Jabbas Palace would still work

Things are looking up.

[dindae]

Tycho why did you cross off Rebel Flight Tech?

[Tycho]

The Rebel Fleet Trooper in ceremony uniform is sort of the same thing, isn't it?

I've never paid that much attention. I know he's not the guy in the blue shirt with the black vest. I'm sorry. I guess I don't care about Yavin that much.

[mastermatt24]

They should be the same..

[dindae]

I just now saw the 411 on the Yavin wave. I was asking what list he was on more than if he was a definate fit.

[Tycho]

Looks like Luke will have the poncho. A helmet will help our cause. No word on that yet - or if he'll be wearing the DSII outfit underneathe (like he should be - no molded vest). Think positive. ROTJLuke will be thrilled.

[ROTJLuke]

Looks like Luke will have the poncho. A helmet will help our cause. No word on that yet - or if he'll be wearing the DSII outfit underneathe (like he should be - no molded vest). Think positive. ROTJLuke will be thrilled.


lol well if they retool the chest to have the DSII uniform and remove the skirt thing, as well as give him a new right arm/hand to actually hold the saber (retooled ball jointed arms would be ideal) then yes Ill be happy. Also, if they put the poncho as a pack in as opposed to on the figure. Throw in binders, an Obi Pilot saber hilt/saber w/ a green blade, and Ill be one happy collector. Its not my SA version, but in due time. So, again, heres my break down in a "reader friendly" version:

Luke Skywalker: Endor Confrontation

Jabba's Palace: Legs, Head, left arm

Retooled: torso/chest, right arm

Accessories: Lightsaber, Lightsaber Hilt, Binders, Poncho


If they did it like that, I think I may stop asking for this one. In the package, I want to be able to see him in that uniform. Out of it, I want him to be able to be in his binders, and hold a saber in two hands to fight vader, or with the poncho on fight the Rumored SA VOTC Scout Troopers. Yep, Ive heard rumors of this HARDCORE. but yea...hopefully this one is everything I want. :D SA doesnt have to be on this one to make me happy, although ball jointed elbows/sholders would make my life.

[Tycho]

I've updated to reflect the new information we have on Endor Luke.

That's 14 or 16 figures out of 50! Keep on going Hasbro!

(Plus Gragga and Sora Bulq!)

The Mother Ewok looks less and less like its happening, and remember we don't have pictures for a lot of these. However, this list is no where as close as the ROTS list is at nearly 50% to completion (11 out of 20 figures).

I am wondering when we should start a thread creating a new list? When should we target the creation of the new figures? 2007? or 2008? We need visual confirmation of the rest of the 2006's first.

Next, approximately 35 or so figures from this list and 9 from the ROTS list could be combined with room left over for Kashyyyk ground troops and 4 others. Oh- don't forget that Owen and Beru appear twice (both lists) so that frees up 2 more spots. We'd end up with an even Top 50 list again.

As a diorama builder, I like the scene-by-scene approach and could use this thread to copy the format for a new poll that includes ROTS.

I'm thinking that if things get made or visually confirmed that we're not sure of - like Herme Odel and Gragga, we'll just take them off the list before we give it to Hasbro at Comic Con 2006.

We shouldn't start just yet. We need to see more pictures. But is it time to consider this?

[Droid]

I don't think we should do anything yet. I think we should wait for some pictures and really confirm the ones that are rumored.

Once we know what we are and are not getting, I think it is a really good idea to add the Revenge of the Sith ones to the list to once again make an even 50. I wouldn't worry so much about ranking them. I'd just slap the ROTS figures at the bottom of the list. Or I guess we could rank them from one to fifty and do a point system like before to come up with a new ranking that included ROTS figures.

I don't think we should start the whole exercise over again since SO MUCH effort went into creating the list in the first place. I think Hasbro should just keep seeing the list until they complete it.

[dindae]

I would wait for pictures before anything is confirmed. I believe that the rebelscum lists are good since so far it has been right on the money but the other list from mousedroid I don't trust.

[Battle Droid]

What list from mousedroid?

[dindae]

Sorry it was galactic hunter. Couldn't find the newer list but this is the one from April

http://www.galactichunter.com/absolutenm/templates/full_article_template_1.asp?articleid=4381&zoneid=7

more animated Clone Wars figures including Barriss Offee, Luminara Unduli, and Padmé. - no, no, and maybe
also see more traditional non-animation style Clone Wars figures and toys. - no
Somewhere .... is a foamcore study model of an AT-TE tank. - no
a Mos Eisley Cantina. The bar is U-shaped, no
I see a holographic figure of Darth Vader in his big, black iron lung costume, not the Jedi robes. - no
Next I see Anakin Skywalker as a holograph from his assault on the Jedi Temple AND as a ghost. - no
Emperor Palpatine sitting in his trademark throne. - repacked in a battle pack
Finally... I see metal... die cast metal. - yes although vague


So you can see why i'm sceptical.

[Droid]

There is something funny about the last predictions from Galactic Hunter's prediction droid. I cannot find the last article anywhere on Galactic Hunter or online. The article that predicted Hermi Odle, the wokling, clone marines, and one of Jabba's palace drummers is gone.

Was it found to be so unreliable that it was pulled? Or did it hit too close to the mark, tick someone at Hasbro off, and get pulled? Only time will tell.

If anyone has the text of those predictions so I can read it again I'd appreciate a link or pasting it here!

[Tycho]

If we go back into this and look at what we actually have pictures for:

Veers
Anakin Jedi Robes (relaxed - see Evolutions set)
Major Derlin

That's not much.


If we get into what we have strong rumors for:

Hem Dazon
Herme Odel
CZ-3
Tey How (possibly in Lucas collection? Was this his daughter as well?)
Moff Jerjerrod
Rebel Flight Tech (Trooper, Yavin Ceremony etc)
R5D4
Bom Vimdim
Lushros (or Daulty) Dofine - Federation captain figure
Luke in Endor Gear
Chief Chirpa
Rep Been (Gungan High Council)
2 podracers that are hopefully new characters never released before

Fading rumors / Weak rumors include:

Mother Ewok with Wokling
Brea Tonnika (Christine Hewitt)

REALLY OBVIOUS AND BLATANTLY MISSING FROM HASBRO'S LINEUP ARE:

Beru (AOTC)
Cliegg
Lando Smuggler (hello- main character, obscure outfit maybe)
Yarna dal Gargon
Han Bespin Torture (main character, duh)
Owen Lars (AOTC)
at least a few assorted Padmes from various films
cantina characters that would be no-brainers
Jabba's Palace characters (like the original vintage Klaatu) who should've made the Karkoon wave

Some of our other stuff was more obscure or irregular (Jango Fett out of armor might not be a thrill for the kids) but in a collector's market these did beat a LOT of alternatives. This thread is more than proof of that.

[dindae]

I still think Brea Tonnika will happen. It may not be 2006 but soon. the fact that they took the effort to get everyone to talk at CIII showed they want to mek the figure. I figure it took a month or two to get the paper work signed and then another year after that would push her past what is on the lists we have. Maybe I'm just wishful thinking.

[pegger]

I am wondering when we should start a thread creating a new list? When should we target the creation of the new figures? 2007? or 2008? We need visual confirmation of the rest of the 2006's first.


I think this summer would be a good time to revisit and update the list to 50 again...As you've stated we're down to about 35 figs from the original 50. By summer we'll know everything that's coming for the year...

but that's only my opinion...

[Tycho]

We still have some problems here: true I haven't seen all the Toy Fair pics, but we have no visual evidence (to my knowledge) of:

Herme Odel (deluxe figure?)
CZ-3
Moff Jerjerrod (I think...this may be in one of the pictures I've seen)
Rebel Flight Tech or Yavin Base Honor Guard - one of those guys, I'm not particular
Bom Vimdim - I definitely think this one is NOT forthcoming in 2006
Daultry Dofine - just answer if Lushros Dofine will suffice? I may even buy a repaint here
Luke Endor Gear - I think this may be shown as well
Chief Chirpa
Rep Been
Mother Ewok with baby - I don't think we'll see this one in 2006 either

I agree with Pegger that we'll see more after Comic Con Summer 2006, but they didn't show #57-68 for ROTS last year...it's difficult to gauge.

[Tycho]

OK, we have "corrected" the list now that pictures from Toy Fair have been seen. Please also see the ROTS Top 20 thread, as well. They are not included here. Here's where we're at now:

That's 8 -14 figures out of 50! (depends what satisfies you and how rumors will play out) Keep on going Hasbro!

(Plus Gragga and Sora Bulq which were very close to originally making this list!

*You need to tell Hasbro if Lushros Dofine counts for Daultay Dofine, if you want him repainted like Cat Min / Shu Mai, or what will satisfy you.

So we'll see if we get them all done. Try re-reading this thread to see how you feel the discussion went now that you've experienced some results.

[JediTricks]

Jerjerrod is definitely in there, the likeness isn't perfect but his base confirms it.

[pegger]

*You need to tell Hasbro if Lushros Dofine counts for Daultay Dofine, if you want him repainted like Cat Min / Shu Mai, or what will satisfy you.


IMHO - They are the same....I would rather "fill" that spot with another figure than for what would essentailly be a re-paint.

[dindae]

I agree with pegger. The need for this figure exactly is not as great since a stand in fig has been made. While I would by a quick repaint it makes it less of a void not having the character.

[Battle Droid]

Daultay's outfit is to different from Lushros' for them just to repaint Lushros for Daultay.

They could do it for Tey How if they added the goggles and mouth piece, and done the head and hands in a grayish mold, though I'd rather her be able to sit down.

[pegger]

Daultay's outfit is to different from Lushros' for them just to repaint Lushros for Daultay.


I had to watch TPM to figure out what you were talking about.

OK - his outfit is a little more "frilly" - but not enough for me too be overly upset that he hasn't been made yet...

[Tycho]

Trade Federation stuff they haven't done includes:

Nute from AOTC
the other Nemoidian from AOTC (Geonosis war room)
Nute in mechochair (obviously needing softgoods - TPM)
Holo Sidious in mechochair from TPM through CW (they could do this cartoonish as well)
Tey How
Capt. Daultay Dofine
Nemoidian personnel (TPM, Theed Palace, ROTS, Invisible Hand)

I'm sure I forgot somebody, and we didn't even discuss the droids.

Anyway, I was listing them to see if there's a way to do a 3-pack, battlepack, or whatever.

How about a battlepack from TPM: Mechochair, Holo Sidious (repacked 1999 figure), Nute Soft-goods, Capt. Dofine (repaint of Lushros from ROTS)? Is that cheap enough for Hasbro?

Tey How can be a new carded figure with a new headsculpt for her eye and mouth pieces.

Nute and Libkath or whomever from AOTC can be in a new Geonosian battlepack or whatever down the road. TPM is more concrete for Trade Federation stuff.

[Battle Droid]

I'm sure I forgot somebody, and we didn't even discuss the droids.

ROTS Rune Haako and Rute Gunnay.

[Tycho]

What did you think of TPM Niemoidian battle pack idea? (with Mech-chair and Sidious hologram?)

[Battle Droid]

Sounds good, but like I said before Lushros shouldn't be repainted as Daultay. :p

[Droid]

Sorry I haven't jumped in as I usually follow this thread pretty closely. I was in the hospital for a while because my appendix burst.

Lushros should not count as Daultay on the list. His clothes are different. We wouldn't suggest Jerjerrod should have come off the list because we already had Piett and they were basically the same figure. I think the outfit is different enough that Daltay should stay unless he is voted off if we ever reevaluate the list down the road.

We are going to have some great discussions when the ToyFare magazine list of fifty most wanted figures comes out!

[pegger]

We wouldn't suggest Jerjerrod should have come off the list because we already had Piett and they were basically the same figure.

Well - the Piett figure also sucks, which is why I wouldn't take Jerjerrod off the list....

[Tycho]

OK,

1) Droid, glad to hear you're doing better. May I be the first (in this thread) to wish you a speedy recovery. It sounds like you went through a lot.

2) They are not using Piett's body to do Jerjerrod. Veers maybe (the new one), but not Piett's out-of-date 1998 sculpt. (Not that I want a new Piett figure or something - that is not the case). In fact, with Jerjerrod and Veers, I have the Imperial officers I most desired. Captain Needa or Captain Palleon (Expanded Universe and short, mustached) would make cooler Imperial additions before another Piett, (or Tarkin or Motti) IMO.

3) I have to agree with the reasoning that Lushros is not a substitute for Daultay with the analogy applied to the Imperials above. A repaint may or may not suffice for me. I'll have to take time to look up some comparison pictures first, before I decide. Meanwhile, I guess I'll still plan on buying 5 figures of Lushros and having 3 of them wind up being extras or something should Daultay be made down the line. I'd rather fill my scenes when I have the opportunity (aint that right, JMS?)

[pegger]

OK - so I thought about, and I agree - a simple repaint won't do it..If I want Daultray, then Loshros will need more than simple repaint. The outfits are different enough to warrant a seperate figure...

However - I do stand by my other statement that having Loshros does make Daultray a lower priority for me, and is no longer on my "top 50" must have figures.... but that is just me.

And to Droid - my sincerest apologies...I didn't even read your post carefully enough to see that you were in the hospital. I hope everything is OK for you now.(i.e. having Veers and Jerjerrod is making have a resculpt Tarkin or Peitt less of a priority for me too...although I think both are warranted) There just other figures I would rather see made at this point.

[JediTricks]

Daultay Dofine, DAULTAY!!! There's no "R" no matter what Tycho says!!!


:D


Lushros Dofine has the same hat and nearly the same face (I bet they probably used the exact same mask even), close enough in my book for a nobody character from a nobody race in a nobody trilogy. :p

[Tycho]

LOL, JT. Well the "r" is right by the "t" on my keyboard, "JR."

[pegger]

Now that the Toy Fair poll is out...and hardly any of our top 25 figs are on the list - I am wondering if we should re-vamp the next list...into 3 different lists... Here's my suggestion:

List 1 - a top 25 of CANON never-before made figs. Keep this list to strictly NEVER BEFORE MADE figs. There are some on the current list that are re-sculpts. I would rather see a list of 25 all new figs that we would like.

List 2 - a top 25 (or 15? or 10?) of RESCULTPED figs. I do see a need to revisit some of the older figs we have and update molds - or correct them and since ? Hasbro is telling us we have 500+ figs, 25 resculted does not seem unreasonable...(plus if we don't tell Hasbro want figs we want re-scultped they will probably resculpt Greedo again...)

List 3 - a top 25 (or 15? or 10?) EU list. I'm not a huge fan - but there are some EU figs that would interest me. I just don't want them to over take my canon figs....

I know that the previous list was a lot of work - but it was fun! Thoughts?

[dindae]

I think that would be a good way to do it but then I would like to follow up with a poll to rank them into a overall top 25. The EU poll will be a crazy one to come up with though for choices since I doubt any of us has the knowledge to provide a starter list with all the major players. I'm not even sure I can come up with a top 25 with doing some research.

[Droid]

I think we should leave our current list the way it is, marking off figures as they get made, and continuing to beat the drum with Hasbro that these are the figures we want.

[Kidhuman]

Ditto Droid.

[pegger]

Ditto Droid.

The only reason I disagree with you guys is that there are no ROTS figures in this list - nor were they considered in making our top 50 (granted because the movie didn't exist at the time). So it this list truly our top 50? I know for myself that I would really like a neutral posed, no action gimmick decently sculpted Mace more than some of the other figs that I voted for on the top 50.....

If we are going to have a top 50 list that we are going to hammer away Hasbro with - it should be inclusive of all the movies. Granted we have a top 20 list of ROTS figs as a seperate list - but I believe that we need to amalgamate that list into this list somehow....

[Kidhuman]

You got a point there pegger. I would say no to breaking up the list into sub categories.

[Droid]

We have a bunch of figures from the original list that have now been made or we have seen confirmation pictures. A number of the ROTS figures in our original list of figures we wanted from that movie have been made. Take the remaining ROTS figures and put them on the list with the figures remaining from the other five movies. If Tycho wants to devise some crazy system to figure out how the ROTS figures fit into the rankings with the figures from the other five movies, great. But the essence of the original list should stand.

There certainly is no need to once again figure out what figures we want from the Original trilogy. There were like 38 similarities between two lists generated by this site. We don't need to spend a bunch of time rearriving at those same figures again.

Expanded Universe figures should not be mixed in. I think Tycho tried to start a thread about the most wanted Expanded Universe figures and it went nowhere compared to the interest generated by this thread.

That's fine - let's just vote between the existing remain figures and the ones on the ROTS list. I think that would meld the two lists quite nicely... Anything that ranks lower than our current # 50 pick falls off.

Point taken. I think my previous compromise would solve this.

Expanded Universe figures should not be mixed in. I think Tycho tried to start a thread about the most wanted Expanded Universe figures and it went nowhere compared to the interest generated by this thread.

Fine by me. I think 95% of EU figs are waste anyways - but given the results of ToyFair there seems to be an outcry for them.... We can leave them off - again just trying to suggest a compromise.

Ya, I think working the remaining ROTS into the remaining figures from I, II, and IV-VI would be good. I agree, anything below #50 should fall off.

I don't see why someone who wants to can't just start a thread of most wanted resculpts or most wanted EU. I just don't think it will generate as much interest as this thread did.

[Droid]

I know for myself that I would really like a neutral posed, no action gimmick decently sculpted Mace more than some of the other figs that I voted for on the top 50.....

I still think the Episode I sneak preview Mace is the best Mace they ever made. The first carded Episode I Mace is still my favorite Mace where he isn't wearing the robes. I thought the Episodes II and III Maces were terrible.

[Tycho]

OK guys.

1) We're going to wait (at least about 1 month or a little less) before undertaking this kind of project, due to certain reasons that will become evident soon enough.

2) At least half of our Top 20 ROTS (separate list) figures came to fruition, especially at the end of 2005 (Gree, Bly, 501st, etc.) - and young Owen and Beru were on both lists, but are essentially the same figures. Lucas filmed Owen and Beru with the baby during the filming of AOTC. They didn't go back to Tunisia for ROTS, and Ewan had his hood up, so you couldn't tell if his hair was long or short at that time.

3) There is not going to be a "system" that reconciles the two lists (5-movie and ROTS) since the polling was done very differently. Also, with the deletion of one set of Owen and Beru, ROTS becomes mostly a competition to get several more Padmes and medical droids onto our 5-movie list (who's really worried that Hasbro won't repaint more Clone variants now?) Considering the in-fighting we had over "5-movie Padmes" here during the creation of this list, do we really need to struggle with that again?

4) Hasbro will always market Tatooine Lukes, etc. Kids who saw ROTS as their first movie they were old enough to see in the theater have no RETAIL option (until the next wave this year) to get Tatooine Luke now that they are aware who he is and "ages 4 & up." We did a brilliant job scraping the bottom of the barrel for our lists. They are getting to them, but have not surpassed even half of our 5-movie Recommendations yet. Personally, I think Owen and Beru are a hurdle we need to get over to see serious progress before we really worry about Treva Horme, etc.

5) I have the knowledge and capability of doing an Expanded Universe poll. Remember I used to publish Rogues' Gallery here? But believe me, it is a daunting task with so many eras to cover. There are some figures I really want (Villie, Jaina and Jacen Solo, a Yuuzhan Vong - or better, different Yuuzhan Vong characters and a generic warrior one). But I don't think I have the patience to delve into that. We tried that before, remember?

"I say patience" for the time being.

[Droid]

1) We're going to wait (at least about 1 month or a little less) before undertaking this kind of project, due to certain reasons that will become evident soon enough.

You got some scoop on figures that are going to be announced, Tycho?

Tycho, couldn't agree with you more. Young Owen and Beru are huge priorities right now. We don't want to let the modern era of figures pass without them just as it was a travesty that there was never a Tarkin, Owen, or Beru for the vintage figures.

I agree, Tycho. We should just leave the list as it is. I just thought adding the Episode III figures to the master list was a nice compromise between those who want to start all over and those of us who want to leave the list alone.

We probably shouldn't consider revising anything until a Toyfare winner is announced. How do we rank Yarna or Hermi right now when they could be confirmed within a short period of time?

[Tycho]

Nice to see our work survived the web war and SirSteve once again has prevailed, hence we have access to this. The Fans' Choice Figure and Comic Con should clear up some questions we might have on our progress here, but I also posted in Kidhuman's thread (in the modern retired forum) concerning when and if we should do some more work in this arena. The general conclusion is "wait until we know what we're getting for Christmas."

That's 8 -14 figures out of 50! (depends what satisfies you and how rumors will play out) Keep on going Hasbro!

(Plus Gragga and Sora Bulq which were very close to originally making this list!

*You need to tell Hasbro if Lushros Dofine counts for Daultay Dofine, if you want him repainted like Cat Min / Shu Mai, or what will satisfy you.

So we'll see if we get them all done. Try re-reading this thread to see how you feel the discussion went now that you've experienced some results.

BTW: Rep Been will be crossed off (originally Rep Teers made our list) - but I'm waiting for a picture (probably from Comic Con).

[Droid]

With the pictures out today I think you can cross off the Endor Luke and the Gungan Rep Been!

[Tycho]

Droid is correct! :laugh:

(Plus Gragga and Sora Bulq which were very close to originally making this list!

[Tycho]

Looks like with Comic Con, Pre-ToyFair (if they still do that), and Toy Fair 2007, we may be crossing off much more from our list if the production rumors Rebelscum posted pan out. (I can't believe we're getting Biggs in Academy Uniform and the Givin! Oh won't Deoxy be happy!)

Anyway, looking at our list of Still Wanted above, about 5 more are coming off when we get pictures confirming them (who knows what Padme from AOTC we'll get?)

CZ-3 might be possible as the droid with the Jawa, too. It doesn't necessarily have to be a short, stubby one like the Gonk was.

Considering how Lushros Dofine is pegwarming, btw, I think we should take Daultay Dofine off our list and those of you who want him, should just buy an extra Lushros. I could see them repainting Lushros in a few years or for a Trade Federation Battle Pack or what not, but not immediately soon.

Lando, the Lars, and Yarna continue to be avoided by Hasbro.

If they do Herme Odel, there's hope for Wioslea.

An R2D2 listed might be one of ours instead of a repack, ya know.

So we'll end up with 15-16-17 out of 50 by Comic Con 2007 (half-way through the 30th Anniversary). Not bad. We're almost halfway there. Now to go update the ROTS list - which they nearly completed.

I predict either the dome droid or multiarmed umbrella droid with the Jawa.

Daultay needs to stay on the list! It is a different figure! We shouldn't take figures off the list just because we think it is unlikely they'll produce one or because similar figures peg warm!

They specifically said the Lars weren't on their list in one of the Q&A. Galactichunter has a poll going about if the most wanted scene. I voted for the Lars Farm, which pains me given my love for the cantina and Jabba's palace. But I think Hasbro needs to see the love for the Lars family.

I have seen the movie. I have seen the original cut of the cantina scene from the Behind the Magic CD-ROM. Is the Givin ANYWHERE in the movie? Is it expanded universe? Was it an unused mask? Where was the Givin in the cantina? I have only seen the CCG card.

Yarna could still win the poll.

[Tycho]

I voted for the Lars Homestead as well - for the same reasons you did. We know we'll see more Jabba Palace and Cantina figures. Galactic Hunter should have given us Podracers and Club Outlander figures as choices, too. But "oh well." (Adam may have written that poll for them and I think he's sick and tired of "where are the Lars?" questions in his Q&A every week so maybe he wants to prove that they'll lose next to Jabba or Cantina Aliens. Of course they'll lose, but that doesn't mean they won't sell if they're offered.)

Yes, I could see the Dome Droid or the Multi-Armed Droid with a Jawa - but it could even (unfortunately) be a repack of the Gonk droid set. We need pictures! But the first two droids or CZ-3 would be very cool. We need all of them anyway. There's also that little green thing that rolls on the floor. I'd almost want that to be an accessory and not count as a 2-pack figure EVER!

I'll leave Daultay on the list unless there's an outcry to get him off. However, we took Padme as a Handmaiden off because of the Rabbe figure. Maybe the girls are closer in appearance than Daultay and Lushros are. I'm not very well practiced in observing background Niemoidian characters.

The Givin? I'll watch ANH pretty soon here and let you know. I think there's a "Stennis Shifter" or some kind of other skull-headed alien (the Givin is the Scream Mask actually) but the Shifter is more visible in part of the pan-around the cantina shots. One thing's for sure - we still have a LOT of Cantina Aliens on our Top 50 list above.

Yarna? We all know I could care less about her. What's the appeal. I like my women with just 2 of those....and definitely smaller than I am. I know KENNER originally sculpted a prototype of her but never took it beyond that stage and some of you nostalgic-completists want her. I say, "well yeah? Where's Romba, Warrick, Slim Aloo, Woof, the black Bespin Guard, a new sculpt for Paploo, Lumat, etc. first? They were actually all released in the original KENNER collection."

I think I voted for a Yuuzhan Vong - I'd buy the most (an army) of that figure - and low and behold if the rumors are true... (I'll be very happy and spending lots of money).

Edit: we took Padme Handmaiden off our list before we published the final results and closed it off - Rabe had just been shown at 2004's Comic Con I believe. Padme Black Leather Temptation had just enough votes over any other possible figure to sneak on at the bottom because the Handmaiden figure actually came out of our Top 10.

[Tycho]

I responded to Droid in my post immediately above with some discussion points some might find interesting.

[mastermatt24]

CZ-3 might be possible as the droid with the Jawa, too. I
I couldve swore he came with the sandcrawler.... he didnt, who am I thinkin of??

Is the Givin ANYWHERE in the movie? Is it expanded universe? Was it an unused mask? Where was the Givin in the cantina? I have only seen the CCG card.
I know he is in the EU, NJO in Rebirth I belive, and like you I remeber him from the ccg from waaay back when I was real little.

[Tycho]

I couldve swore he came with the sandcrawler.... he didnt, who am I thinkin of??


RA-7, the silver Death Star Droid.

[mastermatt24]

Ahh thats right. Well.. they kinda look alike :cross-eye

[dindae]

I hope we get one of the R2's but since the only 2 listed are ROTS wave and Marvel two pack I seriously doubt it. And CZ-3 is too big of a figure to be put in a two pack. Sorry don't mean to put a damper on optimism. I really think they will announce the Tonnikas at Comic Con. I'm even betting it will be with the curved piece of the bar. (see I can be optimistic too). I really hope we get a Lars pack soon. It only makes sense. They could do a pack like the Lucas family except the Lars Family. Instead of a 4th figure throw in a vaporator.

[mastermatt24]

The vaporator is a great Idea, it could be used in tons of peoples dioramas too..

[pegger]

Looks like our list didn't do SO well at the Con guys. Tagge and Wulf confirmed...but that's about it (I think)...

[Droid]

Looks like our list didn't do SO well at the Con guys. Tagge and Wulf confirmed...but that's about it (I think)...

Yep, Tycho better take the highlighting off nine of those possible choices. Rebelscum may prove right eventually or the rumor list may be just another in a long line of rumor lists. Hermi Odle we hardly knew ye.

[Tycho]

Pegger and Droid are correct, we have some unexpected additions to our list (Imperial Officers that we just saw pictures of) and some disappointing retractions we'd highlighted as hopefuls based on Rebelscum's rumors. Note: they still may happen, but we were just hoping for confirmation at Comic Con. I'm going to leave them in blue, pending the summer conventions tour and the fall Pre-Toy Fair. The first wave of '07's will hit in January according to Hasbro's presentation today, and that is before the traditional New York February Toy Fair.

(Plus Gragga and Sora Bulq which were very close to originally making this list!

So we'll see if we get them all done. Try re-reading this thread to see how you feel the discussion went now that you've experienced some results.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

I didn't get in on this thread while the selections were being made. I was just looking back through it a little bit. It's kind of cool to see that a lot of figures that were brought up early on have already been made, and now we have quite a few from the final 50 that have been made or announced.

The reason I was looking back through this thread is that I was wondering about Commander Willard from Yavin Base in ANH. I don't see him on the final list. I didn't notice him in the early polling either, but I didn't check the entire thread. He's a figure I'd like to see, since he is the one that greets Leia when they arrive.

[Tycho]

Commander Willard: interesting choice. I might have skipped offering him in the polling as I may have not thought of him when the Battle of Yavin was being polled for. It may also be that I personally only wanted Dodonna and Willard didn't factor in my own desires for a figure. Others could have written him in though - but he was not that high on anyone's wishlist.

This thread is interesting to re-read, as when looking back through it, you find Hasbro has done an excellent job making figures for the adult collectors in spite of a lack of Yarna and Wilrow Hood. Guys like Sora Bulq or Dud Bolt that did not make the final 50 list got produced anyhow.

With SSG's Dr. Evazan as my witness, this list and the discussion in this thread was delivered directly into the hands of Derryl Depriest, Brian, Mark, and more from Hasbro at Celebration 3, along with Kidhuman's polling list and thread link from which 36 of the same figures matched to my list. Derryl and others were very intrigued that 2 completely different polling methods generated the same 36 figures (though not in the same prioritized order) and our efforts here were discussed the following Monday after C3 concluded.

Excluding Revenge of the Sith, I think this is the most comprehensive way to look at the first 5 movies and take into account absolutely everything that could be rendered in plastic.

[Droid]

This thread is interesting to re-read, as when looking back through it, you find Hasbro has done an excellent job making figures for the adult collectors in spite of a lack of Yarna and Wilrow Hood. Guys like Sora Bulq or Dud Bolt that did not make the final 50 list got produced anyhow.


For those that truly want Wilrow, I hope that they get him, but I still think the whole thing started as a joke and many who want him still want him because they think it would be hilarious if he was made. You'll notice he is nowhere to be found on the list generated by this pollling, or in KH's list that he generated. I am just not sure that he is really wanted as much as some suggest. I don't think he should be lumped in with Yarna, who is much more prominent, was almost a Kenner figure, and is near the top in most lists.

EDIT: I just checked the thread and when voting was happening for the Bepsin characters, Willrow only got one vote.

[Tycho]

For those that truly want Wilrow, I hope that they get him, but I still think the whole thing started as a joke and many who want him still want him because they think it would be hilarious if he was made.

I agree with you Droid. I was just reviewing this thread again, seeing where the list might be updated for "check-offs."

But as for hilarious figures to be made, I think Hasbro made Jek Porkins for that reason. There was some fan interest - and the fans thought it would be funny. Hasbro did too, it seems.

This is why I'm subtly campaigning for Nyrat Agira. I don't have to have her to make a Club Outlander diorama, however she'd be interesting and make a cool (albeit sexy) figure - but she's really unnescessary and I just want to see if anyone cares if Hasbro makes her. But why waste the effort testing a figure I don't really want (Hat Lo for example)? I'd buy 1 (one) Nyrat Agira figure for sure, and she would turn out nice I'm sure!

Yeah, I think she barely got any votes in this poll as well as Wilrow Hood. Remember, we aren't re-polling until we get down to about 10 or so figures left on our list that Hasbro still hasn't made yet. Then with those (like the Saurin) done, characters like Wilrow Hood and Nyrat Agira will become far more important than having "a cloth accents resculpt of Momaw Nadon or something."

[Tycho]

We have confirmation from Darryl DePriest of the Biggs Darklighter in Academy Uniform figure being produced. I'd guess you'll have him in your collections by April or May (for some of us hound dogs, a bit earlier I'm sure).

I've updated accordingly. Pretty well-grounded rumors are still in blue.

I left R2D2 that way even though we've seen the "midnight oil burning R2 (vs the Super Battle Droids)" as another R2 might surface in the collection. Who knows?

Meanwhile, Padme's figure remains unrevealed and the AOTC Anakin that's in the Evolutions and AOTC Tin sets would be extremely useful as a carded figure even though we have him crossed off below.

So without any further adue:

43. Klaatu (Woof) - original Klaatu figure by Kenner in 1983, with sheepskin
44. Biggs Darklighter Academy (ANH Deleted Scenes)

50. Padme Black Leather Temptation (fireplace scene AOTC) - possible too, now

That's 18-20 or more figures out of 50! (depends what satisfies you and how rumors will play out) Keep on going Hasbro!

(Plus Gragga and Sora Bulq which were very close to originally making this list!

So we'll see if we get them all done. Try re-reading this thread to see how you feel the discussion went now that you've experienced some results.

This was an awesome effort and I'm glad to see a lot of our wishes were taken into account.

Tycho, didn't we already get R2 with the lightsaber several years back? Or are you referring to one with an actual "launching" saber?

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Tycho, didn't we already get R2 with the lightsaber several years back? Or are you referring to one with an actual "launching" saber?We did get a launching one in the Flashback set of figures, but based on our figure polls, that figure has only a little more love than POTF2 R5-D4.

[Tycho]

I'm not actually sure which is hated more. You can sort of hide the 97 R5D4 in a diorama and it's not that noticeable to those that don't know any better. The 98 R2 with Launching Lightsaber (Flashback) was one of the worts incarnations of any character, ever! (and that's saying something)

I don't think I voted for R2 in this poll, as generally resculpts are not my preference, but it really does need to be done eventually. I'm sure they can engineer some improvements and either changes in toy safety laws or corporate liability will allow them to do this right, or they'll come up with something else (like a clear blade so it's sort of "deactivated" and you only focus on Luke's hilt, like in the movie). Whatever the case about the saber, the 3rd leg has got to be rescaled. For detail's sake, I don't care if it actually launches and clears the dome. The 1985 figure (POTF coin figure) used a staggered simple lift-up option via a "ramp" of sorts inside Artoo's dome. For a Vintage, that figure looked OK then (by comparison with any other vintage R2). So for the modern, I'd rather he look right than launch that sucker 3 feet. R2D2 is not Slave-One, hehe.

In any case, looking at Hasbro closing in on completing nearly half of what we suggested (and really kicking butt on the separate ROTS poll we did), I think our choices were very well-thought-out and marketable.

Nearly every figure possibility in the 5 movies out at the time this poll was conducted were considered (and all were available for write-in). So really this thread rocked because you could go back and read through it, from any scene in any movie, and see what people thought of the merits of considering a character from that particular scene. This was one of my favorite threads on SSG ever!

[pegger]

This is an awesome thread - as is the best/worst thread!!!

[Tycho]

Well as we approach Toy Fair 2007, we have some more positive updates to our list! No real surprises. All that is happening is that some of the blue listed rumored figures have turned to black-crossouts. A great development to be sure. I think R2D2 has come back off the rumored list (either a lightsaber launcher or Endor Bunker Damaged one) though the Super Battle Droid Attack R2 is a more than cool and original idea to replace these with (though I still want both the other R2s made - maybe in late '07 or by 2008).

So here is the updated list. There are still some strongly rumored figures in blue. Let's hope.


Meanwhile, Padme's figure remains unrevealed and the AOTC Anakin that's in the Evolutions and AOTC Tin sets would be extremely useful as a carded figure even though we have him crossed off below. UPDATE: the Anakin is likely a long-haired Clone Wars Tatoo'd Anakin from Nelvanna. I'm not inclined to think we needed that.

So without any further adue:

That's still about 20 figures out of 50! (depends what satisfies you and how rumors will play out) Keep on going Hasbro!

(Plus Gragga and Sora Bulq which were very close to originally making this list!

So we'll see if we get them all done. Try re-reading this thread to see how you feel the discussion went now that you've experienced some results.

This was an awesome effort and I'm glad to see a lot of our wishes were taken into account.

[Droid]

If the newest list is true, you might be able to take off Herme Odel, Lando Smuggler, Han Bespin Torture Chair, Padme from the fireplace scene, and the Nightlilly off the list.

We know CZ-3, the Givin, and Biggs are coming off the list.

I still hope some others are announced for the year (Yarna, the Tonnikas...), but 8 in one year would be pretty good.

We'd have 6 out of our Top 10 choices. That's pretty good.

It would be 19 out of 50 so far. Getting close to half.

I wonder if the Jango (with poncho?) could be the apartment figure.

[Battle Droid]

Jango with Poncho is from a deleted scene on the DVD.

[Droid]

Which one? I don't remember a cut scene with Jango.

[Battle Droid]

This scene,

http://www.imagehosting.com/out.php/i162095_Jango.JPG

[Droid]

Oh, then I guess it couldn't double for the apartment Jango as it looks like he has his armor on under there.

[Tycho]

Yeah, he's wearing his armor under "the trash bag." But this way you'll have matching father-son figures in trash bags.

Meanwhile, I can't believe that the bag would disguise his identity from Anakin if that is what he sought to accomplish with it. :rolleyes:

[Tycho]

Now we have some pleasant surprises for this RUMOR-ONLY update (in blue) - but they're exciting so I went ahead and did it.

They include Han Torture Chair, and highlighting our Ewok choices, though I'd predict some of the vintage would be made first (Romba, Warok, Lumat, or a resculpt of Paploo, Wicket, or Logray - we get 2).

I took Padme Senator (AOTC) down from the rumored status, since "Black Leather Temptation Padme" is almost confirmed. Hopefully any Padme we get will sell well and Hasbro will continue to do more of them. She's very colorful as a figure (yellow, purple, blue, orange cream, etc.) Anyway, here's what it looks like for now:

Here's our Final TOP 50 LIST!


1. Hem Dazon (Arcona - Mos Eisley Cantina)
2. General Veers

This was an awesome effort and I'm glad to see a lot of our wishes were taken into account! ADDED: 2007 looks to be an awesome year! Look at all that BLUE!

There were 11 figures off this list in 2006 and there could be 11 more in 2007!

[Battle Droid]

This should pretty much confirm Hermi Odle. :D

[Droid]

FANTASTIC! NICE WORK BATTLE DROID!

Now lets just hope the scale isn't totally screwed up!

[Tycho]

The link didn't show me anything. Perhaps they took it down while I wasn't home?

In any case, it sounds like it was good news. Was there a picture or just a listing?

[Mad Slanted Powers]

Indeed, I see nothing either.

[Battle Droid]

It's just the heading on the top of the page, but it still confirms the figure.

[Mad Slanted Powers]

It's just the heading on the top of the page, but it still confirms the figure.
Ah, there it is. I overlooked that, or rather underlooked.

[Droid]

Tycho, you can cross out the Nightlilly. Looks like we won't see some of the other rumors at Toy Fair and will have to wait a while to see if some of the figures like Hermi Odle are coming!

[Tycho]

So we'll see if we get them all done.

[Tycho]

Well, my money is on at least Bom Vimdim or Brainiac for 2008.

Rebelscum.com: Cantina aliens seem to be more popular with collectors than Jabba's aliens. I believe the Cantina scene is the most iconic "space fantasy" scene ever. When determining which cantina alien to produce as a figure, do you base your decision more on movie scenes or on popularity of a character? For example, the descision to make Myo to fill the sceen with Muftak and Djas Phur. If it is based upon movie scenes what's the possibility of such characters as Arleil Schous, Brainiac, F'u Man-Chu, & Bom Vimdin to sit with our Hem Dazon?

Hasbro: We have to admit that we love our Cantina aliens, but don't necessarily agree with them being more popular than Jabba's Palace denizens, which have gained steam with collectors in recent years and seem to be popular in the Q&A, in online forms, and at conventions. We think the importance of both iconic scenes is that they, more definitely that perhaps any other scenes, transported us to a Galaxy Far, Far Away. We think It's best to "spread the love" to both of these iconic scenes in equal measures and you'll see us try to continue to do to that. As for Cantina character selects, since many of them have about the same screen time, we tend to base our selections on the ones we think look coolest and most uniquely Star Wars and are "must haves" for the Cantina fans. At least one of the ones you mentioned are scheduled for 2008. We hope, eventually, to be able to do all of them but the humans are taking a back seat a bit.

My reasoning on Arliel Shous the Defel is that he too closely resembles Lak Sivrak the Shistavenian Wolfman. Both were off-the-shelf werewolf outfits that Lucas had store-bought to help fill out the cantina. This is why he wanted them edited out in the Special Edition with Ketwol and that other alien that looked like the frog that thought he was Prince.

I don't know who F'u Man-Chu is, but assume he might be human with a Mandarin mustache. The Ranat or Zvizzit insect would be better choices. Bo Shek is the premier human in the bar (other than the main cast) and the Tonnika Sisters are close enough.

In any case, we are moving right along on our list, huh? Herme Odle and Han Solo Bespin Torture Rack are confirmed in Hasbro's Q&A as well. I'm just going to wait until we have a picture before I cross them out. They are already blue-listed so we know there's a great chance of seeing them. Hasbro said C4 for Herme Odle - so wait about another couple of months and we'll have pictures! :thumbsup:

That's about it for the moment. We may be at 23 / 50 from our list! Whoo-Hoo! (even the worst case scenerio gives us 20 / 50 - so that rocks!)

If you re-read this thread and all the various figure choices from the polls (they were seriously very complete) were we to get all of these 50 and we'd see all but the bottom of the barrel for our entire collection being complete!

[General_Grievous]

I'd say you're on to something with your Bom Vimdim guess, Tycho. He seems like a likely candidate for figure treatment.
