 Well what's your thoughts?

Mine,  a Weequay skiff master in the top 30? A rebel fleet trooper as well as a few head scratchers for me. Some are so Obscure I would doubt they would sell to anyone other than a die hard fan of  the 15 second screen time variety.

[Phatty]

A couple of my favs made the list, so I hope they get made eventually.  Especially Bastilla Shan and Jocasta Nu!  Jorus C'Boath, Darth Caedus, Darth Plageus, and Dash Rendar are also on top of my list!

[Clonehead]

Well, Tarkin is in there, I guess.

[Reconsgt]

I do like many of the choices but Corde' really?    Dorme"    Some on the list are really in need of a redo, Tarkin and Dash are prime examples of the original figs sucking big time and you would think that these could be done easily with altering current items.

[Phatty]

I agree.  I can't help but wonder if Hasblo had inserted some of their own choices because they're planning on those figs already, so it looks like they're meeting our demands.  I don't know who is honestly clammoring for a Corde, Dorme, or Queens Apailana or Jamillia.

[DocOutlands]

Pat, I've seen them actually making the lists on other sites.  *shrug*

WHERE ARE THE TONNIKA SISTERS??

Glad to see Kitster and Wald on there... that should be a shoe-in for the "kid-friendly" image Hasbro wants to portray.  Interesting list.  When do we start the final voting?

[Darth Aussie]

My top five...


1. Clegg Lars
2.Grand Moff Tarkin (A NEW HOPE) super detailed..!
3.Admiral Pellaeon
4.Dr. Evazan
5.Rebel Fleet Trooper


and my supplementary num....figure   ..... ......Joruus C'Baoth

[Reconsgt]

OK let me just ask this on the rebel fleet trooper, did we not get these already on the POTJ card and then again in the tantive BP?

[McMetal]

I've never even heard of 95% of these bozos.

My thoughts are that whoever thought up the concept for "Bunny-Man" should be kicked in the nuts repeatedly with an iron boot for years to come.

That is an affront to SW verging on utter blasphemy.

[night force cynic]

no Kister OR Wald please, especially not BOTH of them.  god, they were only slightly less annoying than the damn kid Anakin was.  I love Episode 1 but those two I would never ever buy figures of. 





Jocasta Nu?  pass.   Doallyn?  pass (skipped Bane Malar too).   Tzizvvt?  big pass.  Queens  Apailana and Jamillia?  bigger pass.  who cares about them.   Corde and Dorme?  REALLY? 

[DocOutlands]

Jaxxon = old-school Marvel comics

Kitster & Wold = kid bodies for fodder

Sarge - sure we got RFT's, but they SUCK compared to the figs we have now.  If we could get SA RFT's that would be awesome.  Army-building forEVer!
