Title: VPTC ( Vintage Prequel Trilogy Collection)
Post by: Clone Commander on February 14, 2006, 09:28 PM
Since the VOTC figures were such a hit, why not VPTC?
Here are my ideas.

Phantom Menace.
SA Maul.
SA Qui-gon
SA Obi-wan
SA Padme

Attack of the Clones:
SA Jango Fett with removable helmet
SA Mace Windu (Soft Goods Cape?) 
SA Clone Trooper( Clone wars rehash with rifle)
SA Jedi (Variations)

Revenge of the Sith:
SA Anakin (Evolutions?)
SA BARC Trooper
SA Barris Offee
SA Aayla Secura?


Just some thoughts.

Yup, I'd buy just about every one of those.  Some of them could be accomplished by just tossing the evolutions figure into a VPTC package, those I'd pass on for an opener but still may buy a carded one.

They could take the new biker scout and paint the BARC camo on it...

You know, I have to believe we're going to see PT 'vintage' cards in this new VTSC line.  It is the 'saga collection.'  I don't know.  I would hope to see some, but here's the dream list:

TPM:
SA Qui Gon Jinn
SA Darth Maul
Padme Handmaiden
SA Obi Wan Kenobi

AOTC
SA Jango Fett
SA Battle Droid
SA Yoda
SA Mace Windu

ROTS
SA Senate Duel Palpatine
SA Anakin Skywalker
SA General Grievous (separating arms)
SA 501st Clone Trooper
Title: Re: VPTC ( Vintage Prequel Trilogy Collection)
Post by: Jeff on February 15, 2006, 12:01 AM
Let's see... last time this topic came up, this is what I wanted:

TPM
* Qui Gon Jinn
* Darth Maul
* Obi-Wan Kenobi
* Mace Windu

AOTC
* Obi-Wan Kenobi
* Padme Amidala
* Count Dooku
* Anakin Skywalker

ROTS
* Anakin Skywalker
* Palpatine/Sidious
* Ep3 Clone Trooper
* General Grievous

OK, granted this was before RotS was even released.  I guess my list needs some updating.  Would look like this I guess:

TPM
* Qui Gon Jinn
* Darth Maul  Queen Amidala
* Obi-Wan Kenobi
* Mace Windu

I can live with the Evo Maul, I guess at this point I'd rather see a new Queen Amidala mixed in there.  Pick one of the outfits they haven't done yet and give here a cool soft-goods approach.


AOTC
* Obi-Wan Kenobi
* Padme Amidala (Arena Battle)
* Count Dooku Jango Fett
* Anakin Skywalker (Peasant Disguise)

Again, I can skip Dooku because of the Evo set version.  I'd replace him with Jango and cause we need a really really nice one.  I think Anakin (Jedi) is covered by the Evo set, so I'd like the vPTC Anakin to be the Peasant version to make up for that awful "saber-in-arm" version we got.  Give him lots of articualtion and a soft-goods poncho.   :)


ROTS
* Anakin Skywalker  Anakin (Darth Vader)
* Palpatine/Sidious
* Ep3 Clone Trooper (501st specifically)
* General Grievous

Wow, lots of changes here. 
- I love the Evo Anakin, so I don't need a another one, but on the other hand, I'd love a SA version of "Sith Eyes Anakin.  Take the Evo Anakin and give him the Sith Eyes weather look and that'd be sweet.
- Palpatine I'd keep, but I'd make him more of a Chancellor Palpy with new cloth robe instead of the "Evil" Darth Sidious head like the Evo set had.
- The Clone I'd keep, but I'd make him a 501st like others have mentioned.

Yeah... those would work out real nice.   :)

How can the word Vintage be associated in anyway with the prequel figures? It's an oxymoron.
Title: Re: VPTC ( Vintage Prequel Trilogy Collection)
Post by: Jeff on February 15, 2006, 10:26 AM
Because calling it the "Prequel Trilogy Collection Done in the Style of the Vintage Kenner Star Wars Line" is far too long for the title of a line?  Yes, technically I supposed it should be called something like the PTKHC (Prequel Trilogy Kenner Homage Collection), but that's a lame title too. 

I guess I just see it as the same way a store like Ragstock can sell "vintage" clothing even though the clothes were made 2 months ago.  We know that they aren't real "vintage" clothes, meaning old, but rather vintage, meaning in the style of an older era.

Two questions Jeff in regards to your updated list:

1.  Would your 501st suggestion be all new tooling or a repaint of the #41 clone?  Seems to be a waste to retool the ROTS clone.  Are you just looking for a really cool cardback?   :D

2.  RE:  Jango Fett - can one simply repaint the VOTC Boba to accurately recreate Jango?  Or are there other differences that involve molds?

Just curious... is this really a posting for SA prequel figures or people want to pay extra for the fancy card and star case?  Personally, I just as soon see some nice SA prequel figures in the style of pilot Obi for the basic figure price and forget about paying $10+ for the packaging.  If we are just talking about SA prequel figures, (otherwise, I'm really not interested in paying $10 + for any prequel figures) Chewie's list works for me: 

Phantom Menace
SA Maul
SA Qui Gon
SA Obi Wan
SA Battle Droid

Attack of the Clones
SA Jango Fett with removable helmet
SA Mace Windu (Agen Kolar type cape) 
SA Clone Trooper (Clone Wars rehash with rifle and removable helmet)
SA Arena Padme

Revenge of the Sith
SA Emperor (Senate Duel)
SA BARC Trooper
SA General Grievous
SA Super Battle Droid

I believe I said so the other time it came up, but as opposed to VOTC I'd not see myself ponying up $10-12 USD for a VPTC figure. 

I'm sure the packaging would look great, but it's not vintage in nature.  At all.  So why bother?  With VOTC I like the redone cardbacks in pristine condition.  I like the clamshell, even if it is lower quality.  I like the figures being well done.  But I just couldn't swallow it with VPTC.  Don't encourage Hasbro :P

Not Jeff but, Jango & Boba suits are quite a bit different: especially the thigh & shin armor on Jango versus the pockets and shin tools on Boba, not to mention the boots

2. RE: Jango Fett - can one simply repaint the VOTC Boba to accurately recreate Jango? Or are there other differences that involve molds?

1. It could be the #41 sculpt of the Target RotS Clone Sculpt, that would be fine as long as it's a 501st Trooper that is NOT the #38 body.

2.  A repaint of Jango would be a good start, but I believe they had different gauntlets/legs so he might need a bit of retooling on the limbs or a new backpack.

Well, I guess I'm one of the ones who would actually wouldn't mind the "fancy card and star case" look for a few Prequel Characters.  I don't need them all done that way, but a few would be cool I think.  It'd make a cool display to have a "vintage homage" line up on the wall that went like this

12-back Vader
vOTC Vader
"vintage Homage card" Ep3 Anakin

Maybe it doesn't make sense to try it, but I think it would look cool to see a carded Ep3 "Sith Eyes" Anakin with a nice big photo on the card like the olden days, instead of that figure inside a big old space-wasting bubble on a flame background.

I just really dig the look of the vintage style cards and think they'd make a really cool display set if done right.  Of course, if you are not the kind of collector who puts up wall displays of carded figures, then I guess I can easily see why you wouldn't endorse it.

Obviously, SA figures in the basic line would be the best idea, but seeing "vintage homage" style cards for a few prequel figures would be kind of cool IMHO.  ;)

I totally agree.  Just imagine those big head shots of PT characters -- Qui Gon, Mace, Anakin, Padme -- in those vintage style cards.  Sweetness.

Placing say, a super articulated Darth Maul on an Episode One cardback could qualify as a "Vintage" Prequel Trilogy Collection action figure.  Putting the same figure on a Vintage style card completely defeats the purpose of any such line.

I'll have to agree. I have to say that putting prequel characters on a vintage style cardback doesn't have the "nostalgia" that a classic trilogy character would have, which is what I think drives the VOTC line (aside from the great figs). I think Hasbro will probably come out with different avenues to put out "premium" prequel 3 3/4 figs. Like they did with the Evolution packs.

Same here. With respect to all who would love to see it, I think the idea is disrespectful to the vintage line. :-X

I don't even want to see OT characters that were never made in the vintage line done on vintage cards.

I am glad that we can all agree on this. Hasbro can make a VOTC quality line of Prequel action figures, but they should not be placed on Vintage style cardbacks.

Oh, and the Original Trilogy is the best.   :P

Post by: Brian on April 13, 2006, 03:30 PM
The combination of watching TPM lately and rearranging my prequel trilogy display cabinet helped me to realize how we could really use new versions of the main characters from both TPM and AOTC.  Maybe "vintage" isn't the right area for it, but if we can't get them in the basic line I hope that we see the Evolutions concept resurrected.  Its been discussed before, but there are several figures that really could use new incarnations.  The TPM figures seem pretty dated compared to the ROTS/TSC offerings, and many of the AOTC era figures are in the statue/non articulated style.  Some I'd like to see re-done now, whatever line we can get them in:

The Phantom Menace
Qui-Gon Jinn - one of my favorite PT characters, and his figures really aren't too stellar.  Give us one in the style of ROTS Pilot/TSC Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Obi-Wan Kenobi - Again, his figures just look basic compared to what has been done in recent years.  Ditto on the ROTS Pilot version, heck just sculpt a new head and they'd be pretty close.
Padme Amidala - We can always use more Padmes, so basically take your pick here.  A new, well articulated one would be welcome.
Jar Jar Binks - This is one we probably won't see, and not that I'm a big fan of Binks either, but his figure(s) either look dated or really static.  A new SA one wouldn't be so bad.
Anakin Skywalker - Not sure if we need a new one or not, the first version really isn't too bad - just under articulated.  We'd probably be surprised at how much better they could make one now though.

Attack of the Clones
Obi-Wan Kenobi - The Outlander Club one isn't too bad, but again, they could do one (maybe just a new head) in the style of the ROTS/TSC version and we'd be set.
Mace Windu - Either movie really, but we still really haven't gotten a decent version of Mace.
Padme - Again, tons of version to choose from.  I wouldn't mind having a new SA version of the Arena Padme.  The "Factory Chase" one isn't too bad, aside from the screaming face sculpt.  Maybe a new head on that figure would go a ways.
Jango Fett - One that's been mentioned a lot, but the versions we've gotten in the past aren't the greatest.  My favorite is probably the "Kamino Escape" version, but it could really be improved on.  Base it off the VOTC Boba Fett sculpt, and maybe retool/repaint a few things - or maybe an all new sculpt is needed.

I'm pretty satisfied overall with the ROTS offerings.  We've got a good Obi-Wan, the Evolutions Anakin is pretty nice (although it could have been in the basic line too), the Padme we got isn't bad (but we could always use more), and within the basic line and Evolutions sets we got nice versions of Dooku, Palpatine, clones, Jedi, etc.  If anything, we could maybe use different versions of Palps that we haven't seen (or that could be improved on), more Padmes, and as always, more clones.  As far as the other movies, Anakin might be decently covered through the Evolutions sets (aside from kiddo Anakin), and the Obi-Wans might be able to be done with just new heads on the ROTS/TSC figure.  Anyways, this just came to mind again after re-arranging some of those prequel figures recently.  I really hope we see all new sculpts for Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan (TPM/AOTC), Mace Windu, and Jango Fett if nothing else.

Post by: Nicklab on April 13, 2006, 04:13 PM
Certainly a topic worthy of discussion.  The guys at Hasbro seem into the concept, but it might take a while to get around to these.  Still, here's what might be a good first lineup.

THE PHANTOM MENACE
-Qui-Gon Jinn
-Darth Maul
-Battle Droid
-Queen Amidala

ATTACK OF THE CLONES
-Anakin Skywalker
-Obi-Wan Kenobi
-Count Dooku
-Jango Fett

REVENGE OF THE SITH
-Darth Vader
-General Grievous
-Darth Sidious
-Yoda
Title: Re: VPTC ( Vintage Prequel Trilogy Collection)
Post by: Brian on April 13, 2006, 04:17 PM
Ah, Grievous is one I forgot.  Although we did see several versions in the ROTS lineup (and now repacked in TSC), we really could use an all-new (larger) sculpted one.  Watching ROTS helps me to realize that the figures are fairly underscaled.  And, even though we've seen more than a few Yodas in the prequel lines, they still haven't exactly gotten him "perfect".  They could probably make an improvement there too.
Title: Re: VPTC ( Vintage Prequel Trilogy Collection)
Post by: Morgbug on April 13, 2006, 04:27 PM
I'm not at all opposed to high quality PT figures, but I just see no appeal in mimicing the vintage styling for those movies.  They were never on that style of cardback so why bother?  Blasphemous I say. 

I wouldn't mind seeing the main characters (and important lesser characters) being done in a highly articulated manner, but I see no point in paying the $4-5 premium for an underserved cardback.

I think everyone recognizes just how iconic those original cardbacks were.  Even Hasbro did, since they tried to rekindle that nostalgia with the OTC line.  It seems like the ultimate achievment for a Star Wars character to be made on one of these cards.

Though George Lucas on a Stormtrooper card is a bit blasphemous as well, so I think there's enough room for play on the slippery slope. I honestly don't care what the cardback looks like, just as long as we can get vTOC/vTSC quality articulation, sculpt, and soft goods. Unfortunately it looks like we're living in a new world where we have to pay more to get it. so I'll play along with what I'd want out of the overpriced line:

I'd like them to mix waves instead of a per-movie release. And my list of figures I think need the oomph of a $10+ figure hasn't changed much:

Qui-Gon Jinn (TPM)
Obi-Wan (TPM)
Jango Fett (AOTC)
Padme Amidala (AOTC Geonosis)
Mace Windu (ROTS)
General Grievous (ROTS)

If those were covered I'd be happy.

That's a good point about the Lucas Trooper.  Maybe Hasbro is testing the waters on how far they can go with not so vintage vintage cards.  Me personally, I'd love PT vintage cards, and I'd bet dollars to doughnuts it will happen.

Good point Jared, and I like your list as well.  I'd be pretty happy if we got those 6 figures in the "VOTC" style as well.  I agree with what Brent mentioned earlier, I don't feel these necessarily have to be on the "vintage" cards either - because they're not vintage.  If they want to design something new for them, that's fine - and it would be ideal if we could just get them in the "regular" line for $6ish, but that probably won't happen.  The Evolutions set option really could have worked for these, and hopefully they'll go back to that sort of a line eventually.  I don't care how we get them carded/packaged wise, as long as we can get some nice new, SA figures of these characters.  I'd be ok if the "vintage" carded thing remained with the OT - and only using the figures that actually had vintage cards.  Sure, I want to see other OT characters - and remakes like "old" Tarkin - but hopefully we can see those in the regular line.

Like I said earlier in this thread, if they made them, I'd probably buy them.

Sure it's blasphemous to some to even consider it, but you all know you'd love to buy a SA JarJar on a "vintage" style card.  :P

I still think though that the best way to do it would be to grind out the VTSC/VOTC type stuff until they have covered all 93-100 Kenner figures and meanwhile grind out Evolutions style 3-packs for the prequel stuff.  No one would have a problem with that I think... well, OK someone would have a problem with it because some people will have a problem no matter what Hasbro does.   ;)

Sure it's blasphemous to some to even consider it, but you all know you'd love to buy a SA JarJar on a "vintage" style card.  :P
