While mostly visually boring, this movie contains some really neat-o undone characters and represents the bulk of my list here:

1. Bom Vimdin
2. Wioslea
3. R1 Droid
4. Hem Dazon
5. Dannik Jerriko
6. Tonnika Sisters Two Pack
7. Colonel Wulf Yularen
8. Braniac
9. Feltipern Trevagg
10. Red Leader

And I realize the Tonnika's have a slim to none chance of ever being done but I can dream can't I???

<hick> Whoooo boy! </hick>

Alright, great figures to be made from ANH... I dunno where to start.

1. Araconda (?) Unsure of spelling but he's the glitter-eyes alien seen in cantina. his head pops up and ducks down at beggining of Cantina song.

2. Cz - There's 2 or 3 CZ's in ANH, I'd take a couple any random white one.

3. Admiral Motti (re-hash) - I've never seen one in stores, and his asking $ is ridiculous online.

4. R5D4 (scene w/ Jawa's)

5. Mine Droid (scene w/ Jawa's)
6. Red Leader (Dutch, right?)

7. White-tunic Imperial Officer (Wulf)

8. Gold Leader

9. Pilot w/ black and red tiger stripe helmet

10. The black-tunic officer in Tantive scene w/ Vader ("Leave that to me.")

Hey, am I in time for this one or are Scott and Matt going to crap on me again (can I say crap)? ::) :P

6. Tonnika sisters - bandwagon, yippee

Hey, well done Brent!  Quite on time this go 'round!  Did you get a reminder from Scott, or did you make it over here all on your own...?  Did you vote in the poll on the main page yet?  That's ending this Sunday, so there's the next deadline for you!

...And I think Scott meant you could include my wife in the "Top 5 Hottest Babes" thread (or whatever it's called), and wasn't suggesting you ask for an action figure of her.  I'm pretty sure she wasn't in ANH...

Love the new name, BTW.  Loved the old one too!  I think we'll let the word "crap" slide, at least this time...  Just please don't stop by the "Lakers Suck" thread and post anything about their butt kicking by the pathetic Bulls tonight.  Pretty please...   :-[

1. Biggs Darklighter (Anchorhead cut footage)

7.  version of Dodonna not made  
8. redo of Han and luke in ST disguise (Detention Block)  
9. R5-D4 (redo)
10. R1-G4

just curious, where's the AOTC wish list?
Title: Re:Defender Wish Lists: Episode IV: Star Wars (A New Hope)
Post by: Scott on March 12, 2003, 10:30 AM
I was going to wait on the AOTC list until after we find out about the Screen Scenes (War Room and JC Council) and such which will hopefully be today

Hopefully that Lars playset is still coming too...all of which may lead to some drastically different choices for AOTC ;)
Title: Re:Defender Wish Lists: Episode IV: Star Wars (A New Hope)
Post by: Thomas Grey on March 13, 2003, 01:14 AM
10. R2-X2 (seen with R4-M9 in first scene)
9. Sandtrooper (new colored shoulder pouldron) w/Imperial Sentry Droid
8. Cantina Alien 2-Packs with any of the following: Dannick Jerriko (pipe smokin' mofo), Brainiac, Tonnika Sisters, Defel (batman), Elise Helrot, Myo, M'iiyoom Onith, Feltipern Trevagg, Advozse (Alien with horn)...
7. New Stormtrooper(s) - in the TCG, they list several ranks, I would like to see Hasbro try and specify these and make each rank have specific markings... The following are what I know: Ranks Commander, Squad Leader, Elite Squad Member, TK-119, TK-421, TK-875, HE-829, DV-523 & DV-692.
6. Imperial Colonel Yularen
5. Han Solo & Greedo 2-Pack with Cantina backdrop, table, chairs... both posable to sit and discuss before the inevitable demise of Greedo

2. Princess Leia Organa (in shackles, 'slipping through your fingers' scene w/Moff Tarkin)

[Edited to take into consideration JediMAC's observation that some of us have been a tad overzealous using cinema scene and deluxe figures].


1. General Jan Dodonna
2. Captain Antilles
3. R1-G4 [to replace Scene Pack Sandcrawler droids 3 packs (especially R1-G4, R5-D4 & the mining droid).]
4. General Tagge [to take the place of my original #4, which wasDeluxe Death Star Tractorbeam console/catwalk w/ Obi-Wan Kenobi w/ hood down]
5. Dannik Jerriko
6. Bom Vimdin
7. Myo
8. Colonel Wulf Yularen
9. R5-D4
10. Hem Dazon
Title: Re: Defender Wish Lists: Episode IV: Star Wars (A New Hope)
Post by: MisterPL on March 20, 2003, 02:51 PM
Hasbro really needs to finish the Cantina aliens and other obscure characters before they drop the 3 3/4" altogether, take a year-long hiatus, and jumpstart with a 6" line of definitive Star Wars figures. To that end they should consider offering the following:

- Cantina Boxed Sets: a few sets that include never-before-done figures like the Tonnika Sisters, Kitik Keed'kak, Myo, Bom Vimdin, and last but certainly not least Hem Dazon. Resculpts of existing figures like Dr. Evazan or reissues like Figrin D'an might be welcome and could help keep costs down.

- Imperial Forces: I'd really like a set of figures from the Death Star that includes the hard-to-find Motti figure along with a resculpted Tarkin, a Colonel Wulf Yularen and a General Tagge. Old guys in military dress rock. (Especially if they come with that cool table.)

- Rebel Forces: Ditto for the good guys. Characters like General Dodonna, Commander Bob Hudsol and Del Goren would be great huddled around the Yavin tactical monitor. Throw in a generic technician like Col. Feyn Gospic and I'm happy.

- Droids, droids, droids: The sandcrawler scene was for robots what the cantina scene was for aliens and dammit, I can't get enough! I want a box shaped like the Jawa sandcrawler with a flip-up lid revealing a window featuring the following droids: R5-D4, WED Treadwell, CZ-3, RA-7, LIN-V8K Demolition Droid, and R1-G4.

- Anchorhead: Letting my geek out here. I want Biggs and Camie and Fixer and Deak from the cut scenes. Heck I'd even take another Wormie if Hasbro would finally include his poncho.

- The Homestead: As much as I like the first incarnations of Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru, they look pretty sick next to the more current figures. Resculpt  and accessorize them with a 2X-3KPR maintenance droid, a fully articulated Treadwell, and a few scurriers and I'm tickled.

- Concept Art: The McQuarrie Stormtrooper is just the tip of the iceberg. Give me the rest. Concept versions of Chewbacca, Luke, Leia, the droids, and especially Vader are all dying to be offered as a boxed set. I know this is EU, but it's GOOD EU.  ;D

Sorry about breaking formation, I was on a roll. If I had to choose my Top Ten from all those I've mentioned, they'd be the following:

- Tonnika Sisters
- Kitik Keed'kak
- Myo
- Hem Dazon
- General Tagge
- Anchorhead Biggs
- Del Goren
- R1-G4
- CZ-3


Technically that's ten, but I've got to scream out for a Concept Vader to go with that Stormtrooper that's coming out. Love that McQuarrie art!

Now that's a VERY cool idea MPL!

Hopefully when the real Sandcrawler finally hits (later this year I believe), Hasbro will focus on getting a few more of these great droids out on the market to go with it...  I love droids!

I suppose I still owe you my Top 10 list, huh Scott?  Can I just copy MPL's suggestions above?  I mean the paragraphs full of figure ideas, and not just his Top 10 list.  Or are you going to make me stick to 10, and not 50 or so...?
Title: Re: Defender Wish Lists: Episode IV: Star Wars (A New Hope)
Post by: Scott on March 20, 2003, 03:59 PM
10 only, I had a hard time paring mine down to 10 as well, there is a ton of background stuff in ANH from Pilots to droids to Officers to Aliens
Title: Re: Defender Wish Lists: Episode IV: Star Wars (A New Hope)
Post by: MisterPL on March 20, 2003, 04:43 PM
Whittling the choices down to ten was a bear. I'd hate to be Star Wars product manager for Hasbro. (That's a bald-faced lie.)

That Sandcrawler idea just came to me. Must be the creative environment I'm posting in. I think I'll stay. ;)

Slightly OT, I have sketches I did of a Sandcrawler carrying case that would be perfect for an exclusive figure or two. It would be sculpted, of course, but double as a foldout play environment similar to the Episode I Artoo-Detoo carrying case. Dang that was a fun case. I bought two.

Maybe we could have a Top Ten ANH Vehicles/Playsets list some time?

4. Elis Helrot
5. Feltipern Trevagg
6. Tonnika Sisters
7. Myo
8. Wioslea
9. CZ-3

OK, after many days of deep and serious contemplation on the matter (as well as a significant amount of time spent at Red 6's), my Top 10 list is finally ready to go!  Forget everyone else's lists, this is THE list that Hasbro should be working off of.  Period.  End of story.  JediMAC has spoken.  So without further ado...

That should do it!  Kudos to the close runners up who just missed out on the Big Dance: Brainiac, Red Leader Garven Dreis, and Colonel Wulf Yularen!  Better luck next time fellas...

Just checked the other lists, and Mikey D is right on target with his choices!  As long as Mike can take a Treadwell Droid instead of Dannik Jerikko, he should be a happy man, assuming Hasbro does what it's told, and uses MY list!   8)   ;)

I must say that some folks around here are getting a tad bit overzealous with their choice of "10" figures though.  This ain't 10 Cinema Scenes or dioramas guys!  Gotta narrow a few of those lists down, eh.   :P

Hasbro should just package the treadwell droid with Dannik and we'll both be happy.  It can be from the ultra rare never before seen footage of when Dannik stopped by Luke's place for a smoke.  ;)

Just to respond to CloneF13Y35  list...

They made a Ceremonial Leia in the POTF2 Princess Leia Collection 2-Packs. She came with Ceremonial Luke. With all of your 'Ceremonial' figures, I can't believe your are leaving out the emaculately groomed Ceremonial Chewbacca! Come on everyone! Let's give it up for the clean and well-groomed WOOKIEE!!!

Bummer also that I only got 6 of my 10 choices!  What's up with that?!   :'(  How can folks not want that sweet Treadwell Droid and that freak lookin' Wioslea?!  Boring ol' human characters...  Guess I can't get all of my Cantina aliens in one fell swoop, huh?

And you thought your list was the list, huh Matt?  Don't you know people love freaky looking pot smokers and not multi-armed, multi-tasking droids (well, maybe women prefer the latter  ;))?  But there's still hope that Hasbro packages them together.

okay, just who voted on this since no on is happy with this list?   Too many rebel pilots.  If they want to do "boring ol' human characters, I'd much rather see the Antilles and rebel & imperial leaders/officers made before a bunch of bland pilots are made.  I definitely would liket to see the Treadwell droid, mining droid, R5-D4 before the pilots.  Not that I wouldn't love to have the pilots.... they could just come wayyyyyyyyyy down the list for me.  If people want the Tonnika sisters so bad, they should just put them in a seen in Ep. III then there wouldn't be a problem.   Hasbro would be using the new actresses' likenesses.

I was suprised how high the Red and Gold Leaders ranked as well personally I find background humans just as exciting as aliens.  Hasbro doesn't though...Antilles and Dodonna will be retail poison I think but I am glad they are coming

Same goes for Tagge, although him, Red Leader, Gold Leader and the other two Rebel Generals are some of the few characters left who had multiple lines in the movie and no figures yet

I also think R and G LEader could be done ala the upcoming Outlander Patrons using the same X-Wing Jumpsuit and different heads and helmets.  Throw in R2 units and you have a goldmine (maybe not literally)  :P

Post by: Jesse James on April 6, 2003, 07:04 PM
Welp, I'm late, but I'm voting...  So tough.

1) New Rebel Fleet Trooper...  Yes, he does suck and needs a new figure.  What's he gonna have?  Well I'm glad I asked because here it comes...

-Removeable helmet with thin rubbery strap (Check out the X-treme Detail paratroopers.  It's 100% feasible!!!)

-Functioning holster with PROPERLY scaled blaster.

-Removeable vest with pliable plastic (Not that rigid job the POTJ figure got).

-3 unique 1970's hairstyled head variants.  Yup, 70's are back and we're gonna get that old fart that dropped faster than a dress on prom night when the stormies blasted in.

-14 points of articulation including a ball/socket shoulder as well as the swivel-pin joint knee.

-And if I did him, he'd get a couple EU accessories like a bandoleir of grenades and a shoulder sachel.

2) Yavin Rebel Technician...  He'd come with multiple articulation points, a removeable tech helmet (Minus the neck piece the soldiers wear), a couple tools, and a removeable headset incase you want him working in the war room.

3) Reissue of the CT Stormie...  Give him some wrist articulation, a working holster, and maybe swivel-pin knees...  Great figure then.

4) Astromech 3-pack (Yeah, 3 figures I know but the thing's done so my vote isn't important anyway).  3 different decos, 3 different heads...  Hell, they could even make variants of this pack and we all know we'd buy them in bulk!

5) Sauron 2-pack...  I want em both from the Cantina.

6) Hem Dazon...  He needs it folks!  First alien in the Cantina we see.  I want him!

7) Cantina Snitch...  I want the human Garof Lafoe...  Goes out, tells sandies about Obi's little incident with the thugs.

8) Rebel Mid-level officer...  Brown tunic, tan hat with a yellow emblem...  Multiple articulation points, and a removeable hat of course. :)  Maybe multiple head variants.

9) Rebel Pilot...  3 head variants with 3 helmet variants.  You get Gold Leader, Red Leader, and a non-descript blue emblemed younger pilot with black visor.

10) And finally, drunk jawa 3-pack...  I want drunk jawas by god!

Well,  It looks like I should be VERY happy, as my top 3 choices are confirmed figures for 2004.  So, it looks like I need to update my ANH wishlist as well.  I believe we are supposed to get a CZ droid with the inevitable Sandcrawler & Hem Dazon is rumored, so I won't add either.

[Edited to take into consideration JediMAC's observation that some of us have been a tad overzealous using cinema scene and deluxe figures].

1. General Jan Dodonna
2. Captain Antilles
3. R1-G4 [to replace Scene Pack Sandcrawler droids 3 packs (especially R1-G4, R5-D4 & the mining droid).]
4. General Tagge [to take the place of my original #4, which was Deluxe Death Star Tractorbeam console/catwalk w/ Obi-Wan Kenobi w/ hood down]
5. Dannik Jerriko
6. Bom Vimdin
7. Myo
8. Colonel Wulf Yularen
9. R5-D4
10. Hem Dazon

So, my new improved list:

#1   General Tagge
#2   Colonel Wulf Yularen
#3   R5-D4 (resulpt) - I don't count the Star Tours one.
#4   Treadwell Droid (Purchase of the droids)
#5   Mining droid (Purchase of the droids)
#6   Dannik Jerriko
#7   Bom Vimdin
#8   Wioslea
#9   Tonnika Sisters
#10 Yavin Rebel Technician

What was I thinking???  I just re-read my list and released I took Hem Dazon off the list!  I guess I'll have to remove #8  Wioslea, since I like the boring human Dannik Jerriko.

...my ANH Top 10 list is finally ready to go!  Forget everyone else's lists, this is THE list that Hasbro should be working off of.  Period.  End of story.  JediMAC has spoken.  So without further ado...

  • Hem Dazon (Arcona) - The classic Cantina alien that started it all!
  • Tonnika Sister(s) - I won't cheat and demand a 2-pack like EVERYONE else...
  • Bom Vimdin - Cool lookin' Cantina alien
  • Feltipern Trevagg (Gotal) - Ditto
  • Myo - One eyed alien freak
  • Elis Helrot (Givins) - The inspiration for the ghost from Scream
  • Wioslea - This poor guy probably never gets the ladies, despite his cool new Landspeeder
  • CZ-3 - Gotta agree with Morgbug: Sexy eyes for a droid
  • WED15-1662 Treadwell Droid - The cool spider lookin' droid with more arms than anyone but FX-7
  • R1-G4 - Can this majestic statue of a droid actually move?  8)

Dammit.  It's been well over a year now since I posted this list, and I've gotten exactly ONE of these figures, with absolutely ZERO solid rumors or news on any of the others potentially coming.  This sucks!  This was supposed to be the year of POTJ II, and I'm starting to get pretty damned disappointed with some of the glaring exclusions from this year's line...   :'(

There's still another 2 - 3 unannounced waves (at least one of which will be Prequel figures) rumored to be coming prior to the Ep. 3 onslought next year, so Hasbro damned well better finally get a freaking Cantina wave out already!!!  What the hell's the hold up with these guys?!?   >:(

I have the spelling wrong Matt.  The alien I am talking is Saurin, my goof.  He was also seen in Cloud City and on Jabbas barge. I believe the one at the cantina was a smaller version.

Heres a great visual site for all the characters we will probably never see :P

TWO Saurin were in the Mos Eisley Cantina, Sai'torr and Hrchek Kal Fas:

I agree, they are very cool aliens and different enough from Bossk to warrant a figure.

Post by: Brian on July 28, 2004, 10:56 AM
One I'd like to add to the list, and I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be from "A New Hope", but I'd really like to see a newly sculpted, nicely done, single carded Wedge Antilles.  I never got the earlier version, and sculpting/painting methods have come quite a ways since then, and is one figure I'd definitely want Hasbro to produce before its all said and done.  He's a pretty big supporting character, and at least significant to the overall OT storyline.  Hopefully we'll see a new one, eventually.

Post by: Scott on July 28, 2004, 10:57 AM
I do like the Saurins...they are pretty easy customs though with a heap pop and swap with Bossk and Ponda Baba and a few strokes of paint.  I think it might be a little tall but its good enough for me...Its good enough for me....Its good enough, ya ya ya ya ya ya
Title: Re: Defender Wish Lists: Episode IV: Star Wars (A New Hope)
Post by: Jeff on July 28, 2004, 11:10 AM
Yeah... I did that.   :-*

I used two cheap clearance Bossks from the PotF2 green card blowouts to craft my two custom Saurin.  One, I did just what you said Scott, I used a Ponda Baba body and painted him (black pants, ugly green/yellow jacket like in the picture.  

The second, to be a bit different, I used a Ep1 Rune Haako for the body and painted up the robes.  This gave the second one a different look, with a bit of a difference in height and head position.

BUT, I'd still like an official Hasbro version though.

Jeff

ps.
I really should get off my lazy ass and finaly take some snap shots of my custom figures now that I have a digital Camera...  maybe I'll do that tonight with a feature on my Cantina Customs?

Post by: Scott on July 28, 2004, 11:13 AM
This is from last year so its not up to date with what I got but it shows them flanking BoShek

I believe they have regular hand too which is why the Ponda thing works so slick

Post by: Mikey D on July 29, 2004, 06:07 PM
I love obscure aliens and droids, so my picks reflect that:

After #1, these are in no particular order:

1. Hem Dazon - why the first alien seen in the Cantina hasn't been made yet is beyond me
2. Bom Vimdin
3. Dannik Jerriko
4. Elis Helrot
5. Feltipern Trevagg
6. Tonnika Sisters
7. Myo
8. Wioslea
9. CZ-3
10. R1-G4

Some serious lacking going on with Hasbro and my #1 choice. >:(
