Title: The (Hypothetical) End of SW Toys and Your Wishes
Post by: DoctorPadawan on September 18, 2005, 04:36 PM
One of the things eternal pessimists and cynics such as myself are always accused of is not looking at the silver lining as opposed to prolonged concentration on the grayness of the cloud itself.  So, due to my seemingly endless prognostication that the SW action figure line will die/be murdered by the end of 2006, and reading the "ideas for future waves/themes" thread and seeing everyone's varying wishes for future waves/themes, got me thinking. 

What if we somehow knew that 2007 would be the last year of SW toys, and it were a magical world where retail would support the line until the end and everyone would be able to get exactly what they wanted in sufficient amounts?  What would YOU want to see in that final year, or more accurately, if you knew the line would die completely by 2008, what items would you be seriously disappointed if you did not see? 

So, with that in mind, I put forth a challenge to everyone here on the boards to see what you (relatively speaking) could not do without before the line was brought to an end.  To make it easier, we (well, I) will put forth some ground rules:  You can pick four figures per film (plus 4 from the Expanded Universe), one vehicle/beast per film, one deluxe figure per film, and one Unleashed figure OR 1 Galactic Heroes 2 pack per film (whichever you'd prefer).  What you pick is up to you, but try to keep it within those limits (as limitations often make you (well, me) realize what you would really want to see as opposed to what you think you would want to see).

I look forward to seeing what everyone's last requests would be, and I'll get the ball rolling:

What about an EU "Kamino training" wave? it could have figures like:

01. Adult Clone - In red non-armour uniform, super-articulated, accesspries like accrelerated learning helmet or ikea cutlery :P

02. Kaminoan cloning supervisor - Super-articulated with datapad

03. Jango Fett: ARC trooper training sargeant - in mandalorian armour, Super-articulated, removable helmet, and can include a lot of accessories such as clone weapons for demonstrating uses.

04. Cuyvul 'dar (As mentioned in Republic Commando: Hard Contact. Disbanded mandalorians who went their separate ways. some of them were contacted by Jango Fett to see if they wanted to train armies for the republic) Training Sargeant - Super-articulated, full mando armour, mandalorian-issue blaster, removable helmet. Could come in a myriad of paint variations for different mandos.

To make it easier, we (well, I) will put forth some ground rules:  You can pick four figures per film (plus 4 from the Expanded Universe), one vehicle/beast per film, one deluxe figure per film, and one Unleashed figure OR 1 Galactic Heroes 2 pack per film (whichever you'd prefer).  What you pick is up to you, but try to keep it within those limits (as limitations often make you (well, me) realize what you would really want to see as opposed to what you think you would want to see).

Since I'd can the GH and Unleashed lines in the final year if I knew it was the final year, am I allowed to cheat and pick one more figure? :)  If so I'll update my post accordingly.

Episode 1, The Phantom Menace:

-SA Obi-Wan Kenobi...  Softgoods robe of course, lit and unlit sabers, and communicator on the belt.  
-SA Qui-Gon Jinn...  Same as above, simple perfection.  As super articulated as ROTS Obi Pilot.
-SA Mace Windu...  Same as above, maybe a "testing" datapad accessory or a mini-holo of QGJ or OWK.
-SA Battledroid (good plastic)...  Just a sturdy, nicely articulated battledroid.  I pick this on the assumption they'll release the figure en masse for army building glee.

-Deluxe Gragra w/Chuba Stand...  Even though I think I could do this from the Pez figure, I really still would like a full size stand and everything from Hasbro.

-Gian Speeder w/SA Naboo Soldier (You knew I'd sneak in something kick ass like that)...  Title says it all.  :)  It's my dream so I get a good pack-in figure, so there.  This is the only vehicle worth really taking a look at "realistically" from TPM though, although I'd gladly take a to-scale Sith Infiltrator if they'd make it.  Trying for SOME level of realism though I'm going with the Gian Speeder.

-No GH or Unleashed.

Episode 2, Attack of the Clones:

-SA Jango Fett...  Easily a needed figure.  Removable helmet, working holsters, both jetpack variants.  Hell, include a sniper rifle from the Bounty Hunter game even.
-SA Zam Wessell...  She really needs redone, as does Jango, with the SA treatment. Interchangeable heads w/removable helmets, maybe a cloth face scarf...  I'd dig her then.
-Geonosian Resculpt...  As articulated as possible, detachable wings for both "versions" of the species, sturdy plastic.
-Outlander Peasant Anakin...  Super Articulated, softgoods poncho.  I just liked this outfit and since it got a little extra play in deleted scenes I would like to see it get a good figure.  Plus I'm strapped for AOTC ideas, honestly...  Short of some SA Clones in training pj's I'm really disinterested in background characters from this or TPM.

-Deluxe SA Training Clone...  Eh, so I snuck this guy in anyway.  Include some training gear like "padded" suiting for combat training, maybe a table w/food for the dining scene in their cafeteria?  I dunno, it's just a way for me to get this figure in I guess.

-Geonosian Mount w/cart...  The thing Anakin and Padme steal, basically.  It's the same animal the Geonosians rode, I think?  Whatever.  That's what I'd take, though if I was thinking unrealistically I'd want a Homing Spider Droid (to-scale), hehe. :)

-No Unleashed, No GH.

Episode 3, Revenge Of The Sith:

-SA Destroyer Droid...  Somehow make it able to fold up.
-SA Utapau Clone...  Removable helmet, ball/socket hips, and super articulated everywhere else.  Oh and 2 rifles so they make up for all these Rifle-less Clones we have.
-SA Mygeeto SnowClone...  Bacara needs grunts.  Articulation like above with a softgoods skirt and removable helmet.  Sweeeet.
-SA Super Battledroid...  Blast-apart feature like the AOTC figure, extra arm articulation, ankles, and good sturdy plastic of course.

-Deluxe Ultimate General Grievous...  Sofgtgoods cape, proper scale, ultimate articulation (beyond even their best to-date), split-apart arms, removable hands where appropriate...  The Ultimate Grievous.  Oh, and little "pockets" in the cape for hanging hilts.  Oh, and since it's my wish I'd make them have a "blast apart" feature on it like the SBD has with a Clone Wars "crumpled" chest you can snap on.  They can do that and make it work on the SBD so Grievous can have it too.  That's $10 worth of figure to me.

-Republic Gunship Resculpt...  The Gunship gets resculpted to-scale, 2 properly scaled gunner turrets included, and every feature the first Gunship had as well.  I like the Gunship that's out for all the effort it has, but its scale bothers me and I want bigger/better.

-No GH, no Unleashed.

Episode 4, A New Hope:

-SA Rebel Fleet Trooper...  Like you didn't see this coming?  Removable helmet, flexible removable vest, working holster, ball/socket hips plus super articulation everywhere else, head variants, scanner pistol...  My dream figure.  :'(
-Tie between Garrouf Lafoe & Deleted Scene Jabba...  I really want the Cantina snitch, and I really want big fat Irish human Jabba.  I'm cheating with a "tie" here but in the end I'd likely take the snitch over Jabba since he was in the film prominently enough.
-Hem Dazon...  Hem's the Cantina alien I find most memorable, and I'm amazed he has yet to get a figure.  He's the first you see for god's sake!
-Cantina Han Solo (just kidding).
-Rebel Honor Guard...  Super Articulated honor guard with pike, removable RFT helmet (with visor down).  I liked these guys and somehow think they'll never get a figure and they should.  Thoughhhhh...  I could really also dig a Rebel Officer (the mid-level officers in ballcap style hats).   :-\  Potentially another tie here.

-Deluxe SA Rebel Tech w/Sled...  Rebel Tech with a troop sled, super articulated figure, removable helmet, light sticks.  Oh joy!

-To-scale X-Wing...  Without a doubt it's my favorite ship of the saga, and while I'd like a Y-Wing, the X-Wing's terribly underscaled too, and now is a must-have against the new TIE Fighter.  Opening cockpit, droid socket, and opening cargo hold too.

-No Unleashed, no GH.

Episode 5, The Empire Strikes Back:

-SA Han Solo Hoth Gear...  My ideal would have a softgoods hood you could pull down and a removable helmet.  I just know Han needs redone irregardless of what color his coat may be this time.  That Saga figure was weak.
-SA Hoth Rebel Soldier...  The footsoldier needs a good figure finally, after 3 failures previously.  Super articulated, removable helmet, head variants, working holster w/sidearm, rifle (sturdy plastic), and a softgoods scarf attached to the helmet.  Sweeeeeeet.
-SA Imperial Storm"Snow"Trooper...  Another must-have after 2-3 lackluster figures.  A working holster, softgoods mask and skirt, and articulation out the ying yang would be awful nice.
-SA Snowspeeder Pilot (Dak)...  A super articulated "generic" pilot.  I'd take Dak, Hobbie, or Jansen...  Really probably one of the latter two due to the unique helmet paintjobs.  It'd just be nice to have a good snowspeeder pilot at the end for army builders and customizers.

-Deluxe Ultimate Imperial Officer...  This is a figure I've "engineered" to fill multiple roles.  First, it's a SA Imperial Officer sculpt obviously.  Second, there's at least 3 unique heads per set (1 Chief Bast, 1 Jeremy Bulloch, and 1 Gen. Veers).  Third there's removable armor, belt w/working holster, helmet, and kepi hat.  Fourth there's snap-on rank badges (4 bar, generals bars, and 1-row 4-bar.  And fifth, the figure's released in black and grey variants.  Yes, that's the ultimate Imperial Officer, and it knocks off a Veers figure, a Bulloch Officer, and Chief Bast...  Veers is the head on the figure in the packaging though so it's an ESB figure.  :)  Yeah I cheated witht his, but man I'm proud of myself.  And it's still one $10 figure technically.

-To-Scale Snowspeeder...  Finally resculpt that thing so it's the proper "tiny" scaled ship.  I will say I'd give a very honorable mention to the AT-ST however the Hoth "variant" of the walker isn't my favorite and I think the ENdor one's better looking.    But anyway, a to-scale Snowspeeder is LONG overdue and I'm tired of that hulking (though nicely sculpted) one from the vinty days.

-No GH, no Unleashed.

Episode 6, Return Of The Jedi:

-SA Luke Skywalker (Endor/Death Star)...  This will be the definitive Luke figure for ROTJ really.  SA, softgoods poncho, removable helmet (Saga one even), removable poncho belt, removable Jedi vest (for his DS duel outfit underneath).  Just a good perfect Luke for this film.
-SA Leia Endor...  Pretty much the same as above.  Good double for a Home One Leia too, but removable helmet, softgoods poncho and belt (with working holster).  Just a great Leia figure.
-SA Han Solo Endor...  Again, same as above but with a removable softgoods trench coat.  A softgoods sachel with detonators in it would be kinda neat too, but not a must.
-SA Rebel Commando (Endor)...  I want the 3rd version of the Rebel Commando with the camo jacket on but opened exposing his standard uniform underneath.  Give him the softgoods sachel with detonators actually.  Removable helmet with head variants a must!

-Deluxe Biker Scout w/Bike...  The ultimate biker scout sculpt, with ultimate articulation (TE Gunner hip joints are a must so he can ride his bike properly).  Also a newly scupted to-scale Speeder bike w/clear stand for it so it appears to hover.  Working holster on the scout for his sidearm, and we're set...  A sniper rifle from Battlefront?  One could dream.

-Resculpt AT-ST To-Scale...  Like the Snowspeeder it'd be sweet to see the AT-ST get a to-scale sculpt.  It's really not that large.  Include 2 AT-ST Pilot pack-ins (even if they re-use the Imp. Officer sculpt with the POTJ TIE Pilot's articulated legs), and I'd be a happy camper.  New AT-ST Pilots would be nice though.  Full interior, opening hatches (and viewport windows), and that's a great vehicle that I'd buy at least 6 of.

-No Unleashed, No GH.

Expanded Universe:

-SA Kyle Katarn...  Jedi Knight Style sculpt, light saber, Imp. Repeater Rifle, Bryar Pistol & Railgun from first figure, and a removable bandoleir of Thermal Detonators.  Kyle's one of the best EU characters ever, without a doubt.
-SA NJO Luke Skywalker...  Old Luke, softgoods robes...  He's a must have even though I'm critical of the NJO series as it's heavily flawed IMO.
-SA Jan Ors...  What's Kyle without Jan?  SA her, give her some gear (goggles, etc.), and I'd be happy.
-SA Rebel Infiltrator...  Basically, imagine the Rebel Alliance's best troopers...  Snake Eyes if he were an Alliance Commando instead of a GI Joe.  :)  Give him throwing knives you can hide in a working sheath, a modified E-11 blaster, a grappling hook, and the modified Rebel Commando helmet and that's a kick ass figure.

-Deluxe Zero-G Stormtrooper...  The Imperial Stormtrooper's best troops, the Zero G Troopers (West End Games design, not that POS EU figure from 98) are BIG self-contained space suits.  Make it like the GI Joe Snake suit though that you could actually figure a figure inside, and include an Imperial Zero-G Trooper in his black body glove (IE: The body glove Stormies wear under their armor).  Super Articulated, all the little guns and tools...  This would be a fantastic figure and would look amazing in the packaging.

-TIE Defender...  Done to-scale, it's the single EU Ship I would absolutely have to have, even though the Moldy Crow (Katarn's ship) is a very close 2nd.  The TIE Defender's just the perfect EU craft to me.

-No GH, No Unleashed.

And I'm going to cheat and take another EU round, and here's why.  The new Clone Wars series is due out in 2007 so I figure new Clone Wars toys may happen, or at least would have more a chance, so I'm separating them from the generic EU topic and adding a "Clone Wars" line too Doctor Padawan, sorry. :)

Clone Wars (All Realistic Sculpts over Cartoon Sculpts):

-SA ARC Trooper (with Episode 2 and 3 styled Clone helmets)...  Basically it's just as it says, and the extra styled helmets are just for those who like ARCs in all eras.  Softgoods Kama/skirt, and working holsters.  Include some of the weapons they had like the shoulder fired launcher or the mini-gun and that'd rock to me.
-SA Obi-Wan General Armor...  Obi in his Clone Armor, simple.
-SA Assajj Ventress...  Softgoods skirt and cloak.
-SA Anakin (Yavin IV Battle)...  Softgoods tunic/robes for a battleworn look when removed for his battle with Assajj on Yavin IV.

-Deluxe IG Lancer Droid...  Durge's IG Lander Droid, super articulated, with speederbike and lance.  Sweet.

-To-Scale Fanblade Fighter...  Assajj's fighter.

-No GH, No Unleashed.

Well, that felt like a really long post.

Sucks to even think about the death of the line really, especially with things finally turning for the better in the last 2 years or so...  Many more hits than misses, whereas the line was littered with misses for the majority of its 10 years while the hits were fewer and farrer between (even though they did keep things fun).

ROTS's line and OTC all renewed my hope for the line and the potential to get really neat, and obscure items, army builder focused things, etc.

Why do I have to always follow Jesse in these type threads...I knew I should have just posted  when I saw this earlier...



To save time, I'll just ditto Jesse's list, except I'd like a really good sculpt TUSKEN RAIDER added to the list.  I'm really having my jones on for some really good sandpeople with the Super Articulation and either good soft goods or good sculpt.

But other than that, JJ seems to have covered the Army Builders that I think need a re-visit and know of at least 3 that should be packaged with an Apology (Hoth Rebel might need 2 apologies all by himself or some sort of trade in credit)

What do I really, really want?  A Wedge that does not suck.  Dorme.  SA Scout Troopers, Snow Troopers, Utapau Clones, Mygeeto Clones, all kinds of clones.  All kinds of Padmes.  SA versions of Obi Wan, Qui Gon, Mace, Yoda, Han/Luke Stormtroopers VOTC style, R5-D4, SA Hoth Han, Snow Bunny Padme, and lots of other stuff I'm sure I'm forgetting.

Post by: Paul on September 20, 2005, 07:46 PM
Ok, I view my earlier post as a cop-out...so I am going to do my definative list...

If you know me at all you know that the Prequels are not my favorite so if the lists are light there forgive me.

I don't collect the Galactic Heroes or other lines so I'll limit it to just the 3 3/4 in line.

TPM:

SA Tusken Raider with either Good Soft Goods or a Decent Sculpted Robe, but not the "Combo"
SA Jawa
Astromech Droids

Vehicle: Was there a Bantha in TPM?

AOTC:

SA Tusken Raider with either Good Soft Goods or a Decent Sculpted Robe, but not the "Combo"
SA Jawa
Astromech Droids R5-D4 perhaps....

Vehicle:  Maybe that Solar Sail Boat that the old guy flies.

ROTS:

SA Courescant Firefighter
SA Clone Medic/Commando from that planet that Obi-Wan rides the gecko and kills the 4 armed guy with whooping cough, I think he is wearing Yellow.
SA Mace Windu, poor guy needs a good figure

Ultra/Deluxe:  SA Clone with Ball Jointed hips to ride Stass Allie's Bike

Vehicle:  I like that AT-AT looking thing witht he stumpy legs.

ANH:

SA Rebel Fleet Trooper (basically all the things previously listed)
SA Death Star Trooper (with the Rebel Blaster)
SA Imperial Officer in Black/Green and Gray and multiple headsculpts
SA Luke Farmer with a sculpted tunic, stormtrooper belt, floppy hat, soft goods poncho

Ultra/Deluxe:  Death Star Gunner (SA) with Gunner Station

Vehicle/Playset:  I like JJ"s idea of the Rebel Tech with sled, but I'd just make it a package deal as a Vechilce/Playset.

ESB:

SA Hoth Han
SA Hoth Stormtrooper
SA Hoth REBEL
SA Snowspeeder Pilot (I like the different headsculpts theory as well as the Toque and various Helmet choices

Ultra/Deluxe:  Han Solo in Bespin with Torture Rack. (but he would need to be SA with a removable gun belt

Vehicle/Playset:  I'll have to amend this one, I can't think of one right now

ROTJ:

SA Luke Jedi
SA Endor Rebel based on the uni from the Vintage one with different Headscuplts
SA EWOKS
SA Han Endor

Ultra/Deluxe:  SA Biker Scout with updated Bike

Vehicle/Playset:  Tattooine Skiff or At-St

Expanded Universe:

All from either the Rogue Squadron Novels or Comics or Video Games

SA Baron Fel
SA Tycho Celchu
SA Corran Horn
SA Wes Jansen

Ultra/Deluxe:  I don't know enough EU to name one of these.

Vehicle:  Corran's XWing with CorSec paint job.

For the record, I consider Super Articulation to be Ball Jointed Shoulders, Elbows, Hips, and Knees.  I also think the Wrists and Ankles should at least swivel.  The heads on a ball need to be made to a point where all the balls are the same size for ease of head swapping.

I also think Army builder type figures should have a carbine, rifle and pistol if they were carried in the movie, just to give more of an option.

If someone came up and put a gun to my head and said pick 10 figures that will make the collecting public and yourself happy...and make it quick before I nuke the Hasbro Factory...I'm pretty sure I'd say:

1. Hem Dazon (ANH) (first and most memorable Cantina Alien remaining)
2. Hermi Odle (ROTJ) (big ugly Alien from Jabba's Palace)
3. CZ-3 (ANH) (rumored for a while, I think CZ might come later this year)
4. Chief Chirpa/Lumat (ROTJ) (finishes a major Vintage Update)
5. Tonnika Sisters (ANH) (see CZ)
6. Yarna D'al Gargan (ROTJ) (long wished for and they made the Vintage Proto)
7. Klaatu Palace (ROTJ) (Vintage Redo, cool outfit)
8. Ice Cream Maker Guy (ESB) (personal bias)
9. R5-D4 (ANH) (2nd Most wanted resculpt...how ******* hard is it to sculpt a damn head)
10. Major Bren Derlin (ESB) (sort of a Vintage Redo and also...Cliff Claven needs a SW Figure)

I'm pretty happy with the Prequels, sure there are lots of Padmes left, but they made most of the iconic ones, sure there are lots of EpIII Clones left but they made most of them.

I'd prefer new characters to resculpts (but I'd love the Endor figures and Han and Luke Stormtrooper figures)

Oh man, a Death Star Trooper...  How'd I forget that?
