The Vintage Collection / Andor Product Line Wishlist
« on: December 31, 2022, 06:44 PM »
I rewatched Andor over the past week and that show is so fantastic we've got to get more than just a few figures from it. I think right now we're getting three figures - two versions of Cassian and Vel (pathetic).
I bitched about the lack of passion from the current Star Wars product management team. If I were in charge this is what I would do.
I put them in three categories:
No brainers - even today's Hasbro team should get this much done without much effort
Kitbashes - obvious choices if they really wanted to do world building and get some kitbashing help
Derryl DePriest tier - this is what we would have got 15 years ago under Derryl's watch and what I think someone with some passion and skill could still muster this today
No brainers:
Bix
Luthen Rael - Coruscant
Cinta (Ferrix)
Brasso
Imperial army trooper - black riot control outfit with shield (make it a four pack if you want)
Dedra Meero - ISB white uniform
Syril - Pre-Mor Security Officer
Marva
Mon Mothma
Kitbashes
ISB multi pack (white uniforms) - Dedra Meero, Lonni Jung, Officer Blevin, Major Partagaz
Narkin 5 prison multipack - Cassian Andor, Kino Loy, Ruescott Melshi
Rix Road Imperial patrol vehicle (pack in a Stormtrooper and/or offer it with the line)
Narkina 5 Imperial Security (with electro boots) (probably can kitbash this pretty easily)
Saw Gerrera multipack - rerelease Saw (kitbash with healthy leg and no oxygen), re-release Two Tubes, kitbash Luthen in new cloak with walking stick
Prefect Tigo (Overzealous Ferrix Imperial officer
Derryl DePriest Tier
Mon Monthma Betrothal 3-pack - Mon Mothma, Perrin Fertha, daughter
Tay Kolma (Chandrila banker)
Kleya
Dr. Quadpaw
Luthen Rael (Ferrix) - add in a speeder bike if you want a small vehicle line
Deluxe figure - Time Grappler and chime ($30?)
Deluxe B2EMO with giant holographic Marva (put a sound chip in it too with some of Marva's speech) ($40?)
Rix Road Funeral Band multi-pack (kitbash and make a couple different multi-packs with yellow and orange coats)
Rix Road funeral procession multi-pack (Daughter's of Ferrix maroon coats) - Brasso, black lady, etc.
Pre-Mor Security Sergeant Linus Mosk (kit bash and make a four pack)
Dewi and Freedi Pamular (Quadjumper guys on Narkina 5)
Rix Road playset - smallish (about the size of the Tantive IV hallway set) - maybe the front of the hotel with its archways. This could be a set where you piece multiple parts together to have a urban background - $55
Luthen's Haulcraft - $100-$150 scaled down to X-Wing size
I left out most of the Aldhani story arc stuff as I don't know that anything was all that "iconic" from this bit.
What else would you guys add if you were in charge of this product line?
