My vote goes Padme Amidal in her funeral dress, with floating casket.  I think a future pick would be Darth Plagues the Wise!!!

This bitter old OT purist hopes ICMG or Hermi Odle win.  Vos is so "non-SW" to me it's not funny.  Of course, a lot of the PT is non-SW to me too :P

This is BoShek's droid according to EU...Adam Pawlus got to make this exclusive and included BoShek's droid

His whole schtick back in the day is that he basically got BoShek made because he kept saying it would never happen.  Sort of a "I dare you to make this figure I want to see made"

Me, having much less pull and no ear of the company can't pull the same trick, and so I resort to humor and petitions (which he helped start BTW as I pointed out in Page 1 of the Vote for Willrow thread)

I just find the attitude condescending, sort of a "I'm the only one who can get an obscure figure made" sort of a deal


Thanks, as always.  I feel the love.

The droid was half "tee hee, BoShek" and half "well, there's only so many R4 repaints out there."   Actually, that's about all that were on Astromech.net when I was doing research, him and the droid Lucasfilm would eventually name R4-A22.

Did I ask Hasbro to make BoShek?  No.  Quite the opposite.  But the droid?  Yes, I asked for that, and yes, the fact it was BoShek's droid made it funny to include in the set for me.

I voted for Exar Kun, narrowly edging out ICMG. Sorry Scott. But I'll have you know that if ICMG is made, I'm on board all the way.

I voted Clone Commander (Galactic Marine), and I think that whoever votes for Yarna is throwing away a vote, because that's just disgusting. :x

I agree whole-heartedly with you. 

Hasbro has made way too many action figures of six-breasted whores over the years, while the various clones have been virtually ignored.

Everybody else is wasting their votes on characters like Gargan and the ICMG, and ten years from now, when they're both rotting away on the pegs, and we still won't have a Galactic Marine, who wants to bet those same people will be the ones throwing a fit about it right here on these very boards?

"Where's my Galactic Marine figure, Hasbro?!" they'll say. 

And I'll reply "Don't come crying to me, buddy--you had your chance for a Galactic Marine back in 2006, but you decided to vote for that silly Roseanne Barr-gan figure instead."

I find that funny since the character design for Vos came from the character who was in the movie for 2 seconds.
All I want from you Hasbro is a SA Final Duel Luke. Is that soo much to ask for?
