I was just looking back through the year's releases, and it really has been a nice year for Legacy figures. Some of them almost get forgotten momentarily since we had such a flurry of releases all at once there, but the figures overall were really top notch. Some of my favorites:
Figures: Obi-Wan Kenobi (AOTC), Hoth Rebel Soldier, Obi-Wan Kenobi (TPM), Gungan Warrior, Luke Skywalker (DS II), Paploo/NoApaak 2 pack, Major Panno, Giran, Nikto Gunner, Princess Leia (Jabba's Slave), Imperial Scanning Crew Member, Jawa and Security Droid, Agen Kolar, Commander Cody, Willrow Hood, Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder Pilot), Zuckuss, Cloud City Wing Guard, Luke Skywalker (Resurgence of the Jedi BP), R2-D2 (Resurgence of the Jedi BP), Sandtrooper (Dewback BP)
Vehicles/Exclusives: AT-ST (Wal-Mart), Dewback (Wal-Mart), Rancor (Target)
Overall, a great year for Legacy stuff. Like it was mentioned, it was the year of the Luke with three great ones all out this year. Really, the majority of the line could be listed as "top figures this year" as there really didn't seem to be a lot of stinkers in the line. The ROTJ and ESB waves in particular were very well rounded I thought, and it really makes me look forward to 2010. There were some nice Battle Packs this year as well with the Resurgence of the Jedi, Scramble on Yavin (was that 2009?), Endor Attack, and the Gunship Turret packs. The exclusives were pretty nice, depending on your tastes. I enjoyed getting all-new versions of OT favorites like the AT-ST, Dewback, and Rancor and I hope it leads to more of that in the future. Like I said, a fairly long list figure-wise, and it is hard to pick just one "top figure". For me, the top 5 would probably be:
Obi-Wan Kenobi (AOTC)
Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder Pilot)
Luke Skywalker (Resurgence of the Jedi BP)
Willrow Hood (Congrats to Scott)
Hoth Rebel Soldier
But even then, it is tough to cut off a number of other ones. Great stuff, hopefully more is on the way.
