Post by: P-Siddy on May 1, 2023, 02:20 PM
What are your 10 most wanted Creatures/Beasts you'd like to see in The Vintage Collection?

The rules are simple: post your wishlist for the 10 3-3/4" figures or send them to me.  At the end of the month, I’ll tally up the votes and we’ll move on to the next theme.

Have fun!

JUST A REMINDER THAT WE'RE COUNTING ONLY THE TOP TEN THIS ROUND!

TBOBF Hutt Twin 1 (with 1/2 of the stretcher/litter)
TBOBF Hutt Twin 2 (with 1/2 of the stretcher/litter)
TBOBF Bantha
TBOBF Tatooine Sand Beast
TBOBF Baby Rancor

TM Blurrg
TM Mudhorn

Holiday Special Panna Dragon
Solo Lady Proxima

Man, I forgot that TBOBF was such a rich mine for creature/beast toys.  It would be great to get a new Bantha for the Dune Sea tribe shelf or baby Rancor for Boba to ride.

Ended up tweaking my list to be sure to include the Hutt Twins. I hope they show up again in future seasons.

I did the same.  I couldn't believe I made that oversight.  They were a great addition to TBOBF.  Will they ever turn back up?  I guess we have to wait and see.

All of these are great choices and it makes me sad that it could be years before we see any of them get made.

The Blurrg felt like such a no-brainer when Season 1 of Mando hit.  They could have released it packed with Kuiil and then again with Mando.  I guess we live in a different time now though. :(

This list really makes me wish there was a Stan Solo equivalent out there making modern 3.75” scale beasts. I want all of these, but we will be lucky to get any of them with Hasbro’s recent aversion to releasing new creatures in the line. (Or even rereleasing existing creatures if we are honest.)

Amy of these would be welcome additions to The Vintage Collection.  If Hasbro could offer 1 or 2 of these creatures per year, that would be a tremendous step forward.

But it seems like one of the key issues for Hasbro lies with the way retail shelf space is allocated.  There is just SO MUCH CRAP on the shelves beneath the figure pegs at Target and Walmart stores.  And it seems to me that the Black Series electronic helmets were designed to occupy that lower shelf given the absence of large vehicles, creatures or playsets from those shelves.
