15 Figures for Each Trilogy (now...pick your 20)
« on: October 25, 2019, 07:49 PM »
I was curious to get some of your opinions on this. I was working on my display recently, and although the majority of my collection is 3 3/4” stuff, I have picked up quite a bit of Black Series at this point as well. I keep six floating shelves in our basement (3 for MCU based Legends, 3 for Black Series), and sort of rotate figures in and out as I want. They hold (without overcrowding) roughly 12-15 figures each. Although my display is OT-dominated, it got me to thinking,which 12-15 characters would best represent each trilogy? Which version of the main characters would be the go to? This wouldn’t necessarily have to only apply to Black Series, definitely could be Vintage Collection as well. My display just got me to thinking about it, so if this topic belongs elsewhere I understand. Just curious to hear others’ thoughts.

Great lists, and yes I don’t necessarily mean only figures that are made, but ones that could/should be as well.

I guess I left off Rose Tico... I know some people hate her, but her character at least had something to do in the story, so I'd probably put her in the Top 15.

“The Twenty”
« Reply #6 on: January 14, 2021, 05:12 PM »
I didn’t think this necessarily deserved a new topic, similar in nature. In the process of going through the collection and reorganizing things, I’ve started displaying a little less for a bit cleaner look. Although I have added shelves, there is less “stuff” per shelf if that makes sense. For the Black Series, I have two sets of floating shelves that hold roughly 20 figures each (not the same shelving from my original post). One set I have dedicated strictly to Mandalorian, and...at the moment...the other is dedicated to Empire (fave movie).

However I’ve thought in the spirit of refreshing things and rotating out I would maybe change this up. I first thought about choosing 20 OT characters, but now I’m wondering if I should just pick 20 figures from the entire saga. I was just looking for some of your thoughts on who you would choose. I was originally thinking on,y one version of each character (maybe most iconic), and sort of thought about leaving out figures that don’t have the updated face printing (those just look so much better), so for the time being that sort of eliminates the New Hope crew.

The first few picks are obvious...Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2, 3PO, Vader. Then you get to a character like Obi-Wan...A New Hope, Spirit, Clone Armor? Bounty hunters...just Fett? Do you stick with OT, or go all encompassing? I guess, what would your 20 be (of figures that are available)?

For me, it's a bit biased since I grew up with the OT, so I'd be doing mostly OT... and maybe some PT.  I would most likely stick with the Lucas trilogies (not because I don't like them) because they were his visions.  And since I have 20 figures to display, then I'd probably go with one version of each character.

Original Trilogy
1. Luke Skywalker (Farmboy)
2. Princess Leia Organa (Imperial Senator)
3. Han Solo (Smuggler)
4. Chewbacca
5. C-3PO
6. R2-D2
7. Darth Vader
8. Emperor Palpatine (Return of the Jedi)
9. Stormtrooper
10. Lando Calrissian (Bespin Baron) (The Empire Strikes Back)
11. Yoda (The Empire Strikes Back)
12. Boba Fett (The Empire Strikes Back)
13. Ben Kenobi
14. Anakin Skywalker (AOTC Padawan)
15. Queen Amidala (Invasion of Naboo gown) (The Phantom Menace)
16. Count Dooku (The Phantom Menace)
17. Darth Maul (The Phantom Menace)
18. Emperor's Royal Guard (Return of the Jedi)
19. Scout Trooper (Return of the Jedi)
20. Qui-Gon Jinn (The Phantom Menace)
