OK. Now that most of us have secured our Series 2 figures, it's
wish list time (or educated guess list in my case)! Assuming six per wave, what do you guys think is still on tap for the Kubrick line? You have to include at least one Chase figure in each series too! I'm guessing there'll be two series for each movie (we've already had one for ANH and ESB, and the Early Bird set is just kind of floating out there in lala land). This is what I predict is still on tap:
ANH:
Darth Vader
C-3PO
X-Wing Luke (Wedge and/or Biggs Chase figures)
Stormtrooper (Luke/Han Chase?)
Jawa
R5-D4
* 1st alternate: Grand Moff Tarkin
* 2nd alternate: Tie Fighter Pilot
* 3rd alternate: Power Droid / RFT
ESB:
Yoda
Lando Calrissian ("Smuggler" Lando chase?
)
Snowtrooper
Hoth Han (Blue/Brown coat Chase)
Bespin Luke (Dagobah Luke Chase?)
Bespin Leia
* 1st alternate: Carbonite Han
* 2nd alternate: Ugnaught
* 3rd alternate: Lobot
ROTJ (Jabba's Palace):
Jedi Luke (Chase - with/without robe? Bone? Glove?
)
Boussh (Slave Leia Chase?)
Gamorrean Guard
Lando Skiff Guard
Bib Fortuna
Slave Leia
* 1st alternate: Jabba the Hutt?!?
* 2nd alternate: Yakface
* 3rd alternate: Oola
ROTJ:
Emperor
Biker Scout
Wickett (Logray/Teebo Chase figures)
Admiral Ackbar
Imperial Royal Guard
General Lando
* 1st alternate: Endor Han
* 2nd alternate: Endor Luke
* 3rd alternate: Endor Leia
TPM 1:
Qui-Gonn Jinn (no cloak)
Obi-Wan (no cloak)
Darth Maul (no cloak)
Anakin (Pilot Chase)
Jar Jar Binks
Battle Droid (OOM-9 Chase)
TPM 2:
Padme (Blue/Purple outfit Chase)
Watto
Boss Nass
Nute Gunray
C-3PO
Shmi
* 1st alternate: Sebulba (too difficult for this line, I'd think)
* 2nd alternate: Destroyer Droid (also difficult for this line)
* 3rd alternate: Captain Panaka
AOTC 1:
Anakin
Obi-Wan
Jango Fett
Mace Windu
Count Dooku
Clone Trooper (Red/Yellow/Blue Chase)
* 1st alternate: Emperor Palpatine
* 2nd alternate: Ki-Adi Mundi
* 3rd alternate: Plo-Koon
AOTC 2:
Dexter Jettster
Geonosian Warrior
Padme (Arena new/ripped shirt Chase)
Lama Su (Taun We Chase)
Zam Wessell
Super Battle Droid
* 1st alternate: Kit Fisto
* 2nd alternate: Aayla Secura
* 3rd alternate: Coleman Trebor
So that's 2 series per movie, with a bunch of alternates. If by chance the line continues on beyond that into some of the more obscure characters, I'd guess they'd do the following themed waves:
Cantina:
Ponda Baba
Hammerhead
Snaggletooth (Red, but with the Blue Vintage Chase)
Arcona (Hem Dazon)
Dr. Evazan
Muftak
* 1st alternate: Wuher
* 2nd alternate: Djas Puhr
* 3rd alternate: Labria
Jabba's Palace:
Yak Face
Ree-Yees
Tessek (Squid Head)
Amanaman
Oola (Yarna D'al Gargan Chase, since none of these 6 really work)
Ephant Mon
* 1st alternate: Ishi Tibb
* 2nd alternate: EV-9D9
* 3rd alternate: Yarna D'al Gargan
Jedi:
Ki-Adi Mundi
Plo-Koon (Saesee Tiin Chase, since none of these 6 really work)
Yarael Poof
Kit Fisto
Aayla Secura
Coleman Trebor
* 1st alternate: Saesee Tiin
* 2nd alternate: Barriss Offee
* 3rd alternate: Oppo Rancisis (difficult for this line)
Perhaps an
all Padme Amidala series too?
Then obviously a couple of Episode 3 waves...
I somewhat dread when the Kubrick line will potentially move into the Prequel movies, since I usually don't collect non-OT stuff outside of the 4" line. I wonder what I'll do if/when that happens...
Anyone know how long these Kubrick lines can run? Are there any series that just continually pump out new waves of figures several times a year for quite a while, or will we just be seeing another handful of waves, and that'll be it? What are some of the longer running series so far? How obscure can the characters get do you think? Ah, the possibilities are endless...
Much fun with Star Wars Kubricks! Definitely one of my absolute favorite lines to collect...
