Because I love checking back on Hasbro to see how much they really listen to us. Here are the results of the past three Fan Choice Polls and the current figure tallies from each (unless I forgot about a figure :-\).
- 2006 Toy Fare Fan Choice Poll (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=11589.msg250203#msg250203) = 23 out of 25 made into figures; 92%
- 2009 Toy Fare Fan Choice Poll (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=19639.msg459981#msg459981) = 11 out of 30 made into figures; 37%
- 2011 Hasbro Fan Choice Poll (http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=21821.msg523361#msg523361) = 5 out of 20 made into figures; 25%

The results of that 2009 poll were more than dubious. The amount of rigging and vote stuffing that happened at each site's forums was sickening. We never did get the rankings of the 2011 poll which is weird....someone should bug Hasbro about that
If you take the figures that were on the 09 and 11 lists:
Captain/Admiral Pellaeon (2009, 2011)
Cliegg Lars (2009, 2011)
Guri (2009, 2011)
Jaxxon (2009, 2011)
Joruus C’Baoth (2009, 2011)
Sergeant Doallyn (2009, 2011)
Sim Aloo (2009, 2011)
Toryn Farr (2009, 2011)
Tzivvzt (2009, 2011)
I'd probably buy all of them...a lot of those have been long wished for on the JD Wishlists too.
I also think the chance of a Padme Funeral figure is around 0%...which leaves just Anakin Solo as a possibility there
-

You are probably right, Scott, but she would be ideal for Hasbro's new stance on limited articulation. :P
-
I'd buy all those too... It's funny how they've seemingly abandoned polls. But yes the ballot stuffing was out of hand. I think hasbro knew it too. Fans seem to have a knack for ruining their own hobby.

MISSION SERIES: BURY PADME
includes Funeral Padme and Pallbearer Jar-Jar Binks.
-
You missed one in your "not yet" list: Mara Jade Skywalker. :P
And technically Corran Horn too since it was a vote for his Jedi appearance not pilot.
From the original five polls all that is left is the Twi'lek Masseuse (#3) and Nym (#4).
-
Nym is a weird one...he popped up really out of nowhere and NOBODY has ever asked for him again
-
I have. But unless they make Starfighter 3 or bring back comic packs all the rest have a better chance of being made than him... Except maybe Funeral Padme.
-
Nym was totally a product of the time. And it was specifically because of the Starfighter game. If that game had the legs of a KOTOR or one of the other more popular Star Wars games, I could see Nym enduring as a perrenial candidate. But I'm perfectly fine without a Captain Nym action figure.

When did we get an Exar Kun figure?
-
When did we get an Exar Kun figure?
I've heard rumors of a mystical "last wave" of comic packs.
-
When did we get an Exar Kun figure?
It was part of that exclusive wave of comic 2-packs that wound up at Entertainment Earth. Exar Kun was packed with Ulic Qel Droma.
-
Just looked the comic packs up... I literally don't remember ANY of those. My stores stopped stocking them after that terrible Marvel Purple Dengar wave

No, it was the last non exclusive wave. Although for most people it was an absurdly overpriced eBay exclusive.

Since the 2015 Black Series line is set, I thought I'd take one last "Pre-TFA" look at the unmade fan poll figures...

Depending on how you feel about Doallyn vs the Brock Starsher we got, I guess you could give Hasbro a 0.5 credit on that one...
Still lots of figures left to go...
-
Of those 27 figures listed, 7 are EU (not sure which are canon or not), and possibly 8 if you include vinty-deco DSC. That could mean they may never show up. That stinks for those that would like them.
-
I still feel like a lot of of those non-EU figures have a decent shot of getting made eventually, other than tzivvzt and cane adiss, who are probably just too damn weird/costly to produce. Shame because those are the two I'd be most interested in now that we're getting Mosep.
-
I think the movie characters stand the best chance of being made. Albeit without dead Padme. Clearly it's going to take some time for Hasbro to get through the list with all of the new movies coming from Disney. As for the EU figures? Given their new "legends" status and the possibility for characters like Anakin Solo or Darth Caedus to cause some confusion between them and characters from the new films, I think it's very unlikely that Hasbro is going to go in that direction at all.
As for Doallyn? I consider him done given last years Skiff Guard figure. And I think Hasbro is actually pretty well primed to get to characters like Sim Aloo and the vintage deco Death Squad Commander.
And if we're REALLY looking all the way back through all of the Fan's Choice Polls? There are still a couple of holdout from the original polls that Hasbro conducted that didn't make the cut for the Toyfare polls:
-Captain Nym (Starfighter video game)
-Ann & Tan Gella (TPM Twi'lek masseuses)
