Title: Defender Wish Lists 2004: The Empire Strikes Back
Post by: Scott on October 20, 2004, 11:52 AM
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/5-03/esb.jpg)

Last year we ran an informal poll with your 10 most wanted characters from the current 5 Star Wars Films.  With the DVD release, an OT heavy year in 2004 and most of the plans done until Episode III, I thought it would be a good time to revisit those lists. Here's how it works: You send your Wish List for 10[/i] 3 3/4" Figures to me or post them here, be it new figures, resculpts or even re-releases and I'll tally the votes.  After four weeks of list taking I'll publish the results and we will move on to the next movie.  This time around it's the fan favorite The Empire Strikes Back!  SW:ESB, or Episode V.  If you need help coming up with names check out the Official Sites Databank:   Episode V (http://starwars.com/databank/appearance/ep5.html).  Have fun and thanks for sending in your lists (remember to limit it to ten)!

Also check out Red6's archive for the very obscurest of the obscure for more choices...

This was my list as of the last update I made in the original thread:

Quote
1.  Major Bren Derlin
2.  General Veers in Imperial uniform w/ snap-on armor
3.  Lobot resculpt
4.  Captain Needa
5.  Toryn Farr
6.  Zev Senesca - Rogue 2
7.  Dagobah Luke resculpt w/accesseries
8.  Non-buff Snowspeeder Luke resculpt
9.  Black Bespin Guard (Sgt. Edian)
10. Yoda w/backpack, & other accessories resculpt

I'm assuming/hoping the Medical Frigate Luke rumor is true because I would like to see that as well (besides, I only have 2 Lukes on my list!!!)   The Jeremy Bullock Imp. officer and E-3PO were also hard to leave off, as well as ICMG.   Sorry about that, OCB.   Hopefully the Dagobah Luke & Yoda will be made as well and I can add that back in as well as a super articulated Snowtrooper (if I don't chose to add Jeremy Bullock Imp. officer and E-3PO into the list).

So, I choose:

1.   Major Bren Derlin
2.   General Veers in Imperial uniform w/ snap-on armor
3.   Captain Needa
4.   Toryn Farr
5.   Zev Senesca - Rogue 2
6.   Non-buff Snowspeeder Luke resculpt
7.   Black Bespin Guard (Sgt. Edian)
8.   Ice Cream Maker Guy
9.   Luke Medical Frigate
10. Leia Medical Frigate (with kissing action!!!  ;D ;D)

Old list
Quote
1.  Major Bren Derlin, who knows everyone's name on Hoth
2.  Toryn Farr
3.  General Veers pre-Hoth invasion
4.  R-3PO with authentic "Thank the Maker" tatoo on his ass
5.  Ice Cream Maker Guy, just for you Scott
6.  Cloud Car pilot but only if Hasbro releases something for him to fly (hint, hint Hasbro)
7.  Treva Horme, although I've never this alien in the movie this list would be mighty boring without her.
8.  Utris M'Toc, the Star Trek wannabe.  See #7 for comments
9.  non "Saturady Night Live" Lobot

Hmmm, looking at my list, I've only determined nine.  I know who I want, but since I'm too lazy to look up his name, I'll give you the actor's name.  Are you ready?  Why we don't have a figure of him yet, I have no idea.  I present you my #10 choice, the most obscure character played by a well known actor in the OT:

10.  Scott Bakula's Imperial.  That's right, the star of Quantum Leap and Necessary Roughness.  Its gold baby, I'm telling you!  Nobody would pass him up.  Get to work Hasbro.

New List
1.  Major Bren Derlin, who knows everyone's name on Hoth
2.  Toryn Farr
3.  General Veers pre-Hoth invasion
4.  Han Solo with torture chair
5.  Ice Cream Maker Guy, just for you Scott
6.  Hobbie
7.  Treva Horme, although I've never this alien in the movie this list would be mighty boring without her.
8.  Utris M'Toc, the Star Trek wannabe.  See #7 for comments
9.  Zev
10. Lee Phenets, the human ugnaunt

  8.  Darth Vader Holograph
  9.  Ugnaught (new sculpt)
10.  DLX Han Bespin w/Torture Rack

Also, does anyone know the name of the R2 Droid in the rebel hanger?  Not the one that came with the TRU 4-pack.  I believe it had a clear dome similar to the Star Tours droid ???

Title: Re: Defender Wish Lists 2004: The Empire Strikes Back
Post by: JediMAC on October 20, 2004, 07:49 PM
Last year's list:

  • General Rieekan - First and foremost!
  • Bespin Cloud Car Pilot - Presumably with the Twin Pod Cloud Car!
  • Lando (Smuggler's outfit) - I know, it's an easy custom, but I'm lazy and not very talented so just give it to me...
  • R-3PO (red protocol droid) - See Lando comment.
  • Major Bren Derlin - Just gotta have Cliffy!

    And then the much needed resculpts:
  • Lobot - The Disco era ended long ago, my bald friend...
  • Bespin Leia - Just a more official (and better) version on standard card, rather than the PLC SG one
  • Hoth Rebel Soldier - Needs a more accurate Hoth battlefield update.
  • Dagobah Luke - Toned down from his Aahnold-esque proportions!  Throw in a SG jacket as well.
  • General Veers - Like everyone else has said: A standard Imperial version w/ snap on armor
Guess that'll do it.  Honorable mention to Toryn Farr, Admiral Ozzel, and of course ICMG!

Wow, not too bad!  Considering ESB has the least amount of "interesting" characters to choose from, this flick's running out of potential plastic choices real quick!  So here goes my update:

Guess that's it.  Not too exciting of a list, and I could honestly live without most/all of these figures if I had to, without feeling "incomplete".  Looks like most of the lists are looking pretty damned similar this time around, so once this handful of characters make it into plastic, that's gonna pretty much be it for ESB, aside from some much needed definitive, super articulated, highly detailed resculpts...   8)

Here's my current ESB want list:


HOTH
...
-Wedge Antilles - Snowspeeder Pilot gear
-Luke Skywalker - Snowspeeder Pilot gear, with removable helmet, lightsaber, blaster & holster, grappling hook & mine
-Zev Senesca - Rogue 2 Snowspeeder Pilot

You need to learn how to "cheat" a little Nick, and just ask for some Pilot headswaps, like the rest of us!  That'd give you room for a couple more "wants" on your list!   ;)

1. Major Bren Derlin
2. Dlx. Han w/ Torture Device
3. Black Bespin Wing Guard (hello, too easy, just a new 'head', Hasbro)
4. Toryn Farr
5. E-3PO
6. Troop builder Snowspeeder/X-Wing pilots (updated body a la Gold Leader-like detail, with Hobbie, Zev, Janson, Luke or Wedge heads and removable matching helmets)
7. ANY Echobase astromech
8. Wilrow Hood, the Ice Cream Maker Guy

Title: Re: Defender Wish Lists 2004: The Empire Strikes Back
Post by: SilverZ on October 20, 2004, 10:05 PM
1.   Hoth Rebel Pilot (head-swaps)
2.   Imperial Snowtrooper SA
3.   Hoth Princess Leia (resculpt)
4.   General Veers
5.   Imperial Probe Droid
6.   Bespin Guard (head-swaps)
7.   Bespin Luke SA (that’s up to par with Dagobah Luke)
8.   Carbonite Han Solo
9.   Medical Frigate Luke
10. Medical Frigate Leia

Of these, the only ones I'm really, really pulling for are a new Hoth Rebel Pilot, General Veers, and an improved Bespin Guard.

I'd like to see the Hoth Rebel Pilot be released as Wedge so he finally has a card, with a ball-socket head and removable helmet. Then I'm asking for an ultimate Bespin Luke, and for them to plan ahead enough to realize you can pop the ballsocket heads on Bespin Luke and Wedge for an instant custom.

Post by: Jesse James on October 22, 2004, 02:44 AM
1)  Super Articulated Hoth Pilot...  With generic/Dak and Wedge Antilles head/helmet variants.

2)  Super Articulated Hoth Han Solo Resculpt...  Cloth hood, removable hat/goggles.  No action features or craptacular stances for this one folks!

3) Super Articulated Hoth Footsoldier...  This is a must considering all previous attempts.  head variants, removable hat, working holster w/sidearm, and rifle.  Head variants would be nice (bearded, clean shaven, and a black dude).

4)  Super Articulated Imperial "Snow" Stormtrooper...  If the Rebs are sporting a SA trooper so should the Empire.  Cloth face-mask, cloth skirt, working holster with blaster rifle.  Just a nice vanilla Snowtrooper with tons of articulation.

5)  Hoth Technician...  Good articulation, removable techs cap (with the ear flaps), tools, etc.  Articulation like VOTC Leia or something could work.

6)  Ultra Gen. Veers...  Removable armor, removable helmet, removable goggles, removable officer's kepi hat, removable belt with working holster, side arm, and articulation like VOTC Leia at least.  Holo mini-Vader would rock as well.

7)  Ice Cream Maker Guy...  Good articulation (VOTC Leia or so), Ice Cream Maker accessory, maybe a blaster?  A nod to Scott on the card too.

8 )  Super Articulated Han Carbonite...  The Ultimate Han Carbo, with "hybernation sickness", and normal heads, a new carbo block that would completely encase the figure, "dissolving binders", and a light-up block would be neat.  Sort of ROTJ, sort of ESB, but I'll vote for it now.

9)  Imperial Commander...  Generic, super or VOTC Leia style articulated figure with removable officer's kepi hat (with head variants).  Black uniform variant and grey uniform variant.  One head has to be Jeremy Bulloch as the Officer in ESB.  :)

10)  Major Bren Derlin...  Rebel Officer sculpt with good articulation, and of course the John Ratzenberger likeness.  A variant with a more generic head would be cool as well.

HONORABLE MENTION:

-Rebel Scout with Taun-Taun
-Torryn Far:  Ion Cannon Controller
-Hobbie (Snowspeeder Pilot)
-Luke Skywalker (Snowspeeder Pilot)
-Rebel with Tri-Pod Cannon
-Snowtrooper with Tri-Pod resculpt (collapsable, more to-scale)
-"Snow" Scouttrooper (EU)
-Luke Hoth, retooling (new arms/legs on Saga sculpt) without "damage
-Leia Hoth resculpt
-New Bespin Guard (with closed jacket, and head variants)
-SA Luke Bespin Resculpt
-SA Luke Dagobah Resculpt (with cloth pilot's jacket)
-SA ESB Boba Fett

7) Captain Needa
8) Hoth Soldier - Brown Coat version this time
9) Zev
10) Dak (Because I don't wanna pay for the Crashed Speeder to get him)

I have to admit.  If none of these get made I won't be too disappointed.  Even ICMG.  Although that would be hilarious if he does indeed get made someday.

Right Next Door To Hell lyrics
I'll take a nicotine, caffine, sugar fix
Jesus don't ya git tired of turnin' tricks
But when your innocence dies
You'll find the blues
Seems all our heroes were born to lose
Just walkin' through time
You believe this heat
Another empty house another dead end street
Gonna rest my bones an sit for a spell
This side of heaven this close to Hell

Right next door to hell
Why don't you write a letter to me yeah
I said I'm right next door to hell
An so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell
I got nowhere else to be
Right next door to hell
Feels like the walls are closing in on me

My mamma never really said much to me
She was much too young and scared ta be
Hell "Freud" might say that's what I need
But all I really ever get is greed
An most my friends they feel the same
Hell we don't even have ourselves to blame
But times are hard and thrills are cheaper
As your arms get shorter
Your pockets get deeper

Right next door to hell
Why don't you write a letter to me yeah
I said I'm right next door to hell
An so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell
I never thought this is where I'd be
Right next door to hell
Thinkin' time'll stand still for me

Not bad kids just stupid ones
Yeah we thought we'd own the world
An gettin' used was havin' fun
I said we're not sad kids just lucid ones yeah
Flowin' through life not collectin' anyone
So much out there
Still so much to see
Time's too much to handle
Time's too much for me
It drives me up the walls
Drives me out of my mind
Can you tell me what this means...huh?

How cool would these be:

Hoth Wave September 2005

Major Bren Derlin
General Veers
Snowspeeder Luke (Zev running change, Wedge Running Change, Hobbie Running Change)
Torryn Farr
Captain Needa

Bespin Wave January 2006

Bespin Guard (white, black and alien)
Ice Cream Maker Guy
Lando Smuggler
Luke Medical Frigate
Leia Medical Frigate

Some of those figures would be pretty easy to do with existing molds (throw a robe on VOTC Luke, swap heads on VOTC Leia, Lando Head on Han Body, Jumpsuit from AT-ST and new head for ICMG)

Most of the figures though besides Veers and Derlin don't inspire a whole lot of Me Wantee factor that I see, I think a lot of people are satisfied with their Empire Strikes Back Modern Collection

That works perfect for me... how about a running change on Mjr Derlin with new headsculpts including Coach, Norm, & Sam?

Seriously, if they put out your list, I'm not sure I'd need another ESB figure other than a accurately sculpted & painted probot and  army builders, such as Jesse Jame's suggestions:

Super Articulated Hoth Footsoldier...  This is a must considering all previous attempts.  head variants, removable hat, working holster w/sidearm, and rifle.  Head variants would be nice (bearded, clean shaven, and a black dude).

Super Articulated Imperial "Snow" Stormtrooper...  If the Rebs are sporting a SA trooper so should the Empire.  Cloth face-mask, cloth skirt, working holster with blaster rifle.  Just a nice vanilla Snowtrooper with tons of articulation.

Hoth Technician...  Good articulation, removable techs cap (with the ear flaps), tools, etc.  Articulation like VOTC Leia or something could work.

Imperial Commander...  Generic, super or VOTC Leia style articulated figure with removable officer's kepi hat (with head variants).  Black uniform variant and grey uniform variant.  One head has to be Jeremy Bulloch as the Officer in ESB.
