Title: Next Great Sub-Set?
Post by: speedermike on May 25, 2007, 08:55 PM

I am really excited and loving all of the McQuarrie figures, and I love that fact that it's a really specific sub-set in the main collection.     Now that it seems that anything is possible, I'd love to see all 8 (10?) Holo chess characters made in the "real" forms.  All those wierd aliens would just be too cool for words...Can anyone think of any other great sub-sets for the future?

I think the characters from the chess set would be cool, but i don't picture them regular size. I think they are larger beast like characters. It would be cool, but i dont think it would happen.

Yeah, I see your point.  I always imagined them to be about human size.  Maybe about as big as Hermi Odle, especially the big one who lifts the little guy and body slams him.

I think a great sub-line that would fit in to the regular line should be pilots of the Saga.  To me, this is the group least represented, and could feature X, Y, A, and B-Wing pilots as well as Snowspeeder pilots.  Have a special card made up and everything!

I think it'd be really cool to do more concept designs, Johnston, Jamero, McHaig, Chaing, more McQ and others. But to be totally different: make them all non-exclusive AND able to be found at retail! now that would be amazing...

I'd take the Chaing concept of Qui-Gon anyday! At least Hasbro could get his hair right-it's in a ponytail ;)

Well, we had Ian McHAig's concepts of Obi and QGJ in POTJ. (pg 202 & 204 in the Art of E1 book)

Jesse, that crossed my mind.  It could be interesting, but I don't want to buy Vader ever again!

How about 12 more concept figures.  If these sell well, and by all accounts they will, I could see Hasbro just expanding the set.

1) PT Concepts e.g. Dermot Power's Shaak Ti and Alta Ranga, etc.
2) JJ's Actors under masks

PT concepts are a good idea, maybe in 2009. Actors behind the mask (excluding clones & Fetts of course) would be pretty cool.

Maybe a 'Parody' line featuring characters from other shows that have parodied SW. Or animated style, for characters that didn't appear in the show(s).

I'd love Figures based on the Mollo designs for Imp and Rebel Uniforms!!!!
