Defender Wishlists 2023: Expanded Universe

[P-Siddy]

What are your 20 most wanted figures you'd like to see in The Vintage Collection from The Expanded Universe (Print, Comics, Gaming)?  You can put Canon or Not.

The rules are simple: post your wishlist for the 20 3-3/4" figures or send them to me.  At the end of the month, I’ll tally up the votes and we’ll move on to the next theme.

Have fun!

This has the potential to be pretty difficult in light of the state of the Expanded Universe.  The Legends status of so many characters is a complicating factor in all of this.  But here goes:

1 - Darth Revan (KOTOR)
2 - Darth Malak (KOTOR)
3 - The Jedi Exile (KOTOR 2)
4 - Dass Jennir (Dark Horse comics DARK TIMES)
5 - Tyvokka (Dark Horse comics Stark Hyperspace Wars)
6 - Van Zallow (The Old Republic)
7 - Satele Shan (The Old Republic)
8 - Zayne Carrick (Dark Horse comics KOTOR)
9 - Mara Jade
10 - Montross (Bounty Hunter video game)
11 - Jaster Mereel  (Dark Horse comics Jango Fett - Open Seasons)
12 - Norra Wexley (Aftermath trilogy)
13 - Mister Bones (Aftermath trilogy)
14 - Temmin Wexley (Aftermath trilogy)
15 - Jas Emari (Aftermath trilogy)
16 - Admiral Rae Sloane (Aftermath trilogy)
17 - Atris (KOTOR 2)
18 - Darth Sion (KOTOR 2)
19 - Carth Onassi (KOTOR)
20 - T3-M4 (KOTOR)

I feel like we're in a weird place where the only things I really liked in Expanded Universe are being brought into canon, but here are a few...

1. Mara Jade - Emperor's Hand
2. Komari Vosa (from the Jango Fett Bounty Hunter game)
3. Montross  (from the Jango Fett Bounty Hunter game)
4. Luke Skywalker - Splinter of the Mind's Eye
5. Princess Leia - Splinter of the Mind's Eye

I feel like we're in a weird place where the only things I really liked in Expanded Universe are being brought into canon, but here are a few...

I'm in the same boat with the Legends EU. There were so many good stories that I really enjoyed and would want figures from, particularly from the X-Wing novels, KOTOR, and the NJO,  While I definitely want these for my collection, I can't imagine they would sell very well to the mass market these days. And most of the other more common figures I'd want are slowly being pulled into Canon EU.

[Mister Skeezler]

I've always been a bit undecided with KOTOR. I absolutely loved the games and the character designs, but in order to truly do it, they'd need to produce far more figures than Hasbro ever will, otherwise we have a Sequel Trilogy scenario where there's a handful of characters that don't really interact. I feel like I'd rather see them do it right or not bother.
