JediDefender Wishlists 2023/24: The Eras Tour: Expanded Universe

[P-Siddy]

What are your 20 most wanted figures you'd like to see in The Vintage Collection from The Eras Tour: 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.

[Ryan]

Interestingly my list has almost totally changed. I didn't have any non-KOTOR gaming figures on my list last year and leaned heavily on the X-Wing novels. I hadn't played Jedi: Survivor yet either. Now that we finally have a Cal Kestis, it'd be nice to have some friends to put him with. I also like how most of these fit in with the rest of the OT/CW era and wouldn't look out of place on the shelf. Given that it these are new media and fairly popular, I feel likesome of these would have a decent chance of getting made.

Jedi: Survivor/Fallen Order

1 - Greez Dritus (Survivor Appearance)
2 - Cere Junda (Survivor Appearance)
3 - Merrin (Survivor Appearance)
4 - Bode Akuna
5 - Jedi Master Eno Cordova
6 - 5th Brother Inquisitor - (Technically was in a Jedi: Survivor prequel book)
7 - Nightbrother Warrior
8 - Talon Malicos
9 - Jedi Master Jaro Tapal (His clone troopers would make an easy repaint but aren't on my ist because I don't want to waste the spot on a repainted clone)
10 - Second Sister
11 - Turgle
12 - Rayvis
13 - Dagan Gera
14 - Jo the Cannibal (Haxion Brood Bounty Droid)
15 - Bedlam Raider Veteran
16 - BX-Series Commando Droid

KOTOR

17 - Darth Malak
18 - Carth Onasi
19 - Canderous Ordo
20 - T3-M4

So Nick and Ryan agreeing on some KOTOR dudes and Jeff and Nick agreeing on some SWGE figures and then a bunch of one-votes. 

Three voters.    Guess most folks don't have strong opinions on EU any more.

Or they figure Hasbro won't touch them??? 

[Jeff]

Or they figure Hasbro won't touch them???

Yeah, I can see that.  EU in TVC now seems to all be video game stuff or "what comic Boba Fett repaint can we do?". 

That TVC Disney Life Day Chewie one-off they did gave me hope that maybe they'd do more from the Holiday special sometime.  I was also hoping with the resurgence in THRAWN! mania, we'd maybe get back into that a little bit and get some of those classic Thrawn characters (Joruus, Luuke, Paellaeon, Noghri) but I guess they are just giving that love to the BS6" line.

I think it was a combo of those for me. I updated mine to all the Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor stuff because it felt like we'd have better chance of getting current media figures. I would still want other older EU figures, but I fear we'd largely be in the minority there these days. With the exception of a few main characters from the EU, we just don't have enough slots in the TVC line where anything from this classic EU that would make my top 50.

[Jedi Idej]

Arghh. I have a fondness for those characters from the 90s (and 80s) comics and books. I missed finalizing my list. Again.

Stoopid Easter.
