You really like the Death Star Trooper?  I think the detail is pretty good, but I hate the way it's posing.  You can't tell if he's trying to run away from something or if he's pinching a loaf (look at the stress and pain in his eyes!).

I'll list a few faves as picking one is difficult.

Tarkin
Motti
RH Vader
Commtalk Vader

Can you see a trend developing 8)
Title: Re:Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: JediMAC on January 14, 2003, 04:39 PM
I'd definitely go with the Removable Helmet Vader.  Just awesome.  But pretty much any brand new figure that had never been made in the Vintage line was highly favored by me:

Post by: stormtripper on January 21, 2003, 04:24 AM
Darktrooper and Spacetrooper, I like them I have 2 of each and I want an army of them.

Title: Re:Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Scott on January 21, 2003, 12:17 PM
Comm Tech Stormtrooper...the best figure possibly ever, just needed wrist articulation and it would be...
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Jango Fettish on March 19, 2003, 11:48 PM
I flipped over finally getting my Zuckuss, so he is on up there. Of course, CTC Stormie. Best..figure..ever.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Klaatu on March 23, 2003, 02:11 AM
Removalble Helmet  Vader by far, then the Comtech Stormtrooper
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Hung Solow on June 2, 2003, 11:33 AM
I always liked Admiral Motti.  If Vader wasn't choking him, a fish bone was.  ACK!! ACCCK!!
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Sith Bounty Hunter on June 27, 2003, 05:22 PM
I'd say either Stormtrooper Luke or Boba Fett.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: ezehogan on June 29, 2003, 02:36 AM
That's a tough one, but I'll have to go with holo Leia R2.  That was a great figure.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Lemon-Viper on June 30, 2003, 01:46 PM
Probably Grand Moff Tarkin would have to be my favorite fig in the POTF2 line.  I always wanted one and for some reason they didn't make a vintage figure of him. :'(

Runners up would be Removable helmet Vader and removable hand Luke.  Those were works of art.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Jagdohh_Fett on July 9, 2003, 03:53 AM
Admiral Ackbar because he's been one of my favorite figures since the vintage line and the sculpt is dead-on.

Post by: jadesfire on July 15, 2003, 09:44 AM
That's a tough one, but I'll have to go with holo Leia R2.  That was a great figure.

Yup, that's my pick too!

Luke Bespin
Stormtrooper CT
Motti
Tarkin and Piett,  nice sculpts.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: OlBenKenobi on March 7, 2004, 12:51 PM
Commtech Greedo and R2-D2 with Holo Leia
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: genraljake on April 5, 2004, 10:38 AM
i think R2D2 is my favourite figure he look amazing with silver detail on it
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Dressel Rebel on May 3, 2004, 12:02 AM
When people listed "sandtrooper" here, I'm assuming they meant the POTJ version and not the POTF2 version.  Because the POTF2 version looks hideous next to CT stormies and POTJ sandies.

And now for business:

Removable helmet Vader

Runners up:

Ree-Yees
CT stormie
Snowtrooper
Orrimaarko
Gamorrean Guard
Mon Mothma
Momaw Nadon
Ewoks: Wicket and Logray 2 pack
Klaatu, Nikto, Barada 3 pack
CT Jawa with gonk
Lak Sivrak
Muftak
Bossk
4-Lom
Ugnaughts
Ackbar
EV9D9
Pote Snitkin
Weequay
CT Greedo
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Darth_Anton on January 8, 2006, 11:10 AM
It's a toss up between Removable helmet vader and Holo-Leia R2 for me.
R2 was one of the first really good R2's and Vader still holds up very well today.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: JesseVader08 on January 8, 2006, 11:49 AM
My favourite?  I know it sounds strange, but it's the first wave of figures:

Ben(Obi-Wan)Kenobi
C-3PO
Chewbacca
Darth Vader
Han Solo
Luke Skywalker
Princess Leia Organa
R2-D2
Stormtrooper

Why?  For purely sentimental reasons.  Without these steroid freaks we'd never have progressed to the quality we have today.  :)

Now, in terms of quality of sculpt, I'd choose the AT-AT Driver and CT Stormtrooper, as well as Ree Yees, Gamorrean Guard, Admiral Motti, Grand Admiral Thrawn and Grand Moff Tarkin.

Post by: Alpha_17 on January 8, 2006, 05:10 PM
I was really young when this line first came out, so I can't really remember, but I think my favorite figure was Darth Vader.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Dan on February 12, 2006, 11:19 AM
Put me down for RH Vader as well. If you are new to collecting the line, that one can be had for less than 10.00 easy, and is well worth the money.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Jesse James on February 13, 2006, 08:03 AM
I wound up with RH Vaders through trades over the years...  Great figure, it's really good to have for even nostalgia as it was really kind of a landmark figure when it was made.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Reid on February 14, 2006, 07:31 PM
CT Stormie.

Nuff' said.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Dan on February 15, 2006, 10:49 AM
CT stormie is definately good, it makes up the bulk of my stormtrooper army. The RH vader was just so much better than any vader before it, and still holds up well compared to the new ones. I think the CT stormie was eclipsed by the VOTC version.

I highly agree. I just sold all of my POTF2 figures and he was one that I couldn't part with. My other favorites would have to be:

* Slave Leia - God, I remember the hype when this figure 1st came out. One time I had a guy follow me out to the parking lot offering to give me $20 each for them.
* Ewok 2 pack
* Jawa 2 pack
* SOTE Chewbacca Bounty Hunter Disguise

Post by: Ryan on February 22, 2006, 10:06 PM
For me it is either the EU darktrooper or the Endor Rebel. Wierd choices I know, but they were my favorite figures when I was younger. Somehow I found the darktrooper at a TRU when I was little, I had to have been about 13, I had no idea what it was but I thought it looked cool so I bought it.
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Mitsukara on April 30, 2006, 11:15 PM
Well, back in the day Jedi Knight Luke, Trenchcoat Han, and General Lando were my big favorites :) Guess I was a bit of a ROTJ nut then, too...

Trenchcoat Han looks pretty bad these days though, but I have to say that there's still something endearing about that Luke. He makes the head sculpt look a lot better than the first Luke or Degobah Luke did, and his outfit is pretty cool. But maybe it's the high heels ;)

These days, though... well, I need to get some Commtech Stormtroopers, a Commtech Greedo, and a Commtech Luke, but of what I have/had and have taken apart for customizing...

#1 EU Dark Jedi Luke
A great headsculpt and a pretty gnarly- if a little weird- outfit, plus a removeable/turning hand- when I first got this figure it tempted me to avoid my custom figure plans for the head, and just leave the figure as-is.

#2 EU Grand Admiral Thrawn
Again with the great headsculpt, and except for his wimpy shoulders and short stature, his imperial uniform looks a bit better than Tarkin's or Piett's in the way the "skirt' piece meets at the hip joints.

#3 Commtech Han Solo
Decent sculpting and great articulation for back then, plus a normal-sized gun with good detailing- and a removeable vest. This figure really helped start some good trends, I think, and he's the king of custom fodder (and Corellia?).

#4 Ceremonial Gear Luke Skywalker
Great young Mark Hammil headsculpts began here, and he's not over-buff and his outfit is pretty cool, plus he'd make wonderful custom fodder... good all-around.

#5 Flashback Luke Skywalker
Commtech Luke looks better, but this Luke packed some pretty cool accessories...

#6 "All New Likeness" Leia Organa
Why is this still one of the best Leia headsculpts? Am I missing something they've made since?

#7 Hoth Gear Luke Skywalker
Still the best neutral version of this figure, and he manages to evade buffness as well- plus he's just pretty cool overall :)

#8 Obi Wan "Ben" Kenobi
Of the original line, only he and C3PO really looked anywhere close to right, and Obi Wan stands the test of time a little better I think.

#9 Yoda
Like Ben, Yoda looked pretty good and actually doesn't look bad amongst newer figures now.

#10 Admiral Ackbar
The best Ackbar we've gotten...

#10 Admiral Ackbar
The best Ackbar we've gotten...


Its the only!

"ITS A TRAP!"

Top 3 fo' me were

1. Luke Bespin
2. Momaw "The Hammerhead' Nadon
3. Muftak
Title: Re: Favorite POTF2 Figure.
Post by: Mitsukara on May 1, 2006, 09:52 PM
Bespin Luke looks pretty good, but I never got one and I'm pretty fond of my Saga Bespin Luke. I want to make a custom combining the two though... or maybe a commtech Luke head on Saga Bespin body. Maybe do a little repainting to make his outfit look less wind-weathered, as well, and you've got a heck of a general-purpose Bespin Luke.

Really, Bespin Luke is very much akin Dark Jedi Luke, with similar headsculpts and the same style of hand. Some of the better stuff in the POTF2 line, methinks.

Also, you might wish to edit your post and move the "
Quote
" tag from the end to right before you "Its the only!" line- it looks like your entire post is a quote :)

Ackbar is cool, but I think they should redo him eventually. The sculpting was good but I'd like to see one with hinged knees or something, and maybe more useable hands. I find his arm cannon a little amusing ;)

New here.  Love them all!  THE best line ever, and was upset that they ended it.

If I had to go and choose one favorite, it would just be Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight.
