Forgive me ... for my lack of interest in doing the research myself
OK, since you're a bunch of slowpokes, I piqued my own curiousity and did some (a lot) of research and was pretty surprised with my findings on this topic, with how far Hasbro still has to go. So based on my initial requirement of wanting each figure on their
debut card, as well as requiring the same photo as was on the original Kenner card, this is where I think we're at right now as far as what's still missing:
ANH- R2-D2
- C-3PO (issued 2x on ESB card)
- Chewbacca (issued on a ROTJ card)
- Stormtrooper (issued on ESB & ROTJ cards)
- Death Squad Commander
- Jawa
- *Walrusman (issued w/ completely different picture)
- Hammerhead (rumored)
- Snaggletooth
- Power Droid (rumored)
- Boba Fett (issued on ESB & ROTJ cards)
ESB- AT-AT Driver
- Bespin Guard(s) - black & white
- C-3PO w/ Removable Limbs
- FX-7
- Imperial Commander
- TIE Fighter Pilot (issued on ROTJ card)
- Lobot (rumored)
- R2-D2 w/ Sensorscope (issued on ROTJ card)
- Hoth Rebel Commander
- *Hoth Rebel Soldier (issued w/ completely different picture)
- 2-1B
- Ugnaught
ROTJ- AT-ST Driver
- Bib Fortuna
- Chief Chirpa
- 8D8
- Emperor
- *Emperor's Royal Guard (issued w/ completely different picture)
- General Madine
- Klaatu (Skiff Guard)
- Lando (Skiff Guard)
- Paploo
- Leia Boushh
- Rancor Keeper
- Ree-Yees
- Squid Head
- Teebo
POTF- All of them except Lando General (issued on a ROTJ card)
So there's more than a handful of "does that qualify?" figures in there, including the three with totally different pix (very annoying), and the six that were issued under subsequent movie titles (just dumb). There were also TWO different Bespin Luke and Leia cardbacks of which we've only gotten one each. Then there's the question of whether General Lando qualifies on a ROTJ card, or does Hasbro need to do a POTF cardback instead (which will obviously be an issue with all the rest of the POTF figures). Zuckuss and 4-LOM are mildly iffy with the name change and silver bordering of the C5 exclusive set. Etc. Etc.
Agree? Disagree? Care? I just thought it'd be interesting to look into this since the
remaining loose vintage figures discussion and corresponding debates are really dwindling down at this point. Are there any loose collectors that have been collecting carded just for these vintage figures, or is this solely a discussion for the handful of remaining carded collectors? Either way, it's obvious there's no way Hasbro is getting through the rest of this lengthy list solely during the next vintage run, that's for sure. Oh well, as long as they tackle the remaining "loose" figures, I guess that's what's most important.
