Title: Defender Wishlists 2013: The Empire Strikes Back
Post by: Scott on June 27, 2013, 09:28 AM
(http://www.jedidefender.com/news/images/5-03/esb.jpg)

For the last couple of years we ran an informal poll with your 10 most wanted characters from the current Star Wars Films.  Continuing the tradition and trying to finish up before C6, I thought it would be a good time to revisit those lists. Here's how it works: You send your Wish List for 10[/i] 3 3/4" Figures to me or post them here, be it new figures, resculpts or even re-releases and I'll tally the votes.  After four weeks of list taking I'll publish the results and we will move on to the next movie.  Fan favorite The Empire Strikes Back is currently on deck.   If you need help coming up with names check out the Official Sites Databank:   Episode V (http://starwars.com/databank/appearance/ep5.html).  Have fun and thanks for sending in your lists (remember to limit it to ten)!

1 ) SA Lando (with removable cape)
2 ) Hoth Rebel Hangar Technician/Flight Mechanic/Whatever
3 ) Lt. Sheckill (Jeremy Bulloch Imperial)
4 ) Wedge Antilles, Snowspeeder Pilot
5 ) Hoth Luke (TVC Figure eats it IMO)
6 ) Human/Hunchback Ugnaught
7 ) Dagobah Luke Skywalker Resculpt (Seriously this one needs better articulation)
8 ) Torryn Farr
9 ) Hoth Rebel Scout (Hoth Rebel Soldier w/Ball Jointed Hips to ride a taun-taun)
10)  Treva Horme

Some of these guys are rumored...  So I suspect some changes.
Was I the only one tempted to put Hoth Luke back on the list?  I don't consider the Vintage figure nearly adequate.  Too tall, bulky goofy hands, meh headscuplt and terrible scarf/goggle feature.  Two heads would've been a better option on that one

Yeah your stuff is right in there...such notables as:

Hobbie
IG-88 (White)

Post by: Jesse James on October 4, 2013, 02:06 PM
Hobbie's a good one, and I'd take the Rebel tech in a heartbeat.  Hoth Rebel Commander's more a head variation of the Trooper, but I'd take it.  White IG-88's an oddity but kinda cool...  again a variation of something we have, but kinda neat.

I forget Lee Phenets but whatever.  Not much OT I won't buy.

Post by: Scockery on October 10, 2013, 10:26 PM
He's an interesting choice, but begs the question, would he be...

Hologram style? That is transparent blue, how they've been doing holograms (except Jabba's palace Luke, which was some time ago)

More movie accurate? That is translucent with paint details like recent "Jedi spirit" figures.

A normal not-see-through Imperial officer? Not screen accurate, but arguably more useful as a "toy".

In theory they could do more than one of the above, but the rate Hasbro does things, especially obscure Imperial officers, that seems unlikely.

I really can't seem them going nuts on imperial officers unless it is a multipack style...Ozzle, Piett, Jerjerrod, Scheckil, Jir, Lennox etc etc

I think that you'd probably have to do Asteroid Victim Star Destroyer Captain as part of a multi-pack, with Vader and some other Imperials.  Ideally, I'd like to see the AVSDC's hologram de-rezzing as his Star Destroyer is being hit by the asteroid.  But then, that's just me.

I think piett and sheckil have best shot.  Piett because he's quasi main.  Sheckil because hasbro likes doing the helmet less actor homage.  I'd say Ozzel redo next though for my money is be happy with at most new legs and a new color.
