Defender Wishlists 2009: The Phantom Menace

[Scott]

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 Comic Con 2009, I thought it would be a good time to revisit those lists. Here's how it works: You send your Wish List for 10 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.  The first Prequel Episode I:The Phantom Menace is now up.   If you need help coming up with names check out the Official Sites Databank:  Episode I or Wookieepedia.  Have fun and thanks for sending in your lists (remember to limit it to ten)!

Gardulla the Hutt



Tey How



Naboo Security Officer



Maoi Madakor - Captain of the Radiant VII



Mawhonic

3) Tey How
4) Kitster
5) Wald
6) Tendau Bendon

If I'm counting Ratts Tyrell, it looks like I got three off of my list as well.  Like I mentioned in the Toy Fair discussions, I was surprised how jazzed I was about the TPM wave.  There are figures in there (like the Gungan soldier) that I didn't consider wanting new versions of all that much, but they turned out great.  Aside from more background characters/droids, I think a lot of the main characters from this movie/line could stand a re-do.

1.  Super-Articulated Ultimate Obi-Wan Kenobi
3.  Ratts Tyerell (Podracer Pilot)
4.  Queen Amidala (Return to Naboo)


1.  Super-Articulated "Ultimate" Jar Jar Binks
2.  Ben Quadrinaros (Podracer Pilot)
3.  New "Ultimate" Anakin Skywalker
4.  R5-X2
5.  Queen Amidala (Post-Senate)
6.  Toonbuck Toora (Galactic Senator)
7.  Tey How (Neimoidian Controller)
8.  R5-A7 (Naboo Astromech)
9.  New "Ultimate" Captain Panaka
10. Kitster & Wald 2-pack

[Rune Haako]

1. Daultay Dofine aka Stunted Slime



2. Tey How



3. Mik Regrap - Trade Federation Diplomat



4. Trade Federation Financial Officer



5. Naboo Neimoidian Aide / Politician I
