Core Characters That Need Revisiting
« on: July 29, 2004, 08:55 PM »
Hey Hasbro!  We know that you need to keep core characters in the mix.  Here are some that might please both collectors and the more casual fans, albeit they do need some improvements in the facial sculpts.

THE PHANTOM MENACE

Basic Figures

-Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi as they are seen below



or like so..



or perhaps like this




-Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Theed Generator Duel (super-posable, please!)




-Qui-Gon Jinn & Darth Maul from the Theed Generator Duel (super-posable, please!)




-Anakin Skywalker in Pod Racing gear with removable helmet




-Queen Amidala on Coruscant



Ultra/Deluxe Figures

Super Posable Jedi and Sith are some of the biggest gripes I have with the Prequel figures right now so there are some good choices there Nick

The lack of Episode II Amidalas is more than puzzling as well...there are a bunch of them and most of them may never see plastic :-\

As I wait for the heavy objects to be hurled my way, I have to say that I'd actually, gladly, take a Jar Jar Senator in a normal pose.

Call me crazy, but it's needed.

It's blasphemy not to include Hoth Leia on your list!   :P

I'd like to see Hasbro make new versions of:

- Hoth Leia
- Ceremonial Leia
- Luke in Stormtrooper disguise
- Han is Stormtrooper disguise
- Emperor (the Saga version sucked ass)

Non-core characters:
- Bib Fortuna
- Death Star Trooper
- Uncle Owen
- Hoth Rebel (taller than a midget this time)
