 | | 10/26/2007 11:41 AM |  Alert | As a brand new player (collector, mainly), I had in my head this notion that there couldn't possibly be too many more figures to make that we hadn't already seen. I mean we already have tons of Lukes, Hans, Vaders, etc. However, after just looking at the figure gallery for each set, I found some real surprises...some figures I thought we'd certainly have available that haven't been made yet:
Jar Jar Binks: Sadly, this is right up near the top of the figures I'd like to see. Do I like Jar Jar? No, he was highly annoying. However, as a bit of a completist, I think he needs to have a mini. As wrong as I think it was for him to be in the Star Wars movies at all, I find it even more wrong that he doesn't have a mini, considering how prominent he was in the movie(s).
Darth Vader w/o helmet, right before death: The image of the decrepit, scarred old man without his helmet is such a strong image burned into my memory. I don't know how the mini would be done, what powers it would have, etc, but I do think it's important to see a mini of Vader minus the helm.
Han Solo: Not sure what the proper name for this is, but the one Han that's missing is when he was frozen into that mold thing that he needed to be saved from. Again, not sure how the statistics should be, perhaps this should be part of a specific scenario where you're trying to save him. But I'd like to see a mini of it.
More Ewoks: so far, it looks like Wicket is the only unique Ewok. I feel like there were at least a handful of others who could be made, whether uniques or simply c/u with different sculpts.
More Jawa: Those little guys were awesome. Need more sculpts to pick from.
Snaggletooth: perhaps Snaggletooth is just a name I have in my head for a Snivvian, but I thought he was a unique. If nothing else, perhaps another Snivvian or 2.
Rancor's keeper: Maybe I missed it, but I don't think I saw Rancor's keeper. You know, the fat bald guy.
As you can tell I'm not a Star Wars expert but I have seen all the movies and collected the action figures as a child, and as a minis enthusiast, am getting into collecting the minis as well. So these were just some figures I'd really like to see.

| | 10/26/2007 7:55 PM | Alert | Actually, Han Solo in Carbonite is coming up in the next set (Force Unleashed)....and I am in total agreement about Jar Jar.....just look at my profile picture...
As for the other ones, I think the Vader is a good idea and it's bound to happen sooner or later, but the Ewoks & Jawas just got a boost from the Alliance & Empire set and probably aren't due for any more for a while... | | | |

| | 10/29/2007 1:14 PM | Alert | | I've thought about a Darth Vader "unmasked" or redemed version. I figure he would be a cheaper version of one of the existing versions with the special ability "Failed Life support" when this figure activates it loses 10 hitpoints. Smack on the Rebel faction and you should be good to go. | |
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.

| | 11/04/2007 9:55 AM | Alert | a few more:
Watto (not really a combat piece, but should at least be able to negate force points)
Padme's various outfits
Padme's dopplegangers (all the girls who hang around her who she often disguises herself as...for instance in the red/orange robes). Should have some type of bodyguard or draw fire type ability | |

| | 11/05/2007 7:00 AM | Alert | Hmm well with Darth Revan coming out, I would like to see more of the Old Republic both Sith and Jedi.
For instance we still need (From KotOR II) Darth Sion, Darth Traya, Kreia, Atton(Though I get the impression the Corellian Pirate from BH was supposed to be him,) Handmaiden, Exile(Darkside and Light side versions), Hanharr, Mira, random Sith Lords, Marauders and Assassins. | |

| | 11/21/2007 3:13 AM | Alert | Plenty of characters I'd like to see.
Jar Jar Binks is top of my list, and I 'd like a playble one at that! He's the most major character without a mini.
Watto, or even a generic Toydarian.
Sebula, or generic Dug
More Gungans, generics or even Tarpals & Boss Nass.
More Tales of the Jedi. Nomi has been confirmed, but what about Tott Donteeta, Master Thon, Arca Jeth, etc.
Ancient Sith, Marka Ragnos (Sp?), Freedon Nadd, etc.
Dark Empire reborn Emperor
More Endor characters - Ewoks, Duloks, Sanyassan Marauders, Lord Terak, etc.
Droids cartoon characters - Mungo Baobab, the White Witch speeder, Jan Tosh, Tiggy, etc.
