The Tonnika actress that passed away signed over her likeness, the other held out, but a couple years ago she agreed to sign it over, thanks to an interview with Victoria's Cantina. At this point, Disney might have already obtained it, so its actually likely that Hasbro can produce them now.

I wonder if there’s a reason they are waiting. They have to know there is a demand there...

Odd to see how many main characters made the list, but they definitely need to be redone. Momaw Nadon is the only one I disagree with. The most recent TAC version is fine with me. Having said that, I would still buy a new version!

Great work Darth Vlad!

Momaw Nadon needs to be able to sit in the cantina. That's my only real gripe. Same with a few others like Labria, Hem Dazon, Muftak, etc. I really want to sit characters in my Cantina as that is much more authentic.

I'm fairly pleased that Luke and Leia from ANH are very much on fan radars as those 2 need definitive figures really badly. It's too bad we have to put slots into a Most Wanted for them and Lando but that's where we are today.

With all the love for Luke lately, would not be surprised if a new farmboy Luke is coming soon.

I agree. I also feel that Hasbro needs to just do the whole family.
  • Luke Skywalker (Farmboy)
    Princess Leia Organa (Senator)
    Uncle Owen Lars
    Aunt Beru Lars
    Cliegg Lars
    Shmi Skywalker
    Queen/Padme Amidala (something new/update would be nice)
    Anakin Skywalker (hmm, Tatooine or Revenge of the Sith?)

This is where Hasbro needs to bring the multi packs back. I know that's asking a lot but it would be a perfect way to get some figures which may be considered pegwarmers if released on card. It would also allow for accessories that wouldn't fit on card such as Cliegg's hoverchair.

Lars' Homestead (AOTC)-Cliegg Lars(new), Shmi Skywalker (photoreal and articulation update), Owen Lars (TLC repack), Beru Whitesun (TLC repack), Anakin Skywalker (repack)

Lars' Homestead (ANH) Luke Skywalker; moisture farmer (new; SA), Owen Lars (SA update), Beru Lars (SA update), C-3PO and R2-D2 (BAD sculpt)

Regal Rulers 2 pack-Queen Amidala; Theed Palace (photoreal and articulation update) and Princess Leia ; Imperial Senate (hood up and hood down heads with photoreal update and articulation update).

darthapathy, I forgot about young Owen and Beru. Nice catch.

I love your idea. If only Hasbro would listen.

I kind of went with their line of thinking. One or two new figures with a few repacks.
They probably won't do anything to recognize it, but the 20th Anniversary of AOTC isn't very far off. Wouldn't that be a nice little surprise to get a set like this? Although I'd rather have the ANH version if we only got one.

Again, I know I'm getting in late on this...but I love a list! And I'm also going with my 20 back theme again to get those characters on TVC cards, as well as finishing the original 92:

1 - Momaw Nadon
2 - Zutton
3 - MB RA-7
4 - Owen Lars
5 - Bespin Guard (guard on the Kenner cardback)
6 - Admiral Piett
7 - Shasa Tiel (Jabba's palace Ishi Tib)
8 - Giant Mouse Droid
9 - Imperial Dignitary Sim Aloo
10 - Emporer Palpatine
