[darth_sidious]

I know only the first 10 count, but I made an extended list of 15 - were it Lucas working with Hasbro, these would all be ready to go, just like during the ROTS days:

1.) General / Master Leia
2.) Ben Solo
3.) Luke (Force Ghost)
4.) Leia (flashback)
5.) Luke (flashback)
6.) Connix
7.) Emperor
8.) Poe
9.) Lando
10.) Jannah

11.) Finn
12.) Vicrul (KOR)
13.) Lando (disguise)
14.) Rey (darkside vision)
15.) Leia (Force Ghost)

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Ok, here we go:

1 - Emperor Palpatine (opening scene)
2 - Sith Loyalist Royal Guard
3 - General Pryde
4 - Aftab Ackbar
5 - Poe - adventure gear w/ Babu Frik
6 - Lando - (Pasaana)
7 - Resistance Trooper
8 - Finn w/ D-0
9 - Kuruk (Knight of Ren)
10 - Jannah

...many more that I'd like to see, such as the Jet Trooper, Sith Fleet personnel, some aliens, etc. There's a lot of nice designs in this movie that would make for great figures. I hope Hasbro's up to the task!

And if this were not the Disney era, I think most of these would have already been out by now and in our collections. :x

:wink:

[darthvlad]

Need to bump this and get some love on the front page now that Mando's done! Anyone else want to contribute? Might let this run until end of June!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Will run a front pager soon.

Watched the film at least 10 times now. I definitely like it and want to see many more TVC figures from it.

:wink:

 

[Jodo]

I finally watched it, and I genuinely don’t know if there are that many figures I want from it. :? I will say it was much better than TFA and TLJ, but it felt like I had missed the movies leading up to this one...Like it was totally misplaced in this trilogy.

I’d definitely buy any version of Palpatine, and Poe because I liked his generic costume. I’d get Lando as well, just to have a figure for EU ideas....Flashback Luke and Leia to extend the OT era too...I can’t say there’s any other for certain purchases Id make. Mainly, it would probably all dependent on customization, like alien hands and heads for skiff guard customs.

I’d consider the knights of Ren as well, but only for their costumes. They barely did anything in this movie, and were totally missed opportunities in the other films.

I didn’t mind this movie though. Brittany cried several time throughout it and really enjoyed it. I would definitely watch it again, which is definitely not the case for the other ST movies.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Yeah, the Knights of Ren were a missed opportunity. They should have been treated more like Ringwraiths, hunting down Rey, and had a role in each film.

:wink:

 

[darthapathy]

Yeah, the Knights of Ren were a missed opportunity. They should have been treated more like Ringwraiths, hunting down Rey, and had a role in each film.

:wink:

That would have made the movie better than it was. They could've at least made them mow through Resistance cannon fodder before being defeated by our heroes. Not that I wanted the antagonists to win; I just wanted them to live up to the hype.

 

[darthvlad]

Yeah, the Knights of Ren were a missed opportunity. They should have been treated more like Ringwraiths, hunting down Rey, and had a role in each film.

Hunt for The One Lightsaber that Ruled Them All(TM). Frodo and Sam, er, Rey and Finn would have to journey to the land of Mordor, umm Mustafar stalked by poor Gollum/Sméagol, I mean Kylo Ren. And Aragorn, Poe, would have to fight Orcs and Goblins (First Order and Sith Eternal)…

To be serious, though, the Knights seemed cool when they were teased in TFA. In TRoS, they just stood around and only fought Ben, who took care of them pretty easily once he had a lightsaber. But to have them missing completely (not even mentioned) from TLJ is disappointing.

That's a major issue that the characters faced in every movie though...Subverted character expectations, for the sake of subverting audience expectations. It's a frail attempt at movie makers trying to be be interesting I think. :?

[darth_sidious]

Yeah, its almost strange to be requesting the main cast of a movie that came out not too long ago, and Hasbro had many opportunities to market 3.75 figures to consumers, but didnt. I still cant believe they didnt have a wave of TVC set for the home release of the movie. I love Mando and CW, but TROS is still at the top of my list for most wanted figures, hopefully Hasbro answers the call.

 

[DarthJace]

My top 10:
1 Poe ROS
2 Finn ROS
3 Lando
4 Jannah
5 Leia New Outfit
6 Palpatine
7 Some Knight of Ren
8 Pryde
9 Maz Kanata New Outfit
10 Gummi Bear Luke

To echo what others have said, it frosts me is most of this list would be "well duh" if 3.75 hadn't become a despised stepchild at Hasbro. We would have had most of these figures by Wave 2 or Wave 3 after the movie and be arguing about the order of finishing out the Knights, etc. Oh well. That's life under the Black Series regime.

 

[Kiknivek]

Just to be sure my list is understood, I'm not putting main characters in my top 10 want list. If figures like Poe and Finn in their TROS outfits aren't already in the works then the rest of my list is never happening anyway. Also not including Connix as she should really be done from one of the other movies, and the Knights of Ren because if I can’t have all of them I really don’t want them.

1) Lando Calrissian (Passana Disguise) *I feel like they could do the disguise and helmet over his yellow shirt costume and just throw in a cape with that to really have both his normal outfit and this disguise but I really want the disguised figure.
2) Lando’s driver - Kalo’ne
3) Decrepit Palpatine on apparatus
4) Young Training Leia
5) Young Training Luke
6) Jannah
7) Babu Frik w/ Work Bench accessories
8) Klaud
9) Dark Rey – not high on my list
10) Oma Tres <<<< there could be a large number of cameo figures done. We have Ahmed Best and Anthony Daniels (not great figures) as well as the Lucas Family and Pharl McQuarrie. What about Lt. Sheckil (Jeremy Bulloch), Ralakili (Clint Howard), and I know McCallum, Coleman, Guyett, Knoll, Burtt, and others did cameos (which will never happen but I’m all for it)
