Yak's Top Ten 2024: The Black Series: The Original Trilogy (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi)

[darthvlad]

What are your 10 most wanted figures you'd like to see in The Black Series from The Original Trilogy (A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi)?

Rules:
Pick up to 10 figures you’d like to see done in 6” scale.
If submissions have more than ten entries, only the first ten will be considered!
Only one vote per character
Feel free to add descriptions to any of your choices, such as pack-ins.
A tie-breaker for the final position(s) will be determined by an online randomizer!
Most importantly, have fun!

 

[darthvlad]

For this round, I'll allow use of Tonnika Sisters for one slot.

The fact that I've bought several customs will drastically alter my votes.... I've paid over $100 for a figure proves how much I want it (and I do want an official Hasbro version) but considering I have a good version, I don't need them as much as before I bought the custom. I also really want certain scenes more complete like the Cantina, Jabba's palace and Ewok Endor, so I may overlook characters that are more important to me.

Ok, just started with thinking of ANH and realized I was going to fill a list with all 10 ANH, so like I did with the PT, I'll list all 3 movies and whittle it down from there.

ANH:
1. Wuher
2. Bom Vimdin
3. Feltipern Trevagg
4. Elis Helrot
5. General Jan Dodonna
6. Jek Porkins
7. Jon "Dutch" Vander
8. Kabe
9. Muftak
10. Myo

ESB:
1. 2-1B
2. Admiral Ozzel
3. FX-7
4. General Rieekan
5. K-3PO
6. Bespin Leia
7. Toryn Farr
8. Ugnaught
9. Snowspeeder Wedge
10. Major Bren Derlin

ROTJ:
1. 8D8
2. Barada
3. Logray
4. Chief Chirpa
5. Droopy McCool
6. Oola
7. General Madine
8. Kithaba
9. Max Rebo
10. Sy Snootles

Ok... I'm tired and it was tough just picking only 10 for ROTJ... leaving out many I love, so picking only 10 OT figures is too much for tonight. I'll do the tough work tomorrow.

 

[darthvlad]

I know I've mentioned being pretty much out of Black Series, but I think I'd be tempted to get some Original Trilogy figures. I agree that it's tough to get down to just 10... but here goes.

1. Imperial/Death Star Gunner (A New Hope)
2. Death Star Droid (5D6-RA-7) (A New Hope)
3. Owen Lars (A New Hope)
4. Beru Lars (A New Hope)
5. Imperial Spacetrooper (A New Hope)
6. 2-1B (The Empire Strikes Back)
7. FX-7 (The Empire Strikes Back)
8. Princess Leia (Bespin Gown) (The Empire Strikes Back)
9. Weequay (Pagetti Rook) (Return of the Jedi)
10. Sim Aloo (Imperial Dignitary) (Return of the Jedi)

I'm sure any of the ones they do from everyone's lists would be great.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I've managed to hang onto some of my ANH and Jabba Palace ROTJ figures in TBS scale. So that being said, these would probably catch my eye if I saw them in the toy aisle.

1 - Hammerhead
2 - Captain Antilles
3 - Death Star Gunner
4 - Tessek
5 - Weequay Skiff Guard
6 - Giran
7 - Death Star Droid
8 - Kitik Keedkak
9 - Owen Lars
10 - Beru Lars

😉

 

[Tannith]

In TBS I pretty much only buy 20-back and Cantina figures, so....
....
1. Cantina Duros (either would do but let's say Ellorrs Madak)
2. Snaggletooth (any Cantina Snivvian would do, I think I'd prefer Zutmore)
3. Power Droid
4. Death Star Droid
5. Garindan
6. Wuher
7. Hrchek Kal Fas
....
I couldn't think of ten so I'm gonna fill out the rest with the other versions of my top two. I don't actually want three Snaggletooths in TBS but any of the three would satisfy my need so I'll put them all there.
....
8. Baniss Keeg
9. Takeel
10. Zutton

 

[ObiDad2]

This will be VERY tough for me. I could go down to 20 with little regret. I'll definitely remove all votes for figures I've bought customs of like the 3 Max Rebo Band members, 2-1B & FX-7

1. Wuher
2. Bom Vimdin
3. Feltipern Trevagg
4. Elis Helrot
5. Oola
6. Logray
7. Chief Chirpa
8. Admiral Ozzel
9. 8D8
10. Myo
