1) Orray w/cart and Geonosian Picador [AOTC]
2) Bor Gullet (technically, not a creature but too big for a card) [RO]
3) Jerba (to go with the Cantina) [ANH]
4) Bantha (update/upgrade-more realistic, more articulation) [ANH]
5) Taun Taun (more articulation) with handler "Corman Quien" [ESB]

7) Jabba's Palace creature pack (Attark/Sic-Six/Worrt) [ROTJ]

1. "Patrol Dewback" [ANH] - and that's exactly what the box should say. Brand new sculpt, similar to the 6" & Sideshow versions, definitely with the vintage, furry "high-front" saddle (not exactly sure what to call this design).
2. Bantha [ANH] - new or upgraded sculpt, needs to have faux fur, with colors more like the '98 toy. Make the saddle be able to hold a rifle & gaffi stick.
3. Panna Dragon [HS] - the cartoon is the only part of the Holiday Special that Lucasfilm seems to recognize, so Holiday Special Boba Fett needs his "faithful," hungry beast. There's actually a very good custom vintage-style Panna Dragon available through Etsy. I think they've got the sculpt dead on, just make a version without the box, insert saddle.
4. "Hoth Wampa" [TESB] - again this is exactly what the box should say. Super articulated, but my main two requests for this are (1) no blood paint apps on the face and (2) make the horns separate pieces that are snapped into the head like the vintage toy.
5. Taun Taun [TESB] - super articulated with good paint apps, make the saddle be able to hold a weapon or have various packs you can change out, some kind of split-belly feature, and come with different tusks (one set intact, one set broken) that way you can buy multiple taun tauns and customize them however you want.
6. Eopie [TPM/AOTC/ROTS, Obi-Wan] - super articulated, make the saddle with extra snap-in (peg) bags, give it some kind of peg to hold a rifle or stick.
7. Cracian Thumper [WEG - Rebel Alliance Sourcebook] super articulated, and make the sculpt look as close as the image from the RPG book as possible - more horse-like than dragon-like. You could even put a Rebel Scout with it.
8. Ronto [ANH:SE - can't remember if it appears in the prequels, I'm sure it does] super articulated without and "action" features. Make the packing gear separate so you can customize it and give it an exclusive soft-goods Jawa. They could even throw in a "ronto wrap" accessory as an easter egg!
9. Hutt Twins [BoBF] - I'm just trying to think out of the box here and get some other Hutt figure besides Jabba. Seems like Hasbro should be able to pull something like this off with the current Jabba sculpt and either a new head sculpt or different paint apps.
10. Jerba [ANH] - I'm only adding this one because I'm a huge fan of the Cantina, and a Jerba is "needed" to complete the exterior entrance scene. This could have good articulation, faux fur (where needed), and make the saddle with detachable packing gear.

I already have just about all the creatures I want, as I'm not interested in seeing the OT beasts updated any further and the Blurrg was my dream release. I'll list those that remain unmade that I'd purchase and update my list more later.

1. Orray
2. Cane Adiss
3. Bordok
4. Lady Proxima
5. Worrt

Good call on the Cracian Thumper. That would be an awesome beast to get.

I'd love to see several of those old West End Games designs (creatures, ships) as toys. Some of those speeders and speeder trucks had really cool designs.

[Arc501GJ]

Not sure whether to categorise large aliens like Lady Proxima, Bor Gullet and Hutts on here otherwise they would have made the list too, Already an abundance to choose from so leaving them off makes it easier to narrow it down to 10.

3 – Mudhorn (The Mandalorian)

4 – Orray (w/ Geonosian picador) (AOTC)

10 – Shriek-hawk chick (The Mandalorian)
