Yak's Top Ten 2024: The Vintage Collection: The Special Edition: The Return to Tatooine

[darthvlad]

In the spirit of today's reveal of the new Haslab and their campaign to Return to Tatooine, what are your 25 most wanted figures you'd like to see in The Vintage Collection from Tatooine?

Rules:
Pick up to 25 figures you’d like to see done in 3.75” scale.
If submissions have more than 25 entries, only the first 25 will be considered!
Only one vote per character.
Only characters from the above sources will be considered.
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]

After some consideration, I changed the topic of this to Tatooine instead just focusing on the Cantina since their campaign is "Return to Tatooine." I figure this could possibly extend to anyone or movie or live-action source that spent time on the desert planet.

Sources include (but not limited to):
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
The Clone Wars
Obi-Wan Kenobi
A New Hope
Return of the Jedi
Rebels
The Mandalorian
The Book of Boba Fett
The Rise of Skywalker

 

[darthvlad]

In no particular order:

1. Anakin Skywalker (The Phantom Menace)
2. C-3PO (The Phantom Menace)
3. Elan Mak (The Phantom Menace)
4. Padme Naberrie (Tatooine Peasant Disguise) (The Phantom Menace)
5. Sebulba (The Phantom Menace)
6. Shmi Skywalker (The Phantom Menace)
7. Cliegg Lars (Attack of the Clones)
8. Tusken Female (Attack of the Clones)
9. Baniss Keeg (A New Hope)
10. Beru Lars (A New Hope)
11. BoShek (A New Hope)
12. Dannik Jerriko (no holes in the cheeks!) (A New Hope)
13. Danz Borin (A New Hope)
14. Djas Puhr (A New Hope)
15. Garindan (A New Hope)
16. Garouf Lafoe (A New Hope)
17. Momaw Nadon (A New Hope)
18. Owen Lars (A New Hope)
19. Reegesk (A New Hope)

[darthapathy]

Here's my list

Momaw Nadon (SA resculpt)
Ownellco
Atheloe
Danz Borin
Yerka Mig
Ellors Madak (SA resculpt)
Bannis Keeg
Lirin C'arn
Braconnor Bakiska
Garouf LaFoe
BoShek (SA resculpt)
Swila Corey
Jenny
Djas Puhr (SA resculpt)
Labia (SA resculpt)
Muftak (SA resculpt)
Kabe (SA resculpt)
Kitik Keed'kak (SA resculpt)
Lak Sivrak (SA resculpt)
Debnoli
Dannik Jerriko (SA resculpt)
Yellow Spacer a.k.a Cantina Dude
Rycard Ryjerd
Damono Deomaley

Now, I'm probably going to get some flak for saying that all of these don't need.to be on card. In my opinion, I would like to see some of these in multi-packs using Vintage style packaging. I think it would be nice to see Ellors and Bannis in the Vintage style two pack box. What about Danz, BoShek, and Yellow Spacer in the special 3 pack style?

 

[Tannith]

Wow 25 choices seems like so many after doing so many top 10s for these. Here's mine (this list was made assuming the Cantina hits all its tiers, otherwise Tonnikas, Arleil, and Greedo would all be on here)....

1. Kitster Banai
2. W. Wald
3. Baniss Keeg
4. Window Weequay
5. Shasa Tiel
6. Reegesk
7. Tzizvvt
8. Yotts Orren
9. Fozec
10. Sy Snootles (Puppet, ROTJ)
11. Qui-Gon Jinn (Tatooine)
12. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Tatooine, TPM)
13. Darth Maul (Tatooine, TPM)
14. Anakin Skywalker (Tatooine, TPM)
15. Cantina Dude / Yellow Spacer
16. Danz Borin
17. Braconnor Bakiska
18. Cobb Sonbepol
19. Lirin Car'n
20. Rycar Ryjerd
21. ANH Lutrillian (Ownellco and/or Atheloe)
22. Muftak
23. Labria
24. Lak Sivrak
25. Djas Puhr

My first ten are just copied from my regular SWTVC Top 25, but Baniss Keeg has been given more priority given she is now my #1 Cantina priority by far, assuming Arleil Schous gets made.
I put the eligible TPM mains on, who will probably join my top 25 in the absense of Luke, Han, Tonnikas, and hopefully Arleil.
Then the main Spacers who could both supply tooling for other figures (Cantina Dude gives us Bossk and BoShek, Danz Borin gives us Spacer #3 and Ellorrs Madak).
The next segment of Patrons makes up the last few pickup shots aliens that haven't been made. Arleil Schous and Baniss Keeg also belong to this list, but other than them, the last three unmade pickup aliens are Braconnor, Cobb, and Lirin.
After them are the other two species that don't have figure representation, a category that also has Arleil Schous as well as Reegesk and Tzizvvt from earlier in my list. Defel, Ranat, Brizzit, Bimm, and Lurtrillian are the only unmade species from the Cantina.
The final four are the Patron remakes I think we need the most, and those four are the only existing Patrons that I'd consider "undisplayable" (along with Takeel, but I didn't have room for him and he could be made with a new head on the Zutton body.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

😉

2. Boshek
3. Sai’torr Kal Fas
4. Dannik Jerriko
5. Labria
6. Bannis Keeg
7. Ellors Madak

[darthvlad]

This is more of an "unofficial" wishlist this time. It won't count towards the Top Tens.

 

[ArmitageHux]

1. Brea Tonnika
2. Senni Tonnika
3. Oola
4. Ackmena
5. Twi'lek Majordomo (TBOBF, seriously, how does this guy not have a name?)
6. Garsa Fwip
7. shirtless male host Twi'lek working for Garsa Fwip (maybe a two-pack with the female Twi'lek host as well?)
8. Porcellus
9. Pelli Motto (pack-ins: pit droid and BD droid, perhaps?)
10. Rennek
11. Drash
12. Gauron Nas Tal
13. Hem Dazon
14. Cane Adiss
15. Sai'torr Kal Fas
16. Kardue'sai'Malloc
17. Attark (packed with Ghoel, and a frogdog (Buboicullaar) maybe, since they're small? Something like the old Denizens of Jabba's Court that came out in the 90s?)
18. Tawss Khaa
19. B'omarr Monk (correctly scaled)
20. Fozec
21. Malakili
22. Loje Nella
23. Giran (updated repack from 2009)
24. Lak Sivrak
25. Tork

The only reason Cobb Vanth isn't number one on my list is that I keep hearing he's already in the pipeline? But when? Seems like the time has passed for that to happen. If he's not really coming then I'd put him at the top and bump my last pick.

I know the Tonnika Sisters are slated for the Haslab, but I'd still want them as a two-pack or separately-carded figures on non-unique cards so I can open and display them. I've been wanting them since I was 3 years old, lol.

 

[darthvlad]

Edited mine finally... there are so many more now that the sources have expanded.

Plus, with the new Duros, Bith, and Rodian heads, I figure Hasbro easily could make Lirin Car'n, Ellors Madak, Baniss Keeg, and the random Greedo look-alikes like Thuku and Beedo.

 

[darthapathy]

It looks like we can take Momaw Nadon off the list after today's pipeline reveal.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Yikes, I've been so busy with work trips, then paying attention to the Cantina Haslab that I lost track of this.

I'll try and come up with my list soon...

😉

 

[jlw515]

This is assuming that Momaw Nadon and Arleil Schous will be released
(no particular order)
1.Baniss Keeg
2.BoShek (they can use SA Bossk body)
3.Solomohal (aka the Colonel)
4. Danz Borin (aka Spaceman – they could even give him 2 helmets to make the other “spacemen”)
5. Djas Puhr (updated SA or at least be able to sit down)
6. Ellors Madak
7. Dr. Evazan (repack of TVC figure – way too expensive on eBay)
8. Labria (updated SA or at least able to sit down)
9. Lak Sivrak (updated SA or at least able to sit down)
10. Mosep Biineed (repack of Black Series figure – way, way too expensive on eBay)
11. Muftak (updated SA version)
12. Rycard Ryjerd (aka Flash Gordon midget – this would complete the characters at the front of the bar)
13. Sai’torr Kal Fas (basically updated Hrcheck Kal Fas w/ correct hands & boots)
14. “Yellow Spacer” (aka “Cantina Dude – Bossk body w/ BoShek helmet. They could release Danz Borin, BoShek, and Yellow Spacer in a 3 pack! Give Danz multiple helmets to make the other 2 space men, and fans would buy multiples of the 3 pack)
15. Tawss Khaa (aka Walrus – Mosep Biineed w/o the top knot and w/ red hair)
16. Tzizvvt (aka the Fly, if they made Wioslea, they can make Tzizvvt)
17. Yerka Mig
18. Takeel/Zutton (this is basically the same mask & costum – hair is slightly different, they could just repack the TVC figure)
19. Swilla Corey
20. Dannik Jerriko (w/o the face tenticles!)
21. Jenny (not high on my list, but if we’re going to complete all the Cantina patrons, then why not)
22. Boelo (Jabba goon with the hood)
23. Gela Yeens (Jabba goon w/ goggles)
24. Davelynn Schmee (Jabba goon w/ beard. I think they’ve updated his name though)
25. Boba Fett (Jabba’s scene – this is more of an excuse to get another Boba and maybe this time they’ll give him a moveable range finder on his helmet)

Now, I'm probably going to get some flak for saying that all of these don't need.to be on card. In my opinion, I would like to see some of these in multi-packs using Vintage style packaging. I think it would be nice to see Ellors and Bannis in the Vintage style two pack box. What about Danz, BoShek, and Yellow Spacer in the special 3 pack style?

I totally agree that each figure doesn't require a special card back, but then again, I'm not a carded collector. My list is more specific to the Cantina. With that I think multiple 3-packs or "cinema scenes" would work best, especially in order to get some of the more obscure figures.
