[Deathbymonkeys6996]

With all of these Tvc wants I think they should be 4 packs but I'm not against a figure with a couple alternate heads. All on the new clone molds for the clones obviously.

1) Imperial Knights (Legacy Comics)
2) Clone Trooper 187th Legion
3) Jedi (I'd love generic Jedi 4 pack with like 6 alt heads or more.
4) Commando Droids
5) Imperial Snowtrooper
6) Naboo Pilots
7) Naboo Guards
8) Handmaidens (orange outfits) Alt sabe and Amidala faces a long with more.
9)501st Arf Trooper
10) New Republic trooper (Ahsoka/Mando blue outfit)

 

[LobotsComb]

Endor Commandos
Sandtroopers
Pike syndicate
Snowtroopers
Ewoks
Galactic Marines
Hoth Rebel soldiers (not indoor Echo Base troops)
Pirates ala Mando.
Jawas
Regular Tuskin Raiders.
In no particular order.

 

[UKHistory]

1) Imperial mountain troopers--I really like the helmet design on this black series figure and painted up some. But this would be good one.
2) Pyke soldiers Kessell
3) Pyke soldiers Book of Boba Fett
4) Speeder bike patrol figure (Solo)
5) Rebel Techs Yavin IV
6) Rebel Generals Yavin
7) Mon Cals (2 from Rogue one) and 2 from Jedi
8) Endor rebel troopers
9) Scariff rebels
10) Crimson Dawn henchmen (I have the heads from Outer Rim Traders--they are excellent--) 2 with open helmets showing the orangutans and 2 with closed helmet

 

[chtp72]

1. Praetorian Guards
2. Knights of Ren
3. Blue Squadron Pilots
4. Y-Wing Pilots (ROTJ)
5. B-Wing Pilots
6. A-Wing Pilots
7. Echo Base Soldiers (Trench outfits, not deck officers)
8. Sith Troopers (including regular trooper and the guys Rey and Ben fight on Exogol)
9. Rebel Officers/Technicians (Yavin)
10. First Order Officers

 

[joemando92]

My top 10 most wanted troop builders in Star Wars: The Vintage Collection are as follows:

1. Praetorian Guard (The Mandalorian, S3)
2. Clone Commando
3. BX Commando Droid
4. Imperial Super Commando (Rebels)
5. Stormtrooper (Update: Barbell Hips, separately sculpted shoulder armor similar to HK assassin droid, new hands on par with Andor Clone Trooper)
6. Mandalorian Neo-Crusader (KOTOR)
7. Imperial Combat Driver
8. X-Wing & TIE Pilot (Update: Barbell hips)
9. New Republic Trooper
10. Inferno Squad Commando

I think the fact that Hasbro are still releasing troop builders with outdated articulation (and I'm including both swivel joints and those awful hinge-swivel "ball" hip joints that were used in the line between 2018 and 2021) is ridiculous. Outside of named characters, troop builders should be the next in the list of priorities for Hasbro to make with the most cutting edge modern features - if only to ensure the tooling has the most reuse potential and longevity.

 

[Dark Trooper]

1) Sandtroopers
2) Snowtroopers (New Sculpt)
3) Hoth Rebel Soldiers (Trench Gear/uniform)
4) Endor Rebel Soldier/Trooper
5) Gamorrean Guards
6) Death Star Troopers
7) Naboo Royal Guard
8) Naboo Royal Security
9) Cantina Patrons
10) Jabbas palace denizens

 

[vikingrobot]

1. Jedi - mix of aliens and human - any era
2. Rebel Endor Trooper - ROTJ
3. Ewoks
4. Protocol-style droids...all new sculpt first
5. Snowtrooper - ESB
6. Moff Gideon's commandos
7. Ugnaughts
8. Clone Phase 1
9. Pyke Soldiers
10. Tonnika Brothers

 

[Raylen]

1- Yavin Generals. (I realize many would be character specific but seems we won;t get them single carded. Dodonna and Draven and two others.)
2- Yavin Tech Crew
3- Yavin Ground Crew (these guys are insanely expensive and therefore not practical to army build)
4- Rebel Honor Guard (I have 6 already, but others might need them. They can share parts with the rebel tech crews)
5- Mudtroopers (PLEASE!!!)
6- Imperial Infantry or the security team from Andor
7- Imperial tech crew (My ISD bridge needs a bunch and the secondary market prices are crazy)
8- Sandtroopers (probably will happen with the "return to Tatooine" push)
9- Endor Rebel Commandos (about time we get the jumpsuit version out there but I'd say the variety of outfits)
10- Moff Gideon's Mando troopers. (They already made the jetpack included with Din. Kinda of no brainer considered they are Mandos.)

 

[Artie]

I would love to see the following figures being made:
- Amanaman
- Rancor Keeper
- Imperial Dignitary
- A-wing pilot multipack
- B-wing pilot multipack
- Y-wing pilot multipack
- Garindan
- Leesub sirin
- The bad badge
- Kardue sai malloc
- Rebel Repair crew "Yavin Base"

 

[YanSolo]

01 - Imperial Officers (I know we just got one, but there are many, many more on my wishlist)

02 - Rebel Pilots (A-, B-, X- and Y-Wings, Snowspeeder, etc.)

03 - Astromechs

04 - Scarif Rebel Troopers

05 - Mon Calamari Officers

06 - Bespin Guards

07 - Rodians

08 - Quarrens

09 - Chiss Officers

10 - Protocol Droids

 

[Mobi-wan Kenobi]

Imperial Snowtrooper
A-Wing Pilot
Endor Rebel Trooper/Commando (Alternate Outfit from what we got in 1.0)
Shocktrooper (ROTS)
212th Clone (ROTS)
41st Elite Kashyyyk (ROTS)
Galactic Marine (ROTS)
Magnaguard
Super Battle Droid

 

[Arc501GJ]

Thought this would be hard to come up with 10 but great suggestions from other posters have made me realise how many possibilities there are. All TVC

1 - Pyke Syndicate (TBOBF)
2 - Narkina V prisoners (Andor). If he’s not coming out individually, Kino Loy
3 - 501st troopers (TCW)
4 - Saw Gerrera’s partisans (Rogue One/Andor)
5 - The Twins carriers (TBOBF)
6 - Rebel Soldiers Scarif (Rogue One) including Jav Mefran
7 - Umbaran soldiers (TCW)
8 - Aniseya’s coven, including Koril and Twi’lek witch (The Acolyte)
9 - Quarren Boatsmen Trask (The Mandalorian)
10 - Death star scientists Eadu (Rogue One) including repack of Galen Erso – may still be cheaper than buying the single figure

4 - Jedi Temple Guards
5 - Imperial Swamp Troopers (SOLO)
6 - Rebel Pathfinders
7 - Sandtroopers
