The only one from Sideshow that I have is a Lara Croft figure, but I do have several from the Hasbro line. I considered getting the Princess Leia and Ilum Padmé figures from Sideshow.

Thing is, as we look at what the essential characters are in MSP's poll thread here, we see SideShow is nearly done with many.

Left from what will probably top 12 essential characters from each movie (for SideShow) are:

ANH:

Chewie
C-3PO
R2D2
Jawa (?)

ESB:

Hoth Han
Hoth Luke
Hoth Leia
Hoth Rebel***
Bespin Leia***
Bespin Security (don't think SideShow will go here though)


ROTJ

Leia Slave
Lando Skiff
Lando General***
Wicket
Logray
Bikerscout (I think they made a premium format one only)
Weequay***


TPM

kid Anakin
Padme (how I'd prefer one Hasbro didn't make)
JarJar
Sebulba
Watto
Captain Panaka***
Gungan Warrior
Nute Gunray***
Shmi Skywalker***
Destroyer Droid***

AOTC

Padme (in some outfit other than the Arena for my preference)***
Super Battle Droid
Dooku
Jango (don't think SideShow's done him yet)
Capt. Typho
Geonosian

ROTS

Padme Senator***
General Grievous (hasn't been offered though they've announced him)***
Grievous' Body Guard Droid***
Wookiee Warrior
SaeSee Tiin***
Bail Organa***
Utai Warrior

*** = 12" I'd surely want and buy.

But it looks like SideShow's best market lies in ESB products with the most main hero characters left for them to make (from likely essential characters). I don't think SideShow is going to delve too much into Ree-Yees, etc.

I used to buy a lot of 12" figures, and still display and enjoy many of the Hasbro efforts. While they aren't up to the quality of Sideshow, I kind of like their naivety. The only S/S I have are Greedo and Yoda... plus Indiana Jones and a few Planet of the Apes.

Sorry, first it was Comic-Con recovery and then it was a family emergency which has split my time and I didn't see that there was an AOTC vote going on when I voted last.


My AOTC votes:

1. Anakin
2. Obi-Wan
3. Padme Geonosis (pre-scratch if we have to choose)
4. Dooku
5. Jango
6. Phase I armored Clone Trooper
7. Super Battle Droid
8. Mace Windu
9. Kit Fisto
10. Geonosian Warrior
11. Plo Koon
12. Yoda (I feel dirty having this ugly abomination on my list, but it's vital to the action portion of the film I guess, plus I really had to struggle to fill the last few slots)

Also, we already have several versions of Boushh Leia, so people can use those while this new toy company gets around to producing another one. Or are we assuming that this toy company is not only rebooting the line, but coming to our homes and taking all the figures we've already bought? http://www.sirstevesguide.com/images...s/paranoid.gif

IMO, we have to look at this as a total reboot, imagine it as a different line, a full start-over, think of it as a different scale if that helps you imagine what we'd want to see done. That is how I interpreted the opening post of the thread anyway.

No problem. Things have taken my attention away some as well. Anyway, here are the results of AOTC:

Tied for 1st - 10 Votes
Anakin Skywalker
Clone Trooper
Count Dooku
Jango Fett
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Padmé - Geonosis Arena

Tied for 7th - 9 Votes
Mace Windu
Super Battle Droid

9th Place - 8 Votes
Geonosian Warrior

10th Place - 7 Votes
Ki-Adi-Mundi

11th Place - 6 Votes
Kit Fisto

Tied for 12th Place - 5 Votes
Yoda
Plo Koon

So, before we move on to Revenge of the Sith, we need to have a run-off between Yoda and Plo Koon. Please vote for one of these two.

Yoda, without a doubt.

Plo Koon.

I voted for Yoda as an ESB figure. Including his lightsaber and perhaps 2 variations on his Jedi robes (PT clean and OT raggedy) would suffice for me.

The difference between 874 year-old Yoda and 900 year-old Yoda is too minute for me to worry about.

My vote is for Plo Koon.

Yoda for me. I voted for both, but Yoda is my favourite character in the whole saga, and he has some pivotal scenes in AOTC. Plus, probably because of Hasbro's original releases, I tend to think of Plo pairing up with Saesee Tiin, so I'll wait for the next round and vote for them together (assuming he doesn't make it through this time).
