VOTE for your Top 50 Expanded Universe Figures!

[Tycho]

Kidhuman and I had a lot of success with our Top 50 polls we started on the site here in 2004. We used two different methods and you all indicated that 36 of 50 choices were the strongest either way. We're about 50% through with seeing all our winners made into action figures today, including likely 2008 additions. I think we should go for 100% or at least 75% before we vote again.

But with that in mind, we have 3 categories of figures to continue the line with when we do vote (and Hasbro is interested in the voting as of now). Those categories are:

1) Figures Never Made Before - see our polls we conducted in the past.
2) Resculpts - for which our previous polls allowed as write-ins and some won.
3) Expanded Universe - which was never polled.

It would take at least a year to re-read everything (especially counting the crap) and make a list of every "Page-by-Page: EU Figures Never Made Before."

Let's just list what we want.

1 pt. = Choice # 50
50 pts. = Choice # 1

Just pull from the top of your head. If you hate the EU, please don't participate. Some of us feel that Ulic Qel Droma will sell better than Darrow Willits and are willing to test that theory once we get a list to put into a larger polling mix.

Please use TheForce.Net's EU Timeline to jog your memory when comprising your lists.

Here is mine:

1. Jix - Shadows of the Empire
2. Guri
3. Black Sun Thug
4. Leebo
5. Koth Melan - Bothan Spymaster

I'm not really sure about figures from "Legacy." Plus I've some space left for figures from the live-action TV series if that actually spawns any strong appeal for me. I really do want even more obscure characters from Heir To The Empire and maybe I should have put Borssk Fey'lya in there, or Garm Bel Ibis, but it would take a large group consensus to push any of them to the top anyway. Let's see what happens.

So, we're listing in ranked order from 1-50, with you (or KH, or someone else--hell, I'd be willing to do it) averaging everything together for the final list?

Right. I'll talk with Kidhuman about when to close this poll, but for now I'd expect it to stay open until the thread gets buried. Then again, if it's hot, maybe we should "sticky post" it.

I approached making my list logically: I selected EU choices that went with figures I already owned so I could expand my dioramas.

[pbarnard]

1. Nom Anor with some kind of disguise feature
2. Yuuzhan Vong Warrior
3. Hrrar, Yuuzhan Vong priest

7. Exar Kun
8. Nomi Sunrider

11. Ghent
12. Shada Dukhul, Smuggler Body Guard
13. Jacen Solo, Teenager

Chux, I would appreciate it if you helped Tycho calculate the totals. I am really busy working alot and wont have the time to do so.

I will post my list tomorrow of as many as possible. I dont even think I can name 20 EU of the top of my head.

The suggest/ground rules was 50. Sacrifices had to be made, and tried to go with from what would likely sell and while as upsetting as some think the NJO is, it did very well in terms of sales, and while Hasbro would like Dark Horse for reference reasons, there still is an obscurity associated with the comics compared to the novels. I ranked mine by what should be done getting preference over what is likely to be done, but all have a definite "need" in terms of keeping the line going. Get them interested in the "start" and the "end" of the Saga, go to the late period, than finally bring in the old hands, and top it off with what most probably want.

[Umbra]

i dont think i can come up with 50 right off top of my head, so this is going to be an unordered list, i might spend awhile updating, then i'll order, if you deem that ok, Tycho.

Commander Krettch - Ewok Pilot w/ arm and leg extenders - X-wing series
Admiral Palleon
Jacen Solo, NJO Era/teen
Jaina Solo, NJO Era/teen
Anakin Solo, NJO Era
Tahiri, NJO Era -yuuzhan vong scarring
Tenel Ka, NJO Era or teen w/ removable arm
Ysanne Issard
Exar Kun
HK-47
Corran Horn, Jedi
Nom Anor - Crimson Empire
Warmaster Tsvong Lah
Koth Melan or otherwise a Bothan Spy
Talon Kaarde
Garm Bel Ibis
Ton Phanan - Wraith Squadron X-wing pilot w/ face plate, could be a cool design i think
Dathomir Night Sister
Saba Sebetyne
Jagged Fel - Claw Craft Pilot
Alema Rar - NJO
Guri - SotE
Chiss Claw Craft Pilot
Ben Skywalker - Legacy
Lumiya- Legacy

Special things i'd like to see (worth a shot to mention):
Mini dioramas:
Something like the 500th figure, or the anniversery 2 packs like luke/leia grappling over deathstar bridge, or maybe 3 3/4 scale unleashed style:

Chewbacca- Standing defiantly roaring at the moon - Vector Prime
Ganner Rhysode - Defending enterance to the world brain

Vehicle: Claw Craft

[Tycho]

Yeah, I need to count ORDERED lists when you guys have them. If you can't come up with 50, that's fine. But it will be scored in the list order so even if you have 10:

#1 = 50pts
#2 = 49pts
#10 = 41pts

So your order is important.
