Complete (possible) Vintage Card Checklist

[Tycho]

How far could the VC go? Well, let's start with the prequel figures, because they're easiest.

I'd think that just primary (not necessarily just "the main") charcters would be done - and only on their respective movie cards.

I put an "x" in front of what has been done already.

TPM:

Qui-Gon
Qui-Gon Tatooine (this would probably be another carded figure)
Obi-Wan (E1 version)
Anakin (E1 version - and in this case, both helmets could be included)

I tried to give each movie an equal amount of characters on each type of cardback, but didn't recommend repeats.

[Tycho]

And here will come the OT list in a little while. They appeared on a lot of cardbacks for each movie. It takes a while to sort through the lists.

ANH

Obi-Wan Kenobi (x-SW card)
Darth Vader (x-ESB card)
Leia (x-SW card)
Han (x-SW card)
Luke Tatooine (with stormtrooper belt, poncho, hat, rifle) (x-SW card)
Luke Stormtrooper
Luke X-wing (x-SW card)
Chewbacca (x-ROTJ card)
R2D2 (x-ROTJ card)
C-3PO (x-ESB card)
Stormtrooper (x-ROTJ card)
Death Star Trooper
Tusken Raider (x-SW card)
Jawa
Power Droid
R5D4
Death Star Droid (RA-7)
Death Star Gunner
Greedo (x-SW card)
Hammerhead (Momaw Nadon)
Walrusman (Ponda Baba) (x-SW card)
Snaggletoothe (Zutton)
blue Snaggletoohe (taller Zutton error figure)
Boba Fett (x-ESB card, x-ROTJ card)

(obviously Han Stormtrooper and Leia Ceremony should be done now, as could many others like Tarkin and cantina aliens, Rebel pilots...the Fleet Trooper, Antilles, etc. But they weren't in the '80s. I'm all for doing them now, too! - but I'm not buying characters I already have myself. So I'm just saying they'd look cool vintage carded).*

Counting variations on the droids and Snaggletoothe, plus Jabba, Salacious, and the Max Rebo Band, there were 102 figures in the original Kenner run that were significantly different. This did not take into account large and small heads, smiling figures, robe differences, and accessory variations.

Also note that some of the figures could be re-offered, especially ANH figures, and then some ESB figures, on the later ROTJ cards.

I believe Hasbro said they would NOT repeat POTF coin cards, but these could be made one day, too.

Meanwhile, ANH Leia could come out on ESB and ROTJ cards and still be a "correct, vintage Kenner represenation," and not repeat the 2004 OTC offering - though I think most would rather see a re-issue of that Leia from ANH on an ANH card - or buy it in the secondary market. However, Vader has never been released (modernized) on the ANH card, nor has Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, Stormtrooper, or Boba Fett.

*This is an excellent time to offer Bom Vimdim, and older figures like Wioslea, Leia Medical Frigate, Lando Smuggler, Hem Dazon, Dannik Jerriko, the Rebel Fleet Trooper, Djas Puhr, K-3PO, Dagobah Vader, Admiral Motti, Mon Mothma, Garindan, Luke Dagobah, and Han Stormtrooper could all be offered on vintage cards, while new figures like Bom Vimdim are made, other never-made-before figures like Taym-Dren Garen are offered.

R2 Sensorscope of the 2004 VOTC offerings (originally updated for a ROTJ card, could also be re-issued on an ESB card).

If they wanted true Vintage style, there'd be one AOTC Clonetrooper and one ROTS Clonetrooper. They could double as whatever commanders.

Well, some armor - like Bacara's - or if they made Neyo - differs significantly.

As far as the Phase-1's - I don't think the high ranks (red-captain, and yellow-commander, ought to be carded). If you army build, you'd buy many more of the lower ranks (plain, and green-sergeants, esp.) These low ranks could be included again in battlepacks with the high-ranking commanders. Entertainment Earth made the mistake of selling the officers in equal proportions to the non-coms.

[Tycho]

OK, with the original vintage, I got out of 102 figures:

24 ANH
30 ESB
48 ROTJ

Obviously, ANH and ESB could catch up with ROTJ's 48 figures.

New ESB figures (up to 18):

1. Ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi***+ (could be done softgoods style like Hayden)
2. Darth Vader Apparition (Dagobah w. Luke's face)***
3. Leia Bespin
4. Leia Bespin Escape
5. Leia Medical Frigate
6. Han Bespin***
7. Han Echo Base (currently available)***+
8. Han Bespin Torture (re-card 2007, mabye with better lower body)
9. Han Carbon Freeze***
10. Luke Hoth
11. Luke Snowspeeder Pilot
12. Luke Dagobah (Bespin Jacket open)***+
13. Luke Medical Frigate
14. R2D2 Sensorscope (ESB card)
15. Hoth Rebel Soldier (never been offered, correctly modernized)***+
16. Hoth Rebel Commander (actually the trench solider with the beard, but carded w.o. beard = better)
17. Imperial Officer (originally on Kenner ESB card though)
18. TIE Fighter Pilot (originally on Kenner ESB card though)

*** Would almost definitely be a brand new figure! (6 / 18)
+ = never made before for the modern line! (3/18, counts in the 7 new figures)

ANH could have up to 24 new figures:

1. Vader on ANH card
2. Leia Yavin Ceremony***
3. Han Stormtrooper
4. Luke Stormtrooper
5. Luke Yavin Ceremony
6. Chewie ANH card
7. R2D2 ANH card
8. C-3PO ANH card
9. Stormtrooper ANH card
10. Death Star Trooper
11. Jawa
12. Gonk Droid
13. R5D4
14. Death Star Droid
15. Death Star Gunner
16. Sandtrooper (currently available)
17. Grand Moff Tarkin*** (might be kit-bashed)
18. Hammerhead (Momaw Nadon)
19. Snaggletoothe (Zutton)
20. Dr. Evezan***
21. Bom Vimdim***+
22. Wraith (Defel, Arliel Schlos)***+
23. Ranat (cantina rat)***+
24. Rebel Fleet Trooper

*** Would almost definitely be a brand new figure! (6 / 24)
+ = never made before for the modern line! (3 of the 24, counts in the 6 new figures)

[Tycho]

And looking at this list, OT collectors who just get new figures will only have 13 figures from 42 to buy (from ANH / ESB combined)....

or for those who just get new CHARACTERS, they'll just have 7 out of 42 to purchase.

The 42 figures I suggested will save Hasbro tooling costs (29 / 42 anyway) but catch the first two OT movies up with ROTJ. Then they can go forward from there, I'd hope.

[Tycho]

There could be 5 more figures from TPM offered:

1. Ratts Tyrell
2. Kitster
3. Wald
4. Boss Nass
5. Sabe (as Queen in black travel, softgoods to sit in Royal Starship)

All of these but Nass would be brand new figures. Nass and Sabe are kind of necessary characters from TPM to repeat and neither has been available since 2001-02. I'd love Kitster and Wald to be a 2-pack. If I could squeeze 1 more figure in here, I'd probably choose another repeat - Galactic Senate Security, (carded for TPM instead of AOTC). Senator Palpatine might be a good choice as well.



And 2 from AOTC:

1. Dexter Jettster vintage carded is probably necessary.
2. Captain Typho (duty uniform) vintage carded would also be good.

I'd love to go with Elan Sleezebaggano returning here if it need be a repack. Or Dorme would make an excellent never-made before figure, but tough sale. Corde would also fill in a scene. Carding Owen and Beru from AOTC would also be a simple solution. I do have never-made-before Separatists on my regular list, however (Rogwa Wodrata, Tiikes). It depends what Hasbro thinks would sell I'm sure.


This will catch all the prequels up to ROTS for vintage carding. Then Hasbro has a lot they could go further with here.

I myself am only interested in never-made-before characters, as I'll only be buying to OPEN, but the cards are beautiful!

[Slicker]

If they start doing EVERY damn clone variation then the Vintage line will get even more bastardized than it already is. This is a unique line that has really added some nostalgia to the franchise but putting every different color of clone on it will effectively kill it in my eyes.

I agree. In fact, I think there is way too much focus on the Prequels for the Vintage Collection as it is.

Aside from the blatant profanity, this statement almost completely puts my own opinion on a blister card and hung on a peg in a store's toy department. But, I am a non-recovering list (LISTS... :drool: ) maker, so...
