Essential Characters Poll - What if we started all over again?

[Mad Slanted Powers]

It's getting to the point where I don't think 12 figures is sufficient to adequately represent any of these movies. I don't know if it's going to be possible to boil ROTJ down to only 12 figures (obviously Kenner didn't think so either, which is why they released 17 in the initial ROTJ wave). Are we planning on voting for "wave 2" after this, were we can each choose the second set of 12 figures for each film?

After we finish with the top 12 from each movie, we will do 12 from each trilogy, followed by four more rounds in which you can choose from any of the six movies.

So, the 12 from each trilogy are in addition to the 12 from each movie? Or are we going to be forced to make even more painful cuts?

If you do 12 total from the OT, then 11 of those are pretty much a lock (Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, 3PO, R2, Vader, Stormtrooper, Lando, Yoda, Ben) with only one slot up for grabs (and that would probably just go to the Emperor or another version of Luke).

No, we are creating a list of 144 figures.

12 from each movie = 72.
12 from each trilogy =24.
4 more rounds of 12 = 48.

72+24+48=144

I notice I'm not the only one to essentially use AOTC to fill in the Jedi Masters from TPM.

[Tycho]

Anakin padawan
Padme Arena
Obi-Wan E2
Mace
Clone
Jango
Dooku
Super Battle Droid
Destroyer Droid
Geonosian
Chancellor Palpatine in blue
Captain Typho duty uniform ( So we have one Naboo trooper.)

This is a good list for figures for the kids to play with

[Snowtrooper]

1. Anakin-Padawan
2. Obi-Wan
3. Padme-Arena
4. Count Dooku
5. Jango Fett
6. Clone Trooper
7. Super Battle Droid
8. Geonosian
9. Captain Typho
10. Mace Windu
11. Ki-Adi Mundi
12. Plo Koon

Destroyer Droid

This made the list for TPM, so unless you think there is a different version that should be made, you can give this slot to another figure.

Also, a few have voted for Yoda. He will make the ESB list. If you think that one Yoda could suffice for both OT and PT, then you could put a different figure in his place.

5. Hoth

i'm going to count this as Hoth Leia, since it seems to be the only main Hoth character you didn't vote for, and there was no other Leia on your list.

I would want separate OT and PT Yodas - this is very different to this ...and it's not just the accessories and tattered robe - OT Yoda looks older, wearier, and more wizened. As far as I'm concerned, he's just as distinct as the different looks of Obi-Wan, and we all seem to be voting for individual figures of him from each film, rather than just one with alternative heads. Plus, we finally got to see Yoda in action in AOTC, in his dual with Dooku - possibly the best scene in the whole film!

Yeah, thats what I meant.

[Tycho]

I'll change my vote for the already-listed Destroyer Droid (a winner from TPM) to Nute Gunray from AOTC.

The overall "commander" of the Droid Army kind of needs to be in the mix and he didn't win from my necessary figures in TPM.

So 11 of my 12 AOTC votes haven't changed.
