Star Wars Black Series

[Schizm]

Ep 1 -
Theed Throne Amidala
Shmi
Captain Panaka

(Boss Nass, Captain Tarpals and Gungan Warriors would be awesome, but I'm guessing the deco on the Gungans isn't worth it since Hasbro has only revisited Jar Jar once and he did not sell well despite being an excellent figure [could have used an alt headsculpt])

Ep 2 -
Rainbow Dress Padme
Young Boba
Bultar Swan

(but really every Padme look tops those last two)

Ep 3 -
Mustafar Padme - come on, Hasbro, finish the main trio!!
Thunderous Applause Padme
BAIL

Ep 4 -
Garindan
Wuher
???

(also an updated Obi-Wan & Threepio)

Ep 5 -
Bespin Gown Leia
LOBOT
Medical Frigate Leia to truly complete the Leia looks

Ep 6 -
Oola
Malakili
Mon Mothma

(also more Ewoks that aren't pink and a re-release of the Removable Helmet Vader!)

Am I just imagining it or was the Airborne trooper announced already? I know the Ali Express guy has them (I Have two), but I thought we got a pipeline name drop or something?

You found me out, and @DarthDre758 too maybe... I don't actually want any prequel figures so i filled my choices with figures i would want if i was still collecting PT figures or ones i thought they should make, and a few i thought others would want, but i also haven't been paying a lot of attention to who has been done lately. I'm a fraud.

If i did lists like this my ROTS would just be three Galactic Marines.

 

[Ru1977]

Heh,yes that one was for you. And I'm not collecting clones anymore but thr airborne guy will still be hard to pass up because i love the design and had wanted it for so long. I have the purge trooper but all black really loses the details to me. Kinda hoping they do an all white version so i can slip him in with my pre-OT troopers like the Solo guys.

Fun idea, Camel! For me, it would be-

PHANTOM MENACE
- Throne Room Amidala
- Panaka
- Boss Nass
As a close follow-up, Shmi and some more Podracers

ATTACK OF THE CLONES
- Zam Wesell
- Young Boba
- Wat Tambor (but at this point, any of the Seperatists, really, but I do love that kooky techno DJ)

REVENGE OF THE SITH
- Saesee Tiin/Agen Kolar (cheating, but I just want them to finish that office duel at this point)
- Bail Organa
- Mas Amedda
A lot of cool designs from this one- a Mustafarian lava miner would be cool to go along with the DOTF set, Tion Medon, more Seperatists, Galactic Marine, etc.

A NEW HOPE
- Biggs
- Death Star Gunner
- Owen & Beru (again, another package deal, but I think that's the only way they'd really sell)

EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
- Lobot
- Ugnaught
- Cloud City Leia

RETURN OF THE JEDI
- Nien Nunb
- Oola
- Max Rebo Band
But I'd also gladly take any Weequay or Quarren soldier. Would love the Rancor Keeper, but without a Rancor, he'd feel weird. Those weird skinny pale dudes that are with the Emperor would be cool too.

 

[Ru1977]

I just spent a little while examining Sandtroopers, which I haven't done in a while. What happens is I look at shots from the scenes, probably the scenes themselves, make an excel sheet breaking down scene by scene which trooper is wearing what color pauldron, which backpack, carries which weapon, and whether they have the small, medium, alternate medium, large, or medium with the small pouch on their shoulder and hips, or no pouch, no pauldron, no pack at all. There's not much consistency from scene to scene, which make it feel like there's way more than 6-7* guys wandering around Tattooine. This isn't even counting the SE guys they stuck in the desert scene who are all wearing an all new backpack, black pauldrons, and the weird ROTJ helmets.

But what I always come down to is how they had a half dozen guys with a half dozen suits and when shooting was done, they took off the suits and put them in a big pile, then grabbed whatever the next day. And what makes me always give up on trying to map it is how helmets switch between a couple guys in the roadblock scene, probably because they shot one angle, had lunch, then shot the other angle, and the guys switched gear in the middle of the day. So even in one scene, they aren't consistent. Yes, the seven guys who meet Garindan switch their gear up some before Han shoots at them. And none of this matters at all, so when I get three more Sandtroopers, I can just do whatever and it's gonna be completely accurate.



*I did not do this on purpose, and really hate that I had to. But the truth is most scenes have six guys and two scenes have seven. There's two guys in the Cantina and four checking for unlocked doors.

Also, Target moved the ship date for the episode 1 Din to March.

[Schizm]

They still can't sell the excellent Ghost Obi-Wan in the Force Spirits three-pack! They must have really overproduced that one, or underestimated how much a pack-in Sebastian Shaw head would have helped sales since they made sure to include it in the TVC version.

Padme Tatooine and Ben Quadinaros are joining my list, as are any of her handmaiden's in the orange.

Now I'm going really big because I still want a Senate platform playset. Each figure comes with a quarter of the donut - Bail, a Padme, then slip in Mas Amedda and the bald lady. Then when they re-release the whole thing, it can come with Mon Mothma and a pack-in Benjamin Bratt head.

I also want a Medic Droid with 10cc of Will to Live. Ineffective droid, funny joke.

 

[altcunningham]

I don't think I knew there was a ghost set?!

 

[Revox]

Oooh, I'll play.

TPM: Goth Amidala, Darth Sideous, Boss Nass

AtoC: Zam Wessel, Sex Dungeon Mistress Padme, Jocasta Nu

RotS: ..um, Wat Tambor? Can't really think of anyone I don't already have

ANH: Biggs (Tatooine), Colonel Yularen, Admiral Tagge to add to my collection of random English character actors

ESB: As as TBS goes I'm good but would snap up SHF versions of Bespin Luke, Han and Hoth Leia in an instant

RotJ: I'm good, not fussed

TFA: Finn! Poe! Leia!

TLJ: Other than an Ade Edmondson for the absurdity of it, I'm happy with what I've got

RotS: To forget it ever happ- er, Palpatine. With the throne and a lightning effect the size of a Christmas tree. Lando. Richard E Grant's sneery bastard officer.

 

[Red Ogre]

Great idea @Super Camel. This deserves it's own thread.
I started out trying to put at least one non-male in each list. Pretty easy for 1-3. What a reminder that 4-6 were a total sausagefest!

Nute Gunray
Depa Billaba

EpII
Poggle the Lesser
Zam Wesell
Even Piell

EpIII
Agen Kolar
General Tarfful
Bultar Swan

Ep IV
Garindan
Djas Puhr
Uncle Owen & Aunt Beru

EpVI
Moff Jerjerrod
Tessek
Oola

 

[altcunningham]

Yesss another one for IG.
