I was looking through www.rebelscum.com for info on the current Legacy Waves and saw this:
Wave 6: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
BD ###: Captain Needa
BD ###: Emperor Palpatine (new head)
BD ###: Luke Skywalker (Medical Frigate)
BD ###: Princess Leia (Medical Frigate)
BD ###: Rebel Hoth Soldier
BD ###: Ugnaught
BAD: HK-47
For me the one I am most interested in is Captain Needa as I really like collecting Imperial Officers from the Saga.
This led me to wonder then,what other characters do you guys and girls look forward/hope to see made into 3&3/4 figure form?

Uh oh....
Looks like an epic fail of a thread I have made here.....

No, Rebado, it's a good thread. I've just been stumped on what to write. I'm kinda surprised that the forums in general have been pretty quite. I thought after Christmas there would have been all kinds of hustle and bustle.....

How about some build a driods OTHER then the R2 units or the protocal style droids?
At least it's a start... lol

Hmm...BADs that aren't protocol and astromechs? Interesting...how about some battle droid personalities that actually have respectable articulation? BTW, anyone else notice how some figs have a sort of oily/sticky residue on them? What is that stuff? Is it some sort of releasing compound residue from the molds or is it some sort of dreaded plastic deterioration?

i dont know what it is, but the new plastic they are using seems to warp in the packaging.

Warping, yes, very bad. Anyone else have battle droids that look like they have some crippling leg disfigurment? Also, lightsabers tend to get bent. The worst thing I've had so far is on the Obi-wan 212th battle pack (CW series). One of the clones had the fin of his helmet bent during packaging and now it's stuck like that. I've tried bending it back into place but it seems to have stuck. I'm considering heating it to warp it back into place but I think that'll cause more issues. Probably just resort to using a small binder clip to straighten it out and leave it that way for a couple days. I think I'll start a new topic on this sort of thing.

Maybe Hasbro should stop with the over elaborate packing and oh, I don't know..... card them vintage style! Less bull Sh*t trying to open them, and they will be way less prone to warping or damage!

LOL DM!!!!
How about an updated Hasbro version of Uncle Owen? The one that came in the Lar's homestead is just a remake of the Kenner POTF 2 figure from the purchase of the droids set.

How about the Cantina "Snitch" that was outside when our heroes were leaving talking to the Stormtrooper??
How about some deleted scene characters, Lukes Pals at Tosche Station?
How bout a Scale T-16 Skyhopper, it was actually in Lukes Garage in the background and we always heard about how good luke was at hitting womp rats in it?
How bout the Black Metalic Death Star Droid we saw in cut away shot in Star Wars of one of the Corridors on the Death Star?
We need a More Believable AMANAMAN, the one from the 90s in the pack was just SO out of scale, he look like he hadnt had descent human meal in ages. Even his height was in NO COMPARISON to even the Vintage one.

I would like to see Deliah Blue http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deliah_Blue
and Jariah Syn http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jariah_Syn
Also Jaina and Jacen Solo
I guess I am more into the EU these days. I feel the movies are a bit played out and I really wish they would take a new direction and make a few EU films. Maybe not about Luke and Co. but about Knights of the Old Republic era and stuff like that.
A few more Sith Lords of old would be good too. I really like this guy! Marca Ragnos looks wickid! http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Marka_Ragnos
Maybe they should start making novel packs like the comic packs. Or just do a straight run of characters from the EU novels.

Deliah Blue, yes, Legacy is a pretty cool comic and I think there's a lot of potential there for some awesome figs.

Good news. Looks like Hasbro may be making a deliah blue figure. This is nothing official but check it out. If any of you have the new insider then you have probably read the 6 page hasbro article on how figures make it from concept to store. Well at least one of the concept drawings are of Deliah Blue.
There is a Darth Maul with Robot legs already cast (from the comic "Old Wounds").
And a Kyle Katarn with paint. If you get a chance pick up the new insider and take a magnifying glass to every square milimeter to make sure hasbros not letting something slip.

The Imperial Sentinels from Dark Empire will be interesting:),Guri,Kam Solusar,Dash Rendar and Sedriss.

I can't wait for the new ones from the toy fair come out. The one character I've been waiting for a long time is finally coming out and that is Corran Horn.

I agree, a new version of Dash Rendar would be really neat!
