2011 Rebelscum Wishlist Poll - ROTJ Finals

[pohatu771]

6 to Ewoks, Palpatine, his guard, Bib Fortuna, Leia, Lando
5 to Palace and Skiff guards

Lower scores to background aliens I've never seen on screen and pilots.

Personally, if there isn't a still from the movie good enough to use for the card, I don't want the figure, with a few exceptions.

[Jedi_Eeth_Koth]

Not alot that interests me - Leia, Palpatine, Nien, and Jabba's Droid.

WHOA...I work with a woman who looks just like Geezum. Tragic.

Anyway, I don't think EV-9D9, Bib Fortuna, The Emperor, Sy Snootles, Teebo, Tessek, and the Emp. Royal Guard really need updating...I'm content with the previous versions. I gave them all 2s...a slim chance I'd buy them again.

I made pretty cool Yoxgit and Geezum customs a few years back that I'm happy with, so I'll pass...they get a 1, along with "A-Wing Pilot with an X-Wing Helmet" or whatever. Don't need him.

Barada and Ree-Yees get 3s...I'm kinda ok with their previous versions, too.

All the rest are 6s. I really like the POTF2 Nein Numb but he could really use an articulation update. And I'd like a new YAK FACE...not "Salt Marie" or whatever. The POTF2 one was decent, but he could use an upgrade. Put him on a Vintage style POTF card, maybe even mint a new coin for him and that would look awesome. I know they're not doing any POTF cards or coins, but it would be cool, maybe as a mail away or exclusive. Sim Aloo (Imperial Dignitary) is also a must.

ROTJ and SW seem to be the only 2 films that still have a good number of figures to be made. Wonder how many more years we'll be doing these polls?

I see ROTJ going on for a while, there are just so many characters to do. ANH might end sooner, because we are at the tail end of Cantina Aliens and I am not sure how many Cantina humans are cool enough to be made.

Lots of sixes! I'd buy pretty much anything if it got made (and I can find it) really, but my priorities are:

- the Emperor. It's amazing that we still do not have a definitive Return of Jedi Emperor. He's the main Star Wars villain and the best version available from PotF. Ditch the oversized robes, ugly hoods, prequel and SE influences and just make him as he appeared in RotJ. He should have his cane and Force lighting, and it would be awesome if two heads were included with different expressions (and extra hands). It would be awesomer if his throne was included (no PotF re-use, it should be bigger and the shape was wrong). If all this wouldn't fit in a card make it a Throne room battlepack. Include a Vader and Jedi Luke with flap down if you must.

- Royal Guard. The Emperor needs to be flanked by his guard. This is an urgently needed figure that should be an easy repaint with a new head (the last release had swivel elbows and didn't even include the only accessory they should have: a force pike).

Sim Aloo: I don't even care it's a vintage gap, this is the coolest looking dignitary and would look awesome advising the Emperor. Make his hat really big and his face really ugly, this was a problem with the previous dignitaries, their hats look like they shrunk in the wash and their faces were bland and average looking.

- All alien Skiff Guards: No question, any of these guys they make is a definite buy. Vintage Nikto and Vizam are probably the ones I want to see first, they are cool looking and their species is due after a Klaatu, Weequay, and the upcoming Kithaba.

- Ewok Leia: long overdue for an update, even if the outfit never made much sense to me.

- Sy Snootles (not SE and preferably with the rest of the band (blue elephant and Droopy only (was he meant to resemble his canine namesake?))), Yak-Face and Ree Yees. These three are also long overdue. I would love to see a new Bib Fortuna and Shasa Tiel, but the current Bib isn't awful and Shasa Tiel is kinda boring looking and less iconic.

[Cane_Adiss]

Straight ones except for Cane Adiss, interesting set of votes.....

I swear it wasn't me! I gave almost all of these 6's except for the ewoks and the pilots!

[CaptainC]

Thats a really great list. For ROTJ being the weakier of the 3 OT movies it did have alot of great characters. Glad to see the love for Jabba's henchmen. They would look great setup with Jabba's throne that came out earlier this year.

[Darth_Brett]

Best SW poll...ever! Almost all 5's & 6's across the board. Exceptions were the A-Wing Pilot who got a 2 & the R5 Astromech who got a 3. If this entire list were done by Hasbro I can only think of 10 or 12 more candidates I'd still want done. But it could take Hasbro 5 or 6 years to get all of these out.

And yes, even though ROTJ is my least favorite OT movie, it also has the best action figure potential out of all 3 movies for me.

[Since1978]

Okay so the three characters scoring over 5.00 didn't last, but they're all still "up there." Clearly there is NO interest in ROTJ subjects. The category opens with a meager 4.38 average, and 14 subjects scoring over a 4.5! In fact, outside of the mismatch pilot (remember, they were generic votes, I had to apply them somewhere), everything was over 3.5, and only four were under 4.00!

Here are your opening scores:

Lumat & Ewok Pipe Smoker 4.88
Vintage Nikto 4.83
Teebo & Ewok w/ E-11 4.81
Widdle & Oochee (Wunka) AT-ST Hijackers 4.79
Vedain 4.73
Sim Aloo 4.70
Weequay - Sail Barge 4.67
Royal Guard 4.60
Nien Nunb 4.59
Vizam (Sail Barge Nikto) 4.57
Ree Yees 4.55
Emperor Palpatine 4.54
Klaatu - Guard Skiff (Gray Outfit) 4.53
Sgt. Doallyn 4.52
Yotts Orren (Klaatu Skiff Guard) 4.45
Saelt-Marae (Yak Face) 4.43
Barada 4.43
Taym Dren Garen 4.42
Fozec 4.33
Velken Terezi / Nizuc Bek 4.32
Lando Calrissian - Skiff Guard 4.30
EV 9D9 4.30
Sy Snootles 4.28
Bib Fortuna 4.28
Shasa Tiel (Jabba's Palace Ishi Tib) 4.28
Tessek 4.20
Princess Leia - Ewok Village 4.17
Y-Wing/Gray Squadron Pilot 4.02
R5-D2 - Rebel Briefing (Gray and Maroon) 4.00
Cane Adiss 3.92
Geezum 3.90
Yoxgit 3.85
A-Wing pilot w/X-Wing Helmet 3.22

These are Not the figures we are looking for Hasbro...

Wink, wink...

[Commando_Scorch]

This was by far the most difficult category for me to vote in. There are a lot of finalists that I think are very interesting and figure-worthy, but at the same time I'm not exactly clamoring for, so over 75% of my votes were either 3's or 4's with the only 6's going to Palpatine and Doallyn.

[Darth_Brett]

Hasbro should just release a wave or two dedicated to only ROTJ in the Vintage Collection next year. It has the highest amount of most wanted figures by far and yet is still so clearly under-represented.
