Star Wars action figures thread.

[Nr1Humanoid]

Now that my original question have been answered, I have changed this into a discussion on Star Wars action figures in general. Enjoy.

3rd one is a Tusken Raider. Here's a link that lists the different Raiders figures:

Picture won't load for me.

Most of these are Bendies, not action figures. The one you can't identify is the only actual figure; that's Chewbacca from the "The Star Wars" concept art line.



I'm not sure you're going to get anywhere near $25 for them.

Thanks guys, you have been a great help.

Same here. I don't even see that there is a picture that I am missing.

And now that this thread's purpose seems to have run its course... any other Star Wars collector nerds want to talk about Star Wars figures? Because I do.

I miss all the wild, random EU figures that were coming out in the late-2000’s. Another thing Disney has f***ing ruined about Star Wars.

I mean, how much do you really miss? Zahn and Stackpole created engaging stories and Allston just wrote incredibly fun stuff, but beyond that a lot of it was either interesting concepts that were poorly executed or stuff that was uninspiring even if well written.

Admittedly, the various comics lines did generate some interesting stuff as well, but the media involved meant that it did not always have the proper weight to the stories.

There were a lot of cool ones coming out like Exar Kun, Ulic Qel-Droma, Darths Bane, Nihlius, Revan and Malak, Kyle Katarn, etc. Who knows where else they’d have released. I’d have loved a Darth Traya.

Damn it Disney, I wanted figures for Waru & Hethrir, because I only want Star Wars figures for the best* EU characters!

*may not be the best

I would love a toy model of the Pulsar Skate (the flatter and generally more accepted version, not the one from the comics). The Ghost needs a partner on my bookshelf (the Rebels-style Tie Fighter isn't enough).

[Joe Neglia]

Had a massive amount of Star Wars figures as a kid (and coincidentally enough, just sold my childhood Ewok Village on ebay a couple of weeks ago).

One thing I will give Kenner/Hasbro props for is that for the "main" line - in all of its permutations - has stayed fairly consistent in scale with one another, even if sculpting has improved over the years.

The line will never be complete without Cindel and Noa. Battle For Endor, represent!

You're talking about the comics and books. He's talking about the figures.

Out of nostalgia for a 1999 SW magazine that had pics of them I was looking up the Uzay Blue Stars figures again and WOW at the $3000 pricetag.

[Limity (BLM)]

Thinking back, I was always more interested in the ships than the figures.

[Cyno]

I cared more about the ship toys than the action figures. I had a few figures of course, but I preferred collecting the MicroMachines and Action Fleet lines, especially when they started dipping into EU ships and vehicles. Prize of my collection (though it's not as valuable as it could be since it's out of box and played with quite a bit) is my Action Fleet TIE Defender.

Out of the Star Wars action figures I do have, I'm quite fond of my Darth Revan figure from The Black Series.

True, but I rarely wanted toys of characters I had no connection to. Corran Horn, Mara Jade, Talon Karrde, or members of Wraith Squadron? Yeah, I’d like figures of them. I was into those characters. Their stories got my attention and made me interested in them. There are hundreds of others of EU characters that I cannot say the same for.

[Cyno]

FWIW, Hasbro still makes a lot of Legends figures. I still see them in toy departments in stores around here and my Darth Revan Black Series figure was made in 2016.

It's also worth noting that with the old EU figures, a lot of time they were made when, for better or worse, nothing new was coming out in Star Wars. With the new movies and shows, there's a lot of new canon material to make figures and toys out of.

Well, you can get some of those in the 6-inch Black Series line, but it's hard to get good EU stuff if you're following the 5 POA or TVC stuff.
