I’d honestly buy all of those.

Same.

Glad were getting some PT Jedi because my HT collection is becoming very clone centric.

My HT collection is SW centric overall, trying to get the mains and any other characters I love, but I’ll be going all out with Prequels clones and Jedi.

Really hoping they end up making as many ROTS clones as possible.

I mean, TCW is where the Clones actually became characters. Rather than just background characters.

I have to agree with this. I'd include many of the jedi in this as well. Plo Koon in the prequels? meh. Well developed in The Clone Wars.

On this we can agree on! I would definitely like to see more ROTS clones, particularly the commanders, as possible.

For me, their designs have always spoke for themselves. Perhaps it was enough for me as a kid with a wild imagination. Hasbro has always made figures/toys of background characters as well and people, err, sorry, Star Wars fans eat them up. I’m like that for the Prequels, especially with clones and Jedi.

I don’t mind TCW. I rewatch my favorite arcs every 2-3 years or so (find myself rewatching the Siege of Mandalore arc yearly), but I personally would rather have a live-action based figure. It also happens to be that ROTS is my favorite film of all time, so naturally, I’d just prefer the figures from that.

I will say I couldn’t care less for most original clone characters introduced in TCW. Rex is of course (my overall favorite behind Cody), and if Hot Toys had translated him correctly, I’d have been all over it. I remember being real excited when he came out only to quickly realize they botched it. Ever since, I’ve admittedly been salty and annoyed with each TCW based clone release since they continually f*ck them up.

You’re into all the clones, which is cool, and I think I’m entitled to my own opinion and preference where I’m not. But yeah, would love ROTS CCs. So far, we have three if we’d like to include the CG as Thire and the reg 501st as Appo as seen in ROTS.

See, I took my kid to see Phantom Menace when he was five, so you can figure how old I am...so the prequels aren't as nostalgic for me as the OT but definitely agree that many of the character designs are really visually stunning. I remember collecting the Hasbro 3 3/4 inch Jedi Council set that formed the circular floor and council chairs. That was one of my favorites for a long time...

I gravitated towards the PT, but I did watch the OT as much as the PT when I was introduced to the Saga at a young age. Started with Episode IV (glad we did) and the rest was history..

I recall seeing pictures of that set!
