What are your essential 1/6 Star Wars figures?

[Angelo2113]

Anakin Skywalker (Dark Side) and Darth Vader (Empire Strikes Back 40th Anniversary Edition)

 

[Gipetto0812]

Essentials for me are basically what I have (and a few I don't yet)

Have:
HT ANH Han (with Jnix headsculpt) and Chewie
SS ROTJ Luke and Vader
SS TPM Darth Maul
HT ROTS Obi-wan

Want/Need:
OT R2D2 and C3PO
OT Stormtrooper
ROTS Anakin
AOTC Padme
Maybe a Mondo of some sort
Maybe Sideshow CW Obi-wan and Anakin

That would set me on SW figures I think. I'll just ooo and ahhh over pics of any others lol

 

[Obi Fun Kenobi]

Originally I was only going to collect ANH related figures. Now I collect almost everything. It makes me sad even thinking about giving one up. I have a hard enough time passing a few over for budgetary reasons!

For most people the core of SW is:
>Luke (ANH, Bespin, ROTJ)
>Han
>Chewie
>Leia
>Ben Kenobi
>Vader
>Boba Fett
>Emperor
>Yoda
>C-3PO + R2-D2

I'd go with this as my core list as well... I'd include Tarkin.


Of course like all of you, I've expanded well beyond that. But if I could, I'd cut it down to just the above...

That's a good list. If I had to be really picky, it would be:
Luke ROTJ
Vader ESB
Leia ROTJ
Han ANH
Chewie ANH
R2-D2 (I have the TFA one)
C-3PO (any OT)

Next tier:
Lando ESB
Emperor ROTJ
Boba Fett ESB
Stormtrooper (any OT)
Scout Trooper and Bike ROTJ
Ben Kenobi ANH
Yoda ES
Jabba the Hurt ROTJ

Want, but don't really need tier:
All the Lukes (ANH, ESB Bespin & Pilot, Mando)
Tusken Raider
Jawa
Anakin ROTS
Obi-Wan ROTS
General Grevious ROTS (even though I dislike the movie)

 

[Wor-Gar]

General Grievous wasn't in AOTC... thankfully.

I like your tiers. I think I'm somewhere down on Tier 7 or 8 myself by now. Maybe 10.

Ah, oops, Grevious is in ROTS - corrected.
Haha, so what do you call tier 10?

Kenner answered this question back in 1977. The answer is always the “grail 12”.

Stupid Death Squad Commander. Get on it Hot Toys.

Nice!^ the hypothetical 1:6 essential 12 set should include a scaled-up 1:6 version of the collectors-stand .

Although the og 12 were fine for when just a New Hope existed, it would need some updates and figures swapped out, for an absolute franchise "grail 12" (for me).

I would personally swap out Jawa, Tusken and yeah DS Commander, for:
- Yoda, Lando and Fett.
That would be more inclusive of the whole OT, and definitive 12 (for me).
(sneak in the Emperor for an unlucky .13

1 Luke
2.Leia
3. Han
4.Chewie
5. R2
6. 3PO
7. Obi-Wan
8. Yoda
9. Vader
10. Storm Trooper(s)
11. Lando
12. Fett

13. Emperor

I think I could live with those and feel the franchise was well reped.
And before continuing Prequels, Sequels or TV, II would keep OT variants, Bounty Hunters and Troopers)

If representing the PT is a must -

14. Dark Anakin
15. Padme
16. (maybe young Obi-Wan (or Qui-Gon)
17. Maul

There is no one from the sequels I would personally count as essential.
The only one I would add to ironically rep how awful it was, is maybe DJ. posed walking off with an imperial crate filled with shredded debris of the franchise
0. DJ

Expanding to TV Live & Cartoon, D+ FavRoni-verse I would add

18. Jedi Luke (doubles for another OT version)
19. Mando & (Grogu he's an accessory right?)
20. Ahsoka maybe .

I need Farmboy Luke when they actually make one with an acceptable head sculpt.

You own the original? It's subpar but still a rather nice figure.

Nope, glad I didn't buy it after seeing that production sculpt. Probably up there as one of the worst sculpts HT have produced.
