ALL STARS
Old-school figgahead and once upon a time my figure-hunting companion, I asked Jase for his Top 5 Star Wars figures of all-time
1. Boba Fett - So much mystery around him which made his figure even more interesting.
2. Bespin Han Solo - Great figure and attitude to match, just like in ESB! Classic dark blue and brown pants are a great color combination with the yellow stripe.
3. 2-1B - Always loved the colors and the clear body to this figure and plus he fixed Luke Skywalker.
4. Biker Scout - These guys were a favorite part of ROTJ. The speeder bike scenes were super exciting after seeing them for the very first time.
5. Darth Maul - Such a great character that was killed off way too soon in the prequels. Good thing they brought him back. The detail of his tattoos and his various builds are out of this world.
LUIS' LIST
As a companion to Jase’s list, I had to create a list of my own.
1. OG Darth Vader - The figure that started it all for me. Telescoping lightsaber, plastic cape… From these humble beginnings an empire was born.
2. Sideshow Toys Darth Maul - In the early days of these figures, they were pretty affordable. This 12-inch figure was unreal.
3. Black Series Boba Fett - I have lots of different versions of this Mandalorian bounty hunter. This early Black Series figure is the most perfect of them.
4. Lego TIE Silencer - Kylo Ren’s ship from The Last Jedi is perfectly recreated in this Lego build. Great, great set.
5. Boush Leia - One of my favorite figures from my youth, this bounty hunterdisguised Leia with removable helmet (I loooovvvveeee removable helmets) was hands down my favorite ROTJ Kenner figure.
BOX ART
Here’s a collection of Luis’ modern collectable favorites
1. Yoda’s Hutt - I’ve wanted this set for about 20 years. Originally available packaged with an x-wing back, it was my most sought after new Lego.
2. Sideshow Toys Darth Maul - See the sidebar on Page 6.
3. Doctor Aphra - An amazing original comic creation by Keiron Gillen.
4. Brick Headz Vader - This adorable Vader is the best of the line.
5. Black Series Kylo Ren - Available at SDCC 16, this figure was the first unmasked Black Series Kylo.
6. Range Trooper - My favorite Star Wars figure of 2018. Perfect sculpt.
7-8. Boba Fett - I have tons of Fett figures. These are two of my most recent favorites. Both are Disney store exclusives.
