What is your favorite Kenner Star Wars figure?

[TrekStar]

Tuskin Raider aka the Sand People, always had a fascination with them, also the Tie Fighter Pilot.

[EmergencyIan]

It’s a difficult choice. Off hand, I’d say it’s the original Han Solo figure (small head).

[CrimsonGhost]

My favorites were Bespin Luke, Hammerhead, Biker Scout, and Bossk.

[Random Axe]

Lots of great options but I have to go with a tie between At-At Driver and Bossk. Those two really stand out for me design and color-wise.

[Goblin19]

Almost impossible, but she nice I’m a meat and potatoes guy, I guess it would be original Luke and Darth Vader. I think they got the most action out of me as s kid. R2D2 is hard to leave off, though.

[Mego-Amigo]

Greedo. I love that whole second wave with the colorful cantina guys.

[Mr.Marion]

Greedo. I love that whole second wave with the colorful cantina guys.

Agreed by that point Kenner wasn't a slave to the style guide.

At-At driver, biker scout, hammerhead, and han bespin (because i had a blue jacket like that in kindergarten when the figure came out)

[Earth 2 Chris]

Bespin Luke, followed by Vader. I co-opted Luke into my GI Joe play later, too.

Greedo. I love that whole second wave with the colorful cantina guys.

That 2nd wave was amazing.
It wasn't just the cantina guys that were colorful.
There was also Luke x-wing pilot, and R5-D4 had those bright orange markings.

I loved the Tusken Raider, but mine, and everyone I knew, the head snapped off, and was just glued back on.
So it didn't really get played with.

I'd have to say Chewie and Jawa.
For some reason, I always teemed them up together.

Followed by the Snowtrooper. Which I thought was a bit more bad-assed than the normal Stormtrooper.

[Brown Bear]

I’d really enjoy seeing this as a vote that tracks the numbers

[Iron Mego]

Yoda. Or Jawas. Or Greedo.

Yeah, a chaotic list, impossible to choose.

And I loved the Ewok Village and Ewok figures better than the characters and place in the movie!

The Cantina Aliens are so incredibly unique, even for Vintage Kenner.

I mean, they went so far off the rails with the colors and liberties taken with those characters in such a weird, wonderful way. They never returned to that garish color style, and I'm sort of sad for it.

None of the Empire or Jedi aliens were as crazy as Orange and Blue Walrus Man or bright green Greedo. I love fan customs of Cantina Aliens we never got, but all too often, they go for Hasbro color schemes instead of the lurid Kenner colors.
