    What Star Wars figures do you wish Kenner had made?

    All the retro Kenner style figures coming out got me wishing SW had been among them.

    What would be your top 10 figures that you wish Kenner would have done back in the original line. Obviously no Expanded Universe, Special Editions, comics or prequels. Only figures Kenner could have done from original trilogy plus the Droids and Ewoks cartoons.

    Sandtrooper (Yes, they been done to death in the modern era but I'd still like a Kenner one to ride my Dewback)
    Rebel Trooper
    Han Solo Stormtrooper
    Grand Moff Tarkin
    Luke Skywalker Dagobah Jedi Training
    Return of the Jedi Chewbacca
    Princess Leia Ewok gown
    Darth Vader removable helmet
    Lando Calrissian Millennium Falcon pilot
    Princess Kneesaa
    You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

      Yes, It was called Smuggler Outfit in the modern line.

        Believe it or not, I felt cheated that they never made a Grand Moff Tarkin.

          Always wanted a vintage uncle Owen and aunt Beru with the blue milk accessories. Maybe even a skeleton version of them too.

                Yup, Slave Leia would've complimented the Jabba set well.

                My list

                From Star Wars:
                Rebel Trooper
                Grand Moff Tarkin
                Ceremony Luke Skywalker
                Cantina Band Alien

                From Holiday Special
                Ackmena
                Chewbacca's Family
                Trader Sauna Dann (Art Carney) - I actually think his costume design was very Star Warsy!

                From Return of the Jedi
                Slave Leia
                Gargan (since they made the prototype)

                Funny, I can't think of any glaring omissions from Empire

                  Leia with removable bikini.
                  Wait, did I say that out loud?

                  Definitely a Sandtrooper, as a kid I made my own.
                  Tarkin, of course.
                  All the cool Cantina aliens.

                    Really, another wave of Cantina Aliens would've been great. The Cantina Playset is such a staple of everyone's collection, it would've been fun to populate it with more of those whacky guys.

                      I never understood why they never went back to the Cantina, kids would have loved more aliens.
                      As a kid I never thought, "Wow, finally an Endor Leia with poncho!"
                      Or an Anakin Skywalker or Imperial Dignitary.

                      I wanted cool aliens and guys with blasters!

                          I'm with you guys on most of these!

                          Especially:
                          Slave Leia
                          Sand Trooper
                          Cantina Band
                          Grand Moff

                          I would have liked to see the dude in the cantina that got his arm lopped off, the interrogation droid with the syringe, etc

                            I would have loved Tarkin and a few more Cantina peeps.

                              I did! I've always really liked that figure. Can't have a Speeder Bike chase or meet Wicket without that figure.

                              I agree with everyone on more Cantina characters. I know he would have peg warmed something fierce back then but I always wanted the Cantina bartender Wuher for the Cantina playset.
