The first part of the 2009 Hasbro Fans' Choice Poll
has concluded in our forums! We've taken the results from the Rebelscum 2009 Hasbro Wishlist Poll and streamlined them into a solid list of 30 candidates from across the entire (well, almost) Star Wars saga that we'd love to see made into action figures.
Here is the Rebelscum.com Top 30 list, ranked in order of preference:
- Darth Plagueis - Ultimate Guide to the Force
- Concept Sith Witch - Concept for TPM
- Sith Trooper - Knights of the Old Republic
- Bastila Shan - Knights of the Old Republic
- Widdle & Oochee (AT-ST Hijackers) - ROTJ
- Mara Jade Skywalker (Jedi) - NJO
- Mara Jade (Emperor's Hand) - Alliegance Books
- Darth Sion - Knights of the Old Republic II
- Lumat & Logray - ROTJ
- Grand Moff Tarkin - ANH
- Sgt. Doallyn - ROTJ
- Teebo & Ewok w/ E-11 - ROTJ
- Darth Caedus - Legacy of the Force
- Captain/Admiral Pellaeon - Thrawn Trilogy
- Mandalorian Neo Crusaders - Knights of the Old Republic
- Snowtrooper Officer - TESB
- Jocasta Nu - AOTC
- Commander Praji - ANH
- Joruus C'Baoth - Thrawn Trilogy
- Rebel Fleet Trooper (Pello Scrambas) - ANH
- Cliegg Lars - AOTC
- Toryn Farr - TESB
- Nikto (Vintage) - ROTJ
- Echo Base Deck Officer - TESB
- Guri - Shadows of the Empire: Evolution
- Ben Skywalker (Jedi) - Legacy of the Force
- Darth Wyrrlok - Legacy
- Darth Maladi - Legacy
- Anakin Solo (Jedi Knight) - NJO
- Weequay (Hunter) - ROTJ
So, what happens next? Our results have been sent into Hasbro, and they will be combined with the results from other participating websites to create a master list of 30...in honor of next year's 30th anniversary of
The Empire Strikes Back, of course! The master list will be revealed in ToyFare magazine #148 (published in October).
Then, WizardUniverse.com (ToyFare's parent website) will run a final poll to determine the overall #1 most popular character. This will be a poll that includes the general audience, but the candidates have all been determined by members of the collecting community...an important difference since the last Fans' Choice Poll in 2006!
Hasbro will make one figure with the "Fans' Choice" designation, but as we have seen already, the Top 30 list can potentially lead to a few more years of great Star Wars action figures.
