I like your list Shin, but with a few exceptions/notes...

When I saw this thread I assumed that people (especially non-SW collectors) are looking for a list or advice as to which figures to get that are: realistic/film accurate;
best articulation/sculpting;
best representation of the character.

In essence, "Buy one and done."

The figures you list are all great, but for those who just want to buy one version of the character, they may not be the best choices.

FYI my collecting focus has been Star Wars since around 2003-04, and I only get "the best" versions of characters.

Depends on whether you want a "Jabba's Palace" or "Death Star" version. This is best for the DS version. The new upcoming Luke is specific to Jabba's Palace, but you'll still need the black cloak from the SAGA figure.

100% if you just want one Vos. You'll need to venture to Comic Packs to get the comic accurate versions.

TVC Cody is a little better in my opinion.

I like the POTJ version as it's more accurate height/size to my eyes, but this one is cool and cheap too. Luke is much shorter than all the other pilots/actors in ANH!!

Both of these you may want to head-swap with other figures (for a more "hero" Anakin, or for more accurate to the screen horns for Maul)

These are all cool figures - Embo is one of my favorite new characters - but if you "just need one R2" or "one Yoda" then there are much better versions out there.
