Star Wars "Best of" -- 3.75" Scale

Tiberius · 02-28-2012, 07:50 PM

Come to think of it... I love this figure and love the character. He needed more saber combat in the movie haha.

bmorr · 02-28-2012, 07:54 PM

he had his badassery the OLD clone wars cartoon

Tiberius · 02-28-2012, 07:55 PM

YEESSSS I remember those short cartoons. His first appearance was INSANE.

bmorr · 02-28-2012, 08:10 PM

that show was pretty over the top but entertaining. im still wondering if Dirge is gonna show up in the new show.

Optimus Vader · 02-28-2012, 08:10 PM

Those Cartoon Network shorts were the shit. Best scene was when Mace whopped Grevious' ass.

Tiberius · 02-28-2012, 08:12 PM

Durge teaming up with Cad Bane would be flipping sweet... However I cannot remember exactly where in the time line the Durge dies though. I remember it is in a comic for sure.

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% agree.

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

TVC one is much, much better.

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.

Well for Luke I meant DS Luke, forgot there was a Jabba's Palace version coming(is that the deleted or extended scene version with a different head sculpt?).

Who is that cape from... I would like to get one. it owns!

Jason Abbadon · 02-29-2012, 05:53 AM

Agreed! That cape is fantastic- I want one for my Baron Strucker!

LORD MARVEL · 02-29-2012, 06:12 AM

Magna guard from AOTC episode 2 line ..."grievous droids"

snake5289 · 02-29-2012, 09:59 AM

As for the Clone Wars stuff I don't have much but of what I have my favorite is the Season 3 version of Anakin. Not the newest one but the one that was released before it. Swapped his head with the first release Anakin to give him the more serious face and love it. Just wish his forearms were more like Obi-Wan's so he could have some wrist articulation instead of where they placed it.

That be the one. Only one out there I think. Looks like some black paint, cape from a Body Guard and you got yourself a mean looking Sith.

bog · 03-17-2012, 08:02 PM

wish I could find that three pack

Tiberius · 03-17-2012, 08:13 PM

My friend found me one down Island a few years back. I personally have NEVER seen it in person unless at a LCS.

Jason Abbadon · 03-17-2012, 09:43 PM

That Darth Bane- I neeed to get him!
I want to cast that head up for MU customs- it looks awesome!
Add some hair and it'd make a PERFECT Norman Osborn!

What does he normally go for? I need my roomate to use his (deadly) ebay-fu and score me one!

If you were to get your hands on a figure I want so badly only to turn him into a goblin, I would cry a little I think.

Ditto.

I just started buying some Star Wars figures last month and so far I've picked up some decent stuff so far. Still hunting for VC Maul but my first buy was Bastila. Been enjoying some clone troopers but I don't know if they've made a realistic looking Rex yet.

Also, what are the best Obi-Wan (ROTS), Mace Windu, Bespin Luke, and Yoda (non clone wars)?
