Top 5 Sideshow SW Figures

[Darth Mitchell]

I'm surprised Qui-Gon isn't on anyones list.

The likness is good, but the hair is what's killing him to be in the top 5.
He maybe in my top 10 at place 7 or 8

I always thought the clothing was tailored on the figure really well. It was one of the better ones in that regard.

Honestly, Qui-Gon is one of my favorite characters in the PT, actually a tie with Maul as my favorite of the PT. But that figure is just kind of boring. The likeness is okay, but the hair kills it. The exclusive, while important was kinda poor in my opinion. The color of it was off, and while it might be correct in real life it doesn't match the perceived look on screen. The tabbards were also way off in cut,much too thin.


I was more forgiving with the flaws of Anakin, but Qui-Gon I could be more critical of just because of how much I enjoy the character.

Personally I think the top 5 have yet to be released. Ben Kenobi and ROTS Palps are definitely two of the best out there but I think many lists will change once Hammerhead, Cody, Rex, Greedo and Gammy are all set and released.

Also agree. But if I had to choose now, my top five would be:

1) Leia as Boushh
2) Sandtrooper (any of the three)
3) Emperor Palpatine
4) Episode IV Obi-Wan Kenobi
5) Utapau Clone Trooper

Honorable mentions would include Bib Fortuna, any of the other Clone Troopers (I just like the Utapau design best), Stormtrooper, and Palpatine 2-Pack.

is rots palps in anyone's top 5? he's okay but overrated imo. i assumed all the 'emperor' votes were for the new OT version.

Boba F...oh wait. Never mind.

 

[Balsquat]

Has sideshow said anything about making an X-wing costume Luke from New Hope?

I would love to add him to my shelf with Vader, Old Ben and Leia.

That is great news.
I love figures in bright colors and it would look spectacular posed with a blaster.

Nice lists everyone. I like how most are in agreement in regards to which figs should be in the top 5. Narrows my buying choices pretty slim. Hopefully I'll be picking up Maul, Anakin-Vader, and Jedi Luke tomorrow evening.

You should just hold on a bit. I have a feeling HT is gonna get the star wars license.

That's good to know they're making that, that'll probably be the only 1/6th Luke I'll ever buy. Unless they make a Hoth Snow Gear version of him since that's my most wanted Luke figure.
