I like your idea of making mock-ups of figures that could have been or should have been, maybe it will get the attention of some Hasbro Executives. I would definetly dig the Queen as a Vintage style figure or Deluxe Fig with say a couple of handmaidens can you see Cinema Scene anyone ahh those were the days..

I love this idea and definitely hope to see it continue… I think this amidala would be great, too. Perfect look without too much retooling work on Hasbro’s part.
I personally would like to see a multi-pack of mos eisley/mos espa (or coruscant) human citizens (exclusive somewhere since it would be very niche – especially if heavy on the humans) with figures made of old molds, but new-sculpt heads.

Figures that are outdated or need updating.The ones needing new molds.Your Queen Amidala from Episode I fits this.
Figures that could use some minor or major corrections to make them even better.The Snowtrooper is one example.The "ultimate" SA Clone Trooper–take all the best parts of last years Clones and put them all into one.
Figures that could be made easily with "kit-bashing".Generic Jedi and Sith,etc. made from other figures that could be made. Throw these into battlepacks or additions to the regular line.Forget the name at moment–but like the "Hammerhead" Jedi from the Clone Wars from a Momaw Nadon figure.

I’ll add to the chorus by saying I like this idea (both the new figure and the way you visualized it). The mockup card looks really REALLY nice and is starting to grow on me. Definitely do more of these types of features, it’s a great way to let Hasbro see how it should turn out if they actually go for making it.

I still grasping how strange that new packaging will be. And the loss of stands for coins…and I bet they won’t even work in a vending machine.
