At the risk of being the wet blanket…meh….I really only buy the Ep 1 stuff to have one of each…or almost one of each that is…the only Gungans I’ve got are Rep Been (a pair) and absolutely no Jar Jars. And the only little orphan Annies are the one’s that I was forced to buy as part of a set, the Jedi Council version and the Tatooine Showdown Cinema Scene. However…if right now I was forced to choose between a somewhat cool looking, minor character in Ep 1, especially if it were Jedi or Senatorial, or be forced to choose another friggin’ clone, I think I’d quite easily choose the former. I’m pretty much cloned-out, the only clone grabbing my attention being the scuba clone because he’s much more than "different enough." The rest are starting to grate, frankly. And the weekly animated dose is only making matters worse for me personally. I’m willing to leave Ep 1 pretty much alone, not try to poke too much fun at it etc, but the less reminder I have of its existence when in the action figure aisle, the better, sadly.

I think they’re all viable toys in a time when people need to economize. I like them all. (Only the Nute Gunray is unreleased. The other two were.)

Don’t we already have that holographic Sidious? I’m so confused (forgive me). The Amidala looks to be the same one we have but with soft goods. Do you want these as they were sculpted originally or updated to meet current standards? Or, if your OCD is as bad as mine, do you need original sculpts AND more modern versions?

ACK! NO FLOCKING!!! I’m allergic to flocking. I can’t even display my lifesize Evil Monkey (from Family Guy) because he’s flocked.

Well where should I start, I've got a list of 94 characters I'd like to see released and that doesn't include mulitples such as Naboo Security forces, Handmaidens and Gungans. So what I'll do is take one from each catagory. Republic Envoys: Capt. Maoi Madakor ( "Radient VII" ). I know she's not the most exiting of characters and she doesn't last long in the film but if Hasbro were to bring her out with say half of the control console of Radient VII I'd be happy, because then I'd have so way of explaining the start of the film in my collection. Trade Federation: Nute Gunray w/ Mechno-Chair. With Hasbro now giving most figures knee articulation I would love to see this figure make the shelves especially if they can make the chair with a working wind-up mechanism. Queen Amidala: Yellow & Orange Handmaidens Disguise outfit. I'd like to see hasbro bring this figure out with a flock finish so that the outfit has a velvet look and more importantly feel to it add a mini holographic figure of Sio Bibble and I'd be happy until the Gungans come home! Taking of which. Gungans: Gungan Musician (Naboo Celebration). I've picked this particular Gungan from my list because it would give Hasbro the greatest amount of uses. They could if they got the Articulation right pack it with either just a musical Horn or just a Drum or with a Banner of which they could be 5 Variants Yellow, White, Purple, Green and Blue. So hasbro would gain 7 figures out of one mould. Naboo Officials: Senator Palpatine (Hologram) Simply this figure could me produced useing the original moulds hoping that is that Hasbro still have them. I think it would help to make a good multi pack. Mos Espa: Kitster & Wald 2pk I'd like to see these two made to fill out the Mos Espa side of my collection and simply because it doesn't get enough attention. Pod Racers: All of them! Simple! The Republic Senate: Sei Taria (Administration Aide to Chancellor Valorum) Simply to complete the Senate threesome. Creature Packs: Naboo Swamp/Sea creatures! I'd like to see Hasbro create two Naboo Creature packs which contain Qui-Gon Jinn, w/ 1 Ikobi, 2 Motts and 2 Pikobis (X2 because of there size) and Jar Jar Binks w/ 1 Falupaset, 2 Peko-Peko and 2 Nunas (X2 because of their size) then when you have both packs jar jar & Qui-Gon fit together to help recreate the Swamp stampede scene. As for the sea creatures I'd like to see a Colo Claw fish which is made of soft rubber or similar material and maybe glow-in-the-dark markings and to finish it off hiden transparent wheels which are off centre so the creature has a rippling effect when moved and a baby Colo Claw fish w/ a sucker so it can be stuck to a surface. Vehicals: Gungan Bongo Sub. I know we had the small version several years ago w/ Obi-wan included, but I'd like to see a more movie accurate version which can fit the three charaters in and which has a rotating back rudder and maybe lights?

Bring on Holographic Gunray, why they haven’t already released it is beyond me.It even has more articulation than the regular Gunray by having what looks like ball jointed elbows.
