What're your favorite and least favorite Star Wars minifigures?

Recommended Posts

In no particular order:

- Captain Phasma: PEEAAARRLLL!

- 2015 Tan Imperial Officer: Lot of hate on this guy for not being gray, but I love him anyway! (Unrelated: I eventually want to see an olive green officer :moar: )

- Original Shadow Trooper: These guys were the dopest back in 2008, a year which also marked the first major revision to the regular Stormtrooper minifigures. Man, those all looked so much better than my 2000 ones!

- Admiral Yularen: You can't resist that uniform.....

- Agent Kallus: The armored torso! The Roman-esque helmet! The chops!

- Female Resistance Fighter: I don't know what it is about this one, it just really speaks to me I guess.

- My 7140 Biggs & Luke: A simple elegance, a reminder of a lost innocence...

Non-Star Wars:

- My Classic Space guys: 'Nuff said.

- Green Exo-Suit spacemen: Same as above :laugh:

- Indiana Jones Soviet soldiers: SAND GREEN!

- 2015 City astronauts: You know you dig 'em.

- Prisoner from Tire Escape: MUSTACHIO!

- Sinestro: Pink head! Mustache! Sinestro!

3. Starkiller / Galen Marik / Vader's Aprentice

Good choice. This one and the battle damaged Vader from that set (Rogue Shadow) are among my favorites as well. For the rest: all the Jabba aliens (Ree-Yees, Rancor, Gamorrean Guard, Bib Fortuna, Jabba, Salacoius, Boushh, Max Rebo), Skiff Lando, Kylo Ren, the old Yoda...

The current AT-AT driver, I need to get another Microfighter so I can get a third one. I have the 75054 set and one Microfighter. Max Rebo, I bought him individually. The Emperor's red guard. The current Greedo. The current BARC Trooper. The blue senate commando. Captain Phasma. Sabine Wren. Agent Kallus. The first Inquisitor. The 41st Elite Corps Scout Trooper. And, the latest Darth Vader with the two piece helmet. Obviously, the UCS Slave I Boba Fett is awesome and I have it, but I like these more.

I'm loving the new (ish) Hoth Rebel Trooper figures. I'm eager to get the Hoth Attack and the Assault On Hoth sets just to get them. Hoth Attack will be pruchased ASAP. The current OT Snowtrooper is awesome as well. I think I forgot the TFA Flametrooper, that one is nice.

Me too, wouldn't say I'm an imperial 'fan' but I do have a lot of sheevs goons. Interested to see your Yularen legs, I was thinking of getting the legs from the cmf witch and erasing the black and white lines above the 'knees' to get the tunic and boots look.

Dagobah and Cloud City Luke need a god damn new version, but Lego just refuses to make new small/medium sized sets to the scenes of ESB... how are you supposed to properly reenact the duel on bespin with a brand new vader and no luke :hmpf_bad:

@JPN366

Nice to see a fan of the AT-AT Driver. It would definitely be one of my honorable mentions and is definitely the most interesting imperial soldier of the OT due to its unique colourization :thumbup:

I second the notion of more ESB sets. Yoda's Hut, Ambush In Cloud City (when Vader surprises them in the dining area), and various Bespin/Cloud City scenes.

That General Veers figure looks pretty good too. I'm so glad I got 75054 set.

Found it hard but here's mine...

SANDTROOPER (Mos Eisley Cantina)

Love Imperials and this guy just shades it over the latest generation Stormie for the dirt patches and pauldron. Love a mini with an accessory

GREY SQUADRON PILOT (B-wing)

Something about this guy. I wouldn't place him in the films but the detail on the suit and helmet are fantastic.

X-WING PILOT (X-Wing microfighter)

Again I love the extra tweaked detail on the flight suit, the fact that they stuck an exclusive figure with an exclusive torso legs and helmet in a £9 set and put in Red 10 rather than 'Generic Rebel Pilot'. If this guy had been in a UCS set his retail would be £25+

BOBA FETT (UCS Slave I)

My first and only UCS purchase to date, and with the arm printing I just can't see how they can top this figure, it's perfect. Side leg printing would just make him too fussy and over detailed

LUKE SKYWALKER (Ewok Village)

Not really sure why but I just love this one and the slight variant with flap up released in Final Duel. Great detail, but also kept it simple.

Honourable mentions to Han (blue jacket), First Order TIE pilot, Leia/Boushh and Captain Phasma.

I am a fan of some of the older minifigs, especially the pupil-less fleshies from about 2004-2009. Here are ten that I can think of off the top of my head that I really like from my collection:

-Original Yoda

-Original Boba Fett

-Newest Greedo

-UCS Slave 1 Boba Fett

-Bossk

-Current White Boba

-Captain Antilles

-Any version of fleshie luke without the pupils

-Cantina Han

-Grand Moff Tarkin

Its also nice to see some mentions of the most recent Darth Vader figure with the printing and especially the new helmet mold since a lot of people dont really seem to like it.

I personally think, even if its still not perfect, its a whole lot better than the old one we now had since the beginning of Lego SW which just was too small and made the mask look rather cute than menacing :laugh:

Would definitely be in my list if I had the minifig, but the Final Duel Set just doesnt offer anything else I would really want to have...

Ok this is tough. I am just going to comment on the figs I own. I agree with a lot of what others have already said.

1. Slave 1 Boba Fett. Doesn't get much better than him. Great character, great printing, great collectibility.

2. TFA C-3P0 with red arm. The printing on this fig is fantastic.

3. Scout Trooper from Ewok Village. Always been a fan of this character and owning this one just makes me happy.

4. Captain Phasma. I just wish she didn't have a black head, but I guess we don't really know what she looks like so it makes sense.

5. Poe Dameron from Poe's X-Wing. The helmet seals the deal for me. I could say both figs from this set are a tie due to their fabulous helmet.

Lego really has stepped up its game with the minifigs recently, I just wish the helmets stayed on better. Some of mine are very loose.

The Force Awakens and the show Rebels have really peaked my interest in Star Wars again (which is used to solely collect), so I've been starting to gather up some of the figures I missed out on and the ones being released now. Here are my top five from my collection (clearly I favor the imperials):

5) Classic Boba Fett

I love the classic look of this character, far more so than any of the new helmet/jetpack design versions (with their ridiculous rangefinder).

4) Kylo Ren

I only own one TFA set apparently, Takodana, which seemed like the only non rip-off set to me (well except the Rey's speeder), luckily Kylo was included because he's a topnotch figure. His face print is especially well done--and like Kallus below, it's always a tough choice for me to use either the helmet or the hair, since both look equally spectacular. Crossguard lightsaber is also sweet, although I wish it was actually slightly longer.

3) Emperor Palpatine (75093)

Recently picked up this version on the aftermarket, and I feel its easily the coolest Palapatine yet! Previously I only had the classic and Imperial Inspection versions, the former of which I thought was very good, but this latest version is just spectacular. The tan skin works very well.

2) Bossk

My favorite Lego Bounty Hunter--just
too
cute with the yellow jumpsuit!

1) Agent Kallus

He is actually my favorite Star Wars character. And I'll be honest, 60% because he has the most amazing facial hair the in galaxy and 40% because of David
Oyelowo's epic voice. Plus he's amazing in combat. He destroyed Zeb in battle with the same type of weapon that Zeb has used his entire life. Anyways, I actually upgraded the figure significantly because Lego chose to dress him completely in black for some inaccurate reason. I replaced the arms with dark bley and legs with Batman's dark bley/molded black boots (which look amazing on every Imperial Officer incidentally; I just ordered a bunch off Bricks & Pieces for this very reason) and he's virtually 1:1 to screen appearance. Gorgeous!
