Hi all.

Do you have a favourite figure that you consider underrated by collectors, or even by your friends when you were a kid?

Mine are Bossk and Zuckuss.

I have soft spot for Bossk simply because of his mirthful and rather cheeky reptilian smile, it makes ME smile :D

Zuckuss I just think is a solid all round figure, everything about him is good.

I have a soft spot for a couple of Jabba's goons and even a couple of the ewoks, Teebo and Logray, but the one I really like is the Rebel Soldier. And if you can get the white legged POCH variant or the dark brown PBP variant he's way cooler.

It has to be the Cloud Car Pilot for me. I like that the pose is a bit different, I think the colour scheme is really distinctive, and I even like that bloody communicator! Even when I was a kid there was something about him that made him stand out and just appear really cool.

I'm quite fond of the often ridiculed ones.

I like Lobot. A cyborg with cool headphones from Cloud City. Sounds good to me. I even like the Dignitary but I can see why a pensioner with a purple loaf of bread for a hat isn't popular.

More sensible suggestions: Zuckuss, 4LOM, Cloud Car Pilot.

Cloud Car Pilot for all the above reasons.
I like the uniform and the colour scheme, mind you the card back art is awful!

I also genuinely like the Imperial Dignitary (don't laugh!). I accept it would have made a pretty rubbish toy for a child, but I never owned one back then. As an adult collector however, I like the fact it's one of the background characters and I am as surprised as I am pleased that it was made at all... I'm also helped by the fact that it's purple, which is one of my favourite colours :-D

Squid Head and Bib Fortuna are two of my favourites in the whole line and they rarely get anywhere in the Forum Figure of the Year polls. I love the sculpt on both, they both have capes/clothes, a belt and both have a weapon on top of all that!
Such amazing value and to my eye a real statement of quality and diversity of design both in the film itself and in the range of figures.

Not so underrated, but never a contender; Boushh and Lando Skiff. Loved a removable disguise as a kid and still do today

8D8 was a favourite when I was a kid. His detachable legs came in handy during all sorts of adventures and you could fold him in half and pretend he was a spaceship (if you imagined hard enough!)

Detachable legs?, like actual intentional removable legs? :?

AT-ST driver. He was often the Boss on the dark side, when dividing my bed into two camps with movable borders.
Sunglasses and loading him up with two guns and a cape and you got a real killer.

Second is Leia with her removable helmet. The light side Fett..

Also Squid Head for me. Great design and the only figure I have left from my childhood. A few others I like are Weequay, Nikto, Admiral Ackbar, 8D8, EV-9D9 and AT-ST Driver which all don't get much love.

Wow that's mad, I had no idea, all these years and I never knew of that. :shock:
