What if Kenner had made just one more figure during the POTF run?

What would you have liked it to be?

Personally as a kid I would have loved Han-Stormtrooper, Luke just looked so helpless by himself! :p

Should of been Tarkin, can't believe they never did a tarkin figure anyway, and yet did figures like imperial dignitary and lobot :?

It really is incredible how Tarkin was never produced considering how a few minor cantina characters were made in the first 20.

Does anyone know if Kenner made any prototypes of Tarkin?

Here's why -

Kenner were desperate to get sales up in 1985-86 but LFL vetoed a bunch of their ideas (namely producing toys that took the story way beyond the Battle of Endor).

Tarkin was, at this late stage, proposed - but never made. Interest was dying off and Kenner cut their losses and moved on.

There's some cool "what-ifs" in this employee presentation - and a few horrific shite-piles that we should be grateful never happened...

Here's a link to the Toys R Gus section:

You can make one from a Hammerhead and a Squidhead with 4-Lom's bib!! Is his head made out of the US trash compactor monster?
