5 Star Wars Figures That Haven’t Been Made

Come on George, we’re waiting

Yes, they actually made a C-3PX figure

Since the Star Wars Blu-rays are right around the corner, your Toy Maniac now has the perfect excuse to write about his favorite subject. Since he has done multiple lists about Star Wars figures before, coming up with a new list was tougher than he then thought. So here is “5 Star Wars Figures That Haven’t Been Made”. He was able to find a few here and there that Hasbro and Lucasfilm have missed. What shocked us was that they already made a C-3PX figure. Furthermore, they haven’t even re-launched the Droids figures yet. Come on George, we’re waiting.
 
5. Noa

Five Star Wars Action Figures We Wish Lucasfilm Would Make

Noa was played by Wilford Brimley in Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. He was a wily old hermit living on Endor and minding his own business. He held his own against a few baddies and saved Cindel Towani from certain death. Need another reason? They already made a Teek figure for the Star Tours ride.
 
4. Jabba the Hutt  

Five Star Wars Action Figures We Wish Lucasfilm Would Make

The original Jabba the Hutt had a very human looking stand-in. Declan Hullholland played old Jabba and a figure of him is long over due. At Toy Fair, Hasbro announced that there would be deleted scene figures. Declan’s appearance is close enough in our books.
 
3. Jaxxon

Five Star Wars Action Figures We Wish Lucasfilm Would Make

Jaxxon was originally seen in Marvel’s Star Wars Comic #8 titled “Eight for Aduba-3”. If you think this is a terrible idea, remember there are far worse figures out there. Yarna d'al' Gargan is a perfect example. Our suggestion is to leave behind the comic book colors for a more serious rendition.
 
2. Tag and Bink

Five Star Wars Action Figures We Wish Lucasfilm Would Make

After the prequels, we all needed to laugh again. Kevin Rubio already had us with his short film Troops and this comic was a prefect follow up. The adventures of Tag and Bink take us in and around our beloved Saga. Figures of these two should have come out a long time ago.
 
1. The Alderaan Stormtrooper

Five Star Wars Action Figures We Wish Lucasfilm Would Make

Star Wars Marvel comic #86 titled “The Alderaan Factor” is where we find a Stormtrooper doing the unthinkable: he rescued Princess Leia. This unnamed Stormtrooper gave a new dimension to these, at the time, faceless characters in the Star Wars universe. So, Hasbro, where is our Alderaan Stormtrooper? Check out his bio on Star Wars Wookieepedia.

Did they ever make Shira Brie/ Lady Lumiya?

Invisioner- Yes, they did.  Lady Lumiya was in one of the comic book two-packs, and came with a Luke Skywalker with a pair of lightsabres (one long, one short as in the comic).  Probably the best ongoing storyline of the Marvel SW run (since it's the only one I still remember after all these years).

interesting picks though unless lucas and hasbro wants to revisit the ewok films. doubt ful  noa will ever see plastic. tag and binks long over due surprise Hasbro has not included them in their comic pack waves. old original jabba. can see him pop up in the deleated scenes line if the first few due well. Jaxoon never going to happen for George Lucas has made it quite clear  he hates that rabbit and would rather fans forget about Jaxoon which means no chance of him seeing plastic ever.for Lucas would shoot down any attempt. and surprise the catina twins did not make the list for they due to legal issues with the actress likeness are long over due .
