Forum Figure of the Yar 2017 - 1st Round - Group D

[Stuart Skinner]

PLEASE CHOOSE THREE

Group D sees a further four figures who have never qualified from the opening round and with three competitors who have more often then not then it may continue another year. AT-ST Driver, Blue Snaggletooth, EV-9D9 and Rebel Commando have all fell in this round each year.

As for the other three it has been slightly better with Gamorrean Guard and IG-88 both making the second round on two previous occasions each, whilst the Death Squad Commander has reached the third round in both 2015 and 2016. In 2015 he was beaten by Luke Farmboy comprehensively and then in 2016, although closer, Luke Farmboy was his downfall again. Who knows how far he can go if he avoids the young moisture farmer.

Gam Guard - Loved him as a child and still do know, quality figure
IG-88 - Again loved him as a kid, plus two weapons
Death Squad Commander - This figure has grown and grown on me and is now way up there near the top of my list of favourites. Love that helmet.

 

[SOJ]

Had to go IG-88, Gam Guard and blue snag on this one

 

[Richard_H]

Gam Guard - great figure and comes with an axe!
IG-88 - two weapons and goo sculpt
EV-9D9 - movable mouth was a good feature

 

[mumbo]

Gammy - have a soft spot for the GG's
IG88 - love the look of this figure and he's that bad ass he got two weapons
Rebel Commando - not everyone's cup of tea but another figure I now have a soft spot for

 

[tobedesu]

Ig88, gamorrean guard and ev9d9.

 

[ScruffyLookingNH]

EV-9D9 - Cool sculpt and moving mouth and still a new figure to me.
Rebel Commando - unloved by most but I think he's kind of cool and I loved Jedi as a kid
DSC - Helmet respect

 

[Markzane]

Gam guard- exciting times when the awesome new wave of Jedi figures were released.

IG-88 -bounty hunter so gets a vote.

Rebel commando- not much love for these but underrated plus comes with painted or molded face which surely makes them interesting

 

[SAVORY100]

Rebel Commando - so many great memories playing with mine alongside my brothers AF figures and he has a one off weapon as well
Gam Guard - big, brilliantly sculpted, great weapon too
DSC - just love the ultimate simplicity of his design as a figure

 

[Darth Bobby]

Blue Snag- Boots
Gam Guard- Sandals
DSC- Hat

 

[Robstyley]

Gam Guard, had it and liked it as a kid. Great sculpt and detail. Huge figure!
IG-88, love droids, awesome looking and a badass assasin.
EV9, love droids, just another great looking interesting figure

 

[TrisCompany]

Really surprised to see the love out there for GG. I always thought it was ugly and was the only figure I had two of as a boy. Never liked the Jabba crew. I tactically voted for just IG and Blue Snag to try and help Blue Snag.

 

[hellhippie]

ig88 - enough said
ev99 - see description for ig88
dsc - ive just loved this figure my whole life . as someone said the simplicity of this figure is what embodies the vintage line for me

 

[edd_jedi]

This is the hardest one so far, not a massive fan of any of them to be honest. They're all fine, but nothing to love about them.

Stu has gone all posh on us for the round "figure of the yar"

Stu has gone all posh on us for the round "figure of the yar"

To be fair he is part of the upper class
