I've always had a soft spot for Klaatu. He was the first carded figure I ever owned, a right of passage for most MOC collectors (although some people claim he's rare on a trilogo card now!) the figure itself is a good sculpt and has a nice soft skirt :p
 
I've always had a soft spot for the Imperial Dignitary. He may look like a purple suppository (and have about the same play value as one), but for some reason I've always liked the figure... probably because I like the colour purple (but am less keen on suppositories)!

I think the alien figures in the line are generally fantastic
 
Yeah the Klatuu brothers are underrated in my opinion. The imperial Dignity has also grown on me in recent years. There's not a bad figure to be honest.
 
Don't know if Bossk is underrated but i have always had a soft spot for him thou you wouldn't know it, he was always in slave one when i was a kid ;)
 
When you collect variants you start to get an appreciation of many of the unloved figures.

Klaatu has already been mentioned. Aside that I really like Dengar, Zuckuss, WBG and Chief Chirpa at the moment.

Draw the line at Lobot, Madine and Klaatu Skiff though 😆

You're lucky I can't ban you anymore 😂
 
Another vote for Prince Face - remember getting him back in the day and not knowing if he was a goody or a baddy.
Loved his cape but always thought his real world rifle was totally wrong for SW though.

He was my first action-figure from THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Got him from Target in 1981.

Love the yellow, brown and white colours - with the little red/orange ribbed collar of his flight suit.

Another beautifully detailed figure (for the time). Also, has an excellent photo of him on the card - which attracted me to him right away.
 
I've always liked Weequay- a great sculp, in fact the whole first wave of Jedi figures feel underrated, seemed like such a step up in quality at the time.
 
The (white) Bespin Guard is an excellent sculpt.

Shame the figure is so boring to look at. Some additional paint apps would have improved it (like the one featured on the 30-back card, with the white collar and black boots).
 
I'm going to give another shout out for Prune Face. Good figure sculpt, eye patch, cloak and a rifle. Also commonly mistaken for an Imperial rather than a hero of the Resistance. Now that's underrating both the Kenner figure and the character!

Yeah prune face is a good figure, don't you think the rifles strange though?
 
Squid Head. You know he's the boy. Soft goods, belt, a fantastic sculpt and a grey blaster all of his own.
