Your top 5 Star Wars figures?

Looks like I never replied to this first time round. Here's my top with reasons for each:
1) Luke X-Wing
I was DESPERATE for one of these as a kid, but never found one in a shop. I used to call him 'Orange Luke.' I eventually managed to get a crappy old beater in the late 80s from a friend. IMO one of the coolest costumes from the films, and a great looking figure. Apart from the fact the visor makes it look like he has black hair, which caused many an argument at school with people who thought it was Wedge :lol:
2) Han Hoth
The first figure I ever got as a kid. My cousin bought him for me while I was in hospital. Not the most amazing looking figure admittedly.
3) Biker Scout
Without doubt the best looking 'trooper' from any of the films, and the figure is very accurate unlike the original Stormtrooper. Another figure I really wanted as a kid but never found one in a shop, eventually managed to swap something for one.
4) Luke Bespin
I remember having him as a kid, and that's probably why I ended up doing a focus a while back. And any figure that comes with 2 weapons has got to be cool right?
5) Darth Vader
I'm sure many won't agree, but I love the tall, wimpy looking Vader. IMO easily the most iconic figure from the whole line. He's exactly what a child's toy should be. Fun, but not menacing. He is also the best figure to smell, it takes me right back to being 5

I've spent far to long considering this, so hard to differentiate so going on the ones I loved as a kid...
Walrus man
Boba fett
Ig88
Hammerhead
R2 solid dome
Walrus man takes top spot as I remember playing with him in a fast moving stream, letting him go in one hand and catching him further drown stream( he looked aquatic!). The inevitable happened and he went down river, blaster in hand, never to be seen again.
He achieved mythical status as I couldn't see him in my local toy shop until going in to woolworths one day where the only carded figures they had were him and ackbar! About 50 of each! Why did I buy only one???

This is tricky... hmm.
R2-D2. First figure I had as a kid.
C3-PO. Second I had as a kid! Both still brilliant figures in my eyes.
Leia Bespin. Two survived my childhood, one is a Tri-logo and probably the peachiest veteran fig I own.
Luke Jedi. He's back in black and looking sharp.
Gam guard. Because I always thought the chunky Rancor snacks were a great figure.
Really tough to leave out any Imperial, Jawa, Tusken, Jabba, IG-88 and particularly Yoda. But good game, good game.

Love this story mate. I spent many an hour in the bath with my Walrus Man, very aquatic and once loose limbed a great diver too. :wink:

But all of them could be up here for many reasons....apart from the purple nob job imperial dignitary.....looks like an electric bishop
