| Id like to do a little poll here and find out the 3 worst figures in your opinion that ever came out in the starwars vintage line, or just the 1 if you like. i love most of them as they all hold there own charm for me, and they all have there place in the collection BUT there might be a few exceptions and i would love to hear your thoughts and opinions, you all must have 1 or 2 your not to fond of for whatever reason, whether you dont like the sculpt, you dont think the figure fits into the line, you think they could have done better with the figure etc, i'll start 1. 2-1B, man this dude sucks, he has to have the worst head sculpt ever, i have no love for him at all, and dont think he fits into the line at all 2. Cheif Chipra, i like a few of the ewoks but this is a boring figure imo, just doesnt do it for me. 3. General Madine, once again just doesnt do it for me for some reason, and one more for the heck of it, 4. Luke skywalker Jedi, i just think they could have done this guy a bit better, i thin he is the worst of the luke sculpts by far.. 5. FX-7, so crap i forgot to put it in, there is nothing to like about this one, a waste of space in the line imo Looking forward to your votes, cheers guys n thanks for reading

Those are some serious fighting words right there. Actually, too bad everyone else doesn't think that way so I'd have less competition. These days I find it actually difficult to pick a worst figure as I feel they all have their own little charm about them. Even the likes of Madine, Rancor Keeper, Imperial Dignitary or the fur balls. I like them all. |

Shawno sorry mate, but he is not on my christmas card list, but you will be happy to know he is miles above 2-1B, AND FX-7, his not that bad, he does have a few interesting head sculpts though, lol, cheers brother |

Im sad for you! As an "adult" and an "artist", the ones on my list are poorly designed, but as a kid I didn't care, they were part of the toyline, and as such, either got the most playwear or the least. |

| I really think as the line progressed the sculpts and details got better! The Jedi line is much better than the ESB and the SW line. And the POTF is better than the Jedi line. There are some beautiful figures throughout the entire line, if you just look at them a bit. Look at Leia Hoth for instance. The detailing on the figure is amazing! And really Hammerhead is quite well done if you take a few minutes and look at him.
I'm like Shawn, I don't think I would pick a "worst" looking figure. They are all nice IMO. And I think the Ewoks are some of the best. Especially when you compare them to their modern version. I still think the vintage Logray and Wicket are the best representations of the characters to date!
I mean look at this!

Chris i totally agree with you here, but dont look into the word ''worst'' to deep, if you have a hand full of uncut diamonds and you said to an expert to pick the worst, it doesnt mean the ones he picks a real bad, it means there are ones he likes more for what ever reason, there is a bit of magic n charm in just about every figure , cheers Mate there is a reason i love n collect vintage kenner figures, its because they have magic, wonder n warmth about them, cheers |

Not sure if I get you right...but I love them all....since a kid and will always do! Im just tired of threads like: - name your lamest figure - what would you have wished Kenner to produce as a kid? - did they stopped producing to soon? - what you have wished character X look like as kid...now - why has Kenner never made a newer version of x?? (threads that turn up every 2 month since decades........boring!!!!) whatever.....it is like it is! They are there! Hate them or love them. Collect them or leave the hobby! I love them!! |

| Personally like others have said I like them all. But I guess if I had to pick my least favorites of the ones I like it would have to be Both Bespin Guards and Nikto. |

| Hmmmmmm.
1. Ewoks (Yes lump them all in the same spot)
2. Madine
3. A wing or B wing pilot.
And ozzie Greedo, pay no attention to Wolff. He tends to take himself, this hobby and his opinions on both waaaaaay to seriously.

I love them!! Hey champion, now its time to address your massive self opinion of your self, and your arrogant put downs of a newer member. These are your words '' if you think seriously some of the figures are lame (besides anakian spirit), you have actually chosen the wrong hobby and or lost your whole kids imagination'' ''i am sad for you'' hey champ, i collect because i have the spirit of a child, and i see a magical charm n warmth in the vintage starwars stuff, for you to be so full of yourself and so arrogant to say to another collector this sort of self important dribble, mate you need to take a good look in you mirror, im sure it gets a good work out from you, and give yourself an uppercut you grub, It was infact so outrageous i thought you were takin the piss with me thats why i let it go, but you came back to confirm just how full of your self you are. Now to adress you about your second weak dig, Before posting this thread I looked back through the post to see if i could find one like this n i couldnt, if there is one im so sorry for wasting your time having to read it mate, have a look at your last line there after you tried to belittle me, Your words here again on my thread ''Whatever,....... its like this, they are there, hate em or love them, COLLECT THEM OR LEAVE THE HOBBY'' mate pull your head out of your arse, what a high n mighty legend in you little lunchbox you are, who the f**K do you think you are, the vintage starwars deity, mate you should be ashamed of yourself..... I have been nothing but warm n thankful since ive started in this place and every body i have spoken to has been the same on here, im not going to let a self important toll like yourself change my opinions i have on here of others, but just be aware, every body is on different levels of their collecting, you might be at the self promoted god level, but not every body else is, you telling me to leave the hobby, or i have lost my imagination because i have a different view than you is pathetic, i dont like to have to say these things on such a pleasant n supportive forum, but mate you let yourself down, and you let all collectors down with your self important arrogant dribble, cheers mate, and remember to have a good look in that mirror if the reflection isnt already warn our, and give your self a healthy uppercut..........

OK guys, that's it.
I would strongly advice you to ignore each other for the rest of the weekend.
or (less favored option) take it to PM from now on.
It's up to you, but at least you stop your little argument here.
