I think the Imperial Guard and the Biker Scout are two of the best figures in the line in terms of sculpt, but I have a soft spot for smiley Chewie who was my first Star Wars figure. Jedi Luke is also a favourite. I too sported a beige corduroy jacket in the 90s, though it was inspired more by Eddie Vedder than by Bespin Luke. A commendable fashion choice there!

[@AllThings80s]

You can't beat a bit of beige corduroy. LOL 👍🏻

I remember the pure endorphin rush that flooded my four year-old brain when I found a Greedo figure in my Christmas stocking . . . that figure, along with the Tusken Raider my mother bought me from Play Co. toys and the Death Star Droid I received from my dear grandmother the following Easter are my all-time top three Star Wars figures because I vividly remember the sheer excitement I felt when I got them.

[@AllThings80s]

Nice one 👍🏻

[@jamiepike6909]

X Wing Pilot just for the colours. Enjoyed that one Dean.

[@AllThings80s]

X-Wing Luke almost made my top ten. 👍🏻

[@chrisKnight2001]

Bespin Luke and AT AT Driver spot on! Also love R5D4

[@gtproperformer]

Nice Video Dean! A good selection of figures in your top ten...Pilots and At-At Drivers were so cool! Bespin Han and Luke, were my favorites as a kid....I collected all but 2 figures back in the 80s loved all of them! Picked up Paploo and Barada in the late 90s,least favorite are Imperial Dignitary and General Madine. Hope all is good in Thailand!

[@AllThings80s]

Thanks. Everything is going well here. I hope you're well too. 👍🏻

Nice to see Squid Head. He's my number 1. Nice list, couple of surprises there! 👍🐵

[@AllThings80s]

Many thanks 👍🏻

A school friend, back in 1981, also got the Luke Bespin figure. Luke, was my favourite SW character then. I owned the X-Wing Pilot version (which I liked more). I thought the Bespin figure looked okay, but I never really liked the colours - I thought the figure looked boring. I now appreciate the figure more as an adult - especially the brown-haired variant - which I never owned, until a few years ago (same with the brown-haired Tatooine Luke). My favourite Luke is still the original, even if the sculpt was a little basic.

[@AllThings80s]

I actually think of the original Luke figure as being one of the most iconic figures. When I think of vintage Star Wars figures, it;'s the original Luke that always comes to mind.

[@cyrusq5999]

@@AllThings80s Agreed. I never had him as a child, though. The closest I came to owning Tatooine Luke Skywalker was the X-Wing Pilot. The original Luke Skywalker was the first SW action figure I ever saw, back in 1979. The same friend that owned the Bespin Luke, used to bring his figures to junior primary school. That's how I first discovered SW - through the Kenner toys, rather than the film itself. Being the late 1970s, I had other friends that also collected the SW toys (and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA). The same friend would give me his figures after breaking them. He was a good friend. And I started collecting his figures ... 🤣

That's a great list. I'm not usually "petty" about small things, but the yellow lightsaber on Luke (I'm sure it's a common complaint) is the only thing I didn't like about number one. It's your list, and I find no reason to tear it apart because taste is in the eye of the beholder, although there wasn't a bad choice on your list to me...excellent vid

[@AllThings80s]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@BlackArroToons]

Bespin Luke is one of the best, agreed! Nice list. Bib Fortuna too.

[@AllThings80s]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@80sKid.]

Whoa! Farmboy Luke didn't even crack the top ten 😲 I've got him number one, haha. Not just Star Wars, all-time action figures. Bespin Luke would be my runner-up. Definitely played with that figure more than any other. Maybe in the minority but I wasn't too surprised to see the AT-AT Driver and Cloud Car Pilot ranked so high. Stunning figures. Love the colour scheme on AT-AT while Cloud Car has that classic white sci-fi look that's so damn stylish. Elegant, even. Really reminds me of Buck Rogers. Always loved the Cantina Aliens _because_ they're not screen accurate. Those colours just pop. Could prolly only get away with it in the 70s, haha

[@AllThings80s]

I would consider the original Luke to be the most iconic action figure, but for this list, I was basing it on sculpt and value for money.

[@pestopizza2001]

Luke skywalker bespin changed everything for me. I remember buying it in Top Toys, Lordshill, Southampton. I was six years old, standing on tip toes grabbing it from the high up shelf. Strong feelings for this figure when I got home. I then searched my toy tub for my only other star wars figure at the time, which was snaggletooth a present from my uncle two years before

[@AllThings80s]

Excellent 👍🏻

[@randomchipfat937]

Admiral Akbar was my absolute fav Literally my best friend 😂😂

[@AllThings80s]

LOL 👍🏻

[@carlo2384]

Great list! I agree that the original stormie was a bit skinny. A stormtrooper with improved sculpt, swivel neck, and working blaster holster is high on my Stan Solo update wishlist -- along with improved 78 Han and a walrusman with accurate sculpt and detachable arm.

[@AllThings80s]

It would be great if SSC would make those figures. 👍🏻

[@MoparMcNeer]

Solid Top 10, and not just the same old figures that are seen on seemingly all top 10 lists. Really enjoyed your reasoning behind each figure and going through this list with you. Also, your display looks absolutely amazing Dean!

[@AllThings80s]

Thanks Josh. Yes, far too many top ten lists include the characters the people like rather than focussing on the actual figures themselves.

[@acanimations1223]

Nothing controversial about cloud car pilot to me, I loved him as a kid because his communicator arm could be used to make him clutch a blaster wound like he was just shot, making him really cool and therefore he used to be my favourite. (Also I got all my figures from my dads collection and he painted blood on him where he’d be clutching the wound, so it helped add to the play value)

[@AllThings80s]

Nice 👍🏻

[@leebush4053]

Leia Boush, Biker Scout and Gamorian Guard? I agree with AT AT and Tie Fighter pilot. Overall good choices. No. 1 could have been Bespin Luke or Jedi Luke.

[@AllThings80s]

[@gavinhinchcliffe8457]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves the Cloud Car Pilot. I think he's great. The only other figure from your list which would feature in my list would be Bespin Luke. For me it's; 1) EV-9D9 2) Luke Skywalker Bespin 3) Imperial Gunner 4) IG-88 5) Biker Scout 6) 2-1B 7) Hoth Trooper 8) Cloud Car Pilot 9) R5-D4 10) Luke Skywalker

[@AllThings80s]

That's a great list. 👍🏻

[@VantagePointrocks]

Luke in Stormtrooper disguise is the best figure for me. Removable helmet to reveal it was Luke was really cool. But when it comes down to value for money this one had it. As well as being used as Luke on the Death Star, it could be used to bolster the Imperial army in other situations by just keeping the helmet on.

[@AllThings80s]

I'm put off by his pea sized head,, otherwise it's a great figure that can fill two rolls.

[@Damien-q8t]

Genuinely surprised Boba Fett didn't make it on to the list

[@AllThings80s]

It's a nice figure but I just felt the ones I listed had more value.

[@markderbas8820]

Can't argue w/ you about Luke Bespin. One of the best action figures ever made. I too remember how exciting it was ripping him off the card and putting his 2 accessories in his hands. So much play time revolved around this figure as a kid. For my own list I'd probably have to put the original Luke in his place as number one. Something about that figure just screams nostalgia. As for the imperials I agree, Kenner did get better at making the troopers in their various outfits. I recall how excited I was getting the Tie Pilot in my stocking for Christmas. I didn't know anything about the figure until Santa gifted it to me on Christmas Eve. However, the original Stormtrooper is still by favorite of the troopers. There was nothing quite like a fresh off the card minty white Stormtrooper back in the day. The Cloud Car Pilot did throw me off. Not sure he'd even make it in my top 80 Star Wars figures list. Better than an Ewok, thats's for sure but I'd put him just slightly above the skiff guard characters and/or the Bespin guards. Thank again, Dean! Keep the videos coming showing off that beautiful collection!

[@AllThings80s]

Many thanks., 👍🏻

[@ManagerGabeWalters]

Great video, and definitely a great choice for the number 1 figure!! Bespin Luke is my favorite figure as well!!

[@AllThings80s]

[@DavidEdge69]

Do you buy the theory that Mr Tie Pilot was made alongside Mrs Strawberry Shortcake in the same factory? I think I do.

[@AllThings80s]

I believe so. There's no other logical explanation as to why he smelled so nice.

[@DavidEdge69]

He was made out of strawberries? 😃 😀 😄

+1 for the Cloud Car Pilot. Great choice. I'd have to put a Jawa in there, and swap Endor Leia for Boussh. No Boba is a bit odd though? Didn't you get one in the mail as a kid. I remember that like it was yesterday.

[@AllThings80s]

The Boba Fest figure is cool, but I just believe the ones I listed had slightly better values to them.
