Theoretically? I think it probably does. But when you get into the specifics of that kind of offering, how much new ground is getting covered? How many are absolute "Must Haves" that have never been made before? How many would be an exercise in "Checking A Box" by releasing a character that's been previously made, but just may not be in TVC? And how many figures from previous lines are not close to being up to spec?
If I were to specifically come up with 12 Cantina characters for a theoretical Haslab figure dream pack, I think we might start getting into some questionable territory because of some basic criteria.
-Should any of the original Kenner 20 back Cantina aliens be included? I'm leaning towards no. IMHO those should be mainline figures, and include: Ponda Baba (Walrusman), Momaw Nadon (Hammerhead), Greedo, and Zutmore (Snaggletooth).
-How many all-new characters should comprise the 12?
-How many comparable costumes would be acceptable? Looking specifically at the characters in flight / space suits like BoShek, Danz Borin & Cantina Dude
My 12 would include:
-Ellors Madak
-Baniss Keeg
-Djas Puhr
-Takeel
-Morlimor Snugg (Blue Snaggletooth)
-Lak Sivrak
-Melas
-Dannik Jerriko
-Lirin Car'n
-Ownellco
-Danz Borin
-Tzizvvt
Would 6 re-sculpts and 6 new characters satisfy most people? Or would you want to see more all-new characters?
