I’m a bit stunned we are finally getting them, it’s felt like a pipe dream for so long. I’ll be really glad to finally cross these off the list.

Now onto the next question, who will take the Tonnika’s place at the top of wishlists for the next 20 years?  :P

It really is a great moment for the collecting community, I am so glad it is finally happening.

I’m not sure who would top the list of unmade figures now. Ackmena maybe?  :D

Yeah but they made him as a figure already. I thought we were just talking about characters that had never been realized in plastic form.

Ah okay.  I always think of things as pre or post 1995.

Hallelujah the great dream has become a reality. Really shocked we’re getting the Tonnika Sisters finally. Of course it happens just months after I finally finished my 15 year long customs of them…

We all thank you for your sacrifice.  Can you please finish work on a custom Tzizvvt and Yerka Mig so Hasbro makes those too?  :D

So we don't have Rob to thank for commissioning customs of the Tonnikas for several hundred dollars????

No, the custom ones he bought were Kenner style.  If Hasbro announces Retro Collection Tonnikas then we'll give Rob credit.  :D

It’d be an interesting choice for a retro set given how they only seem interested in new figures for non-OT shows and films.

But, one figure sold twice with a new paint job would definitely be attractive to Hasbro.

Meanwhile, the Stan solo stuff is so high quality that once those ship I can’t imagine caring too much if Hasbro produced them later.

LOL you are welcome Jeff!  ;D

I did also do a Yerka Mig too recently ( https://www.instagram.com/p/C1pWX-dOKc2/?igsh=em9jY3RtcG1iOGZp for the shameless plug) but would fully support Hasbro to steal my thunder again haha

I've given this some thought, and Ackmena is probably 1 for me, but 2 would be this fella.
