Top 16 Clone Wars minifigs?

[hikouki]

My next project is framing my collection of SW minifigs beginning with those from the Clone Wars series.

My collection, I think can fill about 2-3 IKEA Sannahed frames, with positions for about 16 ~ 18 minifigs per frame. The inserts are those that you usually could get on eBay, or even some private manufacturers.

Anyway, any suggestions for which characters I should put in the first frame? I wanted to feature the most important ones. My current list is:

Anakin

Ahsoka

Obi-wan

Yoda

Padme

R2-D2

Clone trooper

Captain Rex

Chancellor

Grievous

Dooku

Droid

Super battle droid

 

So that's about 13 of the most ubiquitous and important characters. Some of my runners up are Mace, Asajj, droideka,, Maul, Cad Bane. But I am curious if anyone might have a slightly different list? Of course, there are several other characters who should be on this list but have not been made in Lego form (Mother Talzin, Satine,etc.)

Question: Are you using the animated figures specifically, or simply figures from the Clone Wars era at large? Or both?

Me personally

1. Anakin (Armor)
2. Obi-Wan (Armor)
3. Ahsoka (S3)
4. Padme
5. Captain Rex (Phase II)
6. Commander Cody (Phase I)
7. Clone Trooper (Phase I)
8. 501st Legion Clone Trooper
9. R2-D2
10. Mace Windu
11. Yoda
12. Plo Koon
13. Palpatine
14. Ki-Adi-Mundi
15. Barriss Offee
16. Luminara Unduli

Thought process: Frame I - The Good Guys, Frame II - The Bad Guys, Frame III - The Extras.

My second would be

1. Dooku
2. Ventress
3. Grievous
4. Battle Droid Commander
5. Pre Vizsla
6. Maul
7. Savage Oppress
8. Nute Gunray
9. Cad Bane
10. Battle Droid
11. Super Battle Droid
12. Commando Droid
13. Geonosian Warrior
14. Death Watch Trooper
15. Supercommando
16. Umbaran Militia

For three missing ones from the initial list, I'd definitely throw Ventress in there, and I'd add Cody too for representation of my beloved 212th. Cad Bane would probably make sense as the last one just to have some bounty hunter representation. But Yularen could be a good pick too, if you can find him for a good price...

C3PO might be nice to include since he's often with R2.

Yes, I did consider doing that! Good guys, bad guys, and supporting cast!

I also have minifigs from the other series and movies. And at least for episode 4, which was the movie that started it all, my first frame will be the first 16 characters that ever appeared, in sequence. However, I think at least two of the astromechs have never been made as minifigs.

I am only using the minifigs which are officially listed on BL as coming from "Clone Wars". I know that all these characters exist as minifigs, but some of them are labeled under one of the prequels. Case in point, Cody.

Many of the minifigs under the series "Clone Wars" on BL have only been made in the style of having those large wide eyes. For the sake of uniformity, I think I will end up populating at least the first two frames with minifigs from that period of production. I know we're getting a new Ahsoka padawan this coming year, but Dooku has never been remade.

Hoping that Lego would remake him as he only exists in the old phase 1 from ages ago. The newer Cody is listed as 'Episode 3'.

Yes, though he does not feature prominently during the 7 seasons of CW.

Which is why I put Phase I Cody.  Though to be fair, I'm not sure how easy he is to obtain nowadays. But, that is a smart way to catalogue them. You could also do one for just the Jedi, one for the clones, just some ideas.

Nor does he have a CW minifigure. Which is honestly an oversight.

Actually, I think Clone Wars might actually fill 3 1/2 ~4 Sannahed frames. The only other comparison is Episode 4 since many of the Episode 5 and 6 characters first appeared there. All other episodes and series have much less. Looking at my frames for Episode 1, many of them are Gungans. LOL. And the last three sequel movies, some can't even complete 16 characters.

Hoping Lego makes more CW characters!
