Part Three: Figures Of The Barge - Deep Dive

Figures Of The Barge - Part Three

In Parts One and Two of this series, we looked at figures that will go in your barge. For Part Three we look at the figures who do battle on the deck of the barge. This is actually a partially underserved segment of the Battle of Pit of Carkoon subset of figures, with four figures placing on our Unproduced Skiff Guards / Sail Barge Combatants list. So not only should you get psyched for the Sail Barge because of the following figures you can display on it, it would also be justification for Hasbro to make even more figures. And if the Sail Barge moves to production, we will re-prioritize that list.

Oh, and there's one special canonical Expanded Universe inclusion at the end.

Luke Skywalker, Klaatu, Woof (dead) and Gamorrean Guard (dead)

Luke is about a third of the way through his murder spree at this point.

Recreated with VC87 Luke Skywalker (Lightsaber Construction), VC21 Gamorrean Guard, VC24 Wooof and the POTF2 Klaatu.

As with Yak Face, you don't have to worry about tracking down that POTF2 Klaatu because A NEW ONE IS CONFIRMED FOR 2019! Unfortunately, this is a second Gamorrean Guard you're going to need. I believe there are five total in and on the barge.

Nysad

Nysad practices the skiff guard go to move: hurry up to your murder.

Recreated with the TLC BD23 Nikto Gunner figure..

Nysad was released anonymously as the "Nikto Gunner" in the 2009 Legacy Collection line.

Vizam

Vizam is actually one of the most competent combatants the heroes face in the entire trilogy. He pesters the skiffs with cannon fire until Luke mows him down.

Recreated with the Black Series (Phase I) #17 Vizam figure.

For some unknown reason, that Vizam figure wasn't a fast seller at retail. Now it commands a premium. I don't know why collectors occasionally sleep on Jabba related items. They always go up.

DARTH VADER!

Vader lays down the law with the annoying Salacious Cumb.

Recreated with the VC93 Darth Vader figure and the VC41 Stormtrooper figures.

What? Vader is established on the Sail Barge via a canon source? YUP! Vader and his troopers appear on the Sail Barge in the canonical Marvel Star Wars Volume 2 Issue 4. We were reminded of this fact when our very own Jimmy James reviewed the trade paper back in which that issue was collected.

That VC93 Darth Vader, which is specific to Episode IV, is one of my favorite figures of all time.

Well there it is folks. Our thee part series on the Figures of the Barge is a wrap. Here are the new figures added for part three:

Vintage Collection Luke Skywalker (Lightsaber Construction) (VC87)
To be released 2019 Vintage Collection Klaatu
Legacy Collection BD23 Nikto Gunner (Nysad)
Black Series (Phase I) #17 Vizam
Vintage Collection Darth Vader (VC93)
Vintage Collection Stormtrooper (VC41)

That's six new figures for a grand total of 23 UNIQUE FIGURES that are canonically placed on the Sail Barge, and there's nothing stopping you from cramming ALL of your Jabba's palace figures in there.
