One surprising and a bit confusing of a new line coming out in the recent months has been the rebranded Galaxy of Adventure line from Star Wars Hasbro that went from 5POA repacked figures, to fully articulated cartoon stylized figures in 5 inch form based upon the youtube shorts! I think that while more lines of figures probably isn't what Hasbro needs to be doing with Star Wars, these figures I think do look like a lot of fun and for kids who don't have higher priced figures, these are easier for parents to pick up. Of course, adults can get them too, and there are a few I'd be interested in seeing in the line! I like the cartoon look and imagining what certain characters would look like in this figure format seems like a lot of fun, so while I haven't watched the youtube shorts and am not sure about which characters have and haven't' appeared in them; these are my top 5 most wanted Star Wars Galaxy of Adventures figures.

5. Palpatine
This is the big daddy of the Star Wars universe and the big bad above all else. Palpatine made a big return in the 9th film of the Skywalker saga recently, and I think that he deserves to be in the Galaxy of Adventures toyline, in whichever outfit is chosen. I think that in this cartoon fashion, it could be fun to have the terrifying Palpatine transformed into a misproportioned cartoon.

4. Leia
Leia is a huge character in the Star Wars mythos and the line is only just starting so I can forgive them a little for this character not being including, but with subsequent waves of the line she definitely need to be included. I know that a few shorts featured her so there's precedent for her appearance in the line, and I think that every line should be giving us every version of Leia to celebrate her character.

3. Padme
This is one of my personal favorite characters of the saga and while the prequel trilogy so far hasn't seen a lot of a footprint in this line, I think that could definitely change and for the better as many of the characters were wildly toyetic and would look even more toyetic in cartoon form. My choice for Padme would be her red Queen garbs from the Phantom Menace and the red would especially pop in this fashion.

2. Imperial Stormtrooper
So far the only kind of troopers in the line have been the Sith and First Order Jet troopers, but I KNOW for a fact that Hasbro have to be working towards an original trilogy Stormtrooper in the release schedule. It is one of the most iconic Star Wars items and a constant staple of nearly every Star Wars toyline that comes out; and Hasbro for sure loves their troopers.

1. General Grievous
Speaking of the prequel trilogy from a moment ago, there is no character that would be more toyetic and impressive as a figure than Grievous. He was a multi armed robotic organism with multiple lightsabers and an intimidating design that would for sure look even more interested when translated into this softer, rounder cartoon form. For the moment the line seems to be sticking with the larger characters rather than any background characters, and if this keeps up it might not be too long until the Separatist general joins the line!
