Action figures are considered the 'mainstay' for toy collectors, and not only for Star Wars. Those that I collect belong only to the 3 and 3/4 inch sizes, not others like 6 inch and 12 inch ones (because they're expensive). I collected several figures before Episode I (aka TPM) but I've since opened them up for display. After collecting almost the entire collection from TPM, I look to get the majority of figures from Episode II (AOTC).

The new Saga Line (Blue carded, as shown above) marks the arrival of AOTC . It has more of a 'vintage' look like what the original packaging of the Orignal Trilogy (OT) figures. This new line boasts figures which can re-enact action sequences from the movie, like flips, shooting projectiles and props.

From Left to Right: Tusken Raider, Captain Typho, Imperial Royal Guard, Tuan We, Jar Jar Binks, Geonosian Warrior, Bobafett, Jango Fett, Clone Trooper & Battle Droid

This is the red-carded line which made its debut when Episode I: The Phantom Menace was released in 1999. It's also known as the Comm-Tech Chip Line as each figure comes with its own computer chip which can be played back for the sound clips from the movie.

From Left to Right, Top to Bottom: Chancellor Valorum, Senator Palpatine, Ric Olie, Darth Sidious, Gasgano, C-3PO, Padme Amidala, Jar Jar Binks, Anakin Skywalker, Qui Gon Jinn, Watto, Ody Mandrell.
