I put on this amazing shirt by Squadron Goals and started thinking about all of the awesome Prequel merch that I collected over the years. I was looking through some of the older collectibles I have here at home (a lot of it is in storage at my parent's place) and I found my Star Wars Attacktix Battle Figures by Hasbro.
The figures were sold in starter sets, battle masters packs, and blind package booster packs (which came with multiple figures). Each figure has a certain "tix" or speed that you use by moving the base along a surface and hearing a clicking sound. The object of the game is to knock over the other opponent's figures either by swinging a figure with a melee weapon or shooting a figure with a projectile and be the player with the last figure standing.
I got a booster pack of three and pulled Padmé Amidala (I cannot get over the fact that she's pregnant, though they gave her no belly, and she has the biggest gun ever), a V-Wing Pilot and a Magna Guard. I liked these figures so I'm a little shocked that these were the only ones that I had from this collection. I'm thinking that I probably wasn't into the concept of the game and would've rather continued my investments in the action figures. However, my brothers had a bunch of these! I remember picking up their Anakin Skywalker figure for the first time and being super upset because the title of the figure didn't say Anakin, it said Darth Vader, which was a huge spoiler since Revenge of the Sith hadn't yet been released. I knew at that point that he would be given his new name before wearing the suit. It's kind of funny now but I'll never forget it!

There's a decent selection of these figures from multiple series available on the Amazon website. I've also seen a variety of loose and packaged figures on eBay and Mercari if you're interested.
