Aren't they making a Ghostbusters non-animated line? I was looking for McFarlane figures at some online store and thought I saw wave 1 that consists of Gozer, Slimer, and two others.

Slap Shot - McFarlane already did the Hanson Brothers. Now the need to at least make Reggie Dunlap, Killer, Dr. Hook McCraken, and Ogie Oglethorpe.

Blues Brothers - Jake and Elwood Blues. O Yes!

Time Bandits & Ice Pirates would both be cool toy lines as well.

Edit:

Here is the link for the Ghostbusters toys. http://www.necaonline.com/product/listb ... license=76

Upon further review, it appears that these came out in 2004.

That would be freakin' awesome, as would a pimpin' Navin with pimpin' Shithead.

I would also love Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert figures. Maybe they'll make a Tek Jansen or something someday.

I know NECA is re-releasing the old Pee-wee figures but I would also like to see more updated/realistic ones.

Tim & Eric figures would also be killer, though I doubt many would buy them.
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

Ghostbusters is a no go because Bill Murray refuses to grant likeness rights. Douche.

I think NECA is planning on doing new Pee Wee figures. They just started out with vintage stuff.


I love the Back to the Future, Rocketeer and Supertrooper ideas, let me add

Waterworld - Mariner and the Deacon figures would be awesome.

two words: fight club.

"narrator" and tyler with interchangeable "battle-damaged" body parts. and a "'narrator' beats himself up in his boss' office" playset.

and marla.

and robert paulson with interchangeable "regular" and "hole blown through it" heads.

and angel face (with interchangeable not-so angel face.)

He is still bitter from the 2004 Academy Awards... and I completely agree with him. He straight up owned the role of Bob Harris and should have won.
"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."

The Magnificent Seven. Just the Seven, Calvera, and maybe two or three of the farmers. If they really want to cheap out, just Chris, Vin, and Britt.

Pulp Fiction - Jules and Vincent in suits and variants of them in Jimmie's clothes.
Several others from the movie as well would be sweet, but these would kick serious ass!


I love the idea of Anchorman figs, definitely gotta have the whole news team. They would have to be done properly though. :wink:

One word:


McLovin


I'd also buy a Sweeney Todd (from the Tim Burton flick) figure, if he was covered in blood and in a badass pose with his razor.

Ron Burgundy would need to come with Baxter and his jazz flute. Brick would need his hand grenade and trident. I say the first wave should include the original news team (Ron, Brick, Brian Fantana, Champ) and the bear.
