Re: Figures you want that they'll never make (properly)
The Simpsons guest stars line is releasing a Weird Al figure in that style, so that's something, at least. They're also doing other versions of the main characters, like a radioactive Mr. Burns, so maybe they'll get to that one – though they might just be making characters that interact with the guest stars, so never mind.anarky wrote: UHF

None of this super-deformed, retro-style, whatever. Real figures that kick ass and rank among the best of today's figures.
And definitely none of the "one kickass figure, but he has no friends" bullshit, either. And definitely not the Palisades/Toy Biz bullshit where they say they're going to make every character possible, then leave a lot of important ones for later, and the line dies long before they get to those. (Why the fuck did we never get Guy Incognito as a figure, but there were multiple variants of Burns and Moe?)
I mentioned Pee-wee in my first post in this thread in 2008 to mention that NECA was re-releasing/re-molding/whatever the old figures. I thought the plan was to make more as well, but lots of Pee-wee-related plans seem to get brought up over the years and then never come to fruition (see: the myriad times he's said he's working on another movie).
Posts online say that Firefly will be getting the 6" Legacy Collection treatment from Funko, meaning they'll look cool but have too much paint and easily breakable joints. I'm not sure where it was confirmed, but that seems to be the general online buzz.
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

I'm not gonna lie - I saw the Firefly figures listed (at $9.99 each!) and I got a little hard.

"previews exclusive" jayne with knit hat is so much better than the 'regular' version. $20 a pop, though, ouch...

I am a little surprised there is no River in wave 1.

The TV/Movie robot would be pretty cool. Last month I got a Robby the Robot by Johnny Lightning from a Lost in Space line they did. It was loose, so it was pretty cheap. It's about the size of a Hot Wheels car.

I have a 24 inch classic B9 they released in 1998, but I've always wanted a smaller, 6-8 inch version.

Marvel Legends. The three come in a TRU exclusive three pack.

Damn. I have Black Widow in with my Joes. Coulson would be a nice addition.

Re: Figures you want that they'll never make (properly)
$54.99 for all three. I hesitated, but I really wanted a Coulson. $18.33 each if you break it down, which is cheaper than the average of $19.99 (or $22.99 at TRU) per figure.
