yeah, i suppose if they went a different route. to be honest, i never really liked rainman's versions. so if they did do it, i'm sure they'd come out really well.

i still want me some frank white.

i just saw it again on the new uk blu-ray release - gets better every time bro :clap

What the hell! I thought this was supposed to be a scrapbook of random interests of characters as left field as possible thrown all over!! How come the last few posts have a sincere focus at wanting a single release?

no need to be sarcastic, ankit. a wishlist is just that - a wishlist. the only way you get ideas that gain interest is if someone throws up ideas in the first place, even leftfield ones. maybe someone at iminime sees a leftfield idea, loves it, and decides to carry it through.

this ____ shouldn't just be about business. it's about sharing interests too :dunno

Yeah you are right... I shouldnt have said that maybe... maybe moreso of being frustrated at not getting a Bateman figure focus in the Rainman thread :lol

But you know, sadly it IS about business... iminime or any other company will not make a figure they know will appeal to a little too niche tastes. Because unlike other custom artists they cant keep their prices too high and each unit number too low (thats the only way you can do real niche figures and make a decent profit) as they are slowly trying to break into mass production of licensed figures...

Some ideas here can be realistic.. I would love to tell some of the figures they are making but cant unless Denny allows me to, but I can say though not 'too left field' they are pretty cult characters and popular...

i see, that's a good point :) i suppose other figure makers like rainman can go with more obscure choices coz of the price point. but i do like looking at that thread (and this one) just to see what other people are into. sometimes i even spot a movie i haven't seen that everyone is behind and it makes me take a look. and figures like the dude, doc holliday, bill the butcher, pee wee started out as one person's odd choice that quickly gathered momentum until they became great figures.

Hell yea. And Jimmy Jump if we're still talkin' duos. His outfit would be sick

absolutely required accessory?? a 1/6 briefcase full of 1/6 tampons... "for the 1/6 bulletholes, mother____er!"

WERD! :lol :hi5:


@ Axe: Some Bateman love will kill your frustration? I WANT BATEMAN!

We've all been having fun with these two wish lists. Everyone is chuckin' up their ideas, and no matter how obscure or unlikely it is to get made, they're all still interesting to see. Personally, I'd probably want 80% of whats been mentioned.

But with all the good ideas that's been posted, maybe it's time to get serious and organized, and make some of these a reality. How do we go about it? The poll thing worked in the past right? Maybe we should decide on a realistic list of 5 characters. One for Rainman, one for Iminime. (or does Iminime have their plate full at this point?) We can present it to them
to show there's enough interest and see if their interested in taking it on.

If we're gonna get serious, then we need to be realistic. Obviously Iminime wants to focus on characters that they can sell 50+ of and Rainman will be more willing to take on the more niche cult characters. Not to say he wouldn't do something with more mass appeal, but we all know we can't expect to see anything like Prince Akeem, Sho Nuff or Lo Pan from Iminime (I want all of those BTW:)).

Plainview is next up for RM but who's next? At this point it seems Bickle has the most votes.
 
How was the poll nominated last time? As much as it sucks for me to leave out certain personal favorites, I have a really hard time seeing how these figures wouldn't sell out.

Iminime Preorder Poll
Pick as many options as you believe you would honestly preorder.
1. Bruce Willis Die Hard
2. Daniel Craig Casino Royale
3. Matt Damon Bourne Identity
4. Brad Pitt and Edward Norton Fight Club
5. Pass on all


These guys don't have overly complicated outfits, but they're all iconic and should get a lot of preorders. What do you guys think of my list? Reasonable poll suggestions?

Bbkill has a kick ass bond sculpt, with McClane on the way. Clothing easily bashed.
Jason Bourne, enter bay head and any clothes - ho hum
Fight club done to death, chances are Denny would go to Rainman for his sculpts

My 5 would be

1. The Driver
2. Maverick and Goose in flight gear
3. Blues Brothers
4. Murphy and Lewis Robocop
5. Al Bundy

Aren't BBKill's sculpts unpainted? And I disagree about it being easy to bash Bond's suit. It stands out as it's an extension of his personality IMO.
And the Enterbay Damon is extremely outdated with a bad expression.
Fight Club only done to death for the few who have picked up every release so far. No offense to Rainman, but I think there's still improvements to be made.


Driver as in Gosling? I didn't realize the film was so popular. Loved the first 15 minutes... But it went downhill. Maverick/goose? Hmm, I might be down for them. I'd prefer a Minority Report or Mission Impossible Tom Cruise instead. And I don't really know about the Blues Brothers.
 
Eh....I didn't see much likeness to Pitt in their Detective Mills figure. Not sure why everyone all of a sudden wants them to do Tyler anyways. Fight club has been done to death by a variety of custom artists:dunno
 
My list from Iminime would be;

Tyler Durden
Teddy Daniels
Walter White
 
Tyler is the number one of my list.

He has been done many times but all the head were missing something.

I think they did a great job with Mills and would like to see their take on Tyler.
 
Yes would love to see their take. I still love what Rainman did with his v1 and v2 but would certainly welcome Iminime's take :)
 
I think it was something along the lines of saving $300~ for Neo and $400~ for Gladiator due to the cost in making his armor. I'm really hoping it's his gladiator attire since ACI toys has a pretty good roman general figure coming soon... And his gladiator get up is more iconic IMO.
