Not yet. I saw a pic of the WIP sculpt, but last I heard it was pretty much taken back to square one in an attempt to get it closer to perfection.
I was admiring the Ra's figure today, and a thought struck me of what would be an awesome figure that Iminime could make some serious money taking on:

Zod is a great idea actually. HT has given no indication of taking him on, so anyone with CR Supes would be mighty tempted if it's done well.

Tbh Zod and his comrades in the 2D prison would be enough for me :lol

Young Ra's Al Ghul, from TDKR with the Merc outfit, AK47 and everything he has on him when he finds Bane in the pit.
Would be a really cool Batman and military figure IMO.

There can never be enough Batman figures! :lol
I would just like to see IMINIME step out of there comfort zone a bit. Most of their releases so far have been in suits or something close. I'd like to see them tackle characters like Legolas, Skip Engblom, The Pineapple Express Trio, etc.

Bateman Bateman and Bateman... Taxi Driver will surely be done by Rainman so with the overwhelming support shown to Bateman for a long time here... I think its time for The Wall Street Executive incharge of Murders and Executions to come to life

I like to see Iminime stay out of some of the well worn territories inhabited by HT and EB and focus on fan favorite franchises, characters and designs.
Zod and Ursa from Superman II would be great.
Again, more Matrix figs like Trinity, Morpheus, Twin, Persephone, Merv and Niobe.
Would also be in for in the following:
Tombstone: Wyatt Earp, Johnny Ringo and Curly Bill
Gladiator: Maximus
Troy: Achilles, Hector
What would really be amazing is if Iminime were to take on the real heavy hitters like Star Wars, Star Trek and LotR.

Ironman1188
SO BE IT
Sooo, stay away from HT and EB but redo all the Star Wars and LOTR that Sideshow already did?
And, as far as Star Trek, I can't imagine better versions or more attention to detail than the nanjin versions.
I will agree that we need to see "NEW" 1:6 offerings and not just more reimaginings of the same things we've seen a dozen or more times already.
agree tired of the wolverines ,batmans john mcclanes can we see something new never done before .
u forgot the avengers lol bateman needs to be done hes been in the shadows for way too long plus iminime wuld do an awesam job on his suit and accessories he needs to come with headphones too

You already know how I feel about Mick & Mal!!!
Don't know if I need Jake. I REALLY need Alonzo. I think he's right up Iminime's ally. His jacket is a slightly different and baggier version of what they did for Mills.
WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE THEM GO DEEPER INTO THE RABBIT HOLE
BUT OF COURSE MY # 1

This was the second part of my reply and more "blue sky" thinking.
I said it would be great *IF* they could get SW, ST and LotR. Which wouldn't happen anyway without a proper (and expensive) license. And SS is not HT or EB. Sideshow's crappy human sculpts are what has kept me out of the LotR and SW lines for the most part (I bought a few and subsequently sold them after seeing how horrible they were). Sideshow is doing a nice job on the Aliens, Droids and Armored characters, but the humans were terrible. Yes, HT has Luke coming and a few more announced but we've seen how slowly that's been going. Iminime's sculpts look much nicer than SS's and they are hungrier than Hot Toys, so it would be great to have a producer on it that could deliver a high quality line of humans. Regarding Nanjin's Star Trek, I have those and they are fantastic. But you're talking about a small custom operation as opposed to a mid-size company who might be able to have a real go at the property. Iminime is at that middle tier between the big guns like HT and EB and the limited edition artists like Rainman and Serang. HT and EB have a bunch of licenses but are constantly retreading and/or overlapping on the same characters--Batman, Terminator, Bruce Lee, Iron Man, Rambo, rinse, repeat. It would be nice to have Iminime and a few other hungry, mid-sized companies in that niche of high quality $250-$350 figs of fan favorite characters.
I'm guessing here, but let's say on average HT and EB probably sell 500-1000 units per character release (Batman and Iron Man are likely at the higher end which is why you see so many versions). Rainman and Serang's runs are 10-20. So I'd figure Iminime and other mid-sizers would be looking for characters where they can do runs of maybe 50-100. That being the case, I would think they want to produce characters that are recognizable and have a decent sized fan base.
