Denny too many characters are being thrown here as wishlist. You said if many want it then you can check, but there are too many!

Why dont you make it easier on us and narrow the options to 5 or 10 options, and then we would do a voting, and the one with the most votes you can confirm to us if it will be done or not!

 

[greatlakes6]

I'm still voting for original Star Trek, Kirk and Spock.

 

[ricardobsn]

Charlie Harper, Sloth, Ferris Buller and Tony Soprano v2

 

[jagzz]

I vote for john marston!!, definitely want a 1/6 figure of him!

But, I would like to get this guy..

Very underrated movie, and I think vigo give a very outstanding performance in eastern promise.

I guess what I’m attracted to and my collecting habits have changed. A couple of years ago I wanted anything and everything meaningful to me represented in 1/6 in my collection. Regardless of how boring or bland, it was all about my connection to the source material. But as time went on I realized it’s all about posibility (for me at least). Once I start getting bored of a fig I switch it up, find a perfect new pose and boom… I’m in love all over again. I’m not a stand guy and I’m not a static pose guy; it doesn't have to be an extra dramatic or extreme pose necessarily, but it does have to be something interesting and have personality. Good accessories and 2nd sculpts are also a big help in adding more posing options and variety
So where I once REALLY wanted things like Dirk Diggler now I say to myself, “for what”? So he can stand there with no accessories in one or two different poses and do absolutely nothing? Even with the best of sculpts and the finest of paint and Kato/Yunsil quality clothes… that will get played after a while. There are things on the blander side that I’ve made exceptions for and things that I still will (like Goodfellas, Reservoir Dogs, etc.), but I’m starting to desire the Forest Gump type figs a lot less nowadays (although Forest may still be on the exception side of the fence). If I’m not deeply connected enough to the source material to overlook blandness, then a custom fig has to have a fair amount of flavor for it to be worth the $500-$1000 to me and the space it requires.

That said, I’d be all over a Michael & David duo and Born on the 4th Cruise definitely makes the cut!!

... please?

I'm dying for Orange, Blonde, White, Pink, Joe & Eddie but the guys in suits would have to be done the right way physique wise.


My biggest Iminime wants:











Where is the Heat & Princess Bride love people?!?!?

This is a really interesting observation. For what it is worth, I have felt the same way: source material overrides how toyetic the figure is. As time has gone on, however, this has proven to not always be so prominent. Figures like the Lethal Weapon guys - actors and characters I love - have grown stale to me, as well as Leon the Professional, a movie that was always in my top 25. At the same time, ultra cool action figures like my HT GI Joe ninjas have also failed to hold interest, with that lackluster movie playing a big role. So I have found myself looking for a blend: fun figures that have a strong personality as well as characters I have a connection to. That being said, I have no interest in stuff like Andy and Red from Shawshank Redemption despite that being one of my favorite movies, yet I am still own RM's Doc Holliday despite being somewhat lukewarm on the film. I adore Dirty Harry and No Country but my VM Harry and RM Anton really do not see a lot of action and get a little stale sometimes. So it definitely depends.

That being said, my thirst for guys like the Heat trio, Axel Foley, and Mad Max are all at their peak, as they perfectly slip into that awesome-looking-yet-also-from-memorable-source-material bracket. And the Princess Bride guys! I'd love Inigo and the Dread Pirate Roberts.

Pop!!! We agree! Princess Bride hell yes!!!!!!

Wasn't the first time brother, and I'm sure it won't be the last :wink1:

Totally agree. And that's what I meant if I didn't express myself clearly. It has to be a good balance of an interesting figure and a strong connection to the source material. The connection to the character & movie for me come first and foremost; I personally never bought anything solely because I liked it as a figure (although there were a couple of things that have tempted me). I'm surprised that you use Leon and Anton as examples of that though. I thought that Leon had a really nice spread of goodies that would give him a lot of versatility to keep him fresh; and for me Anton's accessories are awesome and give him some good versatility too.

I'm all for Foley too! Should've put that as a top Iminime want too. I believe they have that ZCWO AA Slim body accessible so a pt. 1 shouldn't be too hard to pull off.

The heat guys remind me of Bateman. Guys in suits with the right accessory spread to keep them exciting. We need to start organizing the Heat interest. They have been getting shouts for the longest time by a good amount of different people but it was never all at once and concentrated. I think they would get a fair amount of attention if an official interest thread was made.

I wish Inigo and The Man in Black would pick up some steam. CULT CLASSICS!!!

 

[DKA8976]

I love Anton and his accessories really make him pop (his silly hair does too) it is just that he is such a static character. Throughout the movie, he has an economy of movement that sets him apart and plays to his menace - he moves stiffly. So when I displayed him, there isn't a lot of action with him: either he stood holding his tank, stood holding his shotgun, or stood holding both. He doesn't have the personality of a Doc Holliday or a Blondie or a Tyler. Everything is rigid and direct. It still is a very impressive figure, I just feel it is limited with display options.

Leon just hasn't clicked with me. His outfit is a little bland aside from the headwear - it is all white, gray, and black. The harness is cool and so is the case, but I never went about the mods necessary to bring it up to par. I also really need to body swap him - I think that will help. I definitely feel like I should put a bit more time into the figure and it may work for me - I haven't given up on him, I am just a bit disappointed.

I'd love to get the go ahead from Denny to get an interest list started for the Heat guys. I really do think there is enough interest for them, although Iminime might be a little gun-shy with all of their sets that they have lined up (Oz, BrBa, Goodfellas).

 

[PopCultKid]

I'm pissed I missed on Leon. A couple of years ago I had it in my hands in Forbidden Planet when it was fresh on the shelves and going for retail. I decided to think about it and when I went back the next week to pull the trigger they were sold out :slap

It would be nice to hear more people chime in here about the Heat boys so convincing Denny to start a interest thread would be that much easier

Haha I know! Great minds think alike, just referring to the Go-go discussion haha

 

[IKE-CON]

Yet another show on A M C that is really becoming good.

It has lots of well written characters both good/evil and has gotten better with
each new season.

I'd love to see Mr Bohannon from H. O. W.

 

[jagzz]

John constantine would be awesome..
