Movies & TV shows you wish had figures?

[3 3/4"collector]

i was insane for fantasy figures as a kid, i loved the clash of the titans/dungeons and dragons/dragonriders of the styx type lines.

but i would have given anything for krull figures!!!
i still cant believe the conan films never had figures!

i have still never gotten over the fact that V the series never had figures either other than the 1 12" figure.

[10incher]

Yeah, its pretty stupid that they put out a Love Boat Line but skipped on V and a few other cool movies and shows.

[Deleted]

ferris bueller, beverly hills cop, captain n', and no major dad toys, man what a cash cow they coulda had.

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

galtar and his golden lance. orbots....they did make a prototype but sadly it was never made and V should have made the starwars style figs they showed in the show

[figurasdeaccion]

- Back to the Future. Figures from Marty McFly and Doc Emett Brown, with a Delorean vehicle that includes a Marty exclusive figure with the chemical overall.

- Saber Rider american figures, not those impossible-to-find japanese Bismarck figures.

- Dungeons & Dragons RPG Worlds, not from the cartoon or those unknown characters from the LJN line. I mean, Drizzt Do'Urden, Raistlin, Caramon, Tanis, Elminster, Strahd von Zarovich, etc., etc.

-Seinfield, like Seinfield himself, Kramer, George, the Bubble Boy, etc.

[jeffcorrell]

The last starfighter had some unproduced concept stuff made but it was never released. Those would have been very neat.

-Jeff

[treckmeyer]

I gotta say that Krull and the Last Starfighter would have been the best!!!!
And Galtar & his Golden Lance! That show rocked. I managed to pick up a DVD of that show. Not very good quality, but it's not all that popular either, so I have to take what I can get.

[WishItWas1984]

Oh boy now you've got me started...

-Spaceballs - Who doesn't want a Dark Helmet!?!

-Batman!!! - noooooooooo, not every cartoon and movie you're thinking of. I'm talking the 1960's TV show!!! Who the hell doesn't want Yvonne Craig's shimmery Batgirl figure?! Or Adam West & Burt Ward as Batman & Robin!? Or every damned villain ever!!?? Can you imagine the George Romaro "Joker" figure with a horribly covered-up black mustache painted white? ARGH I'd kill for those.

-Firefly/Serenity - Ok, 3 characters have figs, but the sculpts are average. Better sculpts and the whole crew damnit!

-Arcade - Yeah it's weird, but I'd love some PVC or micro statues of classic arcade characters/ships. That look just like the arcade. Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, ship from Galaga, Donkey Kong, etc.. Or the arcade cabinets with lenticular screens.

-Star Wars Rocks - There's a limited edition poster from the late 1990s that was offered in the Star Wars Insider magazine. I have one (not framed yet) and it was painted by Hugh Fleming. It's got to be my favorite SW image next to the classic posters. I want all of them as a playset on a stage: (or at least Leia)

-Flash Gordon - Not the classic toon, I'm talking about the awesome campy 80's flick. "HAWKMEN...DIIIIIVE!!"

-Teri Hatcher & Dean Cain as Lois & Superman

-Misfits of Science - Old 80's TV show that never lasted

-Margot Kidder & Chris Reeve as Lois & Superman

-The Honeymooners - Ok, just Ralph & Norton.

[mannyscollectibles]

time bandits and galtar totally!

[robomonkey]

-Spaceballs....Mega-Maid!!!!

-Princess Mononoke- You could have huge wolves,apes, and boars, the figures to ride them, and I'd be all about army building Kodamas

-Dark Crystal- I know they've done some Gelflings, but I'd like to see the entire line.

-Home Movies- McGuirk, Brendon, Jason, Melissa, Walter & Perry, Props, movie sets, ect

-Princess Bride

-Neverending Story- Atreyu, Rock biters, a huge luck dragon.

[wraith]

A 33/4" V line with figures & vehicles would have made my childhood dream come true.I loved that show!

[gort]

As a kid I was desperate for a battle of the planets / G-force / gatchaman (whatever you wanna call it) 3 3/4" figure line. I got hold of a gatchaspalten and a swallow helico eventually but they were never in the cartoon we got over here.

Dark Crystal and Last Starfighter would have been great too.

A Blakes 7 line would have been cool, but maybe that's a UK thing

Dude, they made G-Force action figures a couple years back. You can find a complete set on eBay for not much money. The whole team plus Zoltar. Mark had two versions. One w/ helmet and one w/o.

Also, little PVC figures have been made in Japan. I have a set where they each came with a clear figure stand. When all the figure stands are placed together, it makes one large G-Force emblem.

[gort]

I remember those when they came out, but I didn't go for them at the time. I'll keep an eye out for some loose ones on ebay though, thanks for the reminder

Those PVC figures sound interesting, I'll look into them when funds allow.

[10incher]

Actually Popy put out a set of 3 3/4" Battle of the Planets figures in the late 1970s. i think they were released only in France though. I have the set of 5, but am missing their guns and 1 helmet. I have a spare Jason missing his gun I would probably sell. I will post some pics this weekend.

[luke]

yes yes gatchaman pics please

back to the future good call

yes mego why no smokey and the bandit? (it was released the same week as star wars)

I always wanted figures for Airwolf (proper ones, i know glasslite released some sets but i want better than that.

Monkey - anyone like Monkey Magic? fantastic japanese series, maybe they made them over there in the 70s anyone know?

Ulysses 31

Dogtanian and the Muskehounds - they would have made great figures and loads of characters to

[madmartigan37]

Space:Above and Beyond figures and vehicles
Boondock Saints action figures would rock

[judgedoom]

Space: Above and Beyond, yes that would be awesome.

One figure I always wanted was ED 209 from Robocop, but this wish is finaly going to be granted: Kotobukiya is releasing a set of trading figures later this summer.

More so rumors have it, that Hottoys is going to bring out an 12 inch version of ED 209 later this year. This is going to be so coooooool !

[matt]

This could have been done already, I'm not sure cause I personally haven't seen the figures, and if it has been done great, if not they should. My vote goes to Constantine. There are so many figs and playsets that could come out of this movie. I think the hell scene or the demons if done right would look amazing, or the chair, I could go on and on about what could be done. Heres hoping

[1eyery]

I really wish the original Highlander had it's own series - I'm not a big fan of the Sideshow Kurgan.

[madmartigan37]

Highlander would be great, with Connor, Duncan, Ramirez, Kurgan. But only stuff from the first movie and TV show, not the last 3 movies, they sucked.

[10incher]

Highlander, Last Starfighter and Krull all would have been cool. I was thinking Beastmaster as well. If remco made them they would go perfect with their other lines. How about Dragonslayer! The Dragon figure would have been awesome!

[1eyery]

I would love to have the Dragon from Dragonslayer!

But I'd really like a Kurgan from Highlander in the Bone-Armour you saw him wearing in his 1st scene


I'd also love to see figures for the HBO series' "Carnivale" and "Dead Like Me" and a full line of figures for "Killer Klowns from Outer Space" and "Deadly Alien Spawn".

I would also love to have an ED-209 from Robocop and I think Dark Crystal & Seinfeld lines would rock!

[gort]

A couple of others that should have had figure lines are The Prisoner TV series (Mego style would be cool) and The Warriors Movie.

I know Mezco put out some Warriors figures recently but I'm not a fan of the cartoon-ish look, I'd prefer a GI Joe style.

The TV series Monkey would have made for some cool figures, too

[Deleted]

also some saved by the bell, degrassi high and maybe beverly hills 90210. Revenge of the nerds done by mcfarlane would be good too.

[salvatore]

I know this may sound kind of odd, but i've always wished that "The Godfather" trilogy had some type of figure line associated with it, whether it be action figures, character busts, or hell, even those little Kubrick figures. It would by no means be a children targeted toyline, but more of a guilty pleasure for us die-hard Godfather fanatics. Think of the possibilities, Luca Brassi with fish wrapped in newspaper, a horses head, the don in tuxedo. Endless.

[gort]

Now you mention it, I'm surprised someone hasn't done a Kubrick style Godfather line
