Seriously though, most everyone would trade organs for Blade Runner but that license is so damn hard to get due to a myriad of factors that it feels like bootlegs are the only way it is ever going to happen.

so messed up... hahahaha

Nuff Said!

but so perfect. How did storm troopers actually manage to destroy someone?

i think they where pretending to be Tuskin Raiders so thats why the torched them right?

A lot of good ideas posted...

Pretty cool that Super7's reading these.

Hope some of these suggestions see the light.

There are so many I'd like to see exist in this style. One that I'd Really like to see made, and happens to have a small pool of interesting characters, is John Carpenter's "Big Trouble In Little China". A few reasons why I think it'd work so well, besides the obvious reason of it kicking ass : there could be a special Three Storms 3pk, there's the Lo Pan variants, aaaand there's also an AWESOME humanoid beast monster. There's also that eyeball spherical creature that could come as a smaller accessory to another figure...



Okay. Now I've got myself excited for nothing.

I can see it now

I've always wanted to see Divine from "Pink Flamingos" or "Female Trouble" turned into toy form. Action figure might not be the best form for that though. I was thinking maybe a collab with Duplo?

One of the all time best movie scenes

My vote is for this set:

^^^ hee ... I remember the starwars special with the wookie family..it was so lame even back then when starswars was like a god

Big trouble in little China would be rad, it has the right amount of cornball and cool mythology

SO is it true.... Back to the future 3 3/4 S7 figs?

I'd be all over that.

these are great!

I have lightning, lo pan, and wang.

What Gadrylla said, x a billion- BUCKAROO BANZAI figures, please!!! SWITCHABLE LECTROID HEADS! Asylum variant Lizardo with tongue electrode! Everybody need see Buckaroo... figures could be timed for release with the movie's 30th anniversary next August. There has been a long dearth of good BB merchandise; promoted well, I think such a line could be as big a sales success as Alien, really. (Bears mentioning, though, that rights acquisition could make attempting the same for Blade Runner look easy, in comparison (aforementioned historic dearth of merch owes entirely to this...).)

Here is a pic I promised to post a few years ago, sorry but I have been living out of boxes waaaay to long! Anyway these are from AVIVA of the Dark Crystal figures. It is interesting to note that a few of each is known to exist so it is likely these were salesman samples to pitch to retailers who turned their nose to them at the time! This means the prototype tooling was mastered and the production molds exist in Hong Kong somewhere. AVIVA, for those who may not know was a side brand of some company named HASBRO; so maybe they have info on the whereabouts of the molds?

I would love to see ReAction produce these one day!

^ You just blew my mind. Dark Crystal has been a legendary movie to me since I was young. I can't even describe what it meant to me. So criminally underrated or unseen altogether, and I still to this day cannot understand how nearly no merchanise was ever released promoted alongside it. Though maybe this is actually part of what made/makes it still such a perfect film to me - it stands all on its own and hasn't been given the marketing treatment.

I had heard about the prototype figures, but they were always one of those vague toy rumours (I am sure many toy nerds like us have a library of things they have "heard were made"). Even more so than the Alien figures, which I had at least seen the mockups of. Anyhow, I am still staggered, so I will just keep staring at those carded figures in awe. You, sir, have some real treasure right there.

Red Sonja and Connan The Barbarian movie figures would be nice. Im really surprised they have not been done yet.

Awesome post kichigai!!

You need to start up a thread in Show Your Collection and let us know what else is in those magical boxes of yours..

Conan does seem overlooked and yet obvious. The Remco figures were not too bad but I never cared for that 'body' type on figures. I do not own the DC figures in that pic I posted, I was talking with someone on here about a year ago about various unmade toys that have existing prototypes and I recalled having saved some pics of them. Here is another:



Flash Gordon Animated series are the main ones I always wanted to see pics of but although I have talked with several folks who claim to have seen a series 3 in the form of in house concept art; no pics seem to be anywhere on line. Mego had Thundarr prototypes in the works but the Love Boat toy line is where they put the money!

Here is a pic of the Mattel Flash Gordon figures:



Then there are the Mattel Clash of the Titans unmade figures.......

Hell yes! I so wanted (and still desire) more of this line. A swamp playset or Medusa's island would have been so sweet. I never really understood this line. Why they would make a figure like Charon, but not others (like Medusa)? But no matter what, the Kraken toy will remain one of my all time favourite things to be made while I still have capacity to think on such matters.

I'd like to see mask and sky commander figures.

I'm surprised you guys haven't done Evil Dead series yet!! You could make tones of cool figures for the whole 3 movies done in Kenner style plus ones for the upcoming series.




Actually I think Mattel is talking about Remaking them. Theres huge talk on the Matty forums about the figures. Done in the MOTUC style. However I'm sure Super 7 could ask them to do a Kenner stylized sized version.

Obviously these are'nt a movie tie-in but i'd
love to see the Tomland 'STARROID RAIDERS' from the 70's.

I wonder how well these Tomland figures would do in the current market.

I'm in, as long as they keep the squishy heads.
