Apparently MC is doing a Big Lob fig?


Anyway this got me thinking.

Of course, I want Wong, a Larry Hama tribute fig, some more improved upon Oktober guard guys (1st era comic packs on well souped up 25th bodies would be something), and the list goes on

but what figure to your mind, would make you, that special brand of skeptic (the kind we all are because our imagination is used up and bright colors don't appeal to us since our vision was ruined by hours upon hours, upon, hours and more of TV, etc.) go

WELL if they did that one, than ANYTHING is possible?

Would a Bongo do anything?

Magda?

Uh, the tv guy named Hector who looks sorta like Ron Burgundy?

Thoughts thoughts thoughts?

Big Lob and the Adventure Team are it. I never thought in a thouasand years we'd see those.

But I'm sure happy we are!

Yea that did toe the line, but once you toe the line, by nature it moves further
so now that those are coming
WHAT ELSE?

At one point it was Kwinn, but now that we have one (i want more btw) it seems plausible (after all BL and AT are for "collectors" so it is logical in a sense, because mass market they are just as pointless as other "new" characters in regards to how the public percieves them-i.e. they like them for the design and story not that they are a 'nod.) and we want more random characters.

I tell you Hard Master was definitely one that did something because he was a 25th inspired Kwinn parallel.

Once i had him though, besides the head, the body seemed not HM enough (too rigid and strong and youthful as opposed to old guy decrepid). Still the character was the key.

I always wanted Dr. Venom as a kid. Then I made one last year. Now I hear there may be one coming.

So I want Billy.

_________________

Yeah but which Billy?

Little kid Billy?

Teenage robo-ninja Billy?

Devil's Due "I'm such a washed up drunk I assumed the name of a rotgut whiskey" Billy?

I really don't have another one. With what we're getting this year all the major wants are filled.

ALL! i want one of those 'TRU' three pack Billy sets... with a mail in 'hanging Billly'

I can't contemplate why we haven't had a Billy yet. With a Billy figure my collection would be complete.

But while we're at it, why not an "obscure comic character" pack with Bongo (bear outfit snap on her like S.N.A.K.E. armor), Her dad (a chubby crimson guard using a porkins mold?), the white clown, and his allies (forget their names).

Also an accurate set of the hard master, blind master, and soft master with Dojo.

The other thing is consider established characters but some unique none standard version (i.e. flint in disguise but weirder, like Roadblock with apron and chef hat as per that one drawing).

I second the Masters thing though IF DONE right (fat guy, blind guy, etc.)

They already have the arashikage thing, and the mold of it lends itself really well to the sort of snap on part modification you see with older vehicles spiffed up with new bling (cooler rocket launchers, colors, etc. etc.)

All I want is an accurate, ARAH style, Kamakura figure. Yeah yeah, I know, never gonna happen.

Kama

While I agree with you on these, for me they loose a little of that "holy crap they're really making those" factor, since it's the Collector Club making them. Small runs of fan favorite, lesser known characters, is what a Collector Club should be about, IMHO.

A mass (Hasbro) release of Bongo / Candy Appel would definitely be high up on the list for me believing "anything is possible". Though I really don't see it happening...

A Cold Slither multi-pack with instruments to play.
Bonus if it includes a soundclip from the cartoon.

The female MP Veteran with prosthetics from the recent comic.

Evilutions Billy.
Billy would be way up there for me. I would get him no matter who made him.

The White Clown would be my OMG moment. Of all the characters from the comic or cartoon, he would be the one character I would least expect anyone to make. He wouldn't sell if mass released. He'd only sell to fans of the comic or completists. So, not even the entire fanbase. He might be neat if slipped into a comic pack but I doubt we'll ever see him since he is current.
