What monster toy hasn't been made that you want to own before you die?

[eviljim]

Orville from Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things!

[MrDark1]

12" Chaney Jr as the Mummy.
A set made of the monsters as they appeared in A&C meet Frankenstein!  (available separately too...)

[Mord]

12" Norman Bates -- with Mother accessory.

Anthony Perkins, Vince Vaughn, Freddie Highmore?

[Anton Phibes]

Anthony Perkins.

Fixed that for ya, brah.

[Mord]

Fixed that for ya, brah.

Thanks. I knew I could count on you, buddy. Now, on to Mrs. Bates....Vera Farmiga or ....never mind.

[Anton Phibes]

That would be amazing, especially if they were sculpted as well as the Universal line!

I just had a thought occur. Trick or Treat is doing figures for Halloween/Myers. They have told us they plan Universal. What if....since they have a Hammer license...we finally DO get officially licensed Hammer figures. In 1/6 scale. Hmmmnnnn......

[BRICK]

Interactive, To-Scale, Figure Dioramas (AKA Playsets); highly detailed playsets and accessories for both 4" and 8" figures. Dracula's Castle, Frankenstein's Laboratory, the Rita from CFTBL, the sarcophagus and tomb form The Mummy! All this and more!

[Lazarus]

I'd really like some playsets.  Super7 should do some.  I'd DEFINITELY buy a Rita with a Kay in Bikini.

When I was at the Super7 store in San Diego last summer, I suggested it to the clerk there MULTIPLE times. He said that he would pass on the suggestion, but I haven't seen anything yet.

So let's assume they would produce 15 figures like the Universal line. Where would you start? First series one I'd go with Horror of Dracula Lee, Frankenstein Monster Lee, and Lee Mummy. What other Sideshow Hammer figures would you guys add?

[Lazarus]

Well, it's Hammer, so you gotta get some of the ladies in there.  But not having a Cushing in the first wave seems like it ought to be illegal.

[Doh!]

If you don't feel like waiting for a Cushing, you could always redress the Hot Toys Grand Moff Tarkin:

Pricey, but great sculpt.

Back to Norman: I've probably ranted about this before, but who was Bates Motel supposed to be for? They went to trouble of casting a kid who looks just like a young Anthony Perkins, did a great reproduction of the house... then threw pretty much everything else out the window. Norman has a brother now? The show takes place in the Pacific Northwest?? Marion Crane... well, I don't want to get into spoilers but color me disappointed. I only watched about three episodes before bailing out of it. They should've done what Hannibal did: take the source material but adapt it into a different direction.

Bates Motel wanted its cake and to eat it, too.

I 2nd that, 12" versions of course.

[Count Zachula]

Would you guys say 12 inch figures are the ultimate end all representation of a character? Or would you rather a 7-8 inch figure?

While I do like many of the 12" figures, for me 7-8" is the "Goldilocks" format; it is big enough for good detailing and cloth costumes, yet small enough to incorporate both playsets and accessories.
