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

Doh!

I collect both 12" and the Neca 6" lines. Not a fan of cloth goods at the 7" scale. Overall, I prefer larger figures.

Another I just thought of: Rod Serling! Sideshow had a Twilight Zone line, but never made a Rod. The only ones I picked up in that line were from "Eye of the Beholder":

No one ever does Rod Serling.  It's annoying because I think he's one of the only Twilight Zone toys I'd like to own.

Bif Bang Pow! did a nice Megostyle version of Rod in an extremely limited number back when they were producing their cloth TZ line.  I was lucky enough to get my hands on one.  But yes, a 12-inch Sideshow Serling would have been awesome.

Do you have a picture?  I've never seen that one.  I know they did the boxed Shatner that had stuff for both of his appearances.

Can't seem to find a photo either. PICS OR IT NEVER HAPPENED!

Doh!

I did see that.  But no Twilight Zone line that I can remember has ever had a Serling to my knowledge.  I would have bought the Sideshow figure if they'd done him.  I probably would have bought the 3.75" one too.  But they never happened.

I'm happy to be proven wrong though.

I don't normally collect Barbie, but I have a Barbie and Ken Munsters and Addams Family set, and I know they did one of Barbie from the birds. What I would like Mattel to make a Psycho tribute set. It would include Barbie as Marilyn Crane, with Ken as Norman Bates. Included would be accessories for Ken, such as "Mother's" dress and wig, and a big knife.
What ever happened to my Transylvania Twist?

That's a good idea! It's not that hard, in this case, though. Just click on one of those pics and copy the URL.

My girlfriend has those. The Birds one is fantastic. One question... would the Marion Crane be nude behind a shower curtain?

I think Birds was about as edgy as we can expect.  I'd be amazed if they let one of their flagship characters be portrayed as a murderer.

A Frankenstein set with Ken as the monster and Barbie as the bride would be a lot of fun, too.

Marion. It's Marion. Having OCD and being a Psycho fan is a terrible combination. Especially given the continuity errors of 3 and 4. Don't even get me started with Bates Motel. :angel: :angel: Happy to play editorial on this one. :angel: :angel:

Hey, now   ;D  :)

They also did a Fay Wray / King Kong Barbie. She is dressed as Ann Darrow; with an accompanying big, hairy paw and Kong's face in the window!
