Never played Punch Out myself, but aren't there some, let's say, less that flattering caricatures of certain races in the game? Might be why there hasn't been an updated comprehensive collection of figures!

Nothing that jumps out as glaringly offensive outside of the arcades Vodka Drukenski, which was changed to Soda Popinski on home consoles. Some things obviously wouldn’t fly if released today, and those have been refined a bit in later sequels. Nintendo did changed a few things on the eShop version to be less problematic.

Easily my biggest wish for a toyline. Punch Out is my favorite game of all time and I hope one day we get figures.

Too old to cry about it and too young to be able to laugh it off

One of the best games of all time. Brutally challenging while incredibly rewarding. And an absolute dream come true if we ever get figures.
No to Neca. Sorry. Storm Collectibles is the only way to go in my book. They’re the only company proven capable of getting the sculpt, articulation and personality of these characters. |

Enjoyed the game back then, just feel the fanbase would be pretty small considering how boxing's popularity has gone. I'd be interested for sure. I agree to the toy companies that could pull this off, just think if any one would try to attempt they should run it as a kickstarter. Personally I would love some figures of real boxing greats/legends in 1/10 to 1/12 scale but its a pipe dream I'm sensing, kind of like how Enterbay isnt making certain NBA figures or legends I want.
But loving this Figures Wanted Spotlight series. Thanks Joe. |

Sign me up (errr, no pun intended, considering this is my first post here)!
I dabble with the WoN 4" figures, but I'd set a whole damned shelf aside for the likes of King Hippo and Glass Joe. I think only a proper Castlevania line would trump that on my own wishlist. |

there are clearly problems within the body of the main post. If you wanna bury your head in the sand, bully for you, but don't assume we all live in your same sandbox.

New Punch-Out Fig/toy line, Would be sweet...
That would included Characters from"Super Punch Out" too. However, it's got to be... Licensed with "Mike Tyson's Punch-Out Character... IMHO, Tyson made this game what it is. Punch out arcade was ok. NES added Tyson... That's when the game took off for me. Now if you can give me all the Characters... Including Tyson, Count me in on the line. No Tyson? That would be a harder sell to me...

This and NES Pro Wrestling are my biggest figure wants. And I second Storm Collectibles as well. They even made a Mike Tyson from that era already that looked great. |

I don't think I'd call it "brutally challenging". Once you figure out the timing to beat everyone it's more of a process than anything. Still fun either way. And I have to admit, I'm still hit or miss catching Bald Bull when he does his charge.

Seriously, how ridiculous would it look to have an 8 inch Little Mac next to a 4 inch Mario? For me that's like putting a 4 foot tall man next to one who's 8 feet tall. It'll be more effective if we pester them on social media instead, since there are not Nintendo employees on this forum that I'm aware of. |

I don't like the idea of Storm Collectibles doing a Punch-Out line because then they'd be out of scale with the rest of my Smash Bros. collection.

Also, I'd love to see some kind of overhead star effect piece for them too. Could be done as an acetate piece on an articulated stand or even as something that plugs into their backs, like how they do with some figures for stands but inverted. |

Nintendo rarely does anything that makes sense, but a new Punch-Out game with the Switch joy-cons seems like such a no-brainer??
And I've said it many times but World of Nintendo would shoot through the roof with more Smash Bros characters, esp underrepresented ones like Falcon, Little Mac, and Ness |

I don't think they'd make him as an 8 inch figure tho. He's supposed to be much smaller than the average sized person anyway so possibly a 4-5 inch figure for him. I love the variation of sizes Storm has been doing already with the Street Fighter figures and the punch out fighters would be comparable to that i.e. Popinski/Super Machoman would be similar height and build-wise to their Sagat figure, Baldbull with Zangief, etc. Sota would've been a great choice for the property too, if they were still making figures.

Annoy the bejeezus out of them on social media? Check! hahahaha Whatever you do don't start a petition. This ain't the place. If I was Nintender I'd check Toyark. People actually say a lot of intelligent things here unlike a lot of other places.
