If they just make the aliens in the trailer, they have like 10 waves.

Your pants will stay clean because NO ONE is allowed to do Mad Max toys: George Miller just won't allow the rights.

Mad Max and John Wick are two series that I wish NECA would pick up. I never thought about Valerian and Laureline. This could be a massive and amazing wave. Drenched in Euro-scifi awesomeness. Lord I don't need another NECA line that I want to collect in its entirety. I can't wait.

Movie trailer: yuck.
Yeah, a good 1:12 figure of Mel Gibson as Mad Max would be a grail. |

That sounds about right. Really past John Wick I don't know how many other figures they could sell.

Randy Falk wrote this many times on Twitter when asked if NECA would do Mad Max figures.

Now that Miller is back in complete control of the license, he refusing to allow any merchandise other than the tie-in video game for Fury Road. NECA has hit him up numerous times to do the entire franchise & Miller won't budge.

If they did it in the 6' scale i'm sure they could sell plenty just as custom bases/henchmen for ML/DC collectors

They will most likely make only the lead characters and maybe an alien and/or droid that figure big in the film.

Not sure how excited I am about the movie, but the comic is one of my all time favourites. So, in that regard, I'll gladly buy anything NECA puts out. Plus, it's a good thing that the source material that Lucas so obviously ripped off for Star Wars is finally getting some mainstream attention.

is this the french comic strip from the 70s (before SW) that has a character thats frozen in a carbonite block? i remember seeing that randomly on some blog but couldn't recall the name of it. there were some other things too but i remember it was quite eye opening seeing all the similarities.

The similarities are notable but it's not like Valerian invented most of these things, a lot of classic sci-fi tropes were established in ye ol' Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon stories. There are a ton of sci-fis from before the '70s that clearly set the tone for what would become the sort of standard used by Star Wars and Star Trek before it.

Maybe that comic art was just inspired by Peter Cushing, he's kind of always looked like that

The Kurosawa influence on Star Wars is a little different since it's a totally different genre but also Lucas was fairly vocal in admitting how much Kurosawa's work influenced him (particularly The Hidden Fortress influencing parts of ANH). At one point Lucas even wanted to cast Toshiro Mifune, a regular leading actor in Kurosawa's films, as Obi Wan but 20th Century was opposed to casting a Japanese actor in a lead role and Toshiro was concerned about how the image of the Samurai would be altered in Western perspective if he were cast.
