Right? Of course there are still some but the list is getting smaller everyday. Which is a great thing. Can anyone name a top five of characters that haven’t had at least one modern high quality representation in figure form? I’ll go first:
1 Raditz (SH Figuarts) 2 Rhinox (Takara Masterpiece) 3 Rattrap (Takara Masterpiece) 4 Goliath (? From Disney’s Gargoyles) 5 Captain Planet (I’m reaching here) |

1: Streets of Rage cast
2: The Eternal Champion (Elric, Corum, Hawkmoon) 3: An actual figure of Geralt (The Witcher), preferably Mezco or Mafex 4: Drakengard figures, namely Caim. 5: Vampire Hunter D, there might be a 1/6 figure, I'm not sure, but something in 1/12 would be awesome. |

Good thing is... there's lots of figures that don’t exist of which I don’t even know that I want them yet
Collecting introduces me to so many new things. |

Not something I want personally but I was just thinking, with the popularity of It, why hasn't someone jumped on Killer Clowns from Outer Space?

Dude I don’t even remember these. Which is weird cos I would have been the target age demo. I would’ve loved them! Humanoid dinosaurs! All I had back then was the live action sitcom Dinosaurs, Land Before Time, Dink and Denver the Last Dinosaur.

Dinosaucers was a one season wonder. It was all the talk of the town when I was a kid, but seems it didn’t do well, as it only lasted 65 episodes. I think some of the toys appeared in South America, but most were only shown as prototypes. I wanted toys of this series sooooooo badly as a kid.

Only two things I want....
1) A NECA scale RJ Macready from The Thing And 2) A full line of figures from Jingle all the Way! Turboman, Booster, Dementor and one of each color of the Demon Team! There's already people making these with 3D scans of the original props from the movie, but I want cheaper options that I can buy multiples of haha

Premium 1/6 scale sized Small Soldiers. Something that looks identical to the movie. Just a fun little movie I like to watch back-to-back with Toy Story. LOL

To see that concept executed to some level on the big screen was fantastic. Yes, I'm a geek.

Everything Gargoyles.
Well, there's also Dino Riders, Dino Saucers, Rock Lords, Gobots, Inhumanoids, Visionairies, Captain Power, Silverhawks, Bravestarr, Conan The Adventurer, Centurians, and Johnny Quest, but Gargoyles is the only thing I would definitely buy.

Also, Dr. Kain, Gobots are currently getting Masterpiece-like figures in Japan. Check your favorite importer for availability.

Drug out forever and then just nothing. I got my money back but never heard what really happened. |

I know this may not be entirely what you're talking about, but where else can I say this? The problem with companies having such direct communication with fans on what they want, plus having basically perfected the art of figure production, is that it means that you have to pick and choose less unless you do a REALLY deep cut on a character. Back when I started, there was always a "perfect" version of a figure we waited for, and when they DID happen, it was an EVENT. Nowadays, though? They just kinda happen. Yeah, perfect version, okay, next!
I feel sorry for the people just starting out, since they won't know the wonder of waiting for the perfect version of a character they've known and loved for a while. They can just get the good one and move on. I know this is a REALLY weird complaint to have, but it's been weighing on me recently.
