The only figures not made that I would definitely lose my shit for are
Supernatural (preferably Neca but I’d literally take any fig based on Dean and Sam)
Tron legacy(diamond select preferably)
Lastly The Thing

I’d really like 6-7” figures from Tomb Raider (the newer games mostly), The Last of Us 1&2, and more from the Uncharted series.

I think Neca mentioned at a Con that they had more video game characters on the horizon but they couldn’t say which franchise just yet. Hopefully it’ll be for The Last of Us.

We are a product of our environment. At some point, manufacturers decided that they were not selling enough product fast enough, so they asked the advertisers to solve this problem for them. The solution created another problem because the advertisers did too good of a job. They created an instant gratification society and now the manufacturers can't keep up.

Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it.

You're right... That is a weird complaint I'd much rather have a company put out a classic Batman up front than 50 Arctic Assault Orange Neon Hyper Tech Fragmental Armor Batmen figures and drag ass giving us what we want haha

As someone who has collected action figures for going on 40 years now, I can say that there isn’t, nor will there ever be, a perfect version. There are ALWAYS things that could be improved, My forte is Transformers. I started collecting Masterpieces in 2003 thinking, “this is perfect. Can’t do better, and saves me from buying a new version every year”... well, since then, once you factor in third party figures as well, I’ve had 4 “perfect” optimus primes, 5 “perfect” starscreams, 4 “perfect” megatrons, etc. As technologies improve, so do toys, so perfection is always changing. I remember when the super articulated movie Spider-man came out. Thought nothing could look more accurate. Now you see Figuarts and Hottoys product that look like they stepped off the screen.

Ok, so need to tweak my list a bit:

1. Michelle Pfeiffer Catwoman (Neca 1/4 scale made to 1/12, exactly like they did for Batman. While we’re at it, do the same for the DeVito Penguin)
2. Back to the Future Doc Brown and Marty McFly
3. 6” scale GI Joe (just the figures. I don’t need vehicles)
4. Jack Torrance (The Shining)
5. Snake Plissken (Neca ultimate, I’ll never give up hope)

5: Vampire Hunter D, there might be a 1/6 figure, I'm not sure, but something in 1/12 would be awesome.
Pls make this happen!

I'm pretty sure these don't exist in any modern line yet, but I'd love to see these characters make their way into Legends:

1. Chamber
2. Dust
3. Destiny
4. Senyaka
5. Armor

And for Black Series:

1. Asajj Ventress
2. Darth Nihilus
3. Eighth Brother
4. Luminara Unduli
5. Sixth Brother

Was looking at my collection last night. Couldn’t come up with anything I really NEED for my collection. Major holes are filled, now I’m just buying to avoid boredom and to make videos/blog posts. Has become a massive waste of money, so I shutdown the various versions of webzphotomania and closing my accounts at various forums.

I will probably do a massive sell off of my excess in April... greedily take people’s tax refunds.

All movie Catwomen in 4". I know a lot of people don't like the movie but I still want the Halle Berry version as a figure.


In 4".

I can think of tons. There are a bunch of Marvel figs I would have loved to see in 4 inch scale. Just as many in Legends scale. A bunch of Hot Toys characters I would love to see made - and so on.

idk why they haven't done chilling adventures figures. some of the characters would look pretty cool, Sabrina in the red dress, Prudence's aesthetic is just generally awesome
