Boss Fight Studio at The Force Con 2019 - New Licenses Announced

RamenRider · 09-26-2019, 12:42 PM

Hägar the Horrible? I remember these comics. I doubt I'll buy figures of it but I'm interested to see how these turn out.

Also, Bleach? What? Kinda feels like a "One of these is not like the other"-thing considering what they've done so far. Or did they do anime figures before? Don’t think I’ve seen any.

This is their first Anime line. They'll also be announcing new hero licenses this weekend as well.

Pics or it never happened.

Court of the Dead seems like it could be interesting

deecee4 · 09-27-2019, 04:21 AM

The King Features figures seems kind of random and weird. I feel like people are just gonna look at them and say 'that's cool, I remember that' and be on their way

The Sunday Comic Strip line sounded interesting at first, but I can't really see any of the ones listed selling very well. I know Calvin & Hobbes is off the table, which is a bummer, but what about Garfield?

Boss Fight Studio Announces New Licenses - Zorro, Tarzan and More - The Toyark - News

BagJo · 09-29-2019, 11:44 AM

Tarzan? That's dope, I'll definitely be interested to see what they do.

Spooked · 09-29-2019, 12:19 PM

Okay, Tarzan has me intrigued...

Jester · 09-29-2019, 06:03 PM

Kind of a weird depiction of Tarzan. You'd think if his skin was that bronzed by the sun, then his hair would also be pretty sun-bleached as well...

That's a really odd thing to comment on. It's just a piece of art I used or the story.

I'm all in for their Bucky O' Hare line minus repaints, I'll get Zorro and Tarzan if they are in 6" (1:12) scale.

I'm drawn to odd things.

I thought it was from Boss Fight.

They're parts of the H.A.C.K.S. system, so 4" (1/18th) scale.

I'm a big fan of the Gabriel Zorro stuff - it's one of those lines that's tough to put together and remains this oddity that I like seeing from the earliest memories of my childhood.

The NBS Zorro sort of makes me want to dig those older figures out...

He's been depicted that way for like over 100 years..a little late to be complaining about it now.

Aren’t Zorro and Tarzan in the public domain? Why would a company need to acquire the licenses?

Antonio Banderas Zorro movies and Disney animated Tarzan.

Not sure what that means but Tarzan has been done in various media since that movie came out. Disney doesn't own Tarzan, its owned by the estate of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Yeah that would only matter if they're doing Banderas or Disney's Tarzan, which I can't imagine they are.

Yes and both of them had to secure the license to make their productions, and Disney did toys too.

When I first saw the announcement on the front page I thought IT WAS the disney film since it said Tarzan and Jane which I thought the disney film was titled.
I'm pretty excited by these announcements. Court of the Dead; Tarzan and Jane and especially Zorro. I'm interested to see why his line is differently titled (Zorro X hero hacks). Hopefully we see something from this along with Flash (movie and other media) at Toy Fair 2020.

So it turns out Zorro is in the public domain, but there’s also a Zorro Production company that handles licensing. To avoid any hassle, most companies just negotiate with them. That is weird.

Lionheart · 10-03-2019, 09:29 AM

I'm in for Zorro. Clever of them since they now have horses ready. Might segue nicely into a Lone Ranger line.
