I think I'm like the opposite of everything right above this post lol.

I liked the first Dune movie as a kid. Not something I watch over and over, but I dug it.

Later on after college, I actually read the books. I normally don't read anything like that, but I was in a situation where I had time and it was there, so I dug in. Like that wayyy more. The books writing style does not translate to movies well, it's a lot of inner voice processing of what he's seeing. That's what's interesting, and what can't be done well in a visual format.

The Sci-Fi show - more in depth and went beyond original movie, but it had that "made for TV" cheese factor, was before our current state of epic TV series took off.

Saw Blade Runner 2049 at drive in. Went more for the event than the movie(s). I did not like the original Blade Runner, thought it was super boring once I saw it as an adult. But, 2049 wound up being really good IMO. Story was way better, and it's visually beautiful in every damn shot. Plus it was slower paced than modern action/sci-fi flicks, less cutting angles and all that. So that took me by surprise and I dug that.

Add it all up - director I really like and source material I also like, and I'm looking forward to it.

That being said, I do not want a 20 figure deep Dune shelf, any scale.

I still think that the obscure and non-suit figures could work, depending on what we get in the movie. Pretty much all these I think have potential, for Dune and then in use beyond Dune (shelves or photography):
