Are you taking this even remotly seriously 8S, the Trotters! do you think Blister would do an exclusive Uncle Albert, or perhaps Del and Rodders in their Batman and Robin outfits. Mind you if anyone did do some British sitcom figures I'd be all over Basil Fawlty (special action feature, push a button on his back and he goose steps) and Manuel...eees siberian amstair! HAHA - yeah what are the chances we'd get del boy and rodney - but it's nice to dream. only fools and horses is my favourite show especially the early ones. i'd snap them up in a second. if i had the talent to make customs they'd be the first figures i'd make. fawlty would be great too. i'd have to have an alan partridge too - the exclusive could be fat alan, face covered in toblerone and no shoes.

"Jurasic Park", an Alan Partridge would be so funny, "cash back" Blister exclusive would be Lynn "back of the net" or Michael (the Geordie) "textbook". And while we're churning out comedy greats lets do Vince Noir (Noel Fielding), king of the mods and Howard Moon (Julian Barratt) from The Mighty Boosh.

Oh the Boosh boys would be great. They're visually creative characters too so would be fun figs to have (and so much potential for accessories). Snake Eater & I hijacked one of the "What do you want to see in RAH next" threads on Mediworld a couple of months ago talking about how we'd like Mighty Boosh figs. So there is a small (maybe very small) number of people who would buy them. Then again, I think the Boosh is becoming slowly popular in Japan too - I found a few Japanese Boosh fansites. You know how the Japanese are with fashion-related stuff. It's probably because Vince looks like an 80s god. Anyway, back to something our American friends will actually know about: I've been saying it for a long time. Hot Toys would be perfect for it. Everyone would buy it. But the people who made it being the egotistical freaks they are, probably get lost in a raging sea of licensing failures.

my sick and twisted mind has no boundaries to its lunacy.
can anyone think of any other movies that would fit in with hot toys 80s/90s action movie lines (terminator, aliens, robocop, rambo, rocky)? i think beverly hills cop is perfect and may even be very likely. i'm thinking that if hot toys continues with their current licensing patterns we might get Die Hard figs. I thought maybe Warriors but it isn't quite popular enough.
maybe 48hrs? or bad boys? Back to the future? (although it was a PG and so far it's all been R). Highlander possibly? maybe the kurgan krusaders will finally get their precious.
anyone think of any more?
