Alright, I've thought some more. Here's what I want in 18th Joeticulation style (whatever that means nowadays, lol). Not gonna dupe what others have said, but suffice it to say that I prolly want that stuff too.

Cowboy Bebop. Figs and the single ships, plus bad guys. You could do the TV guy and his topless-except-for-an-open-vest cohost as a deluxe exclusive. Package them in a tv-shaped box for the win.

Blade Runner. Figs and Spinners and playsets like Tyrel's meeting room and the Eye Factory and JR's living room with roof.

Starship Troopers, the cartoon. Figs, armorsuits, ships.

MFing Aliens Colonial Marines, for reals. 3 frickin' figs just ain't sufficient, dammit. We need an APC and Dropship and Sulaco playset.

DCU, since it doesn't appear that's gonna happen any time soon.

Savage Dragon. Him barechested. Him in his cop outfit. Him in his SOS outfit. Dart, Horridus, SuperPatriot, Rock, Widow, Damien Darklord, OverLord, MFing BRAINIAPE...

Grendel. Hunter, Argent, Christine, Toshiro, Brian, Eppy, Pope Elvis, Prime, Orion, Jupiter young and age-of-ascension, Crystal, Dargo, Azif, the Harlem Bridge Guardians, the Red Devils, the hoverbikes, the hovertanks, the Sun Gun, the ...

Speaking of Matt Wagner, Mage. Kevin, Kirby Hero, Joe, the Grackleflints, the Shadow King, etc, etc, etc.

Supreme Power. Hyperion, NightHawk, Doc Spectrum, Blur, Zarda, Amphibian, Inertia, Shape, Emil, Redstone...

i wouldn't mind seeing some of the 'old' 1:18 come back in the new style...

BSG, Buck Rogers, The Black Hole, Dukes, etc.


Don't forget about Flash Gordon and some of the later Fisher-Price Adventure People like Clawtron and Brainiod.

I'm actually kind of glad these don't exist. If they did, the APC and Dropship would probably be a bit pricey, and combine that with the Marines and I'd probably go broke on these.

The only things that stopped me from going broke on the USCM snap-kits by Hot Toys were:

1- the difficulty in locating them
2- usually having to buy an entire case just to get 4 Marine figures (anyone need a crap load of brown Aliens?)
3- paying $20-$40 for a single figure on ebay

And even with all of that I still ended up getting around 50 of them. :-/

The one thing I want in 1:18 more than anything (right now) is Classic Battlestar Galactica. I want a Classic Cylon army and a small fleet of Classic Cylon Raiders and Classic Colonial Vipers sooooooo bad (have for about 28 years now).

On the topic of 3.75" girl's action figures, I remember when I was a kid, going to visit my aunt and uncle and my female cousins having a set of action figures that looked sort of like Barbie, but were 3.75". In fact, I remember wishing I could get these from them to use with my GI Joes, because they were they same size and had the same articulation (except just straight-arm, no swivel-arm), but had "real" hair. Does anyone know what these were, or at least remember them?


those would be "Glamor Gals" by Kenner... yes, I actually just had to call my ex and ask her what they were called since she always used to tell me I needed some to go with my joes and xd... :roll:

Thank you! Apparently, my memory is a bit faulty, as they have Star Wars articulation (from what a google search showed me), but those are what I remember!

So, now we've got GI Joe, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Marvel Comics, DC Comics,Hero's, Hellboy, Star Trek, and WWE all in one similar scale. What do you expect next? Movie Classics? MOTU? Simpsons?

I'd personally love a TV/Movie classics line. New 1:18 A-Team, Ghostbuster's, CHiPs, Blues Brothers, etc. I'd also like a Music series. Release a base stage, sell different branded equipment packs, lighting rigs and so forth. I think it would sell better than the McFarlane stuff because with articulation you could actually have some variation in your band.

,
im with you on this with the TV/ movie i would love to see dukes of hazzard , A team back agin.
