Title: Which Sci Fi Movies/TV/Games.. would You Like to See get the 3 3/4" Treatment
Post by: Fritzkrieg on April 28, 2006, 11:47 PM
I've alway been a Die Hard 3 3/4" Action figure Collector. But, So Much of the Sci-Fi Media That I love So Much Has Never received the  Proper Toy Lines they So Richly Deserves. So What I want to Know is which Sci-Fi Toy Lines are on Your  3 3/4" Wish List.

Mine Are:

1. "Aliens" They had an Interesting 5" Scale Line. But it did not Satisfy my Die Hard 3 3/4" Collecting Obssesion. Hopefully This Wish Will Come True. I saw some Pics From the Hong Kong Toyfare, and in Some of the Pics Blurry Images of 4" Colonial Marines Could be Seen in the Background. But, Until I can Hold them in My Hands their no more Confirmed to me as BigFoot or the Lock-Ness Monster.
 I really Need some 3 3/4" Colonial Marines.

2. "StarShip Troopers" This Movie Had some Great Sci-FI Designs. They Also Had a Toy Line But again it Was in the Wrong Scale, I fact I think the Line Was Made in 2 Scales One Action Fleet Scale and the Other about 5"'s. The 5" line was way too Cartoony for my taste.

3. "BattleStar Galatica" A NeoClassic 3 3/4" in Line would be awsome. I loved the Original Toy Line from the 70's, Although The Human Characters Looked Like Crap. If It Was Made Today You Could Really Have Excellent Looking Versions of Your Favorite Characters.

4. "Space Above And Beyond" This Would have Made a Great Toy Line. The Vehicles and Aliens are Some of the Best Designs to come Out of Sci-FI Televison In the 90's

5.  "Masters of the Universe" The Movie. I know that Movie was Total Crap but I have to have an Army of Skeletor's Black Armored Troopers.

Thats My List, Please LMK yours

Fritz, they're real...  The Colonial Marines.  They're part of HOt Toyz's line, which I have S1 of...  Need S2, and I'm assuming the "Aliens" figures of Marines and Ripley are part of S3...  Definitely the same line though and 3.75" so your wish is granted to at least some limited extent.

I just hope they keep going with it, and maybe we see some accessories beyond the snapkit figures.  I want Ripley's Mech loader at least.

King Kong. I'd love to see a 3.75' Jack Driscoll, Carl Denham, Ann Darrow, Jimmy, Preston, Bruce Baxter, and a Skull Islander. Creatures (I'm thinking Scorpio-Pedes, Foetodons, Weta-Rexes, Arachno-Claws, V-Rexes, etc) to scale with the figures would be cool too. a 10-12' Kong would be a must as well.

The Labyrinth (1986)

I think it'd be awesome to have an action figure of Jareth the Goblin King (David Bowie in spandex)... There were some really classic characters in that movie. The little pot-headed (heh) knights and their mutant steeds, Ambrocious and Sir Didymus, The Goat-headed guards, the Bird-headed wise man, a large scale (Real fur!) Ludo, etc, etc!

I'd love to see some Aliens and Predator figures in 3.75" scale.  There are some Predator Micro-men sized figures, I think, but I want a line imported into the US.

I'd also love to see "Starship Troopers."  I loved that movie and have most of the Galoob collection that did come out.  The figs are really crappy but the Action Fleet stuff is awesome. 

Babylon 5, Lord of the Rings, Battlestar Galactica (new), Star Trek.

There are a lot of other films and TV shows that I can think of one or two uniforms that I wouldn't mind seeing but not really full lines.  And as much as I love the 3.75" scale I'd really like to see some really detailed figures in 12" scale.  Then you get even better detail and more articulation choices in your figures.

Too bad some company couldn't get the licenses and do sort of a Captain Action type line where it's just uniform sets, no figures.  Then you could buy one or two uniforms or build a huge army or whatever.

   E...

1) Battlestar Galactica (original and revisioned)
as a kid I always dreamed of owning a Viper that my figures could fit in.

2)Star Trek (all) the only reason this is not #1 is cuz I got a zillion of the Playmates line.

3) Robotech (all) including vehicles (1:18 scale Veritech, awesome!)

4) Ghost in the Shell SAC including vehicles. Walking tanks anyone?

They're making Die Hard figures?!  ******' a, man--mark me down for a Hans Gruber.  And that black computer nerd dude from Walker, Texas Ranger, too--but only if he has articulated knees so he can sit down at the computer and hack into the vault.

Anything Dark Crystal I would love to see get made. There were the 12" Jen and Kira and the mini busts of Aughra, Skesis Chamberlain and the Mystic. I would however like a figure line of this movie with playsets. God, i've dreamed about that for a looooooong time...

HALO

I know they already have figs for the game, and the 7 inch figs are cool, but their 2-inch line just doesn't cut it.

Think how awesome that would be: Master Chief, Marines, ODSTs, Spartans, Grunts, Jackals, vehicles, Flood, all with Hasbro style articulation and accesories.

I would buy a crapload.

The answer a few weeks ago in the Star Wars Q & A that said the Battlestar Galactica (both Original and New Series) really got me kinda excited.  Especially if they were to scale and would fit well with the SW stuff I have.  It would be like 1980 again when I had my SW and BG stuff together (with some Buck Rogers thrown in the mix).

A few of you mention Dark Crystal. I'd go for a smaller scale line. Those dolls they did were too big and pricey for my interest level. But I'd definitely buy a few figs from a 3 to 4 inch line. I'd love that stilt creature they rode on!

The Kenneth Johnson TV miniseries "V" would be awesome. I'd be all over that.

And I'd kill for a line based on the Krofft original Land of the Lost! Sleestak and Enik figures would please me no end. ;D

Ook, you know it!  "V" would be a great toy line.

Hmm, BSG is back...Perhaps it is time to bring V back to the small screen!

Johnson was supposed to be working on a remake or sequel to V a while back. I asked Marc Singer about it last time I was at Comic-Con, and he said they were in "close contact" about the project. That was 2004. I kind of thought it would be out by now.

Ah, here (http://www.kennethjohnson.us/V-cover.html) we are...

KRULL!!  Awesome flick (for that time)  Loved it as a kid and would totally welcome a line of figs to go with it - not that I'd buy them, but it would be nice to see them made.

A series of V figures/vehicles would also be nice to see made.  Totally loved the mini-series they had.

That is my dream series. I have all the busts and both 12" figure but crave more. Especially in the small scale. There were plans and protoypes for a line back when the movie came out but sadly they never got mass produced.  :( Maybe one day. Too bad Palisades is kaput, they would've done wonders for that line...

#1  The Planet of the Apes Films ---Imagine army building with Gorilla Soldiers.  There could be so many "obscure" characters that it would be just like SW.  There could be horses and wagons and all sorts of cool stuff.  I honestly day dream about this once a week!

#2  Mad Max/Road Warrior.  This would be mainly for the vehicles, would could be insanely cool.  The Oil Truck from Road Warrior would be the big ticket "Naboo Cruiser" item at X-mas.  Again, this has been a dream of mine since about 1983.

I too, love the show Heroes, but I don't think it would make for a very exciting action figure line. They are after all just regular people. I can't see kids clamoring for this one.

heroes would be very cool. id be thinking more like the Unleashed line size and features. Nikkii/Jessica w/rifle covered in blood, DL with his hand through something, Sylar 'using the Force', Nathan flying. SUPER COOL!  ;D

How this thread got down so far, I'll never know...

I was thinking today how badass it would be to get a GOOD 3.75" Wild Wild West line based on the original TV series (none of that Will Smith bull**** movie they made).  I want a Dr. Loveless figure, Artie, West, and the whole lot...  Some Union soldiers, some Confederate holdouts, some cowboy thugs, some San Francisco port thugs...  I'd love a toy line for one of my most treasured childhood TV memories. :)
