Old enough!

I won’t pretend I’m not an ***** who constantly misses obvious jokes (I am), but I’ve never actually seen Highlander or knew about any of the other figs out there.

Anyway, Iconiq seems like a really strange company to me. They’re still pretty new, right? They’re killing it with their Street Fighter line announcements and their Ryu turned out to be one of my favourite figures to date… But then their more recent Patrick Bateman was super controversial here, with really weird issues with the sculpt and overall proportion.

Hopefully with this, they can really stick the ~~high~~landing :naughty

Almost every time I see that homelander thread my brain tells me it is highlander and I get excited... hopefully this company can make quality figures.

Curious what version people will prefer, the flashback versions on the “present day” version?

Personally I wanna see the present day version, tench coat included.

Johnny Utah · Jul 27, 2023

Yeah I love the opening look from the parking garage duel.

Rotfish · Jul 27, 2023

Flashback and it's not even close.

No one wants Richie? I think he's one of the best tv show sidekicks. A shame they just kill him off accidentally.

Definitely interested in the OG trio in their fantastic era specific uniforms, those are three iconic looks, (though wtf was that extraordinary Kurgan armor? LOL).

Yeah, I consider that the main movie, and the rest as Flashforwards. :lol

If anything I hope the inevitable reboot delves more into the fantastic past.

I'd watch a whole extended flashback prequel of Ramírez adventures in feudal Japan, meeting Shakiko and acquiring the Katana from her father.

But if they got the license, I imagine Iconiq will be wanting to exploit both past and modern eras to the most, it's kind of what makes the great visual theme of the franchise.

Duncan was THE Man back in the 90s, so maybe Iconiq can eventually make a version better than Sideshow’s that looks like Dracula now.

Luisenigma1 · Jul 28, 2023

This is awesome news. I loved Highlander as a kid so these figures are definitely on my list.

the best news for me in this SDCC thing

tys1977 · Aug 29, 2024

Sooo we're past the year anniversary for Iconiq's announcement and still pretty much radio silence, apart from the odd 'Soon' over the last 6 months if anyone mentions Highlander on their FB page, I thought we may have seen something around SDCC time, but nothing?...
I appreciate that product development takes time but to not even show a render or update in any way for over a year is a bit odd imo, maybe I'm just being impatient ?

Johnny Utah · Aug 29, 2024

You're not. Iconiq are glacial with updates. This time 2 years from now, you still won't have the figure.

Well after a year and a bit we have a tease...
Looks to be 'Modern Connor' first judging by the scabbard on the Katana, ltd to 888 units

Johnny Utah · Tuesday at 9:45 AM

Well that's bought. I had the Sideshow version and loved it.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEERE WE ARE!!!!!!!!!

MarkKing · Tuesday at 9:50 AM

I still love sideshow, but many of their releases need updates.

There can be only one!

At this rate it'll be over a decade before they get to the trio in their midievel looks, other than maybe Macleod, and that's where all the unique detail and dificult costuming is, so even longer wait or never, for the other two.
By then whatever revisionist reboot will have come out,
So we'll likely never see the original trio made.

By then whatever revisionist reboot will have come out, (let me guess new Ramirez is now guaranteed black, female, lgb, or all three in-one diversity box check?) And they will likely switch gears to that "correct" representation.
So we'll likely never see the original trio again.

Did they hint at Ramirez and Kurrigan? Just curious as I have not kept up

Mondragon · Tuesday at 11:10 AM

So far (afaik) just the fact that they have the license, and now the sword hint posted by tys1977 above, which (not really surprisingly) does suggest 'Modern Connor' first.

Mr.E · Tuesday at 11:16 AM

Does that mean the trench coat leather jacket version of Connor?
