BRING THE MING, baby!!! Ming is really cool. Makes me want to do a Dungeons & Dragons wizard bash or something. All sorts of possibilities.
You don't even need a shelf as Ming would be a great stand alone figure. A General Klytus would look cool too with that gold and black Dr Doom get up.
I would absolutely get Klytus as he was my fav villain in this movie. I hope they give you a swap-out mask with his tongue and eyes bulging out! He's the Toht of Flash Gordon.

I could go for a Flash Gordon shelf. Man, will it be colorful.
As usual for me, I think I'd stick to the villains mostly, but I would be highly tempted by Vultan and maybe even Barin and Dale in that crazy orange concubine outfit.
Barin and Vultan spend the first half of the movie as villains so technically that still works.

Loved all the chief characters Dale, Baron, Vultan, Zarkon, Cletus, Gen what’s her name and aurora( think that was name, ming’s Daughter )
Would like to see a whole figure line of the cast
I'm with you! I want 'em all! I even want some of the guards. The red ones that are supposed to look like football players who only appear during the "go Flash, go!" Football scene would be great...the ones in the long black robes with the hoods and WWII style gas masks would be awesome too.
Interesting they need to gauge interest for a Thirteenth Doctor yet these are a go. Guess it’s the difference in licensing fees eh?
Also interesting that if it weren’t for Star Wars we probably never would have got this version of Flash - and if Lucas had won the rights to Flash we may never have got SW!

Could you further elaborate on that?
Thanks!
Boy those were the 70-80s... Sexy, nihilistic and over-the-top movie if there was ever one...
I am not knowledgeable about the flick, but it still holds up well in it shroud of nonsensical fun and coolness... and the music... oh boy the music...

George Lucas tried to get the rights to make a Flash Gordon movie but the rights holder, Dino De Laurentiis managed to stop him, Lucas then decide to make Star Wars. De Laurentiis saw how much Star Wars made and tried to cash in on the new Sci-Fi craze fast tracking Flash Gordon out in 1980, it didn't work out so well.
Bit late to this thread just caught my eye....
Yea Ming looks amazing, spot on. Flash needs some work, looks a bit animated "cartoon" like. I hope they fix him up. Plus those joins, do we really need them?
