Why? It's pretty frowned upon here to start a thread about a new figure only to find out it is pure speculation.

IDK, I'd have to see prototype pics before I'd commit.

Ah but they're not superheroes. A better example would have been John Ritter's Captain Avenger from Hero At Large. While it's not famous enough for Hot Toys, it's one of the best superhero movies. Like if Frank Capra made a movie about a cosplayer becoming a comic book hero and what happens when he disappoints the public.
The movie didn't do too well. My attorney and John Ritter had a mutual friend so I sent a fan letter that it was a great movie and would have done better if not placed in hard to find theatres. Ritter sent me many Captain Avenger autographed photos and he appreciated the letter.

Sure. It's meant to be fun. Taarna is being brought back in comics in September and it's a safe bet a movie. I don't mind starting the ball rolling now in Hot Toys mind. Also is Taarna very popular in Japan and China? That alone could get it made.
Also isn't Taarna now owned by the creator of teenage mutant ninja turtles?

That would be Kevin Eastman, the man who married Julie Strain.

Executive Replicas today announced a Heavy Metal line beginning with Taarna.
This is a great idea as long as it looks like the animation. Add the Barbarian leader and dioramas from Taarna.
But the most important quality to it's success will be the sculpting. The Phicen face sculptors have been disappointing to say the least. You need to get Hot Toys level of accuracy for this to work.

I'm looking forward to see what comes out of this line. However, I don't agree with the last line...Hot Toys is really well known for their great human likenesses. I don't think you need quite that level of detail for an animation character, and the few animation characters HT has done always looked a little odd to me. TBLeague/Phicen does a pretty lousy job when it comes to trying to make an accurate human likeness, but their generic female sculpts are really nicely done.

I always picture my ideal Taarna figure looking like this from Luis Royo

I would love a statue or 1/6 Druuna.
That has Phicen written all over it.
Indeed. I’m actually surprised they haven’t gone after this license. Or some of the Image Comics titles like Witchblade & Tomb Raider.
