With HT locked up with Marvel, DC and Star Wars, in the past couple of years we've seen more 1:6 companies coming into the market and picking up underserved fan favorite licenses -- Star Trek (QMx), Lord of the Rings (Asmus), Harry Potter (Star Ace), Game of Thones (ThreeZero), Ghostbusters (Blitzway), and several others.
Recently smaller companies like PopToys, One Sixth Kit, Toys Era, Crozz Design have been showing characters that larger or mid-sized companies would never get to, This is filling a great void IMO. In just the past couple of weeks alone we've seen Harrigan from Predator 2, TX from Terminator 3 (2 versions), and two Slave Leia figures. While these figures aren't perfect with so-so likenesses, they are actually a far cry better than what Sideshow was producing just a few years ago. In years past the only way to get some of these characters would be via expensive customs or bashes.
That said, which characters or lines would folks like to see from smaller 1:6 companies?
(Note: even though some of these characters might be under the HT line, we know they will never get made/redone otherwise)
My list
TRON -- Quorra, Gem, Clu, Rinzler (light up feature) Original Tron as a bonus line
BATMAN & ROBIN/BATMAN FOREVER -- Batman, Robin, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, Riddler (a better version)
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE -- Louis, Lestat (vampire and zombified) Claudia
PREDATOR -- Mac, Blaine, Dillon. concept female predator
ALIENS -- Hicks, Hudson, Apone, Vasquez, Drake, Frost, Gorman
BLADE -- Lighthammer, Verlain, Reinhardt, Snowman, Nyssa, Nomak
ABYSS -- Virgil, Lindsey, Coffey, alien
