I've been watching the Clayton Moore/Jay Silverheels Ranger lately, and, while I know HT will make the Disney versions, I wouldn't discount the classic Ranger and Tonto getting made. It would be very nice if a company like Go Hero, who have seemingly found their niche in bringing classic characters to 1/6th could obtain the rights from Classic Media to produce figures from the show, it might be something worthwhile for them to look into with the new film coming out.
In regards to Hot Toys, though, it would probably drive the price up significantly, but it would be very cool if they made The Lone Ranger and Tonto both figure sets with their horses included, as I said, it would probably increase the price significantly, but I have yet to see any truly impressive 1/6th horses, and it'd be cool if a company like HT, with the means to change that, would. (Note: I am assuming that HT would secure this license as it draws closer to release, there has been nothing announced nor even hinted at, just pure speculation.
