Is there more to this show than just men in suits and women in dresses as the promo photos suggest? Wouldn't make for many interesting figures if it were.

Hmmmm. I dunno. I kind of feel like they need to focus on some of their current lines before taking on more licenses.
Hannibal's suits are more intricate and colorful than any superhero costume. I'd buy 5 different Hannibals in all his different suits.
Now that's one thing that could make this line extremely interesting. Angels, please.And f they make some props from the murder scenes the accessories could be amazing.
They could also do an Eddie Izzard Build-a-Figure.
He does wear nice suits, and I'm not against figures wearing nice suits, assuming the tailor really pulls it off. My concern would be staying power. How iconic is this version of the character, really? I wonder about that with Nucky from Boardwalk Empire, despite the fact that he also wore extremely colorful suits. Seems like you need time to tell if a character from a film or TV show will be something you'll want to keep on the shelf for 5-10 years or so. Omar from the Wire would go there for me, and Tony Soprano, and I doubt Walter White will lose his charm. I'm not 100% sold on TV Hannibal though, despite the obvious quality of the show (much higher than that of Dexter, who was a bit of a flash in the pan in terms of 1/6 figure interest).
Exactly right. No matter how great the show is or becomes, it's never going to beat out Silence Of The Lambs to take it's place as the iconic representation of this particular character. I mean, look at Brian Cox, who also absolutely killed it in Manhunter. You mention Hannibal Lecter, the mind immediately goes to Hopkins.
Oh, and I can just say a big 'hell yeah' to Omar from The Wire (the stand out character from one of the greatest shows ever to grace the small screen) and add in an Al Swearengen from Deadwood. Amen.
