Hot Toys CMMS line idea...

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

CMMS would stand for Cult or Classic Movie Masterpiece Series.

Rather than having a line of figures sometimes i'd like a sytem where a there is a specific line for one iconic character per film, this has been done a few times, but i'd like a dedicated line for cult movie characters

Such as...

DX Superman (Reeves) (already in development)
DX Indiana Jones (up for pre-order)
Marv from Sin City
DX Flash from (Flash Gordon) (all costumes)
Jack Burton from Big trouble in Little China
DX Snake Plissken Escape from New York and L.A
Axel Foley from Beverly Hills Cop 2
Jules from Pulp Fiction
James Kirk (Star Trek TOS, not a movie but still a classic)
Ben Richards from The Running Man

Alot of these are from films you can watch over and over again, to me that is what a classic or cult film is!

Thoughts?

I think they could potentially do this if they were willing to expand their M Icon line. Utilize the Icon status. Rather than making the umpteenth MJ figure,expand it abit, take on licenses and characters that wouldn't normally be taken on, examples:
-Alex Delarge
-Bill the Butcher
-Inspector Harry Callahan
-Tony Montana
-Jack Torrance
-Travis Bickle
-Rick Deckard
-Marty Mcfly & Doc Brown
-Blondie, Tuco, and Angel eyes
-Gary Oldman as Dracula
-Leon the Professional
-a new Rocky figure
-Michael and Young Vito Corleone
-Jake "Raging Bull" Lamotta
...and others
