There are other characters I'd really like to have besides Max, too... Wez, the Lord Humungus, the Gyro Captain, just to name a few, but I think it might be best if we concentrate our efforts on getting Max done first. It's a good idea to keep exploring possibilities for other figures while we're doing it, like seeing if Spenser's willing to sculpt Wez for us (and maybe some other characters, as well)... great idea by the way! Once we've got the ball rolling and have some of the production issues worked out, it ought to be a lot easier for us to get started on the some of those other ones.
I discussed the Saturday Toys biker jacket with Billy a while back. I have a set and was thinking about converting it into a RW costume. While it's perfect for the original Terminator, it's quite different from Max's jacket and would require a fair amount of tweaking. I believe Billy used a Biker Brawl jacket and re-sewed it for his RW. Converting existing jackets is definitely not a bad idea, if you can find the jackets parted out, but it still requires a fair amount of modding to make it reasonably accurate. Here's another idea...
If enough of us want RW figures, I'm thinking it might be worth while to have some sets of screen accurate leathers made for us, either in real leather or the imitation stuff. I'd personally rather buy a perfectly accurate, custom-made outfit instead of having to chop up a perfectly good set of Terminator leathers, but I'm prepared to do that if it is absolutely necessary. I'm going to have a Road Warrior on my shelf by the end of this year, one way or another!
So, is anyone else at least interested in exploring the idea of having some RW outfits made for us? Please leave your comments, guys!
