Movies/TV that you're surprised doesn't have a collectors' following...

[DPrime]

Just watching ^^^^ Tracy here, with all the great characters and superb performances... and I know it's been a while since it's come out and people have forgotten it, but I'm surprised there isn't more of a following for this movie, or collectibles. I don't even know if I'd buy them, but if there were Hot Toys 12" figures of Warren Beatty as Tracy, Al Pacino as Big Boy Caprice, and any number of the other bad guys, I bet they'd be a success.

Any other movies or shows that have sort of been "forgotten" by fans?

EDIT: Haha, couldn't say DickTracy's first name here because of the filters!

 

[A.L.I.E.N]

One word! HEROES!

 

[Mikey2Bullets]

One word! HEROES!

mezco keeps crapping out those figs.

notice i said crapping.

 

[Kuzeh]

Apocalypto....
Seriously, collectibles of this movie would be amazing...

 

[LChinoz]

Comedies...Anchorman, Borat, Harold and Kumar, all of those would be great collectibles. Instead we get Mr. Bean.

 

[man_vs_machine]

Big Trouble in little china. I would kill for the 3 storms, Burton, and Lo Pan

 

[Josette]

Supernatural. After 4 seasons, the last of which improved in ratings....

 

[Balsquat]

Universal Soldier!

I have all of the toy figures from ^^^^ Tracy. They're pretty cool actually.

 

[ProgMatinee]

i don't think its always got to do with what fans would support...its got to do with what companies are willing to make or what studios are willing to sell the license for.

just look at how Serenity/Firefly keeps popping up as being wanted by fans. does anyone make figs? nope.

 

[karamazov80]

Whatever the reason, there are licenses that are screaming to be made in action-figure format. Not the biggest fan anymore, but I was going to say Firefly, as well. Also, Back to the Future has likeness rights issues, so we've only had block figures and Delorean models. But it is hugely popular, and would make great 1/6 scale figures. We need more great classic stars like Humphrey Bogart, James Stewart, James Cagney, etc. More Stanley Kubrick and Hitchcock-related stuff.

 

[Shropt]

Indiana Jones...

 

[Deckard]

^^^^ Tracy, yea, I have all those figures too, I'd love Hot Toys to pick up the license.

Also Full Metal Jacket, Pulp Fiction, Punisher : War Zone, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, and Daniel Craig James Bond movies.

 

[The Mike]

I'm fairly shocked that none of the 1:6 companies have picked up Harry Potter.

 

[Balsquat]

Also Masters of the Universe feature film with Frank Langella as Skeletor himself and Ivan Drago as He-man

I'm surprised we haven't seen a He-Man custom from the Rocky Drago figure.

 

[uscmhicks]

the teenage mutant ninja turtles movies !. Hot toys could do some amazing figures.
The comic and cartoon based ones would probably be wanted more though.

 

[Reinhardt]

Would love figures from Apocalypto!!

#1 on my list is Blade Runner.

Also, would love figs from Smallville and Doctor Who (new). Doctor Who is definitely not forgotten by the fans, but by the companies.

All 1/6 figs.

 

[Darth Caedus]

I'm fairly shocked that none of the 1:6 companies have picked up Harry Potter.

I was going to post this. We don't count TONNER...well because it's Tonner. But a Hot Toys or even a Sideshow 1:6 Potter would be AWESOME. My wallet would hate it, but it would be sweet to get them.

 

[DarkDaysinVegas]

I say Pulp Fiction

I know there is a lot of "mediocre products", out there for this film....but nothing really noteworthy.

I was hoping with SS putting out a Reservoir Dogs 1/6 line, we'd see something very soon.
