No Blade Runner figures for its 25th??!

[Masao]

At SDCC, the possiblity of Blade Runner figures was shot down.

So, if fans were to finally get figures there are two basic questions:

Which company should make them (i.e. which bodies would be best)?

And

Which characters should be included?

 

[EVILFACE]

The rights are said to be a nightmare. If someone was to get them, or do them, I would day Hot Toys.

I'd buy a Deckard, Batty and Pris.

 

[PsychoCenobite]

Yeah, HotToys would be cracking! :chew

I'm just happy I have the Android Hunter figure... he may not be the best figure ever. But he fits the bill. I have a feeling it'll be a long while (if ever) before we see high-end licensed figures

 

[sladesuperagent]

I wouldn't rule out some sorta NECA-type figures down the road, but I'm not holdin' my breath for a sweet 1/6 James Hong as Hannibal Chew!

"I design your eyes, Tyrell designed your MIND!!!"

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, but who wants NECA Not me, I need some 1/6 goodness

I can't imagine anyone but the hardest of hardcore Blade Runner fans wanting anything besides Deckard and Roy Batty. Maybe that's why companies aren't willing to deal with the licensing headaches.

If it did happen though, HT would be the best. They're pretty much the undisputed kings of 1/6 right now.

 

[Batty]

It's probably not going to happen with someone like SSC. I guess there is no available license.

I would love to see HT do them.

During Spook chat Heath said there's been a lot of interest at Sideshow to do BR figures. There's just no plans right now.

And I'm thinking if they're willing to make products for something like Darkman and The Fly, they wouldn't think twice about doing BR. Although I'm guessing the licenses for Darkman and The Fly movies were probably easy to get.

I agree that I would get Deckard, Batty & Pris. All three. Couldn't pass on Pris. And if HT made 'em...WOW is all I can say!

 

[Masao]

After seeing the awful interpretation of Ripley, I am kind of disappointed that HT is the first brand mentioned.

What happened to all the really good sculptors from the bygone age of resin??

 

[wookster]

It'd have to be HT and I'd get whatever they threw at us. But my must haves would be Deckard, Roy, Priss and I can't belive you guys wouldn't want Rachael as well. I still have my old Android Hunter and Anroid 001 but I'd love to see someone do these officially.
Actually J F Sebastian and a few of his little chums would be kinda cool!

 

[DarkKnight2k4]

HT is the only one I would think of for this !

Hmmm... wonder if some customs will pop ?

Ripley is dead-on if you paint her hair black. Have you not seen the prototype?

But I agree that HT's record on likenesses is patchy. SS is better in that regard.

 

[Sachiel]

HT has been kicking ass in likenesses.

I hear what you are saying, sometimes the paint is not dead on for Hot Toys. For me I would love a Deckard, Batty, Pris, Zhora, Leon and Gaff in the Hot Toys style. I think the odds are pretty high that they would get it right.

True! Now if we can just get them to do it!

 

[Prime Clone]

If Darkman is viable as a 1/6 license, Blade Runner definitely is! I wouldn't mind if SS or HT picked up the Matrix license too.

 

[DarkKnight2k4]

Yessssss
