The Blitzway Speculation Thread

[jal76]

I have heard that there are always issues with De Niro's likeness rights but it would be great if they used their Universal partnership to do Casino. Ace, Nicky, and Ginger (De Niro, Pesci, Stone) would be an awesome line up!

Likeness rights. I think it's Robert Shaw's estate wanting either too much or outright refusal of realistic merchandise.

Oh I see. Well that's unfortunate. Thx for the info Utah!

Virtually no chance. Hot Toys owns that license and won't give it up, they're stingy ****s.

Sucks to. I would kill for Dutch and the gang. Was not in the game when they came out.

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

My top five.

Spoiler

1. Rambo ( First Blood 35th anniversary this year)

2. Rambo II version.

3. The Driver (Drive 2011)

4. Neo (The Matrix trilogy)

5. James Bond

Rambo seriously needs some 1/6 love with today's standards.

 

[Lejuan]

My top five.

BCS Goldfinger?

BCS Goldfinger?

From Russia with love is best.

Reminds me of City hunter where the main guy uses someone's shoulder as support.

Tom Cruise also did the same in Jack Reacher except he was the support.

BCS Goldfinger?

Looks good so far, but I still would like a Blitzway version

In fact, I should include Beetlejuice on my list.

 

[Lejuan]

I like From Russia With Love too, but Goldfinger is the Connery Bond BCS is giving us

Just for laughs in my post Tyler Durden figure excitement I sent Blitzway an e-mail asking when they will be revealing their next license...not sure if this was a standard corporate line or not but they sent me a fairly conversational reply and said that they would be announcing their new license before end of Q1 2017 and then displaying it at this year's SDCC...here is hoping that this pans out!

Blitzway keep up the great work and great licences!!!!

Please be Blade Runner.

Please be Blade Runner.

That would make my year!!!! I am sure a whole bunch of other people's too!!!!

 

[Johnny Utah]

They were going to reveal it at the end of last year but it's possible had to wait until it was complete and also in time for the anniversary.

Wait a minute!!!! Are you saying that there was word that they actually HAVE the Blade Runner license?????

 

[Johnny Utah]

No. Just my own theory.

 

[jal76]

No. Just my own theory.

I will take it! My fingers are tightly crossed for this license!!! What a win that would be for them and collectors the world over!

 

[Johnny Utah]

Two things stop it from happening.

1. The legal issues are truly irreparable.
2. Hot Toys. If the license is available, they sure as **** wouldn't let that piece of real estate go to a competitor. They'd only release Deckard anyway with Rachel as a SDCC exclusive.

 

[denrep-lilium]

Actually, it would be cool to have No Country for Old Men 3 figures of Anton, Sheriff Bell and Moss.

 

[Johnny Utah]

Oh yes. No Country For Old Men would be amazing. I watch that film multiple times a year. It's just beautiful.
