The Blitzway Speculation Thread

[Johnny Utah]

Drive and American Psycho would harken back to their old 'one and done' years. Carlito is still amazing.

It is so strange that people mention a lot of licences that are already taken by other companies (Jurassic Park, The Walking Dead, etc.).
Did I miss something, or nobody mentioned official take on this:

Heat is an instant no-no because of DeNiro. And you would need both Hanna and Neil. Same for Inception. DiCaprio won't sign off on figures I think.

Die Hard! Would be an instant pre-order for me.

It would be awesome if we could get some official Mad Max Fury Road figures. I've heard George Miller wouldn't agree to them but I'm crossing my fingers.

The figures being released by VTS are not bad, but they leave something to be desired in my opinion. Especially with the quality of Blitzway and Hot Toys, I find it hard to justify paying around $200 for likenesses that are barely recognizable.

Other than that, it would be great to get Edward Norton's Narrator from Fight Club.

Wow...I probably bought about 25 Hot Toys figures in 2016 (including some classics that I had been hunting like DX 11 and DX 08 & 09) and the VTS Wasteland Ranger was still the favorite thing that I got last year. The pictures do not do it justice and in person it rivals any of my Hot Toys figures. This license has been fully covered by VTS as far as I am concerned...all subjective I guess...back to the topic I will lend my voice to the chorus hoping for Bladerunner!!!

I remember an old interview with Frank from HT where he said they wanted to do Blade Runner but the rights are impossible to get. Medicom made a spinner but that was a one off for a dvd set. WB are leaving money on the table if they don't attempt to resolve those issues this year.

ROCKY....

Ooh, Rocky, Tombstone, Mr. Miyagi, Gilligan, Skipper, Emperor Ming, Mad Max, since Xmas is still fresh...Cousin Eddie & Clark Griswald from Christmas Vacation.

Totally missed the Bladerunner teaser over the Holidays! It brought back all the nostalgia of double dipping on the DVD/Bluray releases over the years.

It would be sweeeeeet if Blitzway were to get a hold of the license for the original film.

Decker obviously but I'd moreso shell out for a Rutger Hauer Roy Batty figure. Specifically for the "tears in the rain" version from the end of the film. That's definitely a grail figure for me.

I hope to look back on the potential avalanche of Blade Runner merchandise this time next year with joy. I mean I will splurge and buy almost everything.

 

[jal76]

I am guessing that we will not hear a peep from Blitzway regarding any new licenses until the Ghostbusters figures are actually released which I am guessing will be August - September best case scenario...It is also possible that they won't announce anything new until they at least have an Ecto 1 Prototype to show out of fear that they may upset fans who might infer that Ecto 1 has been abandoned in favor of the new license...yep I think we are in for a fairly long wait to hear about anything new coming out of Blitzway. Shame...I need more high end non Star Wars / no Super Hero figures to look forward to....

As much as I would like to own a 1/6 Delorean, Ecto 1 or even DB5, I probably wouldn't ever buy them.
But a 1/6 Spinner with lights? I would absolutely stump up the cash for that.

 

[Johnny Utah]

The possibility of a 1/6 Rick Deckard trumps literally everything else license wise for me.

I will second that!

 

[Johnny Utah]

Though I must say I'm most likely going to get almost all of Big Chief's 007 offerings. Bond is hugely nostalgic for me, Sideshow's Scaramanga was the first 1/6 figure I ever bought. Ever.

would you not want a Floating Spinner from Kids Logic instead of a 1/6 Spinner you have no place to display?

is it due to superstitious reasons?

i've heard about some kind of black magic where you put nails into a figure of the person you hate. most just put a photo on a dolls head.
