The Blitzway Speculation Thread

[potato]

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.

Blade runner license is easy to obtain, there has been quite a few Spinner merchandise. Fujimi has Spinner & Deckard's car in 1/24 model. Hot Wheels or something has smaller diecast cars. Medicom had a standalone & also DVD bundled Spinner.

The problem is with the actors license.

I have to agree, if HT can't do this by now give it to another company!

they already have the Rocky License. they made the 1/4 statue.

Wrong.

Wrong again. They have the license for the 1/4 scale only.

They Live!
Rocky!
Predator (let em take a swing at Dutch and the gang.)
Shawshank Redemption

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

Actually no and who says I don't have the place to display.

Blade Runner all the way- maybe just maybe HT may have it...was mentioned by Howard in the past they were looking into it?

 

[Johnny Utah]

An announcement on the next license would be great about now.

That seems strange...there is no shortage of merchandise bearing Harrison Ford's face...Hot Toys and Sideshow alone have made multiple Fords...not to mention the obvious Hasbro and Kenner contributions...can't imagine Rutger Hauer being too picky at this stage in his career...NECA already demonstrated that Daryl Hannah has no qualms about being an action figure with their Kill Bill line...

not just about movie license & actor's, most movies like star wars already have the toy mentioned inside the contracts, if you go out & get both movie & actor's license it'd cost alot more and it will involve alot more parties, for example the script writer will need another cut out from the movie's license if it was not part of the agreement covered initially.

I remember rumours a while back of Blitzway having the Karate Kid license. Still hoping to see a Daniel and Miyagi in 1/6 form one of these days.

This thread has placed a good focus on what we want from Blitzway but I am wondering what they actually WILL announce as their next license...I want Blade Runner but I doubt that will be coming any time soon...with so few figures from them it's hard to determine if there is a pattern beyond the fact that their first two figures were from Universal Pictures movies starring Al Pacino...They also have not ventured outside of the 20th century yet either...who knows maybe they will do Godfather II? It's a Paramount movie but they clearly like making Pacino figures...

I'd likely buy anything from the 80's era.

Any of these would be a dream:

Rocky (Training Gear)
Feris Bueller
John McClane (Die Hard)
Axel Foley
Rick Deckard (Blade Runner)

 

[Johnny Utah]

I'd like a Part 2 Michael.

I'd snap up a Johnny Lawrence too

Way more awesome than that weenie daniel larusso! Would need the karate duds but also his motorbike giddup.

 

[Autumn Thunder]

Would only get Johnny if he came with Exclusive Skeleton Halloween outfit.

Blitzway would make amazing figures of The Fifth Element...even if you are not a fan of the movie you have to appreciate the character / costume design and who can argue with a great licensed sixth scale Bruce Willis!

This. So much this.
