What 1/6 character would be an instant hit???

[rhaykal]

Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang Theory
Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer
Bill & Ted (I dont know how well they'd do, but I know I'd want them)
Dustin Hoffman's Captain Hook
Jay and Silent Bob
A good Daredevil

 

[Malicevil]

Selene from Underworld
Leeloo Dallas from Fifth Element
Johnny Rico from Starship Trooper
Jen Yu from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Richard B Riddick from Pitch Black
Kickass and Hitgirl from Kickass
Jay and Silent Bob from Clerks

You think there are a lot of people aware of this hobby that aren't also aware of The Walking Dead?

I'm sure a large percentage of people into this hobby are familiar with The Walking Dead. Maybe not to the point that they know who Rick Grimes is by name or face though. But the theme of this thread was more of a mass appeal figure. One that would sell to collectors across all niches as well as the casual collector, non-collector and the pop culture fans. It obviously strayed off of that a long time ago.

But I don't think there's any high-end, 1:6 scale action figure that would appeal to a mass audience. If it did, characters like Elvis, Dorothy Gale, Muhammad Ali would be out there already. Mass appeal within the hobby is a question with many more potential answers (but not too many).

A kick ass, hit girl and big daddy set would do very well i think

I'd be down for Hit Girl on her own, not so much the other two.

the idea of spending around two hundred dollars on a doll is beyond the pale for most non-hobbyists, no matter the subject.

You don't need the non-hobbyists to make a figure that's an instant hit anyway.

Mass appeal is irrelevant. Geek appeal is god in this market.

Did anyone even read the OP's post?

Turned into just another HT wish list thread.

I think if this was "what 1/4 figures would be instant hits" the lists would be much smaller

 

[Agen]

American Psycho - Patrick Bateman

 

[lomous]

v from v for vendetta a good one made by hot toys.

I think if anyone bothered to read the first post, this thread would be much smaller.

 

[dominishin]

If anyone, it's Clint Eastwood. No one else here needs a figure more than him.

...just like that 'Best HT figure' thread which asked for a single pick but attracted everybody's top five.

The fact that most here dont read the first post of any thread has been proved time and again, and this thread is another testament of that.

Please close it...
