I wonder-has there ever been a Pyramid Head figurine? He's an icon! Men ant to be him, Women want to...run from him. But a litle PH on my desk would liven up work with interesting questions.

...I nominate the Mattel Battlestar Galactica they prototyped and never produced. That toy was huge, and if they could release something as huge and clunky as that GI Joe aircraft carrier, then the BSG shouldn't have been that much of a stretch!

Though not technically a toy in the strictest sense of the word, the McFarlane Toys Lost Series 3 was expected to contain a Plane Crash box set, but the line was canceled due to poor sales of the figures in the previous two series's. It's a shame, because judging by the quality of the Hatch box set, it could have been awesome.

Aside fro more Manta Force (greatest toy ever?)

I would have to say a Hunter S Thompson figurine. Think of the acessories: Cigarette holder, shades, acapulco shirt, briefcase full of drugs (Samoan attorney sold seperatly)

How 'bout a Smoke Monster action figure? With advance plastic molding, this whispy black puff of somethin' could transform into your dead dog, eviscerate the playground bully for all the school to see or, if you'd prefer, just make weird clickety-clickety Taxi noises while it whisped around your house.

Yeah, I'd pretty much kill a man for that one.

Alabama Man from South Park

"You can take Alabama Man to the bowling alley, where he drinks heavily and chews tobacco"

"When his wife asks him where he's been, just use the action button and Alabama Man busts her lip open."

"I thought I told you to shut up!"

I love the idea of wife beating and bowling in my action figures

I vote for the Watchmen figure prototypes that were previewed at cons during 2000, in anticipation of the 15th anniversary. There were four in total: Comedian (with an alt. head, which I believe was the famous gimp mask), Dr. Manhattan (two variants), and Silk Spectre II.

When they were cancelled, I was a bit angry. :(

Obviously a 1:16 scale Washington Monument model.

Actually, I would love a Detective Norman Stansfield action figure. I did a quick search and couldn't find one. If I am actually wrong and one is out there, link please!!!!

Since Rob already said Cid (and come on Square... who the FUCK would want a Yuffie over Cid?!?!?!?)... I'm not sure what to do for my entry.

All I know, is I want a goddamn Cid! I'm almost willing to shell out a lot of money to a custom maker for a good Cid.
Seriously.

My actual entry is coming at some point, but damn you Rob for reminding me they still haven't made a fucking Cid Highwind!

How has no one said this yet.

G1 Arcee.

Instead we get brokeback Arcee.

A Michael Bay play set. It could include things like a fully articulatable Michael Bay that can be disassembled for your dismemberment fun. A ninja you could hire to ice Michael Bay. And then there are the props, a guillotine, stake to be burned at, noose, brick wall for firing squad. In fact you would have to sell Michael Bay as a stand alone because people would have so much fun destroying him.

Imagine getting home on Friday after getting yelled at by the boss. You get drunk, puke and forget to flush. What cures the hangover blues? Dipping Michael bay in a toilet full of bile.

Frankly your imagination is the only limit on punishment.

PREDATOR ACTION FIGURES

3 3/4", all the main characters, even Danny Glover from Predator 2, and some got-damned Predators as well, kind of like the tragically short-lived Microman Aliens Vs. Predators line.

I have been patiently waiting for these since NINETEEN EIGHTY SEVEN. You hear me, you young whippersnappers? I've been waiting for these since before some of you were alive.

I am sick of using Mercer as Dutch (RED VEST?!! I know he was an ex-Viper, but...he has the hair!), Spirit as Billy (Spirt Ironknife is like Billy before he joined the military and became a hard, hard bastard), Stalker for Dillon (Hardball looked way more like him, but a baseball uniform isn't very useful in the jungle), Recondo for Blain (and Repeater just wasn't enough of a consolation prize, Hasbro), Roadblock for Mac (I always pretended he was shaving off Roadblock's mustache in his shaving-without-anything scene, ret-conning at a young age), later on Bullhorn for Poncho and Recoil for Hawkins.

We DESERVE figures based on the original Predator movies in-scale with the Real American Hero. Imagine the stories to be told before that rough & tumble rescue team took their unfortunate mission into the deep jungle! Imagine the NEXT story to be told when an official Joe team goes back to the jungle with Dutch! Imagine having the original Predator team plus SNAKE EYES!

MY GOD I am mystified that in an age where we're getting fucking STAR SAPPHIRE in action figure form we still don't have some of the coolest, most beloved military action characters imaginable to put aboard the Dragonfly or have drop out of the Tomahawk.

I know we're currently living in the Golden Age of Geek, but this would really, really solidify things for me. I'm not being ungrateful, I'm just fucking desperate.

Rorscach's grappling gun. Nothing else. I would have paid good 1985 dollars to see nothing but an accessory in the Watchmen section of Toys 'r' Us.

I've always wanted to have a collection of zombified figures to make an opposing force for my GI Joes.

I mean, woudln't it be AWESOME to make Snake Eyes/Storm Shadow vs ZOMBIES?

Zombies would be zombified versions of cobra troops, or even...Zombie Destro. Or stuff like that.

I would want Firefly action figures. Especially the Serenity and some of the Alliance ships and the Reaver ships. That would be bad ass.

I always like the Reaver ships. You saw those on the show and you know someone was gonna get fucked up.

Ok idk if this would count as a submission cuz its neither an action figure nor a vehicle, but it IS a toy...

Remember easy bake ovens??

I want a boy version - better yet a man version but instead of easily baking cookies, how about easily making wine, or scotch , or gin or w.e....from water...That's right a jesus brand water to wine easy-bakish oven (or brewery or whatever u wanna call it) yeah I think that toy would kik major ass.

I'd like a full line of the colossuses (colossi?) from Shadow of the Colossus. And yes, I know they did one and I can't freakin find it anywhere. I'd also like to see a Rayner/Kerrigan pairing similar to the one they did for the StarCraft 2 announcement.

And the Big Daddy at work already gets questions, I would not like to try to explain a Pyramid Head figurine to my boss.

Goddamn you, Joe! You stole my answer. G1 Arcee was the shiz.

Hmm... I'd like to see something with the Dollhouse. Something with those beds would be sweet as all shit.

Legend of Zelda, for all of the awesome games and numerous figures and shirts, has missed out on some awesome merchandise that I want desperately - Link's items/weapons stash!

Sure, anyone can find a Zelda-lookalike ocarina online, but how about a Gale Boomerang? Or a perfect model of the clawshot? A bottled poe? Any of the masks Link wears?! A freaking HEART PIECE! I would buy any of this stuff.

I would pay good money for a Navi made out of rubber... so I can throw her at the wall every time I need to release repressed aggression.

Oh... and the one piece of merchandise I WOULDN'T want from Zelda... my own personal Ooccoo. No freaking thanks, demonic boob chicken.

I'm still waiting for McFarlane to add some more musician figures. I’m not that into Kiss and Elvis…
I'd love to see old school Van Halen... Eddie doing his thing, Roth doing some gay ass kick, Alex with a killer drum set w/ gong!! Oh, and (optional) Michael Anthony figure.
I’d also like to see a kick ass Stevie Ray Vaughan figure!!
Werd!

Jurassic Park. Chaos Effect. Ultimasaurus.
These five words have haunted me almost my entire childhood. This was the granddaddy mutated dino that appeared on every single promo for the toyline produced. Part T-rex, part Raptor, part Triceratops, part any other dinosaur that every child loves all rolled into the most bad-ass toy ever imagined, complete with sound chips and battle-damage. I had pictures of it plastered all over my room, I was reminded of it when I bought ever other freakin toy in that line, but it never showed up in stores. Even when the line was discontinued, I looked for it on ebay for years. It wasn't until recently that I found out it never got out of the prototype phase, even though it was shoved in my face EVERY TIME I SAW A JURASSIC PARK TOY! Fuck you, Kenner, for being the biggest cocktese ever.

Here are a couple:

- Support characters from Coraline. The other mother, other father or Mr. Bobinsky would have been awesome. But no, I have to settle with 101 versions of jack skellington. (tiny 3" PVC garbage doesn't count)

- Neca is not producing "Zombie Ed" (from shaun of the dead) which makes me pissed.

- Christopher Walken

Chris Walken. On my desk....

Nirvana.

Also they did release some Collosi in mini format blind packed. I think it didn't include the flying dragon one though-so invariably pointless.

Image comic's The Walking Dead. Specifically post-brutality The Governor. I want me an action figure with his eye popped out and missing an arm. It's a perfect mantle piece. Let us not forget the brutal work Michonne did on his do-dad.

Come to think of it...why has no one done fanfic of The Walking Dead? Is it too sacred?

No one else is gonna say it, so I will: Law & Order Action Figures. I mean, you've got such a huge cast to pull from, and you can mix-and-match partners. Ever wanted to see that Elliot Stabler/Mike Logan team-up that never will be? Put them in the squad car and drive them around so they can punch homophobes and child-rapists with their ripcord-action! Get the courtroom playset with jury included and thrill as they deliver a random verdict at the push of a button! Put your other action figures on trial, and let Jack McCoy cross-examine Prince Adam for embezzling funds from the Eternian treasury, or put Destro on the stand to testify against Cobra Commander for probation plus time served!

1:8 scale Steven Colbert action figure with karate chop action and rocket launcher of Independence.

/end contest.

I have a recurring dream where I go to Toys R Us (actually it's Child World, but that's gone now) and find a whole line of fully articulated figures based on Brotherhood of the Wolf.

That's right, if you haven't seen it, it's the bad-assest historical costume drama/monster/Iriquois kung fu/science fiction hybrid.

I remember there were at least two figures each of Gregoire de Fronsac (regular w/dissection tools and sketch pad and "hunting party" with pistols) and Mani (regular riding gear and all buffed out with tomahawks

The head bad guy (played by a sneering Vincent Cassel) with monster arm, custom one-armed rifle and his wacky bone sword/whip from the final fight

Monica Bellucci's prostitute character with deadly spiked fan

And, of course, the Beast itself, a full sized lion covered in spiky, thorny armor that made it look like a nightmare wolf.

I don't know if McFarlane (back when they were the only ones capable of doing something like that) ever looked at doing anything from that movie, but I, for one, would have bought them all...

Tim
"toy geek"

The best toy that needs to be made and never has is a life sized Bernie from Weekend at Bernie's. Have him set up like a marionette so you can have him walk around with you. Some sweet Ray Bands and the smell of Vermouth on his skin. Who wouldn't want that?

I mean not only could you be the coolest kid at the party but you could also drive the carpool lane and torturer Jonathan Silverman with the reminder of his last good movie.
Also Terry Kiser is awesome and would help you get the ladies

"The Nothing" from The Neverending Story.

Basically it would be a small weather dominator device that, at the click of the button, would produce ominous storm clouds above your head. Extremely environmentally hazardous, but fun as hell.

Gmork the Wolf sold separately.

Tokyo. Now hear me out. There are ton of awesome Godzilla toys out there. Back in the 90's Trendmasters practically made ever major monster. But damn it all we never got Tokyo. What fun is a god damn Godzilla figure if he can't tear Tokyo up on a bi-monthly basis! It could even come with bad acted voices for the little people!

I know there are easily almost a dozen Ash Williams toys out there, I own most of them. But honestly they suffer from limited articulation or lack a full set of accessories, or are purely based on Army Of Darkness.

All I'm asking for is some damn Evil Dead or ED II action figures and a big ol' Cabin playset! C'mon it was the 80s when these came out for crying outloud! Rambo, Robocop, Empire Strikes Back, and Gremlins, all got toys and had gore, dismemberment, and death.

Oh Japan, two words: Tree Rape.

Vince Clortho, Keymaster Of Gozer. His eyes could turn red with a button press on his back. You could even include the colander device Egon puts on his head as an accessory. Also include his dog-demon form as a pack-in. I'd buy that for a dollar.

I'm going to put the cart before the horse and say the best toy that was never made is for the Transformers Movie, and I mean in specific, the replacement Autobot leader after Optimus Prime dies. I know, you're thinking that they DID make a toy of Rodimus Prime, but I'm not counting that douche. Think about it. Transformers: The Movie had a widespread and wholesale ethnic cleansing of the Autobot race in the first 15 minutes of the movie. Why was this done? So my G1 transformers could be buried in my backyard and I'd have to cart-off to Toys-R-Us for new ones(they were buried after dousing with gasoline and burning, it's my Viking heritage and right to do so). No other reason. With that in mind, and with the death of Optimus Prime, I was owed a suitable replacement to buy. All they gave me was Rodimus Prime. A fucking RV, not even a big rig, and he probably didn't even have air brakes or require a CDL to drive. And besides as an RV, you KNOW he had a shitter in there somewhere. How was I, as a logical child (oxymoron) supposed to respect and desire an Autobot Leader with a shitter in his vehicle mode? AND he had flames. An RV with flames. I've never seen an RV with flames, but if there's one out there, it probably belongs to a kid-touching perv.

So the toy I want that was never made is a GOOD replacement for Optimus Prime, not Rodimus Prime the kid-toucher shitter van, and not Ultra Magnus, who seems to spend all his time looking for the top 10 wanted arsonists or some such.

Everything I come up with just reminds me that I already have a plush prinny, which wins. I'm WAY too much of a Disgaea fanboy. A line of Planescape: Torment toys would instantly get my money, though, as would Firefly action figures or Lego Star Gate (come on, Lego is the ONLY reasonable medium for replicator toys).

The Kaylee Frye action figure. I don't mean a statue, but a toy that can be played with. She's cuter than Barbie and actually has a cool job. You could change her out of her coveralls and into her date night dress or ball gown. She can be girly or tomboyish. Perfect.

Guys back me up on this, who would you rather your GI Joes got it on with: Barbie or a super cute and sexually bold spaceship mechanic? I think she and Lady Jaye would get on well.

my choice is easy the best toy that was never made was the shark from the old m.a.s.k . line legend has it it only made it to prototype and the line died never happen and since Hasbro says they can not legally do m.a.s.k. under that name. the thing will be and Gloria baker will forever see her comrads as old playthings

The toy I always wanted was Highlander movie toys with Decapitating Action. Think about how cool it would be to have Kurgan and Macleod face off in the final battle and when the sword touches the character hits the other characters neck his head goes flying off across the room and the winner says "there can be only one." You could have a whole bunch of them like Ramierez, and then you could continue the line with the tv show and movie sequels. It would be like Rock Em Sock Em Robots for the sick and twisted generation.

It blows me away that 5th Element figures never got made. Those would rock.
Imagine series one
Regular Korbin Dallas
Leeloo in straps
Zorg
Police Officer
Modoshebin(spelling?)
The Opera singer
Series two
Ruby Rod
The President
Father Vito
The
That crazy cool Drug Addict guy
A chase figure - The Champ
Vehicles- Taxi
Flying Chinese Restaraunt with figure

SO many cool options

Did they ever make action figures based on the Def Jam Icons game(s)? What about rapper action figures in general? (I think they made Run DMC ones though). I'd like to have 80's (I'm Baad) LL Cool J beat up Disney (Are We There Yet?) Ice Cube. Or maybe the whole of Stetsasonic versus Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch! (and make them out of the 80's WWF Rubber material, so you can bounce 'em around!)

I agree with the Law and Order figures, esp. Ice-T!

A few years ago – okay, fifteen years ago – I pitched an action figure line to a bunch of my friends and immediately got the stink-eye from all of them. The collective silence was deafening, and the looks of disgust and simmering hate were almost painful.

I knew immediately that my pitch was the best idea in the world:
Oliver Stone’s JFK action figures.

Think of the variants:
Jim Garrison in a white suit
Jim Garrison in a brown suit
Lee Harvey Oswald with t-shirt, newspaper, and Mannlicher-Carcano rifle
Clay Shaw with a dinner bell and a whip
David Ferrie with removable wig and eyebrows
Mr. X with D.C. park bench.
Lyndon Johnson with National Security Memo 273
and (obviously)
President Kennedy with Head-Shot Action™

Bad taste? Yes.
Would I have bought a full case of them had they been made? Double yes.

"I vote for the Watchmen figure prototypes that were previewed at cons during 2000, in anticipation of the 15th anniversary. There were four in total: Comedian (with an alt. head, which I believe was the famous gimp mask), Dr. Manhattan (two variants), and Silk Spectre II.

When they were cancelled, I was a bit angry. :("

...Alan Moore was to blame for this. These figures were quite well done, and it's one of the reasons I'd love to shave Moore balder than a cue ball with a weed eater. Some creators just have to learn that the needs of the fans are sometimes more important than whatever little personal ego crusade they happen to have stuck up their ass.

You know about those toy swords and guns kids play with? My little cousins love those. You know what they would really like? A toy airbolt gun, just like the one from "No Country For Old Men"!

I can just see the look of horror on thier parent's faces when one of them says "I'm Anton, so you're dead!", or using the airbolt gun as an excuse to break into the other's room, saying that it can shoot out locks. There are hilarious times to be had watching kids play with this thing.

Meh, who wants Watchmen figures anyway? Better to go direct to the source.

I would want an Alan Moore action figure. And it would have a 'strangle and threathen to kill"-action (wich was what he did to a poor editor at dc comics, named Paul Kupperberg, so mr Moore would get the job to write 'Superman - Whatever happened to the man of tomorrow?'.)

The Prisoner action figures.

No 6, No 2, and a remote controlled balloon pod thing that could roll over and capture action figures. It'd be awesome if the models could float, and the balloon, could roll across watter.

Plus think of the play sets. The Village, the underground. And the car.

Call me lame I dont give a s^^t But I wanted them to make either a boot camp barbie and ken
Or a nuclear scientist barbie

Plus if the ball played the prisoner theme as it moved that would be fucking awesome.

An increadably easy one for my, the best toy I never owned was the 'Monster In My Pocket - Super Scary Haunted House'.

It sounds so dumb when I think about it now.

Basically, if you lived in the States or something and never had this particular franchise, Monster In My Pocket was a range of small rubber statue models of various different monsters and beasts from different cultures and mythologies.

Over the course of an entire year or so, I managed to acquire the entire first set of these little beasts. I was so well versed in them, that I could identify each one in the dark. The day I lost my Tyranosaurus model was a dark, dark day in my childhood - and when I finally found it again, behind a set of drawers when we finally moved home, I was... Well I was 14 at the time and didn't care about them.

On the back of each packaging it stated three important bits of information. First, that if you uncovered a special rare monster, you could win a prize. Second, that there was a pouch they planned to release. All rather uninteresting bits of info... But then, the third notice mentioned, well, see for yourself.

http://www.raumhafen.de/cgi-bin/showp.pl?pic=/galerie/rubber_guys/mimp/ad_s4_12eu&titel=M.I.M.P.%20Ad

Yes! Not just any playset, no! This was a haunted house, inhabited by the most gruesome and dark of all entities! Could you imagine, Dracula strutting aloof across the battlements, while Jack the Ripper slunk through the basement?

Some kids had their Death Stars... But this, THIS would put them to shame! It was everything a pre-teen kid on the verge of growing into a teenage goth boy could dream for. And just look at that drawing on the packaging; it was like a kiddie version of the Norman Bates house! I mean, how could this not be awesome? What kind of things would it have? Well, it had to have slime, obviously. And traps, had to have loads of traps. And hidden passageways, all haunted houses got to have secret passageways... My childish mind went into overdrive!

And yes, I must admit, I dreamed of this thing. Based on nothing more than this cryptic half-message, I dreamed about what this playset would contain and just how amazing it would be. I imagined it having a secret laboratory with real, working Tesla coils, from which Frankenstein would raise his creature. I imagined pulleys and levers that would cause the dead to rise from their graves to feast on the flesh of the living. Maybe it would arrive with special, never-before-seen Monsters, exclusive only to this Playset! Perhaps Bigfoot would stalk the forests outside (well, the gardens at least), or maybe, just maybe, it would be cursed by SATAN HIMSELF!!!

Every time we went to a toy store, I would look for it, eager-eyed and excited. I'd rush down the aisles, hurry to the small Monster In My Pocket display segment, and hope that it was there. Christmas came, and went, and there was no Haunted House. We went to different shops and different malls over the years, and each one I'd check, and none of them would have that toy of dreams. I waited.

And wait.

And wait.

And then, one day, I picked up a new Monster In My Pocket box, and noticed something. The Haunted House was no longer listed as 'coming soon'. It wasn't under the 'also available' box either. It was... gone.

Never to be.

And you know, if I hadn't been totally into something else by that point, I might have cared. But I didn't. Shit, I think Power Rangers were the 'in' thing at that moment or something. Kids are fickle.

A grenade.

Yes, a packaged live grenade that comes with a Fred Durst action figure holding a copy of Shaq Fu attached to it. I would work my ass off to become a millionaire and buy as many as i possibly could for my kids.

Someday i hope to own a nice suburban house with a white picket fence. I wake up one glorious sunny morning to the sounds of joy and laughter of my angelic children. I walk outside and see my kids playing with the grenade/fred durst/shaq fu action set.

The thought brings a tear to my eye. We can all hope for a perfect future.

My vote goes to Law and Order, as long as Det. Bobby Goren has "bend at the waste" action, you know, so he can look up at people while he is standing and they are sitting in chairs...

Avatar the Last Airbender female action figure line, because Mattel or Nickelodeon decided making toys of the two main girl figures (Toph and Katara) was a waste of money, even though they totally kicked ass. Suki would've been cool, too. I decided not to buy any of their toy line since I wanted a complete set, not just the ones with Y chromosomes. (I mean, really. King Bumi over Toph??)

I would have to say this:

http://images.allmoviephoto.com/2002_Kung_Pow:_Enter_the_Fist/2002_kung_pow_enter_the_fist_003.jpg

For those of you that don`t see it:

Whoa, the one-breasted woman from Kung Pow! Enter the fist

This probably doesn't count as there have been a ton of toys for it, but I really want NECA or McFarlane style Jurassic Park toys. In fact, I'd be just as interested in the human characters as much as the dinosaur ones. Ian Malcom, John Hammond... hell, even that dumbass who conned Alan Grant from Jurassic Park 3! They could also include build-a-figure pieces to create a t-rex, or maybe even a brachiosaur (though since ideally this would be a 1/12 line, that would be a huge figure).

Honestly, the thought of having an extensive, highly detailed human cast from all the JP movies standing proudly on my shelf with a few highly detailed dinosaurs makes me wish everyone I've talked to about this didn't think it was lame (dinosaur toys are cool, but the minute you start talking about a movie-accurate Dennis Nedry people look at you funny).

Better try to see it here

I'm going to sound like an idiot, but I always wanted those accessories that you saw in every action figure commercial ever.

You know what I'm talking about, the wall of bricks Wolverine busts through, or the pile of barrels that the kid on the commercial would drive the bat mobile. They were always unique, and when I was younger, always seemed to make the action figures so much cooler.

I would've even bought different sets of accessories for different situations, but all those companies never put out.

Even though there were so many cool movies in the eighties, only one use to bug me that they never made a toy from it and no it is not buckaroo banzi.
For me I always wanted a deker from blade runner. I remember taking my drednok trench coat and making my Han solo besbin over. I would take flints shot gun (accesory pack not the real one) and cut down into a cool pistol.

My sisters Ken doll lost his cloths so my twelve inch Han could go hunt replicants.

I want a Stephen Colbert action figure. Complete with american flag and eagle.

Either a Middleman line OR

Belial from Basket Case!

What fun!

They may not have made Cid toys but they did make a Cid keychain. I got a buddy one for his birthday a few years back.

Remember when G.I. Joe had the USS Flagg battle ship? That thing was absolutely enormous.

There were always 2 toys that I wanted to see a scale version of.

1) An enormous Star Wars Super Star Destroyer the size of the USS Flag. I really wanted the ability to fill that sucker with hundreds of evil Empire cannon Fodder. Complete with the ability to light up and fire lasers.

The other thing I wanted was a Transformers UNICRON. I know they made a tiny version for Transformers Armada, but he was half a planet and he was the same size as their Prime figure. I wanted a huge 6 foot tall Unicron with the ability to transform into a full planet. Obviously, it needed a stand for planet mode display.

I know it will never happen because of his stance on tie-in marketing, but I'd have loved to Bill Watterson release some high-quality Calvin & Hobbes figures and playsets, complete with both versions of Hobbes (doll and imaginary friend). You know the SNOW FORT PLAYSET would ROCK!!!

Barring that, because Bill would NEVER allow it, I'd dig on some old-school Bloom County toys and playsets. I *need* a Dethtongue stage playset. I *need* an Enterpoop playset! I need a set of toys that includes a Banana Jr. and Milo.

In fact, it would be great to mix the Bloom County and Calvin & Hobbes playsets. I think Hobbes is a natural to join Dethtongue.

A Hoshi Sato figure based on the ST:Enterprise episode Shockwave when she lost her shirt on a hook after crawling through a airduct.

So many missed opertunities over the years, but one I can't belive was never made is a Transformers Power Wheels with REAL TRANSFORMING ACTION*©.

Imagine you had an Optimus Prime Power Wheels that you rode around in the trailer of, when it was time for kicking some decepticon ass you pull a level and the trailer lifts up and the sides drop to reveal the mobile command center (with remote controlled 6 wheeled little cart) and the prime rolls out a transforms (fairly easy as his G1 transformation was quite straight forward) and wheels forward swinging it's arms and echoing the voice of Peter Cullen.

Even if the Prime part wasn't motorized and you could just have a Optimus Figure twice the size of a shogun warrior would have have been good enough.

You don't have the Barret they released in the original FFVII Extra Knights line back in the day?

DILBERT BABY!
I have always wanted Dilbert action, or inaction figures.

Wally with his coffee cup. Dilbert sitting at his computer. Pointy hair boss with his puzzled clueless look.

There are cubicles all over the world that scream for Dilbert action figures to help them survive their miserable days.

Hank and Dean Venture, Rusty Venture (boy and adult), Brock 'frigging' Samson, and pretty much any character from the Venture Bros. would be uber cool, especially if done in the 'McFarland' type model.

All said and done, Dr. Orpheus would be my choice.
Perhaps someday. I gaze into an unforeseeable emptiness. Someday.

OK, I see two different lines of attack here, the "why didn't they do this?!" and the "Oh crap, it was canceled!!" line. And some jokers just peeing in the pool to be seen.

OK, I got one. Kenner was going to make toys from Man from Atlantis. For real. Mainly it was the sub the good guys used in the show but there were figures and I think a couple other things. I saw this in a Kenner 'dealer's catalog' long, long ago (back when companies actually sent catalogs to every toy retailer after Toy Fair just because) and Kenner was really behind it. But of course the show tanked (ha haw, tanked! as in WATER TANK!) and Kenner was stuck with tooling for a dead on arrival toy line. Now, I seem to recall that the Sub playset DID get repurposed and had a limited release as some generic 'exploring the ocean!' toy. But I always thought that it would have been cool to have the Man from Atlantis figures fighting the Star Wars guys...

When I first heard that Kenner made prototypes for a 3 3/4-inch Alien toy line, I thought that would've been cool, because it obviously would've been a neat companion to the Star Wars toyline. Just imagine the crossover storylines kids could've played out.....

As to my knowledge, there currently is no action figure of Eddie Murphy in his purple leather suit. I would enjoy that immensely, to a point where it would be my prized possession.

Aside from my own, my favorites so far are Ahriman & forester

So far my favorite suggestions are 6' Unicron, Colbert w/ rocket launcher of Independence, and a complete set of Calvin & Hobbes figures with Snow Fort.

I was gonna talk about the lengths I would go to own an actual Streethawk and Jessie Mach figure. Not the Japan rip that just threw the Streehawk name on a black bike or the faux GI Joe rip. But an actual licensed, weaponized, bike and a jewfro Jessie with removable helmet. Or my other 80's childhood fave Automan. Automan, the copter, cursor, and of course the oh too Tron inspired car. But, after hearing Zombiezeus' Predator idea, I gotta go with that. Dutch and the gang with the Joes, especially if they were done in the current Hasbro Joe molds, that would be too awesome.

I want action figures of the comic book version of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Love Alan Moore or hate him, they had to know he would leave some day so they should have made some damn toys while they had the chance. It is tragically short sighted of DC.

I demand a line of Preacher figures. Just picture it, a little Jesse complete with miniature "Fuck Communism" lighter and a button that makes him use the Word of God. Let's not forget the Duke (John Wayne alone is awesome enough for his own toy line), and I would personally commit horrible crimes for my own Saint of Killers.

Okay guys, bear with me here let's step in the wayback machine for this one....picture if you will a young lad who has just watched Back to the Future II for the first time.

Now picture one of the members of the movie crew (Not sure who) doing an interview. In this interview he remarks how HOVERBOARDS!!!! are actually real and exist but they haven't been marketed because parents groups feel they are too dangerous.

This brings us back to the young lad (me) a few months later reading a Thrasher magazine...in the mag there is a viral (fake) ad for HOVERBOARDS!!! Being a young and naive, our young lad thinks the ad is real.

For months our intrepid hero searches every toy store, sports shack, Wal-Mart and other retail business that he thinks may possibly stock HOVERBOARDS!!!

Eventually our young lad discovers that in fact...there is no such thing as HOVERBOARDS!!!! The crewmember from BTTFII was in fact a lying, coniving, ball-licking, bastard who deserves to have the fleas of a thousand camels infest his crotch.

So, my friends I submit to you that the greatest toy never made was in fact HOVERBOARDS!

Mine's easy. Cheetara from the Thundercats.
What's that you say? They made one? Oh no, not the one I'm thinking about.

Yes, mine would be about 5' 9". Fully poseable of course. Covered in fine ultra-soft simulated fur. Real hair.

She'd look a lot like this... http://www.newnodus.com/ramblings/images/blog/cheetara1.jpg

She'd also have phrases she would say like; "By Thundera!" and "Come pet your kitty" in that sexy husky voice of hers. Oh and don't forget all the Fleshlight inserts she would come complete with.

Yes. I dare say I would get a lot of action out of that figure.

I believe that the obvious answer would be a Freakazoid! toy. I know he's been cancelled for many a year, but with the release of the show on DVD, this would be a perfect time to release that one toy that never was. Hell, have him come with his "Toyetic" Freak-mobile, but only have one in every hundred or so actually work.

Actually, there was a five figure Preacher toy line. I've got Jesse and the Saint of Killers on my wall right now.

Joshie, you are now my best friend. Ever.

I consider it a great injustice that I've never heard of these, but... To hell with it, to eBay I go!

@Jack of All Games: What you want is a RealDoll. I'm pretty sure they'd even do the full-body fur, if you paid enough.

@CTress: Holy damn! It's a good thing I'm happily married (maybe not so if she ever read my post lol) cause I would so have one of those and go broke in the process!

The cartoony ones from their Boy Toy line are a bit creepy though. It'd be kind of like screwing a Thunderbirds puppet :P

If I could go back in time, I would choose a Greatest American Hero suit.

I loved that show with such a passion, I wanted a suit so badly. I actually quit the Cub Scouts when GAH got moved to Thursdays at the same time. There wasn't even a choice, I had to watch GAH.

I remember wishing so hard that aliens would choose me and give me a suit.

LOL, this costume should have been in every toy store. Maybe Stephen J Cannell didn't want kids like me jumping off the top off roofs onto trampolines, or worse.

But I really wanted to fly, and if they had made this I think I could have.

Masters of Rock- Yes, FULLY POSABLE rock star action figures, with realistic guitars, amps, what have you.

Think of the possibilities! Duane Allman and Zakk Wylde in a guitar headcutting duel! Supergroups out the ass! JONATHAN COULTON RAILING THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF PRINCESS LEIA! (Railing here being a slang term for fucking)

Plus band packs for metallica, The Stones, The Beatles, Skynrd, TMBG.

Just to close: Who'd Barbie rather fuck; dumb old Ken or one of the greatest living musicians ON THE FACE OF THE FUCKING EARTH?

You decide...

where's my Big Lob figure? thats the one character that made me say "man i think its time to grow up."

heck if we'd gotten that figure, i wouldn't still be buying gi joes!

@The Great A'Tuin
A) Joe Satriani gargles my balls...
B) Robert Johnson did not have six fingers on his left hand...
C) I think you should win solely for the Wesley Willis w/ authentic head-butt action...as long as it came with a Casio keyboard that had a few pre-recorded tracks and a drum fill button...hours of entertainment.

I had two entry options, and instead of listing the many Metal Gear Solid figures that should've gotten made, I'd do better just asking for one figure that could've been but now won't happen. That figure is:

A comic book style Abe Sapien action figure for the Hellboy line. Did we really need the jetpack version of Hellboy in series 2 instead? Seriously?

Fuck you Mezco.

It kicks ass that we've got Hellboy (of course), Liz, Krauss, Roger, and even Lobster Johnson, but the action figure BPRD feels incomplete without Abe.

Come to think of it, Kate Corrigan would be really nice, too. Hell, pop the Grougough and maybe another creature on and you'd have a great series 3.

A Warren Ellis doll with a t-shirt saying "Warren Ellis made tender, passionate love to my childhoods, and he had an enormous dick."

@Kirk - Read The Brightonomicon. You'll realize otherwize.

How about some from The Big Lebowski that don't look like characters from the "Clerks" cartoon? Would it kill them to make a "Toe-less Nihilist" or a "Door to Door Jesus"? They could make a full line with a "Dude's Place complete with peed on rug" and a "Bowling Alley complete with Sam Elliot" playsets...It would be awesome.

@ZachT We'll always need Jetpack Hellboy in our time of need.

I'm really surprised that nobody voted for figures based on the Heavy Metal film. Just think about it:

Taarna on her dinobird.
Harry Canyon in his hovercab.
Den with lots of weapons and a nude chick at his feet.
Hot stenographer with stoned hippie aliens.
Captain. Freaking. Stern!!

Seriously, what more can I say? How could this NOT be the coolest toy line ever?

Doc

UHF Figures with Spatula World Product placement and a Realistic fire hose

@ZachT- Lobster Johnson is a terrible porn name. Unless it's Lobster porn.

Le Sigh. I would love a "Swedgin" action figure. Especially if he announced to "open the fucking canned peaches."

Okay well my first thought was that you couldn't buy Pee-Wee Herman's bike, but like so many of the other entries here, that's not an action figure.

I guess THE quintessential missing action figures in my life would be Pinky and The Brain. Two simple figures, life size (for a mouse) that could maybe come with their barebones cage so that I could have them "escape" anc cause havoc around the house. (Like I don't already have parrots that do that.) It would also be fun to keep them in my lab at work.

A while back NECA released some high-quality Dawn of the Dead figures. They had some gorgeous sculpts for the plaid-shirt zombie, the Krishna zombie and undead flyboy. They also had zombie Roger in prototype form before abandoning the license.

But what I really wanted was a box set of the human heroes, preferably in the pose from that iconic still of the four of them with their guns drawn, like so:

http://static.tvguide.com/MediaBin/Galleries/Imported/Movies/2/14034a.jpg

I'd love to see some Warhammer 40,000 action figures. I'd love them in 6" scale, but the scale the GI Joes and new Marvel Universe figures are in would be good too. I'd love to have some Space Marines beating the shit out of Spider-Man. And when you think about it, most of the human forces are perfect for repaint city: Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, and Chaos Space Marines all have a basic troop type that you could repaint almost endlessly to make different groups that people'd want. And the vehicles make it even more sound to put them in the GI Joe scale, so you could give them tanks and shit too. Getting some types like Tyrannids and Necrons might be drab and boring since there's not so much repaint potential, but otherwise it'd be awesome.

Wilford Brimley on a horse with a syringe of insulin. AWESOMEST ACTION FIGURE NEVER MADE!!!!! I"D BUY A MILLION JUST FOR MYSELF!!!

Not sure if it's appropriate to the contest, but this seems to be a perfect place to tell my own unreleased action figure tale of woe.

See, once upon a time there was an anime known as The Big O, and while that sounds like a sexual euphemism, it was actually pretty decent. Solid characterization, unique Noir/Steampunk/Dieselpunk Mech designs, and, unfortunately a terrible and pretentious ending. What was is not common knowledge is, like Transformers before it, Big O was made solely for the purpose of selling a line of action figures... which never came out.

While the intended massive toyline never came to be, Big O did get a limited action figure release, mostly in japan. Some miniature character statues, two basic figures of poor quality that were shortpacked, and one garage kit. But the main attraction was a figure line from Max Factory that were very high quality, had massive amounts of articulation and pose-ability, and generally were just some of the best looking non-model kit mech figures I've seen.

http://homepage3.nifty.com/studio-x/b_top.html

They never came out.

They were promised back in 2005.

But what's worse than that is that Max Factory still insists that the figures will come out.

Once every few months, someone in the Big O fan community emails Max Factory about them, and Max Factory once again absolutely swears they'll come out soon, just taking them a little longer than expected, and if we just wait faithfully for another year or two, and hold our breath, and pray to the fairy godmother, we'll get the figures.

In the meantime, I've been looking for someone to translate me a letter to Max Factory to suggest they change their name to 3D Realms, as I hear it's become available recently...

Bill, Ted & Rufus.

That's all I've ever wanted is some sweet Bill & Ted figure action!

I came to say hoverboards, but Beans Baxter beat me to it. Both he and the hoverboards get my vote.

Anyone remember the Masters of Universe sword and shield playset? Great fun. You got a silver sword and shield (like He-man had) and a yellow sword (for skeletor) that glowed in the dark if you left it near a light long enough. I left my ontop of a lamp for 2 hours and melted it.

I nominate an expansion to this set. Imagine getting a Fisto
set, with a plastic chest plate and a silver fist (ala hulk hands), or a Tri-Klops set with a helmet that rotates to different colored lenses. Maybe a Webstor kit, with a chestplate with built in grapple? It'd kill countless kids, but dammit if it wouldn't sell like hotcakes.

Anyways...that's my toy idea, hoverboards being taken and what not.

@Zak :
http://www.billandted.org/merchandiseaction.htm

Best toys never made?

Escape From New York action figures.

Snake Plissken w/ Uzi; variant shirtless Snake w/ nail-studded baseball bat.

Commander Hauk.

President Harker w/ briefcase.

Duke of New York.

Cabbie w/ taxicab and nitro bottle.

Maggie w/ .44 Magnum; variant Maggie w/ removeable skirt and bustier (and admit it, how many of us would do serious hurt to others for an Adrienne Barbeau figure we could strip?) and Brain.

Gulfire glider.

USPF chopper w/ pilot and gunner.

Just sayin'.

As a small child back in the day, I often sneaked a peek at Robocop, that masterpiece of stop motion carnage with a robot fighting the grumpy dad from that 70's show. I got the (admittedly terrible) Anne Lewis and Robocop figures; even an OCP Prison van, but I always longed for a Bob Morton figure. My nine year old brain could not understand why, but I wanted to make that guy pay. All I saw him do was snort coke off of hookers and die. A close runner up would be Dick Jones. There really wasn't much in the way of corporate executive action figures back then; Destro excluded.

Webstor! I loved that toy. In fact I love it so much I took it to school were it eventually fell down from a HUGE climb and broke. I've never been the same since.
Everybody who had Webstor agrees, I'm sure.

Oh, I miss read it! Then it has to be me. I would be the GREATEST ACTION HERO figure EVER! Trust me!!! :D

Zach T., Mezco did make a comic Abe Sapien as an exclusive.

Holy Shit. Give the prize to Dan Marek. That is the best idea ever.

I want a dogwelder action figure from section 8. he could come with two dogs, and have an extra 4 dog bonus pack sold sperately. in order to simulate the welding they could give him a real soldering iron too, just to really allow for the full welding experience. imagine how cool it would be to dispense vigilante justice among your other action figures by really welding dogs to them. imagine all the cool situations you could come up with:

"skeletor, you have threatened the world for the last time; I am now going to weld a dog to your face"
"oh god please no!"

how many other toys would let you pretend to traumatize and defeat your other toys by virtue of actually welding a dog to their faces? none, that's how many and that is exactly why this would be the best toy ever.

Codpiece from vertigo's doompatrol#70

Because they will never make an action figure of a super villain with a massive cannon on his junk that shoots boxing gloves, scissors, and lasers

Naturally his junk should shoot a variety of spring loaded missiles because there would be nothing funnier then taking out your batman action figure with an honest to god crotch rocket.

"Square Enix refuses to make figures of Cid (or Barret, who I also want) for reasons I do not understand."
Not to mention they never released the rest of the FFVIII cast. Or the FFX cast. Or the FFXII cast. And I'm sure they won't release all of the FFIX or Star Ocean cast either...

Dinobot Scramble City style combiner. Designed on paper but never produced for Transformers.

Ok, so it's not an action figure, but I just bought my daughter a sleepover set from Toys R' Us, so I'm going for it. Where the fuck is my Tauntaun sleepingbag with lightsaber zipper and intestine lining? That thing was tits!

I think ahriman has it with hunter s thompson the man was a god and deserves a figure. I would shell out a hundred bucks for it if he came with a pair of aligator tailed waders. I think my entry would be warren ellis' cock. Its got some serious. Nerd cred at the moment.

You guys are missing the greatest opportunity in the land of television action figures.

DR. HOUSE.

Seriously, the man even has a fucking weapon. A giant cane. Imagine all the things that could be done to the end of it. Modifying it to impale dumb patients. Putting a dildo on the end to fuck his female subordinates from a distance (surprise!) and sticking a scalpel on the other hand so that he can cutabitch from a distance. Because you know he would.

And yes, I do sound depraved and wrong, because your FFF has done that to me, you bastard.

Star Wars Tonnika Sisters w/ smoking apparatus. Hasbro absolutely refuses to make them. A-holes.

Bea Arthur as Ackmena from The Star Wars Holiday Special. I'm not a fan of the series of films or the toyline, but if Hasbro would make this, I'd buy it just for the sake of having a Bea Arthur action figure. Harvey Korman sold separately.

Beans Baxter you inappropriate bastard... you just stole the show with that one.

@Napalm2112, that would be great if Wilford had a push-button ability to say "diabeetus"

I know this will never happen. But I can dream can't I? I would love an Alton Brown (of good eats & ICA fame). He would be fully articulated of course and come replete with a set of Shun knives, and his iguana Spike. He could also come with a sweet BMW motorcycle, or at the very least drive the Mcfarlane/bungie Halo 3 mongoose if it ever actually gets released.

More realistically, A half-life line would be nice. With Gordon, head crabs combine with Breen-screens and DOG (for god's sake, no Alyx) and a gravity (and portal) gun!

Just think... Alton supplying the knives as ammo for Gordon and his gravity gun while they rode together into the sunset of another culinrary/zombie adventure. That would be the life.

I have little to no clue whether this has had some obscure limited release in the past or not BUT I would love to see a Taarna from Heavy Metal (1981) action figure. Except the jugs would be made of "Stretch Armstrong" material and could be 'formed' however you like. As well, whenever you pose her in any kind of sexual pose, say straddling the Loc-Nar (sold seperately), the Heavy Metal theme would play from inside the Taarna action figure. I'd buy it.

@Varrior I Wouldn't be surprised if the House dildo-cane idea isn't a fanfic already

The Dirty Dancing action line. Let's have a ripped Swayze figurine in a wifebeater, with action grip around Baby's waist to pick Baby up over his head over and over and over again... And I want the stage playset.

That, and if the Law & Order line ever got made, that'd be a double whammy of sweet, sweet Jerry Orbach action figure awesomeness.

I'll tell you what I want.

I want a WHOLE line of action figures consisting of all the female characters that have been unjustly ignored over the years, due to the continuing bone-headed pig ignorance that makes toy companies think "girl action figures don't sell". More importantly, this line would render each and every girl ACCURATELY, as the few female characters who DID get action figures usually looked like deformed burn victims... either that or they were posable as bricks, defeating the purpose of making action figures in the first place.

This line would have it all: Arcee, Scarlet, Lady Jaye, Baroness, She-Ra, Teela, Evil-Lyn, Jean Grey, Storm, Rogue, Pilot Jenny, Sally Acorn, Bunnie Rabbot, Callie Briggs, Gadget, the countless Pink and Yellow Rangers...

And contrary to what some of you are thinking, I do NOT want this line for perverted purposes... not entirely, anyway.

Here's my REAL reason: What better reason to have armies of male action figures fight each other than over beautiful ladies?

All I want is a Batmobile/Batjet that transforms into a giant Bat Mech robot!! It must fit a Batman figure and it must have Superman stomping action and .

That... and a 1:18 scale solid snake and metal gear rex that could eat my old gi joes..

Any of the buy a shit ton of action figures in order to collect the parts to put one together for yourself. They don't put them together you do.

Star Wars did it with HK-47 an action figure. I would have actually bought if i didn't have to buy 6 dumb as hell figures. Who the hell wants a young Aunt Beru let alone the douche that is the young Uncle Owen, and ooooh a concept artwork Anakin.... I'd rather die in a fire will being digested by a sarlacc while suffering the intense vomiting and diarrhea that is the Krytos virus.

Marvel did the same thing with Galactus... there are no words as to how badly i want a Galactus looking down from the top of my monitor down at me.

On the upside of these figures, at least they aren't the DBZ or any anime assemble yourself action figures, those things were worse than trying to put together a product from Ikea with directions from Amanda Tapping (sure you'd be listening but your mind would be someplace else... a wonderful place).

Some good ideas there (esp Venture Bros, 3 3/4" Aliens, 3 3/4" Predator) but I have to throw another vote in for Big Lob, and Pythona, from G.I. Joe The Movie. How dare you make a movie about toys, and not make toys of prominent characters in that movie, Hasbro. How. Dare. You.

Westworld Action Figure:

Yul Brynner's Gunslinger with removeable face, silver eyes, and gun drawing action.

How has there never been a line of figures based on Michael Moorcock's Elric series? Even just a 12" Elric figure by itself. With a light-up Stormbringer whose runes glow red on the blade. With soul sucking action! Glowing red eyes effect.
Or a whole series including Elric, Moonglum, Jagreen Lern, Zarozina, Rackhir and all the favorites. A to-scale dragon Flamefang. You see where I'm going with this? Hell, a whole Eternal Champion line with Hawkmoon and Corum would end up on my shelf. Ooh! And we haven't even gotten to what you could do with the Lords of Chaos. There could be 4 versions of Arioch alone in the Tod Mcfarlane cenobite style.

Tom Cruise South Park Variant- with Closet! Put Tom in the closet! Now try to get him out of the CLoset! hours of FUN!

Milton From Office Space- Comes with Stapler!

Did they ever make Bill & Ted figures? I would've KILLED for Robo-Bill and Robo-Ted.

I've got 2 Votes.

Firstly, PYTHONA from the GIJoe animated movie. They made all the lame Cobra-La folks but missed out on the awesome chick.

Continuing on the awesome girls never made bandwagon, every female character from C.O.P.S. An awesome toyline with some pretty important and cool female characters (Nightshade in particular) and they never made a single goddamn one!

Basically, any jumbo-sized (24'') Shogun Warrior, but with an opening head, and a cockpit in which you could put a small action figure. This is 2009, we have the Soul of Chogokin series and all sorts of nostalgia-inspired stuff and I can't believe the Japanese still haven't made these. If I have to pick one specific Shogun Warrior, I'd probably go with Grendizer since I watched the show as a kid, but Mazinga would be nice as well, with a separate "brain condor" (the small plane that inserts in his head).

I'd love to see some Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers figures.

ID from Xenogears. For the love of all that is unholy, let it be ID! Maybe I missed the figurine fervor in the land of the rising sun (and falling pantsu) at the time of its release, but I swear that Xenogears never got the proper figure love that all other giant mecha series are practically guranteed to receive. I've never seen a single Xenogears figure, come to think of it. Some products, but never a figurine.

Frankly, I'd love for all the characters and gears from the series (if Revoltech, all the more godly), but if it had to be just one, I'm declaring a need for ID. Toss a nice sized ID on top of his godly red gear (in scale to him), and I'll squeel like a rabid fangirl who just spotted a bishie. Yeah, I'm part of the anime/manga/nippon fandom, but "meh", I'm still a nerd at heart, and it's the inner nerd that counts, isn't it? Tell you what - get me my ID, and I'll squeel like a pig. Does it get more Western than a Deliverence quote? I think not!

What would I do with ID? Hook him up with Rei Ayanami, of course. In the world of mecha, you don't get more badass than ID or creepy sexy adorable awesome than Rei Ayanami. It's a match made in heaven (a heaven where angels descend to kill humanity, but let's not sweat the small details).

All of the original villains from the 1960s Spider-Man animated series.

O.K. here's what I want,

Of Course the venture brothers as 3 3/4 inch 2 packs so yuo can get hank and dean, doc and Brock, and for any obviously solo fig, give him a monarch henchman, Unterland soldier or member of Malice troop!

Also Got to have figures from firefly (those three from diamond don't count, mal Jayne and reaver come on!!!!) instead I'm thinking mego retro with cloth costumes, and variants like Shindig Kaylee, or Big hair Book.

Also FIGURES FOR RED DWARF: preferrably in either 3 3/4" or Dr Who scale, With a Kryten with spare heads, many chase variants of the Cat, and Real smell Lister who smells of Lager and Curry, a Star bug and bridge playset are a natch and I guess we can have a rimmer figure or too as well.

Also Ranma 1/2 preferably with cloth costumes and transforming features :)

The fucking Sandworms from Dune. Made to GI Joe scale, they would have to be about a foot in diameter and twenty feet long. Able to swallow whole hordes of other action figures while your Kyle MacLachlan and Patrick Stewart action figures from unrelated franchises ride atop them to glory. Herd of wild My Little Ponies cluttering up your sandbox? Not in my fucking backyard they're not. Also, they poop edible Spice. Sold separately.

I second Om's 'Battlestar Galactica' toy. That woudl have been a really fun toy to wake up to on Christmas morning! Matell really fraked up by not making that one!

There was never a specific figure I wanted. However, since I was six and still played on my N64, I've always wanted Super Smash Bros. figures. Everyone fights with their action figures, but I could have reenacted the whole game! All the fuses full in the living room? BAM, bring out the figures! Only have one controller? No problem! All my friends would have been SO JEALOUS. It just gets worse now that Melee and Brawl came out. Even now, I want to be the Master Hand and make Samus kick Link's ass. What kid doesn't want that?

I totally vote for Forester and the Venture Brothers figures. Get that done now and send me my Monarch fig!
Also lovin me some Hunter S Thompson figurines, but....
Why was there never a Flight of the Navigator toy?
Have it big enough to fit a GI Joe, and talk? I'd have been the happiest kid ever!
A bad ass metal starship voiced by Pee Wee Herman? Ya, I'll take one!
Plus I'm not the only one that thinks so, those Naboo ships from what's his fucks raping of our beloved Star Wars, look an awful bit like ol' Max.

A Moral Orel playset.

You'd get Orel, his dad, his mom, his brother, the pastor, and maybe a few other characters.

Then a church set for the dolls and a set for Clay's study. Clay, of course, would come with removable pants and belt.

Superhero action figures have been around for decades, and nowadays there are so many different lines and products that it boggles the mind why this one specific superhero hasn't been made - who just happens to be my favorite superhero.

Madrox the Multiple Man.

He's decidedly B/C-list, but has recently received a resurgence in popularity thanks to the success of Peter David's X-Factor series. And Marvel Legends, and this new smaller line, have surely created figurines of characters far more obscure and less popular. So why not Multiple Man?

Here's the mind-boggling point: His super power is to make exact duplicates of himself, clones, if you will. Therefore, any true fan who wants to own a Multiple Man action figure would almost certainly buy multiple figures to recreate his power set. I know I'd buy at least 3. Here is an action figure whose whole purpose is for people to buy him over and over.

How many Claw-Slicing-Action Wolverine figures are you going to buy? Just 1. How many Multiple Man figures? As many as you want!

It's a no-brainer.

The Rebel Blockade Runner for 3 and 3/4 Star Wars figs.

http://theswca.com/index.php?action=disp_item&item_id=48884

It was mocked up and ready to go, but they just. never. made it.

I've hunted around the Hasbro Q and A's and seen people ask for it. I've even BEGGED Hasbro myself for it. Via the QnAs and by email. Their answer is frustratingly static:

"We only produce toys that were 'iconic' in the Star Wars saga."

What?! I'm sorry, but what the hell is more iconic that the Rebel Blockade Runner getting routed by a gargantuan Star Destroyer in the opening scene of the original Star Wars? I have an x-wing (2 actually) I have a TIE fighter and the Falcon. I WANT THE FRICKING BLOCKADE RUNNER.

Not a electronic 'model'. Not a LEGO version. Not an "action fleet" thingy, or a matchbox rip off. I want a vehicle-playset just like the BMF with exploding main deflector, a torch scorched access door, a firing escape pod for 3PO and R2, and shining white halls waiting to be bloodied by Vader's super-articulated 501st with the screams of rebel vermin.

Is that too much to ask?

A moment for the Venture idea (easily the best one on here). You'd have to have a Grand Galactic Inquisitor, standing two heads of Brock, with a button that would SCREAM "IGNORE ME!" at top volume. You know...the kind of toys that exspouses buy their children, and then send to the other parent's home.

My own idea would stem from simply the worst Wes Craven film ever made. "Deadly Friend". The first film I liked because of how bad it was. Think of it:
Smug-Ass Paul with interchangeable Poly Tech shirts of different colors.
Passed Out Mom on Couch Playset.
Elvira with Exploding Head Action (Accessories, basketball and shotgun included).
Badly Directed Kristy Swanson with Pop-eyes and Big Floppy Rack.
B.B., the World's Most Annoying Fucking Robot, with Bread Basket Chest!
Tom: The Only Grown Teenage Boy to Die of Shaken Baby Syndrome.
"Slime" with Detachable Balls.
Sam's Dad with Extra Crispy Skin, and Wicked Backhand.

And, of course, UltraBB/Sam from the very confusing ending of the movie. That's right...a robot with fangs bursting right out of Kristy Swanson's skin!

I so would have bought that whole set!!!

I was going to suggest Re-Animator, but some of those have been made. The important one, anyways.

I remember years ago watching Black Adder and thinking these would make great figures. Black Death Plague and bedchamber not included.

As the world's first analrapist, Dr. Tobias Fünke deserves an action figure, with non-detachable cut-offs (befitting a never-nude) and the option to have it (poorly) painted blue. A toy that could potentially stain your hands is always a good ides.
And think of the alternate costumes: "leather daddy" Tobias, "gay pirate" Tobias, and "hippie" Tobias, with optional autoharp and bottle of Teamocil.

I would like a collection of action figures inspired from the Sunday funnies. Yea sure some of them have some but there is so much more that can be done.

-Zits with his broken van
-Prince Valiant killing something
-Sarge clobbering Beatle Bailey
-Calvin and Hobbes doing anything
-Hagar the Horrible on his kick ass viking ship

Just an idea but I think it'd be pretty cool.

Yo Rob! They did make a Barret figure back in 1997 under the Final Fantasy VII Extra Knights figures by Bandai.
http://www.tuulisti.com/ff_figures_extraknights_usa.htm

Individually you could get: Cloud Strife, Aerith Gainsborough With Chocobo, Barett Wallace, Red XIII, Tifa Lockhart, Legendary Soldier Sephiroth, and Vincent Valentine.

There was a four pack that contained: Cloud Strife, Aerith Gainsborough With Chocobo, Barett Wallace, and Tifa Lockhart.

My cousin has the four pack plus the Sephiroth and Valentine figures. I remember seeing on the back of the blister pack that a CID figure was supposed to be release, but it was never made. There is no Yuffie figure for that series.

To me the elusive CID figure is as annoying as the "Distructo Disc" (Kienzan) Krillin figure that Bandai never made, but showed a picture of along with the Saiyan saga version of Gohan. Bandai is such teasing tramp.

back when i was a kid and well into adulthood there were a lot of figures i wanted to be made, like gremlins 2 figures (i know neca made some but where's my spider and bat gremlins?), good willow figures, figures from robert rodriguez's mexico trilogy, even sideshow type 1/6th scale figures...but what i always really wanted was:

wu-tang clan figures. the rza, the gza, ghostface killa, u-god, inspekta deck, ol' dirty bastard, raekwon the chef, the masta killa and of course the one and only method man. they could feature the actual likenesses of the rappers themselves, but of course the bodies would be highly articulated masterpieces each in unique ninja/kung fu/samurai/vaguely asian garb, with appropriate weapons. give ghostface killa a kick ass mask. and method man (johnny blaze) would have some wicked flame projectiles. give u-god (aka golden arms) some mother effing vac-metalized gold cybernetic looking appendages. rza could have all kinda swords and crap and ol' dirty bastard...he would just fuck you up. yeah maybe masta killa would be a pegwarmer, but the hardcore fans like me would bite.

all proceeds from the sale of the toys could go to the many, many children of the late ODB (aka big baby jesus) himself.

And gza could have an actual liquid sword! Monkey Boy should win.

Don't forget the Wu-Tang torture accessory pack, with the spiked baseball bat, the dresser and the wire hanger/stove combo...

and a torture victim! with his butt sewn shut so method man could keep feedin him...and feedin him...and feedin him.

I just want a 1/6th scale figure of Clint Eastwood based on The Man With No Name trilogy. Hopefully it would be made by Medicom or Hot Toys.

Chad, you stole my response for the Shark from M.A.S.K! So I'll go with something else...

Howzabout an action figure line of "The Ice Pirates!"

You can relive the adventures of Jason, Princess Karina, and Roscoe as they do battle against the Supreme Commander to rescue Karina's father, and gather ice! That's right - ice!

also, built in ad-line "Wu Tang Toys Ain't Nothin' ta Fuck Wit". Shit sells itself.

My god matt, you are right! The world NEEDS a Codpiece action figure!

The world could do with a Vodak action figure, and I can't no one's approached me for any licensing opportunities. I'd come with a playset, including couch, tv, and computer. You could simulate my everyday life of sitting around and zipping around the internet!

Hmm, this is probably as close to the contest idea I suggested a few weeks ago as we're going to get (or it may even be spot on, I'd have to check), so this seems like a good time to roll this out.

Probably won't win, with stuff like hoverboards in our midst, and Andraxx above me here hits really close. But allow me to take you back in time, to the late 80s/early 90s...

Nintendo Mania is at its peak, and everywhere you look, there's Mario's mug. Pencils, folders, shirts, snowboots, bedsheets, storage chests, plush dolls, wind-up toys, ice cream sandwiches, candy bars, cartoons, comic books, Happy Meals...

And yet, no one stepped up and made a Super Mario Bros. action figure line. It was something I had always wanted, but never really got.

I know what you may be thinking: Yes, there have been Mario figures over the years, but they've never really been "there," so to speak. Applause made little, unposable figurines in the 80s that looked good, but did nothing.

Toy Biz made Mario Kart 64 figures, which are rather nice, but a little too tied to the whole go-kart thing. Recently, PopCo Entertainment/Corgi/Master Collector has begun releasing imported molds from Japan of Mario and friends. They look great, just like the games, but are lacking in articulation, and have no "action" to speak of.

In the 90s, something close came out... close, yet so far away. Super Mario Bros. action figures... based on the movie. Bob Hoskins as Mario, John Leguizano as Luigi, Dennis Hopper as Koopa, Iggy, Spike, a Goomba, and even a Dinohattan police car and Devo Chamber were made. Posable, in a scale that would work with other toys, action features, vehicles, playsets... this could've been it, except it was based on the movie. Now, I love the movie, despite everything, but just as people who like the movie will tell you, it's still not the same thing.

Let me paint a picture for you based on what I always waited for someone to announce. I wanted a Super Mario Bros. line of action figures based on the games. Something that looks good, has articulation (at the time, a basic level would have been fine: shoulders, legs, neck), some action features thrown in, and plenty of characters, accessories, and playsets.

For example, Mario. He's like a blank check to create variants. Regular Mario. Fire Mario, with a spring-loaded fireball missile-launching action (or, conversely, make the arm throw it like a capapult)! Raccoon and Cape Mario, with tail/cape-smashing spinning action! Hammer Mario, Tanooki Mario, Frog Mario, and so on. Maybe a light-flashing Invincible Mario with Starman!

Other characters of course range from Luigi to Toad, Peach, and Yoshi-- just for starters.

Oh, and for Super Mario and friends? Well, there's the key to a second line of figures at a larger scale!

There would be no shortage of enemies to choose from: Goombas with wings and Micro-Goombas, Koopa Troopas with removable shells, fall-apart Dry Bones, Shy Guys and Snifits-- lots of troop-builder material, plus bigger guys like egg-firing Birdo, or bomb-throwing Mouser. The Koopalings, each with a magic wand and transformed king, stuck as an animal! And of course, big King Bowser himself, who could shoot fireballs from his mouth, maybe even throw hammers.

Vehicles would be easy, and I don't mean Mario Karts (though those from Double Dash!! would be fun). Doomships/Airships and Bowser's tanks, or the Koopa Clown Car (with Mecha-Koopas and perhaps a big ball) would be fun stuff. And before anyone knocks the airship idea, check out some of SMB3's art; there was a more compact version used in promotional materials and such.

And playsets! Castle Koopa, with its laser-shooting statues of Bowser and crumbling bridge with ax! Fortresses with lowering spiked ceilings, lava pits, roto-discs, and Boom-Boom Koopa! Even Peach's castle has potential.

I could go on and on... but I think I've given you an idea of what I've always wanted and dreamed of, but mysteriously, no one ever capitalized on. It seems like such a natural fit, and the strangeness of Mario's world seems like it would also make him a good "go anywhere" type hero, from your living room to the kitchen table to the backyard. The whole world's an adventure!

What I had to make do with growing up was the aforementioned Applause figures. They were soon accompanied by the Super Mario Bros. 3 Happy Meal toys-- not the springy Mario and cloud-riding Luigi, though. They mostly sat aside as I would let Little Goombas and Koopa Paratroopas get in the way of my figurines.

...except one: the under-3 toy proved to be the most valuable to me. It was a finger-puppet of Raccoon Mario, fixed in a position with his arms as if he were jumping in the game, though his feet remained flat. A little weird, but a good size.

Eventually, I took it upon myself: If some toy company didn't want my (parents') money, then I'd make my own toys! And so I freeze-framed video tapes I had of the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon to draw and color my own Koopa castle, Doomship, and tanks, as well as tiny "figures" that were drawings of Mario, King Koopa (going by the toon version here), and all their lot. I cut them out, and affixed them to some posterboard-type material, and made wands and other odd stuff, and used those to stage my own adventures. I think I still have most, if not all of them buried away somewhere.

Even still... it just wasn't quite the same, and I don't know if there's really a market to support such a venture today. The current PopCo figures seem to be selling well, though, but even then, I doubt they'd reach that far back for some of those ideas. Nonetheless, some of the modern cast wouldn't be so bad.

You know, I like the idea for Law & Order figures! Cast my vote for that one. That's a LOT of figures (from each show) and the team-ups are near limitless!

I just want a Psylocke action figure that actually looks Asian. I waited years for that Marvel Legends figure and I end up with a tanned white girl?

I want a 6 inch line of generic thug type figures. Supervillains are great and all, but sometimes you just want someone your hero can beat down without a problem. Characters like Spider-man, Daredevil, Punisher, and Batman who focus on cleaning up the streets need thugs to fight/ kill if its Punisher. Plus they could double as low level henchmen. The line would include a mugger with purse accessory, a gang member with bat, gun, or brass knuckles, drug dealer with drug paraphenalia, a bank robber with bags of cash, the list could go on.

Ever since i was little and read Marvel's Transformer comics i've wanted Skids. Not the G1 toy of course, but one in the current Classics 2.0/Universe series. Dunno why, but i always loved the character.

However i gotta cast my vote for the Stephen Colbert figure.
Provided he comes with a flag, an oscar, and a rocket launcher.

Morgor the Bone Dragon from Skeleton Warriors. Shit, Playmates could still release this without the Skeleton Warriors logo on the box and it would still sell like hotcakes. Why? Because it looks fucking awesome. We were robbed.

Well, I think some Discworld action figuires would pretty sweet. Proper nicely scaled ones, not shoddy desktop plastic statues.
Think about it, Rincewind with running away action, Death and his accessories (trusty scythe, egg roll and kitten) and Granny Weatherlox with LYING DOWN HEADOLOGY POSE or a Captain Carrot with a real shiny breastplate and teeth you can polish. Even a Luggage which you can somehow fit at least an entire figuire in.

Also, I would like some pretty well done plastic statuettes of the Team Fortress 2 classes posing with their weapons and taunting. Complete with button that activates said soundbye for the taunts.

No one's said this one yet?

Srsly?

Nurse Joker.

Dinosaucers... Most cartoons being 22 minute toy commercials, I can't believe that this cartoon did not have an associated line of toys to go with it. There were at least a dozen characters and each one had their own ship as well. I think that there were mother ships as well. There was a planned toy line but they were never released. Although I was a bit old for these toys at the time I still kinda wished they were released.

Death Bed Optimus Prime

How cool would that be, you could act out your own death of optimus prime.

I would like to withdraw my previous entry. After further consideration and inspiration I would like to pose the following figure. As he is a prick for all things presented outside the comics medium, I find it suiting that an Alan Moore action figure be constructed. The beard, long hair, somber dark sweater and maybe tan trench coat could have interchangable arms (like Swamp Things) or accessories like type writer, smiley face button, etc. A homage to the work of a man who wants to see his work only represented in comics, ironic with a kung fu grip.

I LOVE Liam's idea of the Dune Sandworms. Fucking awesome. Kul Wahhad!

I'm throwing my hat in here with the Master's of the Universe figure... The Fearless Photog...

Back in the early/mid 80's when He-Man was all the rage with the kiddies, Mattel held a create-a-character contest in which the winner would get their character made into an action figure! Fucking awesome right?

Well a kid named Nathan Bitner won that contest with his camera/based character creation named Photog. Photog was apparently fearless... However, Mattel being the cheap company it is, couldn't justify making molds for a new figure that replicated Nathan's design and decided to just sent him to Disneyland instead... Needless to say, they probably broke and 11 year old kid's heart and his figure never got into production...

Here are some pictures of his design... the http://www.grayskullmuseum.com/conception/Fearless.htm

Dr. House and Colbert figures? I'd buy those... or maybe drool over them.

But is there no love for the Spanish Inquisition? Think about it. 6 inches of pure Monty Python menace. I can already see the accessories: a rack and a comfy chair, maybe some tiny cushions. The Michael Palin figure has to be fully articulated and dressed in highly fetching red cardinal robes. But the figure has to be wearing fishnets or a lumberjack shirt underneath for more fun.

Think of the potential of this item, how beloved this set is going to be. Backpackers around the world will carry it with them for odd photos at exotic locations. Tweens with hip parents will terrorize their friends with it. Work in painfully boring cubicle land will grind to a halt, simply because NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!

I'm surprised no one has snapped up the license to make Sopranos figures. I think it would only a need a few waves, and they should be in McFarlane style - realistic, but exaggerated a bit to bring out their sneering tough guy personas. It would be awesome to have Tony, Paulie Walnuts, Big Pussy and the gang lurking on the shelf.

Well, being a kid of the seventies I always wanted a sweet classic Sleestak from Land of the Lost! The closest thing was a MAYBE an alien from Star Wars such as Greedo (yea right-THAT SUCKED!) Hell the only thing even today are bobble heads or banks from Funko! I haven't seen anything from the new movie yet... so maybe my wish to the Blue Fairy will come true that instead of my Real Doll becoming flesh and blood (she'll probaby hate my small wad anyways)I'll get a sweet classic Sleestak of my very own!

HA! I remember Fearless Photog. I was so excited for that He-man figure.

For many years, I was under the impression that figure was made, but I just never found it. It wasn't until I got internet that I discovered we were screwed and misled.

Damned Mattel

Tetsuo as a giant mutant freak.

Sure, we've had a lot of Akira figures over the years. There's a lot of cool ones with Kanada on his bike, Tetsuo looking angry, and even one with Tetsuo looking at horror at his mutated arm, but never has there been a figure that fully captures the glory of his ultimate loss of control, culminating into his transformation into a giant, ugly, bubbling, baby thing.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_vwt55TQq-3k/SN6R1fLVdII/AAAAAAAAC80/HjsvPoJAw3k/s320/akire+tetsuo.jpg

That's what I'm talking about! Give me a giant, ugly mutant so that I can put it next to a small child and say, "You see that! That's what happens when you do drugs! To be more accurate, that's what happens when you do experimental drugs and then you lose your supply from the government, but you're clearly losing the intricacies of my statement because you're crying now! Suck it up, kid! Welcome to THE REAL WORLD!"

Hell, it could even be made of playdough or something so that it can morph into new interesting shapes when you squeeze it. Maybe even somewhere that you can put puss so that it can ooze from time to time, and even a button so that you get some authentic Kaori crushing action.

That would be the coolest thing ever.

In the original Transformers G1 comics, there was a badass special forces team called The Wreckers, two of the members of which were Rack'n'Ruin (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/02/RackNRuin.jpg). Formerly separate Autobots that turned into jets, their bodies were fused together after both suffered debilitating injuries.

A set of these two guys would have be cool because:
-Probably the first Siamese twin action figures (Go diversity!)
-Certainly the first Siamese twin robot figures (Groundbreaking!)
-Separate, transforming bodies that could then lose an arm each and conjoin-i-form together (2 for 1!)
-Crazy amounts of exchangeable melee weapon arms (Endless play combinations!)
-Spring-loaded arms for super-bludgeoning action (Action feature!)
-Very similar figures allowing for efficient mold sharing (Marketing savvy!)

Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs with his garbage tucked between his legs... it would be the most fucked up terrifying figure ever.

Lot of good (and weird) choices on here,but I've got to go with those who want Firefly/Serenity figures. I've actually dreamed about finding those in a store one day...make 'em 3 3/4 scale,throw in tons of accessories(guns,booze,apples) and give us a BMF-sized Serenity and I'd be a happy,happy boy....

Well my first thought was a Hellblazer lineup complete with every different look he's had and most of his friends, enemies and of course throw in a box of slik cuts with every figure. gotta get these kids hooked somehow. also if no one said it, more planetary figures and League of extraordinary figures from each book. my favorite from that one: the invisible man = empty box.

I'm totally gay for whoever said Pyramid Head, but to be fair: http://figurerealm.com/viewcustomfigure.php?FID=13917

Now if it was Kubrik - Mmmmmm... The things mini red pyramid would do to my pencils... OH THE HUMANITY!!!

I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet:

ORGAZMO action figures. Given Trey and Matt's ventures into merchandizing with South Park, I can't believe a line of Orgazmo figures has not been made, especially in an era where action figure lines from cult-classic movies is all the rage

Imagine a company like McFarlane putting out the cast of Orgazmo as action figures? Seriously, the toyline actually writes itself!

I mean you can start off with:

Mormon Joe Young (complete with the Book of Mormon and Happy Tart)

Orgazmo (with light-up Orgazmarator)

Ben Chepleski/Choda-Boy (with removable dildo-head, furry handcuffs and a spring-loaded "cock-rocket")

Jizz Master Zero with removable pants and alternate "smashed pottery face" head for battle scenes.

Maxxx Orbinson with his nylon jumpsuit and voice chip that quotes immortal lines from the movie "And you don't even have to fuck!" "Sleeping with the fishes...see?"

Ass-Fuck Twins playset with American Flag bedspread.

G-Fresh Sushi Bar playset with battle damage sushi counters.

Underwater coral reef scene that comes with Lobstra and Choda Dog).

Garden of Eden Bedroom set with a "thud thud" sound effect button, along with a voice chip on the bed so when you place T-Rex onto a reluctant Orgazmo you hear her say "You're going to make me cum or I'm going to kick your butt!"

Ghost-Jesus in a similar way they did with ghost-Kenobie through the Corn Pops exclusive a few years back.

Sancho with a voice-button that repeats "I am Sahcho" every time you press it.

Orgazmobile (aka the Buick Century)

Orgazmo ebony/ivory double Stunt Cock set

"Real" Orgazmo also complete with Orgazmorator, tank top and movie sounds (old lady riding her walker optional)

Neutered Man with realistic farting action "merry christmas!"

I'd spend all sorts of hard earned money on even a fraction of these posibilities.

Although I also really like the suggestion for Law and Order. I'd especially like a Fred Thompson failed presidential bid action figure, or a Detective Munch with Token Jew Grip!

I'm going to have to throw in with the Firely camp.

ThatCostumeGirl is right. My GI Joes would have definitely wanted to get it on with Kaylee and not Barbie.

Except Shipwreck for some reason.

At the top of my action-figure wishlist (which is, I admit, rather short)is a set of I, CLAUDIUS / Sci-Fi crossover figures, in which each of the principal characters of the '70s BBC series does double duty as a character played by the same actor in a well-known SF series or movie. Examples would include:

Dual-action Augustus / Vultan figure, with optional speech module - pull the string and he alternates between bellowing "Quinctilius Varus, WHERE ARE MY EAGLES?" and "Hawk-Men, DIVE!"

Dual-action Livia / Reverend Mother Helen Mohiam - each with its own unique methods of poisoning your other action figures!

Triple-action Sejanus / Captain Jean-Luc Picard / Dr.
Xavier. Carries a death warrant in one hand and a cup of tea, Earl Grey, hot in the other. Comes with wheelchair
for X-MEN crossover action.

Livilla / Magenta action figure - can either sleep with your Sejanus (q.v.) figure or swan about your Frank N. Furter figure dressed as a maid.

Caligula / Cain figure. Accessories include face-hugger
alien figure and aborted fetus carved directly from
sister Drusilla's womb. Rosy-Fingered Dawn costume and play-set sold separately!

And Macro / Maximilian Arturo figure - comes with
centurion's uniform, three-piece suit, vortex timer, and extra helpings of smug. Also included: detachable limbs and dwarf axeman costume for transformation into Gimli from LORD OF THE RINGS.

I anticipate that this will inaugurate a whole series of action figures based on BBC historical dramas and light comedies. The exact details I leave as an exercise for your more inebriated readers.

Venture Brothers Monarch has already been made

I'd like to see a toyline for Death Race 2000 with vehicles
or a Battle Beyond the Stars line.

I support 100% the guys what suggested House and Christopher Walken figures.

Especially the arguments for House's cane.

Exclusives don't count in my opinion! If it was made, but not made widely available, it may as well have not been made at all!

The Gotcha Borgs from the Gamecube game "Gotcha Force." It's the best game you've never played.

A third-person shooter about robots that come to earth to duke it out sounds done to death, until you find out they're actually toy-sized (their battlegrounds are classrooms and kids' bedrooms). And with dozens of "tribes" in the game--knights, ninja, cowboys, dragons, angels, transforming vehicles, samurai, girls with high-tech weapons--an army of 1:1 scale diecast toy robots invading my desk has been a dream of mine for years.

Capcom may have released figurines of some of the Borgs when the game first hit, but I'd want to see fully articulated figures across the board.

Diamond Select actually made SOME Serenity figures, 1 Mal with sword and no coat, 1 Mal with coat and a bag o' loot, a reaver with axe-type weapon, and 2 slightly different Jayne figures, one with cigar and gun and one that appears to be minus a cigar but still has a gun. There are also Serenity and reaver versions of Serenity available from Dark Horse that are ornaments.

John Wilkes Booth action figure w/ .44 caliber Derringer

@Aaron: I think you're on to something, but maybe it should be an entire "Famous Assassinations" package; Booth and Lincoln, Oswald and Kennedy (Grassy Knoll optional), etc...

Exactly.

@fishman2020

Here's the sad thing about The Fearless Photog, it actually looked awesome. It probably would have been a hit because it was unique and could have been a really cool toy. But that's Mattel for you. The biggest asshole toy company in the world.

I swear if it wasn't for Barbie and Hotwheels which pretty much sell themselves, Mattel would be nothing. I mean slut girl dolls and little toy cars are pretty much the standard staple of every girl and boy in the world. We're not talking rocket science here where Mattel actually has to get off their fat asses and actually try to develop and market something interesting.

If you look at how they handle anything outside their flagship brands they can't do anything right.

I want my fucking Katara, Toph, Azula, and Uncle Iroh figures!!

i think our snarky, sarcastic society needs a set of 6 inch, or close to scale robots from mst3k, i would love to be able to sit on the couch in my home theater, watching my flatscreen with crow t. robot to my left, and tom servo to my right,

i would carry them into the living room, going through as many numbered doors as possible and we'd take our seat next to my now, or soon-to-be, ex-girlfriend, and i would be able to sit and watch the episodes of biggest loser, or america's next top model that i kindly recorded for her on my house's tivo, or the newest sisterhood of the traveling pants sequel dvd, and i would be able to make my comments and jokes about alexis bledel, tyra banks and obesity, and ignore the death looks and remarks about my lack of maturity, all because of my robot friends,

for fuck's sake!!! i saw "the women" in theaters, tom and crow, how i needed you then,

My Vote is for ZombieZeus and his Predator Toys in scale with GI Joes. I remember doing the EXACT same thing, mixing and matching my figs for a "close enough" cadre of Soldiers. (I think I used gung ho as Blain'

of course, the figures I really wanted were GI Joe scale ALIENS colonial marines. Kenner tried in the early 90s, and their G1 Hicks was okay, but wasn't that accurate, and he DIDN'T HAVE A PULSE RIFLE!!!

so last year hot toys put out a series of screen accurate, GI Joe scale figures, including a Hicks with pulse rifle and shotgun. At the time I was a full time student and barely had any money. to get the complete set would have cost almost 150 in the local coin. I had no way of justifing that sort of frivilous expense.

But I still bought em.

go me.

Some great ideas!
McFarlane did a pretty cool Snake Pliskin with removewble coat.
DC Direct did the 3 stars of Preacher, along with a Saint of Killers. And A Jesse Custer eyepatch variant.
I'd love to see an Herr Star with various degrees of damage, from regular to penile headed to gential mutilated to double amputee! Does that make me a serial killer?

What I really want is a modern version of the unproduced 80s G.I.Joe...Rocky Balboa! I had a joe comic featuring his image and file information as a kid, which must have broken my brain with it's pure world colliding insanity since I forgot it entirely until recently. They printed a retraction the following issue with no explanation and no toy, although prototypes have surfaced and apparantly Sly's likeness rights got wrapped up in G.I.Joe's bastard bootleg imitator Rambo cartoon.

A lot of collectors scrambling to complete that line.

He would have been a fighting trainer. His weapon of choice?
A stick with boxing gloves on the end. That's right, the ultimate enforcer for God's America with punch your face off without even touching you.
No guns needed, the Itallion Stallion will exploderate an entire army of HISS tanks with a well planned training montage.

Hilariously stupid, skull shatteringly awesome, a single tiny Russian AND Cobra stomping crossover of a toy that is an intense, raging boner of 1980's patriotism. Reagan would violently pop the hell out of the ground for the chance to wait in line to fellate this thing.

That is the toy I want. Rocky as a Joe, I mean. Not Ronnie the Blowjob Zombie. Pervs.

The Doctor Death Action Figure... with Atomic Elbow Action.

Also, in his Space Suit for Galactic Wrestling Missions.

Doctor Death Action Figure with Atomic Elbow Action!

Doctor Death Action Figure with Space Mission Space Suit.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/lefora-attachments/site/3/attachments/20090204/Doctor_Death_Space_suit.jpg

From Dusk Til Dawn figures, specifically a Seth Gekko with his hydrolic vampire-staking machine engine thing.

Badass.

Oh man, the Orgasmo toys are a great idea. I also like the Spanish Inquisition idea.

@Ohiopest, They already made Dinosaucer toys:

http://www.toyarchive.com/Dinosaucers/Dinosaucers.html

Dr. Mcninja. Lucy the Gorilla. Yoshi the Raptor.
Gordito the mustachioed, 12-year-old gunslinger.

And maybe Dr. Mcninja wearing the spacesuit while surfing in the air on robo-Dracula while flipping the bird.

Then again, the Italian Spiderman is fine too.

HR Puff n Stuff and Witchy Poo

Mayor Mccheese with all the points of articulation and moving parts of a mcfarlane masterpiece.

Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute from general mills

this doesn't count as an action figure I guess but I always wondered why they didn't make slime with other body parts besides eyes and ears.

also a life size realistic version of Cavity Sam from the game operation with removable body parts. He needs to shock you when you touch the sides also.

@Telezombie:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41nfEAF9uEL._SL500_AA280_.jpg

I have to go with Princess Leia as Jabba's slave. Let's face it, everyone had a huge boner for that outfit. I also would have loved to have that Uhla dancer and that girl with the six tits, but Leia was a main character, we had to have one of her. Nope. But we got guys like Yakface that nobody knew or cared about or bought, so they go for thousands of dollars these days. We could have had so much fun with that figure, but Kenner never made one. Maybe they didn't want calls from angry parents with kids having "fun" with their figures.

That was just in the original line of Star Wars figures. Years later, they came out with one, but I moved on to real girls by then.

I want anime figures. Sure, your answer must be, but there's already tons of anime figures out there. Yes, but I want them articulated, not some crappy gashapon plastic, and I aslo want the supporter character. No, I only want the supporter characters.
I don't care about Spike, I want Jet Black from Cowboy bebop, maybe together with Ein.
I don't care about the Elric brothers I want Scar from Fullmetal alchemist, possibly with interchangable hands.
I don't care about Motoko, I want Batou from Ghost in the shell with a ton of high-tech weapons.
I don't care about Naruto, I want Kakashi and Asuma in G.I. Joe size, fully articulated to go against Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.

The best toy they never made was Lawn Darts 2 (Jarts 2). Sure old lawn darts were fun, with the throwing, the scoring, and the massive cranial injuries, but Jarts 2. Would have taken it to a whole new level, a ballistic level. Jarts 2 would have had not just one air cannon, but two! In festive blue and red! This would have increased the weap... er toys effective range to 150 meters! Variations packages would have sold styrofoam shields to block the darts of opposing players. As a bonus, one dart out of every 1,000 produced would have razor sharp edges, EVERYWHERE! Try throwing that one kids. Yes, Jarts 2 fun for the whole family, or at least the kid that hates the rest of his family and neighbors and classmates and crazy cat lady and so forth.

LEGO Hospital was an idea I submitted back to LEGO when I was 13. Now I know there was a LEGO hospital, but the back in the day version lacked something like realism. Everyone was smiling, where were the burn victims, amputees, and nail gun accidents. That's why LEGO TRAUMA CENTER (TM) would have been the best toy evah. Dog eat one of your minifigs and barfed it out, just send them to the ER, that figure would fit in perfectly with minifig without an arm, minifig with nail in head, minifig with burns over 70% of its plastic body, minifig with VD (you can't see it, but look at his face, he's really embarassed about something), minifig with mental disorders (That one comes with a helmet.)

Screw my idea.

I want some fucking Dr. McNinja toys!!!

Something I've ALWAYS wanted, with the comics hitting I thought it may be a possibility and now with the movie seriously being hinted at there's an even better chance...

The Dark Tower.
Series 1:
Roland with a lobstrosity and removable fingers
Eddy with free drug paraphernalia
Susannah with wheelchair and plates
Jake with Oy
Randall Flag

Set: Blaine the Mono scene

Series 2:
Young Roland
Cuthbert
Alain
Susan Delgado
Big Coffin Hunters

Set: Susan burning

I'd kill for a larger selection with Sheemie, Mordred, Rhea, The Crimson King and so much more say Thankee!

Holy shit, that Dr. McNinja idea makes me realize that I would totally like to have a stuffed animal version of Roast Beef from Achewood. He would kick all kinds of ass, staring at the ceiling, not moving..empty, dismal expression on his face...JUST LIKE IN THE COMIC!

I know this is a late entry, but right off the bat, The GWAR action figure line that Shocker Toys somehow managed to lose the license on. 4+ yrs later, and they're either still up for pre-order, or all traces of them (save for the Beefcake prototype) have completely vanished from the site. But in keeping with the theme, how about some more music-themed action figures from the McFarlane line:

Scott Ian (Anthrax)
Dimebag Darrell (Pantera)
Max Cavalera (Sepultura/Nailbomb/Soulfly)
Al Jourgensen (Ministry)
Kerry King (Slayer)
Cliff FUCKING Burton (who on all accounts SHOULD have been in the Metallica line)
King Diamond (Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, just because it would be hilarious to own an action figure of him)

And while we're at it, why not a whole line of some of the non-Ramones/Sex Pistols Punk Rock heroes?

Lee Ving (Fear)
Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys)
Keith Morris (Black Flag/Circle Jerks)
Henry Rollins (Black Flag/State Of Alert)
Ian Mackaye (Minor Threat/Fugazi)
HR (Bad Brains)
Stiv Bators (The Dead Boys)
Darby Crash (The Germs)
Johnny Thunders (The New York Dolls/The Heartbreakers)
Glenn Danzig/Jerry Only/Doyle (The Misfits '78, even though we got the 12" Jerry and Doyle figures a few yrs back, these would display better in 6" form)

And if the Metal and Punk lines are a success, why not some more genres? Maybe a Goth Rock line:

Robert Smith (The Cure)
Captain Sensible (The Damned)
Nik Fiend (Alien Sex Fiend)
Peter Murphy (Bauhaus)
Rozz Williams (Christian Death)
Morrissey (The Smiths)
