Back to the Future, Star Trek, and Indiana Jones have notoriously always been underserved in toy aisles. Until recently.
With the release of the Indiana Jones Adventure Series, my wishes and prayers were answered. A 1/12 scale line covering all of the movies (except crystal skull which ew) including all the key characters and even some deep cuts. Never before did I think we’d get this many characters.
Now, when can we get this same treatment for other franchises? I’d love to get all the cast from all of the Back to the Future films. The playmobil stuff is alright, but I want fully fledged 1/12 figures. Anyone else agree?

Like clockwork, another thread each month praising the failed Indy line. The fact that it was likely so expensive and failed so spectacularly means I'm sure Hasbro will be even more reluctant to dive into a line like this, and that's if there was a new film. Without any new BTTF film, there's never going to be an extensive mass retail line like this. This was before the days of actor likeness rights baked into movie contracts for merch, so the likeness right for some of them could be a pain in the ass (and expensive) too

It's an anime import maybe STORM could do it or there could be kits.

I have good news for you, if you have 77000 yen going spare.

Something I think would be cool is if a good company took up an Image comics license. There are so many characters from the plethora of cool lines there that would make great action figures.

>>11493541
These look great
Still never seen it, but it was previewed on some anime videos I collected a bunch, and I totally dug the art style.

>Image comics license
That's not a thing. The entire point of Image comics is that each comic creator/writer/artist etc retains some or all rights to their characters. So licensing for a line like that would be a real headache. Besides, some of those characters already have licenses taken up by other company for figures that probably covers 6" scale.

I passed on the 1000toys figures because the face plates were ugly as fuck and the jackets looked goofy and oversized. People have also said that the pleather on Dante's jackets tends to flake off over time

I'd probably buy a WildC.A.T. or two, and those are probably possible with DC owning the Wildstorm catalog. This >>11493772 Anon is right about the other stuff.

Thank you for the image. I always appreciate these threads more when that much effort is put in.
For me, it's Akira. No, the Todd shit might have been good for it's time, but I mean some actual poseable figures from Figma, SHF or Revoltech. At least just Kaneda, Tetsuo, Kei and the Colonel based on the movie would suffice.
>>11493297
I saw the thread title and then saw Belloq with the Ark in the thumbnail and I knew what this was straight away.

I don't think this one is Subby. Subby doesn't have the ability to Photoshop Frenchie's head into a photo due to his technological illiteracy.

Fuck off Retrospammer

I feel like Walking Dead didn’t get enough Minimates and action figures during the show and comics’ peak. Money left on the table. However given the gore and violence in the series I can’t be too surprised.

>>11495032
McFarlane made a lot of toys are you obtuse?

Not sure why Bandai didn't do an SHF Kaneda to go with the Soul of Popynica bike.

I don't own any Jada figures, but every one I've seen a review of has good ol' Darryl Dixon beat just by virtue of having joints that actually work and allow posing.

>>11493772
I know that I just couldn't be bothered to list specific comics and whatever, so I was just generalising. Fine, I hope somebody reaches out and contacts each individual author of like 50 different serials and makes figures for some them at least.

>>11493256 (OP)
can you please specific what kind of toys? like 1/12 scale action figures?

I'd really like a Shadow of the Colossus line, with each of the collossai sculpted with good detail (maybe not monster arts tier, but something on the higher end). Maybe they could have Wanderer in a static climbing pose, with dedicated peg holes on the collossa for him to tab into. Ah well, a dude can dream...

>>11495117
What scale?

I would kill for a Shōnan jun'ai gumi (Young gto) action figure line with the motorcycles, that would be even better.

WTF, this face indeed is awful, look at those scurvy teeth. Dante the meth head. It was a good choice anon, to stay away from this fig.
Pleather always peal, no matter how hard you are trying to preserve it. Why those companies aren't using those rubber materials used for raincoats, it's thinner and looks almost the same if used correctly.

I personally would love high quality line of Half Life franchise, done by InArt or something close.

So?

ReBoot. I want better ReBoot figures.

Final Fantasy besides FF7. Is it too much to ask for a new Lulu or Edea, or even first-time figures like Ultimecia?

>>11493297
Gen-X never bonded with Indy toys because there were no good playsets for kids to play out adventures with. It didn't help that by 1984 GI Joe had all sorts of cartoon adventures including Cobra seeking lost treasures, looting museums, and such.

Kids today don't bond with Indy because they just don't give a shit about toys. They want electronic cocaine in the form of phones and gaming consoles.

>>11496364
>They want electronic cocaine in the form of phones and gaming consoles.
I just realized that I haven't seen a single zoomer collector, all of them are millenials or some young boomers.

>>11496371
An entire generation is being raised to be socially conditioned into NOT owning property. They're raised on streaming media and games they're indoctrinated at young ages into accepting that they don't own. Imagine a child being raised into seeing that property is not something tangible that you can hold in your hands and own, but instead as something intangible that they can never touch.

Seems like social conditioning to me......

>>11496381
Maybe there is something in this, kids raised with electronics don't care about physical merch, is this the reason why "gamers don't buy toys"?.

>>11496381
Surely this is exaggerating somewhat. Kids still own physical items. Books, clothes, even collectibles like Pokemon cards or Lego. I mean, sure, branded Lego, but that's another topic. Many still value owning things like bikes or phones even if streaming is the way they're used to consuming media. As long as kids still get an allowance, they'll value buying something and taking care of it. Streaming doesn't erase the idea of ownership, it just shifts how content is accessed. Kids understand the difference between borrowing a library book and owning one. Streaming is a digital equivalent. A Minecraft world someone spent months building feels "owned" even if it's hosted online. Digital ownership is still ownership. Streaming and subscriptions are responses to affordability and convenience, they're not tools of indoctrination. How is it any different to cable tv and pay per view really?

And just anecdotally, I know a lot of gen Z that have delayed home or car ownership or whatever due to debt, wages or housing prices, not because they’ve been “conditioned” not to want them. The idea that kids are being raised not to understand or value ownership just because digital access exists is an extremely simplified take on it. Ownership is evolving not disappearing. You're just scared of that and projecting. You're the angry old man waving at the cloud.

>>11496381
>Seems like social conditioning to me......
As long as there's instagram and social media and whatever, kids are gonna want to own stuff.

>>11493633
I think a valiant line could be good. I could rattle off old comic books id enjoy having a figure for

>>11496364
Im praying for a lulu in the mtg set. Which over all is kinda disappointing, but i have pulled a terra and a fire crystal so thats kinda neat. Now that the hype died off i can actually find packs

>>11496419
Are you a zoomer or from the tail end of generation Y??
Because you ahve no sense of ownership considering you've just equated rentingshit with ownership.

You've been conditioned hardcore to think owning a physical thing is the same thing as a digital file that can only be accessed through a subscription or account that requires permission from an online service to allow you to use it. If you actually owned something, you don't need to ask anyone to use it. Sure, a digital file usually grants you immediate access, but you're still asking to use it.

And you are right that kids buy all sorts of physical shit still, but they're completely warped and ignorant about ownership, due to how companies have fucked up how you can buy things now. Even when PC games started requiring you to input activation codes, you weren't required to create an account and it was a 1 time thing. Today, it's constantly rechecking and updating itself like a super strict parole officer. If you break the constantly changing conditions it's imposing on you, you're no longer allowed to use it and your entire account is in jeopardy too.

Ownership that is evolving means it's no longer ownership.
You're just pasting the word "ownership" over the terms "lease" or "compliance" in the dictionary.

Seriously, Gen Z is so warped, that they don't understand that old shit can still be bought on places like eBay. Instead, they cry that OldShit#908 is unattainable and companies need to re-release it, despite being plentiful in new and used conditions on the secondary market. whenever i show my nephews a listing for something they want on eBay, they look at me like i told them jump into a volcano.
They're in their 20s now and have bank accounts, btw, and since they're zoomers, buying shit online is more natural to them than buying shit in a phyiscal store, yet........

>>11493297
>This was before the days of actor likeness rights baked into movie contracts for merch, so the likeness right for some of them could be a pain in the ass (and expensive) too

I think this is the main problem with BTTF toys. Stylized stuff like Funkos, Playmobil or the Super 7 figures from a few years back seem to slip through but for everything else they only ever seem to make Doc, Marty and sometimes Biff. Guessing it'd be a nightmare to get the rights to Crispin Glover's image for example.

>>11495053
Why would anyone make this?

Small Soldiers, Short Circuit, Hanna Barbera.

A trading card is not a figure, and the ONLY Lulu they've done (by Kotobukiya) now fetches north of $400 for something that had a bad facial sculpt.

Urotsuki Doji. No, I´m not joking.
