Movie Maniacs
This is as line of action figures that has seen 7 years of really good, and really bad. Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers have all had their day. Recently, we have gotten down to Colonial Marine Hicks (Michael Biehn) from Aliens. I purchased him over the weekend, cuz he was on clearance, and I love the film. But, it seems there is a lot of scraping the bottom of the barrel, when so many other great figures are waiting to be made. Of course I understand that there are licensing issues, etc, but find some new stuff. Here are several figures that should be considered:
Jack Nicholson of The Shining
Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie of Carrie
Cujo
Elvira
Christine
Muffy (Deborah Foreman) from April Fool's Day
Hannibal Lecter
Annie Wilkes of Misery
Damien from The Omen
The Vampire from the original 'Salem's Lot
Creatures/characters from the Poltergeist series; namely Kane, the preacher
Pennywise from IT
Additional characters from the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre...or even from part 2!
Jerry Dandridge from Fright Night
Ming (other characters as well) from the cheesy Flash Gordon
How about some characters from Rosemary's Baby?
Zombies? Bub from Day of the Dead
Clash of the Titans
The Grudge
The People Under the Stairs
Signs
Near Dark
Mimic
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
The Blob (1988)
Regan from The Exorcist
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?
Prince of Darkness
The Fog
Okay, so there are some up there that would never sell, cuz some people don't know them very well. But The Shining? Carrie? The Exorcist? Work on getting those licenses. You need to start out w/ some fresh product. Cuz what you have sent out recently just doesn't cut it.
