New License Speculation - Halloween ComicFest 2014


Recommended Posts

I'd personally love either The Nightmare Before Christmas,or Planet of the Apes. I'm in the same boat as MisterPL, I loved mixing my apes megos with all the DC and Marvel ones I had, as well as the Star Trek ones. The question for me, would the apes be from the new movies, or classic (which i'd prefer) or both?

Well you can probably scratch off confirmed future/existing licenses (Aliens, TMNT, Godzilla) and properties that aren't Halloween ComicFest appealing.

My top 3 guesses are Planet of the Apes, Predator and Hellboy. Apes is the only one of those three that has a "Strike now while the retail iron is hot" vibe to it.

I think I've figured what the property is, and it makes sense because it concerns a license that DST already has to a certain extent.The only license that makes real sense for a halloween release and hasnt yet been mentioned here yet is .... (drum roll).....

Monster Squad!!

It has the Universal Monsters and a cast of precocious young kids that carry guns and crossbows. Think about it, a Wolfman with a kicked in the nards face tampo!It practically sells itself.

If it were Hellboy, I would flip out, but for some reason, I don't think it's Hellboy.

I, too, would flip. I would love to see some BPRD army builders , plus the core cast of BPRD characters and Hellboy. Throw in some Lobster Johnson and Witch Hunter and you have a great line up.

If I had to put money down on it I'd guess Predator.. realize in the same post other licenses were denied but Predator was not.

Do think there's a chance for Apes though. Don't care for new Planet of the Apes but would LOVE mates of the original movie. Those, along with Flash Gordon may be the only mates I'd collect not Marvel or DC related. Believe Chuck has shot down Flash Gordon in the past, though.

I loved that movie as a kid! I'ld buy those, although I don't see much longevity in the line....

I would be super pumped for either Predator or Mortal Kombat.

I know this has nothing to do with Halloween but I would LOVE some Dumb and Dumber Minimates. Can you imagine the Mutts Cutts van in Minimate form?! Let's get on this and have them ready by the time the sequel comes out please!

I hope it is Predator. Hopefully they have the license to do minimates based on the Dark Horse comics plus from the Alien vs. Predator movies, and the obvious Predator, Predator 2, and Predators movies.

Finally watched Predators today actually and I really do want the final enemy Predator in it.

While I favor towards Predator mates, has anyone thought Mad Max? Already a few movies out and a new one on the way could make for some interesting figures. Not sure how much interest people here would have but just throwing it out there.

I wouldn't be that keen on a Mad Max line.... unless maybe we got Tina Turna from Beyond Thunderdome. However, i would be interested in vehicles from a Mad Max series :D
