bzorio Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I'm still betting on Game of Thrones but... the major franchises mentioned so far until pag. 5 are: DC Comics (unfortunately not) Friday the 13th A Nightmare on Elm Street Predator (complements Aliens) Nightmare Before Christmas Resident Evil (complements Marvel Vs Capcom 3) Silent Hill (complements Resident Evil???) Doctor Who (Zach confirmed) Disney (complements Peter Pan) Big Hero 6 Army of Darkness (complements Marvel Zombies) Hellboy (Zach confirmed) Harry Potter Casper Planet of the Apes Metal Gear Buffy the vampire slayer Mortal Kombat (complements DC Comics) Plus this \/ So far, all but one of these guesses has been incorrect. So, I believe we'll get one of these: Big Hero 6 Harry Potter Casper Metal Gear Edited June 24, 2014 by bzorio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDestro Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Mass-friendly line as in FRIENDLY to all. A hint that says its prpbably kid friendly more then crazy collector style of figures. The hype is so large now that most will be unhappy about it but still buy them in the end. I wasnt down for the Peter Pan mates but in the end I got all of them. But it will still come out of left field like Plants vs Zombies. Didnt expect that line to surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Harry Potter is something I can imagine. But they had Kubricks that didn't set the world on fire, so I'm not so sure they would be great sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Shakespeare Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I thought Zach already said no to Harry Potter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) If it really is a pretty big license they had been working on for awhile, I would also scratch Big Hero 6, Casper, POTA, and Buffy off the list. Assuming bizorio has compiled all eligible properties and removed those excluded from consideration, horror or Disney (one or multiple properties of each) would make most sense to me. And because of the Halloween theme, I would go with Horror. Maybe New Line horror, which has done Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Texas Chainsaw films, as well as Evil Dead (edit: checking Wikipedia, apparently they can do Dawn of the Dead, as well).

darthdoughboy Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 So Maleficent to come out at the same time as the DVD release? Or Mickey as the sorceror's apprentice? Or maybe Goofy as a zombie (I know that will never happen, but it's worth a shot). I saw Predators last night on cable and it reminded me how great minimates of them would have been and then I got a little sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 How does Disney not complement Peter Pan Minimates? And Zach said he likes the unnamed property as much as Hellboy, if that's any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Good point. At a certain point, it's hard to think of a license that doesn't complement something that's already out there in some way (e.g., we've had zombies and Universal Monsters, so newer horror characters would complement those in a fashion), but because of Peter Pan I would say anything Disney is probably unlikely.

hellpop Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I think you're taking that "compliment" thing a little too literally. The only things that would directly compliment Peter Pan are Tinkerbell or Jake and the Neverland Pirates (which reminds me, I have to show the Jake customs I threw together for my daughter). Disney animated movies are all pretty separate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disney animated movies are all pretty separate.Well Zach's example of why Hellboy was too "complimentary" was that it was a comic, and a comic movie, and had monsters in it. That's a pretty loose interpretation to my eyes. I hope none of these are off the table, despite an obvious one-time association with Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters: Edited June 24, 2014 by karamazov80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzorio Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I thought Zach already said no to Harry Potter. Not in this thread at least. If it really is a pretty big license they had been working on for awhile, I would also scratch Big Hero 6, Casper, POTA, and Buffy off the list. Assuming bizorio has compiled all eligible properties and removed those excluded from consideration, horror or Disney (one or multiple properties of each) would make most sense to me.

Maybe New Line horror, which has done Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, and Texas Chainsaw films, as well as Evil Dead (edit: checking Wikipedia, apparently they can do Dawn of the Dead, as well). I have compiled all the suggestions until pag. 5, when Zach mentioned that. Later we had those hints: - Sorry, but given that we were launching with a figure for ComicFest, I assumed it was a given the line would be sold in comic shops. But then, I have to ask, why would a Disney-based line not be in Previews? Or are you saying a Disney Store-exclusive line wouldn't be in Previews? The latter is correct. - I love what it IS just as much (as Hellboy), though, and it has far broader appeal and potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undeadpool Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Game of Thrones is not kid friendly but it does have huge mass appeal currently, though something disney would make more sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSTZach Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Rocco guessed it! It's Jersey Shore. Snookie Through the Ages. GTL (Gym Tan Laundry) Shirtless Box Set. New "Situation" chest block with sculpted abs. You know, for kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Well, that certainly doesn't compliment anything else. Except Aliens, maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
