Future Licenses


Recommended Posts

Ok, I used to do this every once in a while on the old board, so I figured we should get one started again. It's basically just for fun. This is how it works, state a license (or two) that you'd like to see AA pick up. Than, make the 1st wave of figures. Ala, I believe in leading by example so here are a few to start:

Power Rangers

(Mystic Force)

Series 1

-Red Ranger & Green Ranger

-Blue Ranger & Solaris Ranger

-Pink ranger & Yellow Ranger

-White Ranger & Knight Wolf

TMNT

Series 1

-Leonardo vs. Shredder

-Raphael vs. Casey Jones

-Donatello vs. Yusagi

-Michelangelo & April O'Neil

Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

-Jack Sparrow & Skeleton Pirate

-Will Turner & Human Pirate

-Captain Barbosa & Elizabeth Swan

-Skeleton Jack & Skeleton Barbosa

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

-Jack Sparrow & Davy Jones

-Will Turner & Norrington

-Elizabeth Swan (Pirate) & Hammerhead

-Tribal Jack & Canibal Warrior

Movie Classics

(Single Packs)

Series 1

-Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones)

-Jason (Friday the 13th)

-Willy Wonka (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)

-Ace Ventura (Ace Ventura: Pet Detective)

-Rocky (Rocky)

-The Terminator (The Terminator)

Series 2

-Ripley (Alien)

-Agent J (Men in Black)

-The Mask (The Mask)

-Marty McFly (Back to the Future)

-Freddy (Nightmare of Elm Street)

-William Wallace (Braveheart)

Ok, if that doesn't get your gears turning, I don't know what will. So, what kind of licenses would you like to see. It can be as practical as they come or as far out there as you can get. Let's hear'em. neo

Blue (Billy) and Black (Zach)

Pink (Kimberly) and Yellow (Trini)

Red (Jason) and Green (Tommy)

Red (Jason) and White (Tommy) *Variant

Zelda and Shiek

Samus and Ridley

The one line that I'd totally go crazy for, would be for some 2 inch minimates based on the game Metal Gear Solid. The price of these would be a bit more expensive than other Minimate lines (only 2 or 3 bucks more) , but the this would be because they'd be loaded with extra and character specific accessories (for example every Solid Snake Figure would include a Minimate-sized Cardboard box, Ocelot, Raven, and Wolf get their respectable weapons, several swapable body parts for charcters). A couple of waves of this and you could do waves based on the other games in the Metal Gear series.

Metal Gear Solid Series 1

Solid Snake and Liquid Snake

Meryl Silverburg and Psycho Mantis

Ninja/Gray Fox and Revolver Ocelot

Otacon and Sniper Wolf

Series 2

NBC Genome Solider and Arctic Warfare Genome

Light Attack Genome and Heavy Attack Genome

Vulcan Raven and the DARPA Chief/ Decoy Octopus

Final Battle Solid Snake and Final Battle Liquid Snake

Convention/Internet Exclusives

Stealth Solid Snake and Steath Ninja/Grayfox

Captured Solid Snake and Torture Chamber Revolver Ocelot

Sorry if I went a little overboard with this post, but it's been an idea I've been kicking around in my head for a couple years.

Hey, you guys have done pretty good. I love the video games references.

Here is another idea that I'd DIE for. Professional Sports Minimates!

*I'm sorry for any spelling errors, but I'm not looking up everyone of these guys :)*

MLB

Series 1

-Alex Rodriguez (Yankees)

-Johann Santanna* (Twins)

-Michael Young (Rangers)

-Andrew Jones (Braves)

-Roger Clemens (Astros)

-Albert Pulous* (Cardinals)

NFL

Series 1

-Peyton Manning (Colts)

-Chad Johnson (Bengels)

-Champ Bailey (Bronchos)

-Terrel Owens (Cowboys)

-Shaun Alexander (Seahawks)

-Steve Smith (Panthers)

NBA

Series 1

-Dewayne Wade (Heat)

-Steve Nash (Suns)

-Dirk Nowiski (Mavericks)

-Labron James* (Cavilers)

-Kobe Bryant (Lakers)

-Shaq (Heat)

Those are really the only sports that I follow, but it could continue to NHL, Soccer, Golf, etc. Each sport would come with special accessores. MLB would come with a bat, ball, glove-hand. NFL would come with a football, removable helmet, hair piece. NBA would come with a b-ball, uh and a gatorade bottle? You know, whatever. neo

A McFarlane Sports-style line would be a complete turnoff for me. I don't know enough about American Sports to care. I would pick up a Miami Dolphins set though :)

I'm gonna bang my City of Heroes/Villains drum again!

Heroes:

Statesman/Ms Liberty

Sister Psyche/Manticore

Synapse/Positron

Foreshadow/Mirror Spirit

Villains:

Lord Recluse/Captain Mako

Ghost Widow/Black Scorpion

I think these would look great - they are superheroes and villains after all, and would work well with the already established characters from Marvel/DC

Off the top of my head... I think at the following lines sum up the best any action figure line can offer and are prime candidates for the minimate treatment. Each series contains well-harnessed and/or unique ideas along with entertaining, fun, and colorful characters.

GODLAND

Masters of the Universe

Hellboy

Madman (with the Snap City/Atomics Universe)

Invincible

Star Wars

Sure, Speed Racer and Street Fighter 2 are okay... and if you're a big fan of Rocky or Battlestar Gallactica you'll go ape over those lines. But the five lines I've listed come from series with great plots and great characters to pull new readers in. Even if you had no previous knowledge of any of these lines, the wonderful and interesting characters would be worth it to any minimate fans who like to disassemble and reassemble new characters just based on all the new costume and accessory ideas.

I'd love to see 2 inch minimates of:

James Bond , Final Fantasy (VII in particular) , Pirtates Of The Carribean , Star Trek , Star Wars & Indiana Jones. I quite like Logan's Idea of Classic WWE Superstars too.

My wife would love to see some Harry Potter , The Crow or anything starring Johnny Depp minimates

My dream minimates would be from the Bio Boosted Armor GUYVER animation/books. This is a great series from Japan. Anyone else know about this series, it rules!

Series 1

Guyver 1 / Gregole

Guyver 2 / Ramotith

Guyver 3 / Vamore

Variant: Battle damaged Guyver 1 / Gregole

Series 2

Gaster / Elegen

Derzerb / Thancruz

Zxtole / Gyout

Variant: Zxtole / Gyout in human form.

The fodder from this set would be a customers dream!

GO GUYVER! :lol:

I'd love to see Thundercats and Guyver mates. I wish there was a third Guyver movie. The first two were a blast to watch and I loved the anime.

There's now a 2006 new 26 episodes that were released in Japanese TV, they are good, but the violence and gore is tuned way down. The animation is weaker too, but it's done like a DBZ or Inuyasha TV fashion.

I'm pulling for... JAMES BOND!!!!!

Don't get me started on my plans for 121 James Bond minimates. Yes, 121. I want to make custom art for them all one day! A Bond line (even at 5 of them or so) would still be fantastic! (although if they did make 121 of them, I'd buy them all!)
