I caught
this article at Mania.com and agreed with a few of their choices. So I gots to-a-thinkin', 'What other movies need action figures?' Here are the ones on Mania's list that I agree with:
- Death Race 2000
- Zardoz
- Time Bandits
Equalibrium 
Your special con variant could be Jon Preston in the white suit with a gun in one hand and katana in the other.
agree with Deathrace and Time Bandits, but no Kamphausen Connery, thanks.
From Dusk Till Dawn
They Live
Highlander
Buckaroo Banzai
I know there's other stuff I'm forgetting.
Equilibrium
Big Trouble in Little China
Red Dawn
Equalibrium Your special con variant could be Jon Preston in the white suit with a gun in one hand and katana in the other.
Beat me to it while I was looking for pics!
Near Dark 
Your variant could be Bill Paxton all fucked up as he was at the end of the movie.
Highlander
Buckaroo Banzai
Fuck yes on some Big Trouble in Little China! Buckaroo would be cool as fuck, too.
Deathrace
Time Bandits
From Dusk Till Dawn
They Live
Highlander
Buckaroo Banzai
Big Trouble in Little China
Near Dark
so that's my list so far.
Beetlejuice 
Too many variants to fucking count.
they did have a number of Beetlejuice figures that were based on the movie, including Beetlejuice in his wedding tux, and Alec Baldwin's character. also, I think there's a new fig of BJ available now.
but a new, fuller series would be cool.
Don't remember those. I remember the ones from the cartoon, but not the movie.
Plan 9 From Outer Space 
I think, I'm not entirely sure about this, but they might have even made an Otho(?) fig.
Smokey and the Bandit 
I know that there were the toy cars and trucks when the movie came out, but I think a modern sculpt of Gleason as Buford T. Justice would be fucking awesome.

the new cult classic BJ fig. the variant comes in his wedding tux.

how about Cannonball Run then?
When you mentioned it, I found out that they debuted the figures at last year's Toy Fare.
how about Cannonball Run then?
Heh. I was actually thinking about that but didn't know if a Jaime Farr toy would sell that well.
I would like a M*A*S*H Swamp Set, with a set of figures from the movie AND the first season of the tv show...
I didn't RTFA.
I have to say the Predator films need a good line of action figures.
Time After Time 
It was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I'd love to have a Malcolm McDowell as HG Wells with his time machine fig.
Awesome! The man who killed Captain Kirk!
SuperPro: The Movie 
The action set comes with SuperPro, a couch, TV, and Playstation.
Did Zombieland get action figures? The hole in chest Bill Murray variant could be cool.
SuperPro: The Movie The action set comes with SuperPro, a couch, TV, Playstation and BONG!
Is the Variant sober?
No. It comes with Wesley Pipes.
No. It comes with Wesley Pipes.
Sweet.
Spies Like Us
Top Gun
Starman
Can't say any of these would appeal to me except maybe a Vampira figure from Plan 9. Although a Highlander figure would be a must buy for one of my brothers.
Now if they did some from the Lexx movies that would be a different story...
Raising Arizona 
Balloonknot guesses your password?
No, she's trying to be shocking...
i know. who could stand a Rosebud figure?
as for myself, i think it would be fun to play "destroy the toy" with a load of Nazis.
The Japs would be more fun, wouldn't they?

Are they going to put all the Jewish toys in an E-Z-Bake oven?
nah, I'd put them in the shower, myself.
Seriously, who the fuck came up with the idea to make kids' toys for MASH? Were the kids supposed to ad lib cynical quips about how deadly war is and mix it in with heart wrenching drama? Did Hawkeye come with a chicken that turned into a Korean baby?
LMFAO!!!
And shit, why make it the soap opera era? Why not the cool guys like Trapper and Henry, drinking martinis and chasing nurses? THAT'S what I want to play with!
Notice that there are two versions of Klinger.
From what I've read, this shit was done around 82 or so which is why it's Winchester and not Frank and missing Radar. The Klinger in drag makes no sense, though, as he gave up the Section 8 schtick after Radar left.
.....I am impressed with your knowledge of M*A*S*H, Doc. Genuinely. Props.
And yeah, that Klinger in a dress would have been a San Diego Comi-Con Exclusive Variant these days.
Imagine how pissed Radar must have been when he left the show right before they optioned merchandising rights of the actors likenesses. He missed a nice recurring paycheck.
Do those guys get royalties on syndication and reruns?
Police Academy
Mystery Men
Revenge Of The Nerds
Snatch
Blazing Saddles
The Great Escape
The Magnificent Seven
Debbie Does Dallas
That movie was gay as hell...
A room filled with naked chicks is 'gay as hell' to Pro. Got it.
I had the Hawkeye figure as a kid. no idea what happened to it, though.
Grimm, you go BACK in time and TAKE that fucking figure from your younger self, thereby causing a self-fulfilling paradox, and rendering your memory of what happened to it incomplete! And I mean now, mister!
why do I have nightmares of being accosted as a child by an angry bald man in a tardis???
I never touched you below the naval.
Just worked the breasts a little.......
define "below."
. . .and "navel."
. . .and "worked the breasts."
