New Toys (not related to Evilshop)

I've decided not to believe a goddamn word from McFarlane toys until the package is in my hand. This list is brimming with ass. There is no Blair Witch. An evil Ash figure, while every fanboy's dream (and mine) is damn unlikely, and for the love of Christ, do we really need Terminator figures in any line, not just HORROR toys? Like I said over in the music forum, McFarlane is losing it. We dont need Metallica figures (which are supposedly being unvieled on the 11th), we dont need a Jim Morrison figure. WE DONT NEED A FUCKING JERRY GARCIA FIGURE.

Angus Young, well, I kinda want that one myself, but fuck it, that's just me.

I'm steadily losing faith in this little francise of Todd's ....

Jaws and the Termies were unnecessary.

Termies have been done and no one cared. Woulda' been smarter to make an excellent likeness of Der Strudel as a blood spattered CONAN (featuring a perfect little replica sword and the head of Jim Earl Jones).

The Jaws will suck because it won't be remotely close to scale and will just be a shark.

If it were to use some interesting construction to allow for some kind of non-jointed movement (like a jointed plastic understructure with a rubber body), that would be cool-but we all know that Toddy Todd Toys don't move...

Evil Ash...good to see that Toddy Todd listened to me for once...

Jason X-that'll work.

Blair Witch-well, dumbshit Toddy hopped on the trendy wagon and bought this license when there were still signs of life in it, so he has to bite the bullet and produce.

Cenobites and Midian-dwellers would be nice...


Things shitty Todd should do before I start a toy company and bury him:

Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh from Crouching Tiger...

Roddy Piper as John Nada from They Live...

Chris Bale as me from American Psycho..

Rupert Everett as Francesco Dellamorte...

A Reservoir Dogs box set.

Stallone from COBRA.

Well, lemme say this. I agree with you guys that those figures are ASS, we're just not in agreement as to which ones.

I personally want a Arnold Terminator figure that looks like Arnold. Not some generic Kenner piece of shit which for the record only made one good figure in that line and that was the endoskeleton. And as long as the T-1000 is made to look like Patrick, I'll buy that too.

It's the rest of the list that looks f**ked up to me. Yes, I can see Todd making an Evil Ash figure cause Ash is the most successful figure in the line's history. But is it really necessary this soon when so many other and quite frankly cooler character remain untapped. Sorry, but the idea of having an Evil Treat Williams figure isn't that appealing to me right now.

Nor are Jason X or Candyman. Jason X will be a sweet movie, that much I've convinced myself. But his new look as seen in the poster art is pants. I don't want a figure of that when the best Jason imaginable is already collecting dust on my shelf.

As for Candyman, those movies suck and as a character he's third rate at best. I rank him up there with the Blair Witch and to think both get figures before Reggie or The Tall Man from Phantasm, Jeff Combs from Re-Animator, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee from their Hammer days, Mindy Clarke from Living Dead 3, and Donald Pleasance from Halloween just to name a few makes me sick.

As for action movie figures, you guys better go check out N2 Toys' new website and see their pics of the new Rambo and Steven Seagal figs from the new Hardened line.

There was a control art mock up surfing the web late last year that look like they plan on putting Pumpkinhead in a dress, slappin' a wig on his ass, and calling him The Blair Witch.

Say what you will, but at least Hasbro fucks us Star Wars collectors over with fairly decent resculpts...

N2 sculps are sad ass, though.

Remember yesterday's MATRIX figures, Johnny?

N2.

I don't know, Seagal didn't look too bad.

And I always wanted a William Petersen figure. Now thanks to their Mad Max line I do.

You're right about The Matrix though...

Update straight from the semi-offical Movie Maniacs website.

The list is indeed real. Those are the figures for series 4.

Also, the new 18 inchers will be Leatherface and Treat Williams once again.

And the Jaws set will include a figure of Quint. No word yet on if he's half the man he was or not.

And I just read N2 Toys is doing a full scale V-8 Interceptor...

I wish McFarlane would do a series of figures based on the characters from the upcoming House of 1000 Corpses.

Blair Witch eh? Now I won't be surprised to see a figure of 'The Fog' and 'The Blob'.

Blair Witch.

Gimme a break, mabye it is that chick all close up with snot coming out of her nose.

The characters i would like to see:

Hellraiser
Zombies and lots of em.
Predator
The exoskeleton from T-2 18 inches tall and moveable.
Decapitated Leonadro Decraprio
CHUD sewer men. (hehe little plug there)
Event Horizon stuff (well maybe not that)
Phantasom
Gremlins

You want a little? Huh? You want any?

Welcome

You couldn't handle a Django figure with it's turbo-fist action...

Hmmm, so McFarlane has opted NOT to create figures of the cenobites, the Midian folk, Nix, hell, even Rawhead Rex. Instead he goes all original. With the help of Clive Barker. I dont know about you people, but it sounds a little fishy to me. Barker's great, and I thought his "Hyperkind" comic was good, but something about this just sounds a little off. Matbe I'm just pissed because I REALLY wanted a Chatterer figure. And did I read that right Johnny? 1,000-2,000 pages with every figure?! So has Clive written a 10,000 page book? I dont get it.

A 10,000 page book from Clive Barker would make me so happy though. Although I always love anything he writes, sometimes not as much as others but he's Clive and I am powerless against him.
