    an idea -- Greatest Universal TV Detectives and Investigators

    We talked about this YEARS ago ... but I don't think since EMCE came into being.

    A line of TV Cops and Investigators that were all made by Universal Studios ...
    I picked Universal for 2 reasons ....
    1. Universal has cool cops
    2. It would be only 1 company to deal with making figures ....

    Note, I use the term cop and investigators very loosely.

    Here's my ultimate line

    Wave-1
    Columbo
    Joe Friday
    Bill Gannon
    Magnum PI

    Wave-2
    Lennie Briscoe
    McCloud
    Banacek
    Michael Knight

    Wave-3
    Kojack
    Stewart McMillan
    Sally McMillan
    Adrian Monk

    Wave-4
    Det. Robert "Bobby" Goren
    Kolchak
    ?
    ?

    What do you think ?

        I can't tell you how upset my nephew was last Christmas after he got a PS3 instead of a Lenny Briscoe figure..

              But seriously folks .... How many kids nowadays would want a Captain Kirk, Dr Zaius or Green Arrow Mego ?

              Kids today wouldn't want ANYTHING we like.

                  My kid does (well except for Zaius, but I'm not an Apes fan either). His schoolmates seemed into Star Trek this summer, and most know who Green Arrow is now thanks to the Brave and The Bold.

                    The point is for anything older and not regularly played on TV most kids like what their parents like ... It's just natural

                      I'd buy a Jim Rockford figure. There, I said it.

                        i'd buy a magnum figure for sure! too bad tho, figures like these would be picked up by exclusive premier type companies.

                          But seriously folks ... How many adults nowadays would want McMillan and Wife Action Figures? Are they marketing to seniors with demetia?

                          Adults today wouldn't want ANYTHING my mom likes. (although we've both admitted to secretly liking Married with Children, but I didn't run out and get her CTVT figures!)

                          How about Jay Leno action figures?

                              To get the most use of the Darren McGavin sculpt, add Mike Hammer to the line.
