      I'm more of an American Werewolf in London sort of chap myself and I'd definitely buy those figures.

      A bit of trivia for those that may be interested. I only live around 30 mins away from where the exterior scenes were filmed for the Slaughtered Lamb. That place looks massive on film, but in reality I can tell you that it's absolutely tiny.

        ^ That's neat !!!

        Was the filming location really out in the middle of nowhere or was that just clever cinematography ?

              My question is, when will we get a figure of Jenny Agutter in the sexy nurse outfit?

                Pretty much in the middle of nowhere. I can't understand for the life of me why they'd travel to such a random spot in Wales only to travel all the way back to London to film the interior for the Slaughtered Lamb. The funny part is that it's meant to be Yorkshire, which is northern England.
                The exterior for the Slaughtered Lamb is actually someone's house. That statue in the middle of the (shall we call it) village isn't actually there. That prop also must have been small considering how small Crickadarn is. Honestly, that place is tiny, tiny, tiny. The church grave/yard is also very small. It still looks now though pretty much like it does in the film minus the props.

                  Ah, we'd need a SSC Premium Format Figure to do THAT justice, Sammy!!

                      I like the cut of your jib sir!

                      in searching to see if she has ever made it to action figure format, it appears Jenny Agutter has 3-D printed figures of herself.

                      As 3-D printing technology becomes more widely available, it's being used to create just about anything you can think of, including toys, food, fake fingernails, human tissue, and guns. Here are 15 images of the recent rise of 3-D printing.

                        A dream come true for me with good ol' R.J. MacReady. Need to see the head sculpt in a different light though, as it seems off in this pic.

                          I want to get a figure of the guy sitting at the table who utters the unforgettable line:
                          "You've gotta be f****n' kiddin' me..."
                          That's one of my favorite parts of the movie.

                          Also, on the AMIL figures. I'm hoping that the figure of Jack has little piece of hangy-downy-dingly piece of flesh he had in the movie, particularly scene where he comes to visit David in Alex's living room...

                            I wonder if they are in compatible scale with this figure
