Hm...police station, eh?

Oh that would be too cool. Starsky and Hutch, CHiPS, Commissioner Gordon, Dick Tracy figures that need to exist... even them rowdy Duke boys could come to the party and, uh, get locked up.

Yes, that playset would be seriously cool.

[AAAAA]

Moon Maiden yeah!

[sprytel]

Didn't SWAT have a police station playset?

[Meule]

Personally I'd pass on Dick Tracy, never saw the appeal, but I can definitely see CAW do this. Dick Tracy would fit right in in the 8" universe. In fact, I'm surprised no one has ever done this before

Yep, so did Kojack.

I would love to see Dick Tracy Figures...just for the Customizing Parts alone. Hats, Trench Coats, different colored dress Shirts, Guns, etc...

Hmmmm....

I'd love a set; especially if they were from the earlier comics. The newer stuff is kinda.... bizarre....

Does anybody have these figures from the movie loose? If so, send them to me and I will see what I can do with the heads in terms of enlarging them for Mego scale.

Warren Beatty in fedora=Clyde (from Bonnie and Clyde)!

I think I have the 9-10 inch,(?), Applause figures for Dick Tracy & Breathless Mahoney, ( which looks more like Marylin Monroe than Madonna-because Madonna fancies herself the new Marylin, HA! Madonna=Skank!).

Austin if enough people here want them I'll give them to you for nothing and you just give me back shipping. I'm not using them for anything and they're just sitting around.

If you want the villains this auction is your best bet:

There was also a 14" Dick Tracy which is a nicer sculpt but looks niether like Beatty nor the comic character:

DICK TRACY Plush Figure, 14" Tall, New With Tags - eBay (item 170438913622 end time Aug-26-10 15:10:11 PDT)

Applause did the only sculpts worth adapting. Playmates made crap DT figures as far as I can see. Maybe some villains in 3-4 inch scale could be enlarged if they don't exist in 9-10 inch scale due to their cartoony appearance anyway but your options are limited.

I think this would be a neat line to persue....

[kerowack]

I would, for the first time ever, buy the entire set MOC AND loose. I've been waiting for a great Tracy line since I was a kid. Now 32, I'm still waiting....

I don't know how big of a seller it would be, but it couldn't do worse than a lot of the lines I've seen in the the past ten years....

I'm probably one of the very few who doesn't mind the otherwise universally reviled Playmates figs. The actual head sculpts weren't that bad. A little cartoony and lacking in detail... but they wouldn't need to be enlarged too much, if that's the route someone wanted to take. The Applause figures are great, it's a shame they didn't make more.

Also, I found this neat-o Captain Action custom from this blog.

The yellow hat and trenchcoat work on the comics page, but in real life,
it's painful. Yellow works best as an accent color.

It would be kind of neat to do a Warren Beatty custom. No one sells a Beatty head though.
