    I am just guessing that McFarlane still holds the action figure licensing. I could be wrong however.

    I'd love to see that. But I doubt it would happen. But I'd love to see it.

    Did I mention that I'd love to see it?

    Yeah. The impression I get is they do everything w/McFarlane.

    Gene Simmons would probably allow that, for a modest fee

    I think KISS is such a huge merchandising juggernaut, it would be next to impossible to make a limited line of eight inch figures that could justify the licensing costs.
    It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.

    It would have to be very broadly released in order to justify it's existance. The two biggest factors working against it are:

    1) Fatigue- KISS action figures have really been done to death. McFarlane probably reaped the greatest reward in the 1990s with his stuff, it's been a steady decline since.

    2) The death of record chains, the collector action figure market really got hurt by the down turn of these guys.

    KISS superheroes
    KISS Zombies
    KISS Alter Egos
    KISS Era outfits
    KISS Love Gun Girls

    KISS can't be the only ones in their universe, so they'd need some Villians or Guardians (The Elders)...

    ohh the possiblities...
