[jackson5677]

Do you think 8" band figures would sell ?

Alice Cooper
Motley Crue
Ozzy / Randy Rhoads
Marilyn Manson
Rob Zombie
Stryper
Beatles
Monkees
????????

[Chris]

It could be fun. The KISS line was a welcomed treat.

[BATMAN89]

I do think certain, more popular rockers would sell.

[boss]

Stryper? really? ;-)

[torgospizza]

I'd buy Motley Crue, the Beatles, and Van Halen (1978-1984).

[BlackKnight]

I've aways wanted to do Like a "Monsters of Rock Line" ...I'd buy them, if made .
Here's my Line Up ...

Rob Zombie ( Make him Zombie-ish with the Trench Coat as in later years. )
Slash ( Top Hat a Must ...., and a switch out skull Head)
Marilyn Manson ( Probably Beautiful People look )
Dime Bag Darryl ( Complete with his Confederate Guitar )
Ozzy ( Bark at the Moon Ozzy , where he's WereWolfed out)
Iron Maiden's Eddie is a No Brainer imo. I like his Civil War Outfit best.


I'd start here ......, I know there was a couple others ....

[CrimsonGhost]

That's a good list BlackKnight. I like the skull Slash head idea.

I would want to add:
Ziggy Stardust (I have a head sculpt ready to go...Just sayin'. "
Lemmy Kilmister
The Misfits
Wendy O. Williams
G. G. Allin (it would never happen! HAHA!)
The Ramones
Dee Snider
Jim Morrison
Jimi Hendrix

Ah...there really are too many to name.

[BlackKnight]

I Forgot The Dee Snider .... Cross Dressed with Football Pads is a Must.

[megocrazy]

While the Beatles license would be astronomical price wise, they would offer the best chance for success IMO. Plus you could do variations. The original 60's black suits, Sgt. Peppers, animated Yellow Submarine figures, and 70's Let It Be versions. I doubt you would sell enough to make it worth while but if done well they could be cool. Jimi Hendrix could be cool too.

[Remco Monster]

G. G. Allin (it would never happen! HAHA!)

Haha, you never know, there is a bobble head after all.

I would buy The Misfits (as long as Glenn was made) and The Ramones....and THE MUMMIES.

[ctc]

Hmmmm....

It's a great idea. The trick would be selling enough to cover the invariably high cost for the rights.

....but it's still an awesome idea.

70's Ted Nugent in loincloth

ELVIS. You can do a young Elvis, '68 comeback Elvis, and use a Mego/CTVT fat body for the out-of-shape 70's Elvis. Give him a peanut butter and 'nanner sandwich accessory, too.

Down with CrimsonGhost's suggestion of a Lemmy figure. C'mon, who doesn't love Lemmy? The man's adorable!

Also, BlackKnight's on the right track with Eddie from Iron Maiden - that character alone could carry a line of figures from almost every album cover, all of 'em would look sweet on a shelf.

Few other ideas:
GWAR (I want a Beefcake the Mighty figure!)
King Diamond
Anthrax and Public Enemy - we have a Scott Ian figure, we need his bandmates! AND Flavor Flav! BRING THE NOISE!

[Zemo]

Alice Cooper would be huge, he's the original monster of rock.

[Mikey]

Alice Cooper would be good because If we put his head on a fat body we got a custom Svengoolie
