What would be the coolest public domain character or line that could be made?

[LonnieFisher]

Public domain characters need to be made. Who in the public domain is cool enough to have a line of figures made?
Monsters, historical people, legends, gods?

Telsa! (click to see why)

Geeks would buy him and they could stock him in the Telsa Museum when it opens.

Awesome choice!

Back in the day a model kit company came out with a "Born Losers" line which included such historical figures as Napoleon, Hitler and Castro done up in humorous poses.

I think something along the same lines would do well today perhaps with a few current "losers" added.

I third the Tesla suggestion for world's greatest inventors.

I'd love to see some Greek myth monsters: Medusa, Minotaur, Cyclops etc. Also, I think a Centaur would be hugely successful.

And the Telsa head could then be used to make a custom Howard Stark:

Ohh - I like that! Maybe Tycho Brahe could be in the first wave of this series too? Metal nose version, of course!

Famous Ghosts!

The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, Resurrection Mary, Bell Witch, Gettysburg Ghosts, Ghost of Abraham Lincoln, etc.

[Gorn Captain]

Famous pirates.
And no, not Johnny Depp...

[JediJaida]

How about non Marvel versions of Amazons, Asgard, Olympus, etc.

Tesla is most definitely NOT the first character I would have thought of and yet I would be amongst the first in line to buy one ...

World's Greatest Chess Players of the 17th Century

Exciting!
These would go well with the World's Greatest Chinese Philosophers of the 13th Century I had in mind....
