    Exclusive Premiere Movie/TV Toys?

    In the 1990s, Exclusive Premiere released several toys (not sure if figure fits them--they weren't that easy to pose) from classic film & television. At the time, I remember Jim West, Marshal Dillon, and Rowdy Yates in a western part of the line. Is there a list anywhere of these?

    The only film ones I ever got were Rick & Ilsa from Casablanca. What other movie icons were made?

    Has there ever been an Errol Flynn Robin Hood or a Basil Rathbone Sherlock Holmes?

    Thanks.

    There are figures from:

    It's a Wonderful Life
    White Christmas
    The Bond Movies
    Lauriel & Hardy
    Happy Days
    Titanic
    The Munsters
    Burns & Allen
    Babylon 5
    Gilligan's Island
    Dukes of Hazzard
    Country Stars

    That's what I can think of off the top of my head.

      I had a couple of their figures back in the day and didn't care for them. Since then, I've gotten their Matt Dillon, Lone Ranger, and Tonto figures and have rethought my stance on them a bit.

          I remember the Stooges. That's definitely an odd mix of new, classic, and in between, and the choice of movies is fascinating. I'll have to do some searching. Thanks for the link, torgospizza.

          So they didn't make Flynn or Rathbone. Anyone know if they've ever been made?

            I have James West and the Get Smart figures. Maybe we should add a gallery here at the Museum for Exclusive Premiere? I think Brian once remarked the person who started this line once worked for Mego,(?). If we could get the full story behind these releases I bet it would be an interesting tale.

              Agreed. I have James West and my dad has both from Casablanca. I'll have to see about finding him George Bailey--too bad they never made Clarence!

              I'd love to know what prompted the different properties they did license and what they were looking to add.

                They made George, Mary AND Clarence from It's a Wonderful Life.

                  Okay, I thought the website was showing all of the options. Thanks!
