    1) Mattel would re-release the Big Jim line, including the Pack team (accessories and vehicles included).
    2) EMCE would do an exact reproduction of the AHI Monsters on their original cards.
    3) FTC would acquire and release Battle of the Planets figures. The entire team plus Zoltar.
    4) BBP would reacquire the Flash Gordon license and finish making characters from the movie in the 8 inch scale.
    5) Castaway would release a movie and serial version of the Phantom.
    6) ZICA gets license to release Adam West figure prototype from a few years back.

      I'd get Sideshow to finish the Outer Limits series. Every single alien that appeared on the show. Maybe release one every month or two.

        Oh man, I could spend a day thinking about this. Lots of awesome ideas listed already.
        I would definitely do a new Microman/ Micronauts line at 3.75 based off the 99 series.
        An 8 inch Henshin Cyborg line.
        8 inch Big Jim w/ Pack
        8 inch Adventure Team Joes with Super-Joe, Luminous, Bulletman, Mike Power, Intruder.
        Figures is coming up with a DC universe based off pre-Crisis so that is already in the pipe which is what I would do, too.
        8 inch Space Alien line with glow weapons, light-up weapons and armour.
        8 inch Knights and fantasy line with designs based off Chap Mei' "Legend of Knights" designs

          affordable vinyl retro Godzilla figures reproing the 60s-70s figures
          FTC Batmobile for the 66 line.

              I'd release Battle of the Planets figures, and would also bring to life Jonny Quest, in 8" and 12" and also Speed Racer.

              I'd also make sure there are plenty of toys on the shelves! Today's shopping experience is terrible and I yearn to see rows and rows of toys on the shelf!

                I'd want an 8-inch Six Million Dollar Man that had a dead-on likeness of Lee Majors with a correctly scaled head.

                8-inch scaled Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, and THRUSH agent.

                8-inch scaled James West and Artemus Gordon, and Dr Loveless.

                  I'd be down for all of those, as well as a HT SMDM Steve Austin w/ an extra battle-damaged arm.

                  I'd buy Mark Harris in any scale and maybe Mr. Schubert, but only if Mark's hands were clearly webbed.

                  Honestly, it amazes me Sideshow hasn't picked this up already. I guess they see DML's 1/6 Next Generation figures gathering dust and think the property's the issue. A company with better resources and talent would do fine, especially with ST:TOS.

                  I wouldn't be a bit surprised if GoHero offers a 1/6 Tom Tyler serial Phantom at some point, with how they're specializing in pulp, movie serial, and old TV characters, lately.

                    I actually think BBP crossed a major one of the list with their upcoming Flash Gordon 3 3/4" figures.

                      Just a few off the top of my head.
                      Funko's reaction Star Trek figures are of the animated series
                      Neca does a Addams Family (TV series)line. Build a figure= polar bear
                      Hasbro resurrects the Kenner name and finishes out the vintage line (nothing prequel)
                      Someone resurrects playing mantis and makes the Jonny Quest we never got (vintage Action Man style boxes)

                        I would remake LJN's Dungeons and Dragons line. I would keep it retro as possible while making small fixes and updates to the toys as needed. Like getting rid of the O-rings, re-sculpting the hands so the figures can hold their weapons and accessories better and fix Peralay's height. I would also release figures of the characters that didn't make it into the toyline. Like Filaree the Druid, Charmay the Magic User, Figgin the Halfing, Skylla the Magic User, Raven the Cleric, etc.
                        You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                          I'd get Zica to do 8" figures of Superman The Movie and all the current Marvel movies.

                          I might have to take a stab at this myself now that I think about it, but I'd get a kick out of seeing Funko RetroAction Law and Order (and Criminal Intent) figures. Or maybe a Curb Your Enthusiasm Larry David.

                          I'd be the only one buying this, but I'd love a pull-string talking Frank Nelson doll. YEE-EHSSSS.

                                I'd be purchasing a set of these as well I'd love to see logans run (TV series) in 3 3/4 inch as well I just wish Funko would do vehicles to go with some of those lines that would be really retro for that scale
