      I think Starsky and Hutch would be a cool addition along with POTA.

        POTA would be awesome!

          definitely excited about the Dark Crystal as a reproduction of the unproduced line ala the Alien set that Super7 and Funko did a little while back.
          Also interested in the progression of the aforementioned Alien line with regards to moving into the Aliens movie with the power loader and such. Should be a fun set.
          The NBX series 1 figures were fun, but I sort of did not get the warm fuzzy for the 4 inch line. I am thinking the same might be true for the Addams family. It would be cool to see designs that are closer to the strip rather than the tv show. These retro figures seem to benefit from not having to look like a living person.
          With that in mind, the Bill and Ted ones should be great if they are aping the Dorkin comic look rather than the live action movie. I hope to at least see some Dorkin art on the cards for these.
          The conan and red sonja lines should be good, especially if they break away from the rigid skinny look of the retro 5 point figure. Not that they should have more articulation, just give them a bit more muscle. If they went for the POTF2 1995 Kenner vibe, that would be awesome.

            Addams Family will indeed be the old show versions, and I can't wait for them. I will probably pick up the A-Team figures as well.

              I don't understand the point of these figures. Horrible sculpted hardly any articulation for $10.00 a piece. I would rather have one Hot Toys figure for $200 then 20 of these awful figures.

                I really wish these were RAH style. Could it be a patent issue?

                  They're suppose to be 'What If' figures. The idea is what if Kenner had made these figures back in the day.

                    I like the funko stuff for what it is, some better than others. I have been making backdrops for them and I think they look much better with a little scenery than they do on their own. So far I've made a rooftop scene, Escape from NY, the broken window apartment for the Crow, and some Trek backgrounds. Here's an example:
                    roof-webpic-1.jpg
                    I think it makes a big difference in how the figures look, and have tried to keep the backgrounds small enough to fit nicely in small spaces. I hope to work my way up to playsets for these eventually, but am trying to keep them small and modular so they can link together. I've also printed some big enough for Mego scale figures with good results.

                      Exactly. And if you look at them that way, they really are cool!

                          It's hit or miss but when they hit, it's pretty terrific.

                            I love my Universal Monsters. I bypassed the ReAction Rocketeer, but went for the very nice 6" Funko figure.

                              Heck,I just got the Invisible Man variant for $1.76. So the $10 price doesn't really kill it if you can hold out and wait about a month or longer. Most of the figures now go for $5 or less.

                                Where are you finding them for this price? At least on Amazon and EE, most of what I can find is closer to $10 on average. I haven't collected much beyond some of the Alien figures but if I decide to get into more of them, it would be cool to know where to get a good deal.
