Anyone up for some CHips?

[binkystarr]

Anyone interested in FTC re doing the classic CHips action figures? I have been re watching the show after 3 decades and wondering if FTC might even consider re releasing this property? chpismego.jpgchipsd.jpg

hey, they'd get the head sizes right!!

[JediJaida]

As long as they don't become zombies. But please, no rictus smile like Ponch had originally. That was just freaky.

[GlobalObserver]

It wouldn't surprise me.

I think they're planning on making Starsky and Hutch.

Estrada grinned like that in every damn episode. And Lord knows FTC loves smiles--except when teeth are obligatory, like Sivana lol.

But: The Mego sculpts were awful.

[Brown Bear]

I already have a Ponch and John. I'd rather something new.

[JediJaida]

I have Starsky and Hutch, so I'm not really interested in retreads of the characters.

I'd like to see something completely new and creative from them, not just a hot property.

[houseofdracula]

Honestly?
I'd rather see them redo the Waltons.

[Joshua the Atomic Robot]

FTC already makes most of the costume and accessories for CHiPs. All they would need is the heads and the stickers. I would buy them if they made them, ESPECIALLY if they made the motorcycles. The original figures aren't that hard to find, but the motorcycles are pretty pricey.

I knew I liked you. How can I not chime in? I love the show, I loved the Mego versions, I'd love the opportunity to complete the whole Walton family. But admittedly, that's very idiosyncratic.

corn chips.

I'd honestly have zero interest. I thought I'd be all over the extended Dukes universe, and I barely bought any of them. They're already getting my money on heroes and other stuff that's coming soon. There are about ten 70s shows I can name in a blink that I'd rather see licensed, and I doubt I'd be a buyer on all of them when it came down to it. The market is getting saturated....I think they need to choose wisely going forward.

I would truly rather see more Waltons or WoOz.

I didn't pick up the Walton's figures in the 70's because I was a kid who's head was filled with Adam West's Batman and not much more.
While my parents & grandparents did watch the Waltons, I didn't really start to appreciate it until I was an adult.
Also, the Mego Walton's seemed (to me) to be marketed towards girls.

I do remember the episode where their house caught fire and I thought to myself that if I did own the Mego Waltons & house, how much fun it might be to reenact that episode.
So, maybe it's a good thing that I never owned that playset as a kid.

Would love another update to Starsky and Hutch.

[Barnabas Collins]

I'd like The Walton's, too.
