The "What should Castaway Do Next" Thread. (sorry Dave)

This Dude and his partner......

I was thinking about introducing a thread comparing Obitsu female bodies to vintage Megos, or Doc's new females.


The closest the Obitsu line has is a 21cm female body, whereas vintage and Doc's bodies are 20.32 cm.

Has anyone else ever gotte a hold of one? It might be interesting to compare the two.

Derek is using one for his still headless Mary Jane Watson custom. It looks sooo much better than the very weak Mego female.

[JediJaida]

Let's not tell Doc about this. We don't want to hurt his feelings.

That goes for everyone else. Sssshhhh!

Still I wonder how a DM head would look on an Obitsu or Volks body.

[thunderbolt]

^^^ I just don't like the Mego female body. Never have.

Damn you all!!!

OK, now I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the blatantly obvious choice:

GILLIGAN'S ISLAND

Castaway...get it? Gilligan's Island characters are known as the castaways.
Get the Professor & Mary-Ann (& Ginger if you can get her off her high-horse) to promote the line on TV shows & ComicCon. It's not like they have anything else to do. Fantasy Island & Love Boat haven't been on for years!
Rich

LOL!!!

OK where were you guys when I post a myriad of " Gilligan's Island requests for the guys at CTVT?

Why I think Gilligan is awesome I don't think it right for Castaway... oddly enough.

Certainly CTVT would have been better served had they tried to make that line rather than the Brady Bunch.....

Licensing is tough however.

I vote for I Dream of Jeannie, and Bewitched.

Mego lost the license for the former, and they never even bothered with the latter, as a Samantha Stevens doll would have been nothing more than a retooled Dinah mite, and a different wardrobe.

Jeannie would have been different, due to the harem outfit, the pony tail, and the fact that her head could bob back and forth.

To tell the truth, I kind of preferred Jeannie over Sam, as Sam was more concerned with keeping her neurotic hubby from having a nervous breakdown than she was in being her own person.

Jeannie was a jealous, possessive, mischievous otherworldly being who got her 'Master' into trouble all the time, and then cleaned up afterward.

I would love to see a better Mego scale female body and more female head sculpts with molded hair instead of rooted, when possible.

Figures I'd like to see:

Kolchak
Tin Man (DG, Cain, Glitch, Raw, Azkadellia)
Logan's Run
Lost in Space
Guy Williams as Zorro
Xena (Gabrielle, Ares, Hercules, Iolus, (Bruce Campbell as Autolyus)
Battlestar Galactica 2003
V for Vendetta
Shaun and Ed from Shaun of the Dead
Bruce Campbell - Ash Evil Dead
Dread Pirate Roberts - Cary Ewles figure could double as a Saw figure with Jigsaw

How in the Hell did this go 14 pages without a plug for Magnum PI?

Remember those days?

[yokaijohn]

how about Bob Ross and other PBS stars!!!!

[JediJaida]

Bob Ross. Ah, how I used to LOVE that program.

Especially when insomnia was stalking me.

All I had to do was find a station with his show on it, and fifteen minutes later, my eylids would be drooping.

His voice was sooooooooo relaxing, I'd start snoring halfway through the picture.

The paintings were pretty nice, though.

Hey! That's his superpower! He can knock out cranky toddlers who don't want to take a nap!

[jimbutsu]

Magnum PI, Bob Ross, and Billy Mays.

Make it a three-pack.
