I would LOVE to see Castaway get the license for Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit. With the three movies coming out, (one last Christmas, two more to go), they are BEGGING to be made into action figures. Who wouldn't want a Gandalf?
Or, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. None of the figures done in this license has really appealed to me, due to posing issues, expense and lack of availability. We could get Buffy, Angel, Spike, Xander, Anya, Giles, Willow, etc.
We could get interchangeable heads for the vampire figures, one in game face, and the other with a more human appearance.
Or, the Addams family (classic mind you.) Morticia, Gomez, Uncle Fester, etc. (although Lurch would have to be a 12" figure. And cousin Itt would have to be either child sized or teen sized.)
Personally, the thing I'd want to see happen most of all is the 8" Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon.
However, there's a prototype Cast-A-Way started and never finished that I'd love see happen. That was Nosferatu. I was super jazzed about that figure when it was announced!
Nosferatu is a personal goal for me... I have wanted this for a long time and it just never came to fruition. When I saw Salem's lot as a kid it deeply scared me and changed how I thought about vampires. Not slick, cheesy dudes with grease back hair... this guy was real. When I finally saw Nosferatu years laer it was undeniable where the inspiration came from for Mr. Barlow... to say i want to make this figure is a galactic understatement

We still need a classic blue suit Phantom! The Phantom really was the crown jewel in the Cast-A-Way collection. It still commands big bucks on the secondary market. There's still a lot that can be done with this license. It would be nice to have a Diana Palmer Walker figure. A female Phantom would be great too. Plenty of generations variants possibilities. A Tom Tyler and/or Billy Zane Phantom would be Amazing!
I really love all of the old pulp magazine/serial characters.
I've wanted a Kolchak: The Night Stalker figure for 40 years.
I agree with Nosferatu being one of the scariest things in filmdom. I remember seeing the original black and white movie as a kid, and it scared me to the point where I couldn't go to sleep unless the lights were on.
That pointy bald head, buck teeth that happen to be fangs, loooooong fingers with dirty fingernails, and as pale as a worm; oh yeah! That's freaking scary.
I'd like to say that I'm really happy to see how excited people are about the Type "S" body, the Kickstarter campaign seems to be going really well. I also want to say that regarding this new partnership between our companies, Cast-a-Way Toys and ZICA Toys, Dave and I are in it to win it! If this Kickstarter campaign isn't successful this will only cause a delay in our business plans, not the demise of our partnership. However, a successful Kickstarter campaign will definitely help us get the cool stuff made for you a lot faster!
