      I noticed on Biff Bang's website they sell B&W Twilight Zone bobble heads ... They're actually pretty neat, but I noticed none of them are human characters.

      Will some of the new figures be humans ?

        I'd vote for:
        the Devil and/or a monk from "The Howling Man"

        Art Carney as Santa from "The Night of the Meek"

        Buster Keaton as the time traveler from "Once Upon a Time"

        the doll people from "Five Characters in Search of an Exit"--they'd be life sized

        the afore-mentioned Kanamit from "To Serve Man"
        Willie the Dummy from "The Dummy"

        Burgess Meredith from "Printer's Devil"

        the wax murderers from "The New Exhibit"

        William Shakespeare from "The Bard"

          I like the Major from "Five Characters in Search of an Exit"

          He's just begging to be turned into a Commodore Decker custom

            That sounds kind of awesome! Great film. Although I have to admit that I laughed out loud rather inappropriately when I finally saw it as an adult and realized that Mel Blanc had been doing Lon Chaney Jr impersonations in all those Looney Toons, and it wasn't just a literary reference to the book when he was talking about rabbits and naming him George.

              I guess the same applies to all the actors involved, and the license is just for the creatures and non-human characters, the one's not recognizable by the actors likeness?

                I shall be very blunt. BW figure suck. I do not want a bw firgure which by the way is not even true black and white, but a grey and whit blend. I hated the bw figures for sin city, at least they made the figures in colour as well.Why not do half the run in bw and half in colour? did not like the zombie bw figures put out a few months ago. for same reason. If Rod will be made pls make him in colour.

                  In addition to some of the obvious ones already mentioned, I want an 8" Agnes Moorehead and an in-scale spaceship from the Invaders episode. Some tiny invader pack-ins would be cool, or just an 8" version of them. I also want Burgess Merideth holding his broken glasses. The 5 Characters in Search of an Exit ones would be cool, but I'd prefer they made prop replicas of the dolls that appear at the end. Another one I'd like would be Jack Klugman and Jonathan Winters from "A Game of Pool."

                    That just made my day. probably makes you guys's job easier, too. No trying to figure out what color a Canabite was.

                      I'm guessing the black & white will be tinted appropriately. You can get an idea from their Gremlin Bobblehead:



                      I like the blue tint.

                          I am not a big fan of black and white figures. They are boring, sorry to offend anyone but I own a few Twilght Zone figures that were produced in B/W. At first I was really excited about them but I became bored quickly.

                            see, I don't get that, both source materials you mentioned were B/W so why wouldn't dolly representations be the same? Color Sin City really makes no sense, Frank Miller intended for the art to be that way.

                              I'm very much in favour of black and white figures because that is how you would capture the flavour of the original shows. I think it would look odd to see a blue or green Gremlin for example. The one in my nostalgic memory is the black and white one on the old tv set.

                              Although the palatte for this Gremlin is quite subtle.

                                I know I won't get what I want, but I prefer colour.
                                When they make Karloff's Frankenstein monster, it's green.
                                Originally, the actors on set were also "in colour". The camera just couldn't show you colour yet.
                                When they released Doctor Who figures in B/W from the early years, I didn't buy them.

                                I think the TZ figures will be cool nonetheless, but I would have picked colour.
