Rock figures
Definitely agree with the Eddies. I would buy every one. Also Zep, Beatles (revamped), KISS (in 8" scale, every costume, with Eric and Vinnie), Hendrix, Doors, Janice, Jerry Garcia, Elvis, Metallica, Slayer. Let's get them all in there. I love Anthrax, but it seems like such a random figure to start with. If there were others to add to the Metal/Rock collection to give Mr. Ian purpose, I am on board.Comment

A line of Eddies from Iron Maiden would rule - I know a few headbangers in my neck of the woods that'd snap 'em up in a heartbeat. Maybe a line of rock mascots would work (Judas Priest's Mettalion anyone? Snaggletooth from Motorhead? Vic Rattlehead from Megadeath?)
I do agree that rock star figures might be a tough sell as it'd be a niche item - rock fans, possibly musicians, etc. might snap 'em up, but outside of that...
Still, I'll likely pick up the Scott Ian figure just for kicks, and I dream of the day I can snag a Lemmy figure (hey, who doesn't love Lemmy?). Elvis might be a lock, as his appeal touches a wider demographic. I do agree that those rock stars with a big visual appeal would work better (Alice Cooper, Slipknot, etc.). You really want to push the envelope, consider GWAR, Marilyn Manson, or go the black metal route with bands like Immortal or any other band that wears corpse paint. Yeah, the parents might raise quite a few eyebrows (remember the hullabaloo parents threw about KISS back in the day, my fellow old-timers? Good times!), but that's rock n' roll, man!
"It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."Comment

Now that they are remaking the Yellow Submarine in CG, it might not be a bad idea to get the licensing to make EMCE YS Beatles. Include proper instruments.
The McFarlanes were nice but too bulky and cumbersome.
A Jimi Hendrix would be ideal as well and have them sold at the gift shop at the Experience Music Project.Comment

Oh yeah, a Syd Barrett would be nice too.Comment

Devo would be very, very cool.Comment

Does a large thread like this invite the chance at more rock figs then?
I think the thread shows interest in this line. I wonder if I buy the odd guy with the beard that is out if that could insure more rock folks.Comment

Right now Mattel has in their Barbie Line a doll of Cindi Lauper,Debbie Harry and Joan Jett. So I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work for BBP or Emce to include more musical personalities.Comment

Why is so hard to get a KISS license is krap like this is on the shelf at Kmart?
I mean KISS must be nostalgic since its the merchandising
and one can even say the MEGOS THEMSELVES which is
why anybody really cares in the first place. Maybe someone
should try and get the license thru LiveNation?
(They are doing the Wall concert promotion too so this thread can
take on new meaning)Comment
