    I just got two of those on clearance... I might consider that a reason why not.

    With so much varied musical taste, I think it would be hard to pick the ones that have the most overall appeal. Even McFarlane isn't doing musicians anymore. I guess they ran out of icons.

    Having said all of that, I would be totally into musician figures. Hendrix, Jim Morrison,the Beatles, KISS, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, and on and on would be cool to me!

      Probably because most of the musicians these days heads have gotten too big for their bodies. Most of them tend to ask for such ludicrous dollar amounts because they "think" they can get it and sadly some times do. This just raises the bar for the rest of them to jump on the bandwagon.

      Unfortunately, This is why a lot of nice and cool figures like those that could exist if it were not for greed will probably never even see the light of day. On the other hand they would make great bobble heads. Think about it. A huge head with little bodies.

        Perhaps, but McFarlane is doing sports figures and nobody has bigger heads than athletes. I wonder if the rights are different?
        Perhaps they buy a team license instead of individuals. Not sure how it all works.....

          Yes, You are right a lot of the players do have big heads as well. I am not real sure either. I always thought that it was something that was negotiated in their contract under the licensing and what not. I see a lot of posters, trading cards and other stuff easily available so I am thinking that may be the case.

          I could only imagine that if it was left up to each individual player there would be a lot of trading cards that would never make it to print much less for sale.
