      The Venture Brothers is my favorite line and it keeps getting better! I can't believe the character choices! Pete White and Jefferson Twilight I expected, but Shore Leave and Sgt. Hatred!?!? Amazing!!

        At this point, we've pretty much got the all the main characters and most of the fan favorites in 8" ReMego format. At this point, I think it's exceeded most folk's expectations from when the line was first announced. There are close to TWENTY figures in this line now. That is incredible, and really a testament to how well Bif Bang Pow has done with the Remego format with the number of figures produced across all their lines now. IF Venture is in fact shifting to the 3 3/4" format now, I think that is great as well... Mego did release figures across multiple size formats, so I'm considering the smaller ones to be the Comic Action or Pocket Heroes to the ReMegos.

          I don't know how long it can keep going, but I would still want Triana, The Pirate Captain, The Action Man, Colonel Horace Gentleman, Kano, Baron Ünderbheit, Col. Hunter Gathers, even Action Johnny! And if they went with a dwarf body, we could get Jonas Venture, Jr. and Tim-Tom and Kevin!

          Maybe it's just me.

              Yeah I'd buy Hunter Gathers and the original team Venture in a heartbeat but it does start to get a bit "Pegwarmy"

                I know, I know. I think Ünderbheit would do well at least. And a Dr.Mrs. The Monarch.

                  I think they could do a Jonas Jr via the kitbash method that brought us Brock. If they used an adult torso on a kid body with some new sculpts on the limb extremities, it would probably work. I was thinking that Billy was going to be a (slightly oversized) adult head on a kid body, but I am not sure what is up with the current proto of the Quizboy.

                  Baron Underbhite is a must do and could use the muscle body with some newly tooled shoes or boots.
                  Triana, Hunter, the original team Venture, Tim Tom and Kevin in a four pack (dollboy costumes and maggot gear) for a con exclusive would be great. So many more characters to mine from this franchise and I hope it keeps on going.
                  Actually, I hope they make some new episodes some day so we can have even more of these to clutter up our shelves.

                    pegwarmy?

                    I dunno. I think they have done really well for a show that has not had a new episode since they began making the figures.
                    As was stated earlier - I'll keep on buying them if they keep on making them.

                      I don't know, the new character selection may be dwindling, but I think there are still some A-list variants that would sell well...You could get a handful of looks out of Brock, Rusty & the boys alone...Dr. Mrs. The Monarch, OSI Brock & Shore Leave, OSI/SPHINX/BlackHeart Hunter Gathers, Monarch (2nd costume), Wonder Boy Hank w/Capt. Sunshine?

                        much rather see new characters than costume change variants.
                        It would be more fun to see a retro costume pack sewn onto a card ala Action Jackson/GI Joe.

                          Still waiting on a David Bowie figure. If not,I'll settle for a Mandalay(Roy Brisby's bodyguard) figure.

                            Well.... no Catclops, Girl Hitler or Neurotic 8-Ball.... or Kim.... Even though he was only around for one episode, #1 would be cool. So would Brock's car. You could do a regular and a blood soaked version.

                                As we've talked about I've only seen the first season, but some of these designs and characters are too fun. I'll be getting the SHore Leave, Sphinx Brock and Sgt. Hatred for sure. I'll have to customize my own Captain Sunshine.

                                I suppose I should watch all the seasons and buy all the figures...
                                I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

                                If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.
