I don't think an 8 inch line based on SNL would sell.

>I don't think an 8 inch line based on SNL would sell.

EVERYTHING will sell, the trick is:

-will it sell enough to make production worthwhile
-can you get it exposure amongst the folks who'd want it

SNL is one of them things with appeal beyond the typical toy crowd, so there's a potential HUGE audience. But a lot of them are casual buyers, so you need to make the figure inexpensive enough to warrant a more impulsive buy, and get it somewhere where it'd be easy for them to get one. (The SNL crowd probably aren't haunting the comic shops.) It's a risk, but it has potential rewards.

To that end, I could REALLY use a Church Lady to fight my monster collection. (Or Warduke. Having lived through the 80's that one seems appropriate.)

I'd buy an Ed Grimley for every room in my house, I must say.

Eddie Murphy as James Brown + Hot Tub playset

[monitor_ep]

This needs to happen.

This. There is no way they would have the likeness rights to all these actors, most likely it will be SNL characters that kind of look like the actors that played them.

Hi Everyone! SNL is a massive license that covers many eras and characters - and actors. Consequently, there are lots of rules with our SNL agreement. What we can reveal today is that our action figures will have likeness rights.

You know what would be really cool? If BBP packaged the cast member along with an assortment of costumes and props to dress them up as their iconic characters. It would be like the Maxx FX of sketch comedy.
