Just for fun - what other 3 3/4 inch lines do you want to grow your Zica Universe?

Planet of the Apes in Kenner format is a must.

I was disappointed when PALISADES went out of business before their proposed POTA 3 3/4 inch line could see the light of day.

They did a great job on the Army of Darkness figure 2 packs, and I was looking forward to armies of solider apes. Kenner style POTA figures that would fit in with the Star Wars figures, and mego Trek movie figures would be fun.

Soldier ape armies!

I'd also love future mutants with swappable heads: one "normal" and one mutated.

Not to mention all the other various characters

Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly!

The 70s Invisible Man series.

True Blood: rednecks, vampires, werewolves, shifters, maenads and witches! What's not to love?

And I would KILL for Kenner style The Big Bang Theory figures.

How about The Monkees? After seeing them in concert I can tell you there is still a strong following!

I like Star Wars as something to watch on TV, but I cannot bring myself to collect the figures. That said, Kenner firmly entrenched with the SW license what Mego started, that this is the proper scale. ERTL and Galoob both followed suit with their Trek offerings. Playmates deviated from the norm with their 4.5 inch figures, and no matter how successful it was, it was never going to be good enough because that scale will never support the quality of Playset that these figures demand. People will never pay what companies would have to charge in order to be able to afford to make them. With the Playmates line there was only ever 1 playset they could have made that would have been profitable and they never even had plans to make it. I know because it was my idea and they would never talk to me about it. What killed Trek as a license for them was not completing their offering for the 2009 line and leaving the playset unfinished. Playmates will never be able to do Trek figures again.

CCC.

I liked them at first and had we got more I might have overlooked some of their faults, but looking at them in hindsight I think Playmates would have done better releasing just one scale and completing the crew. It would have been a great time for Playmates to return to their 4.5" figures of the 90's, but with better articulation similar to their new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It seems like most companies are now trying multiscale figure ranges: look at Hasbro and their 6" Star Wars figures, not to mention 12" versions of the original Star Wars figures from the 1970s.

I hope ZICA releases a large number of villains and supporting characters for The Six Million Dollar Man range. Would love to see more cult shows and movies represented in this format.

As much as it pains me to say, I don't think Hasbro is going to do anything with Star Trek beyond those Kreo blocks and Battle Pods. It sucks because if Hasbro took the same approach with Star Trek as they did with Star Wars they would have a hit on their hands. That crappy line that Playmates Toys had out in 2009 should not be used to say whether or not a new line would be successful or not.

I agree entirely re. Hasbro's approach. However, I do think the Playmates 2009 line had fantastic head sculpts. The rest of the figures and the lacklustre paint jobs didn't help though.

Just Star Trek, from TMP back:

Uhura, Chekov, Sulu, Cmdr Sonek, 3 Vulcan Masters, bridge ensign with large forehead, Scotty in Radiation suit, security troop, Ilia in both outfits-not a mix of them, Chief DiFalco (c'mon, Shatner's wife), Lt. Rand.

Andorian, Tellarite, Klingon (maybe), Romulan, Cheronite, Gorn, Mugatu, Troyan, Horta, Talosian, Vian, Excalbian, Medusan.

Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, Checkov, Rand, Kyle, Chapel, M'Benga, Dr. Dehner, Gary Mitchell, Riley, Adm. Decker, Marlena Moreau, Dr. Daystrom,


Kahn, Harry Mudd, Mudd's Women, Alice Android, Roger Corby, Ruk, Andrea, Marta, Gem, Shanna, Tamoon, Galt, Lars, Norman, Surak, Lincoln, Col. Green, Gary 7, Roberta Lincoln, Sarek, Romulan Commander (Mark Leonard), Romulan Commander female, Gav, Thelev, Shras, Elaan.

Mirror Universe crew.

That should be a good 5 year mission.

CCC.

I would love to see a retro line based on classic movies--Errol Flynn and company in Adventures of Robin Hood, Rathbone & Bruce as Holmes & Watson, (perhaps more of) the old Universal horror films, John Wayne, Tyrone Power from Mark of Zorro, etc.

Last I heard Hasbro had that Trek license for small figures, but obviously nothing came of that. I still want to complete my Playmates Bridge.

Wild Wild West, Kung Fu, Blake's 7, Hero High (cartoon from Filmation)

I think it would be cool if Zica did a line for Pacific Rim of 3 3/4" pilots and Shogun Warrior type robots and monsters. That would be tackling two retro style toys with one line! I would also really love to see an extensive line of 3 3/4" X-Files, Star Trek, etc. I recently ask Diamond Select Toys about 3 3/4" Star Trek figures and they expressed no interest so hopefully that license will be open for a company with more foresight and imagination. "Hint, wink Zica? Bif Bang Pow?"
