Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Which video game licenses would you be interested in?
I'm not entirely sure if there's a thread like this floating around on the forums but if so, it's not getting much exposure. No real reason for this, other than entertainment value, and to see the different perspectives of other members.
That said, I'd like to hear your opinions! While video games are certainly not lacking in the statue department, I would say that representation has been limited. First4Figures, Gaming Heads, PCS, Koto, Sideshow, Macfarlane, etc. have done a good job in covering a wide margin of gaming but a fair few of popular franchises and titles have yet to be realized.
So, licensing and restrictions aside, what would you like to see? Which company/sculptor would you like to see tackle it?
I can tell you right now, I'm itching for someone to acquire the rights to produce The Last of Us statues above all else.
Off the top of my head, a few others I can think of are:
- Dishonored
- Bioshock
- Soul Calibur
- F-Zero
Great franchises/titles (in my opinion, of course) with the type of atmosphere, style and character design/variation that would lend itself naturally to this form of medium.
Feel free to post pictures as well! I'll be updating this post with mine when I have the appropriate spare time to do so.

Metal Gear Solid by either Gentle Giant, Kotobukiya or Sideshow.
If Sideshow can deliver a Solid Snake anywhere near as good as Nathan Drake, then it has to be SS.

Legacy of Kain.
A decent 1/4 scale statue of Dante and Virgil from DMC.
1/4 scale Raiden from MGS Reveangence.
A decent 1/4 scale statue of Ryu Hayabusa
Castlevania LOS
Gaming heads seems to be a good company to take this on.

Streets of Rage
It'd have to be 1:6 scale action poses. Like what PrototypeZ is doing with Street Fighter only not kits. Any scale larger and the facial likeness is going to play in your head because there's not a lot of resource material to go by.

King of Fighters/Samurai Shodown/Art of Fighting/Fatal Fury - Anything SNK basically.
A decent consistent Resident Evil Line.
Metal Gear Solid - I think it's insane that there isn't anything MGS done in statue form, a PF Snake from MGS3 with a jungle base, would be amazing.
Devil May Cry.
Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver.
Dragon Age.

I don't like HCG, their stuff always comes across as mediocre to me.

I'd like to see Yamato tackle the Mass Effect characters, SS has proven they can't do it justice.
I'd like to see either Yamato or GG produce stuff from these:
Dragon Age
Deus Ex
Syndicate (latest version)
The Witcher
