Sticking with the horror theme,
some time / posts ago I suggested (among others) Nosferatu. It appears SideShow are already there:

The Coming of Nosferatu
http://www.sideshowtoy.com/collectib...statue-902869/

I'm not too sold on the face, although everything else looks great. Nice base to boot


I wish PCS would consider dropping the wooden looking round / oval bases and stick to this kind of thing

If you can acquire the licenses, how about the werewolf from Bad Moon?

Don't think the Blizzard games have that either? I don't play those.

This license must be character-centric, for the numbers Jerry is mentioning. More like Transformers, less like LOTR. One of those was created with the intention of selling character variants, while the other happened to have cool characters, that people might want to buy.
There is still a market for LOTR/Hobbit, just look at Weta. Their stuff is too small for me though, I like the larger pieces. SS bailed on their PF and Maquette lines too soon and never even used the Hobbit license. All of the SS PFs were 1K plus ES or more and most sold out quickly. I still dream of a 1/4 Balrog to match the PFs.

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.

Just fyi, we were having a mini-discussion about guessing the license that Jerry was teasing. My comments were directed towards that.

He said it was a (relatively) untapped license, though. One that one would not readily associate to this kind of merchandising. I don't think LOTR fits the bill.

"Its not something i have ever mentioned as for whatever reason, even though its a huge love of mine, i never thought about it for collectibles. probably because no one is doing anything with it right now and truthfully there has hardly been anything done with it ever as far as collectibles."

Plenty of LOTR stuff has been done. It's not LOTR.

Oh? Your previous post seemed to imply you were talking about LOTR.

Stingray quoted my old post - but I was saying that LOTR was not likely the license that Jerry was hinting about.

Oh, I see now. Reading only post 875 today gave me that false impression.
