I want Guts, not "hero guy with armor" that JND or any other company would come up with.
If I was a fan of this movie, then yes, I would buy this if the result looks exceptional. If it was just some original stuff they came up with? No.

There is a world of figure art outside of what you know - where people pay even more than $2K - $3K for an original figure....by original, I mean, not a derivative piece from an existing I.P.
But I can understand your point as well - simply put, there's a whole market of people who want derivative figures - my point, was not that this practice should stop - but that it would be interesting if there were companies that could find the scope to continue to serve that side of the market - while showcasing their own creative and original concepts.
For the record, JND are doing exactly this for the 1/6 scale product lines - and by all acounts, seem to be doing relatively well in both the derivatives and orginal concept market - so, it's possible.....risky, maybe, but possible.
