Actually, I have a very rare set of 25mm Knight Sabres from Bubblegum Crisis I never painted. Inu Yasha figures would be neat though. For Macross [RoboTech to you gaijin] you could probly alter some old Mekton figures.

I\'d like to see a line of fantasy civilians - of all races, sexes, and ages.
Now, I know Reaper has, like, 3 blisters of them - but I\'d like to see a whole series.
Like, kids playing, a smoking dwarf, a girl carrying jugs of water, an old granny, a mother feeding her baby, an elven passerby... and I wouldn\'t want to see a single weapon upon these figs!

like deadlands minis maybe based of broms arts or something a bit different? i was wondering why deadland minis never came out in a game. whole universe full of character art specially based off the cards. they could make a inquisitor type game with small or bigger 45-70mm minis based off deadlands and include cards with stats like confrontation.

more of my wish list is:

•masamune shirow full games based in the ghost in the shell/appleseed world and also random minis from any character he makes.

it would be cool to see a huge fantasy art line in the 45\\70mm range from tons of fantasy artists - bisley-frazetta-royo-boris-etc etc

video games - bloody roar great animal minis - metal gear solid minis and game - zelda - final fantasy, soul caliber etc

comics and anime\'s - pitt, tellos, defcon 4, team 7, punisher, groo, golgo 13, postal, aeon flux, deathblow, slaine, blade of the immortal, body bags, tarzan, the professional, conan, mad max, eve protomecha, hellboy, animal mystic, metal slug, ninja turtles, dan beretons nocturnals comic, and maybe acompanying games with certain ones like evangelion

•battle star galactica - loved that series and the cool space struggle

• a ww2 vehicle city fighting game a bit bigger than epic scale that really focuses on vehicles and not tons of guys.

• tons of comic book properties. tons of teams and characters specially from new companies like dreamwave etc.

movies: maybe just a few nicely done characters form the movies. it would add some great variety to minis and not be as meaningless as just a cowboy or just a soldier or just a suit if the characters were done well enough. 45mm if possible, better detail.

austin powers trilogy
waynes world 1&2
clint eastwood in many cowboy movies and dirty harry callahan of course.
Saving private ryan
Pulp fiction
matrix all of em and a game
top gun
ghost busters - maybe a game
adams family and adams family values - a cool gothic set you buy for display
braveheart
last of the mohicans
indiana jones trilogy - possibly a exploration dungen nazi fighting game
conan 1st one
mall rats
willow
prince valiant
men in black
batman - maybe a game
mad max movies - would be cool to get a scale car too
full metal jacket - specially the gunny\"
Blade runner - a few decent minis specially of fara
patton - gotta have the man
hard boiled - and several other foriegn film action stars
blade already have need to recompress on to one cd
die hard the first one - gotta have willis with the shredded tank top or at least a yippe kay yaa with a sculpted fire line in the snow
tommy boy - chris farley in a mini would be freaky!
james bond - a few like the outrageous villians and connery of course
sleepy hollow - beuatifull imagery specially with the tree
bruce lee
steven seagal
god father
beverly hills cop 1
earnest goes to camp - with that timeless expression
something about mary - a mini of her with her hair would be scary
predator - they made em and de aint bad. would be nice to have the spec ops team too
dumb and dumber
the princess bride - with plenty of russ\'s and wuss\'s!

anime: - maybe a bit better suited for minis but harder to sculpt without getting a liscense.

zeiram aria
new samauri showdown - great characters like many fighting games
princess mononoke - a wierd but nice set of minis would do
samurai x
fist of the north star - can u say mass wounds
street fighter alpha
Golgo 13-queen bee
lodoss war!
genocyber - thats a kick ass mech
Vampire Hunter D - everyones fav
berserk - band of the hawks and maybe some demons and a few bigger enemies - could even be a game
armitage 3 - a few cool main characters
ninja scroll - hell yess and with the new telly show twice as many freaks!
battle angel alita - everybodys fav little spunky fighter
trigun - cmon! its chrispys avatar for gods sake! not to mention tons of way cool characters and enemies
akira - oh hell yes. and some nice dioramas also with motorcycles and city backgrounds etc
metropolis - this was a VERY characterfull anime to say the least.


and many many many more............... dont get me started on tv......

Armors and weapons...

D&D 3rd edition Arms and Equipment guide has some interesting armors that I would love to paint. Bark, Moon-ivy, Shell, Coral, Stone (dwarven), and more ring mail, and Brigandine. As for weapons most manufactures run the gauntlet (no pun intended) lol , but I too would like to see more weapons kits, chakrams, double scimitar, Doum, and claw bracers. Just some ideas. Oh, and some more female dwarves. Not that I\'ve had anyone play them but without them you\'d think that dwarves simply spring from the rocks.:flip::bouncy::flip:

I am not sure it was a good test, because other than being Chrispy\'s icon, I haven\'t got the faintest clue.

Probably because loads of good stuff never gets released in this third world country called the UK:(

How about:

Anime catgirls - especially characters from Hyper police.

Dragonhalf characters, including Mink, Mappie, Rosario, Damaramu, Princess Vina and of course Dick Saucer stuck on the toilet during the brutal killer martial arts contest...

Characters from Digicharat, Tenchi Muyo (especially Ryo Ohki), Neon Genesis Evangellion, Excel Saga, Azumanga etc...

Oh and there should be a mini of Stitch too:bouncy::flip::bouncy::flip:

And while we\'re at it, Lion king minis would be cool to :D:D:D

Regards

How about......

Asterix figures? They\'d be fun to paint and I\'d also like to see figures from:

Nightmare Before Christmas
Ghost in the Shell
Samurai Jack
Dune
Final Fantasy - Spirits Within (film)
Shrek - childish I know, but fun to paint!

and probably loads more I could think of given some time :)

Lead ROCKS!

I have an Ork rock band. One looks a bit like Slash with a top hat - I think there are a couple of guitarists and a \'singer\'. Quite a funny group :D

Nice to know....

Cool! I didn\'t know they were collectible - just something else I bought \'cos I thought they were cool :D

I\'ll dig them out and post a pic on my website. I\'ve been thinking about having a gallery for old models - just the classic ones or my own personal favourites.

Don\'t give up the day job...

The Gofff Rockers are quite rare. they only turn up on eBay on odd occasions and rarely as a set. For some strange reason, one of them, don\'t ask me which one, is rarer than the others but definitely worth hanging on to. You wont get rich, but...:D

I remember the GOFF rockers...

Weren\'t they made by Citadel (or gw)?

I wanted those little guys when I first saw them, but I never got around to getting them.

Anybody know of a site I can see a photo of them?
