Some really cool news for us horror fans, and bit of info. on LOTR, Kill Bill, Ghostbusters etc.

The best part for me though, was Randy saying that some company is working on figures from THE WARRIORS! Oh shit, I have been clamoring for figures from that film for YEARS! I just hope it is a decent company making them! SOTA maybe?

[Peter Peeker]

good read.
Warriors would be killer!

maybe now that NECA explained how some of the indusrty works the mega-fanboys will finally understand.


its a good read, but for some reason the battering of random 'will u do this movie!!!' questions makes me laugh.

[Cemetery Can]

12 figures for Sin City, that's cool. I wonder who's doing the Warriors?


And I think that's the first time I've ever heard anyone ask for "Sleepaway Camp" figures before. Talk about a snowball's chance [img]smile.gif[/img]

"TaddSays: With the popularity of the recent Myers/Loomis Halloween set, are there any plans to release a Laurie Strode or age 6 Michael action figure?

RandyF: There are more plans for Halloween..."

Good read. I've always like Randy. Despite what the fanboys on both sides would have you believe, there's really no animosity between the companies. I just wish Neca would start a damn message board! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yeah, I heard quite a ways back, that MTV were going to do a remake of The Warriors. This would be a God awful thing. For one, I don't care who writes it, directs it, stars in it, The Warriors is a film that just can not be made in this day and age, and hold the appeal of the original. For two, they would probably do a modern gang version of it, with a bunch of hip hop dudes playing the roles. Yikes! Every movie MTV does is complete shit. So, no thanks.

I have very high doubts any company would take the chance at making figures for a Warriors remake, when the original has a big cult following. So, I am sure what he is talking about, is figures from the original masterpiece.

Dion, no doubt man! There is room for all of you all! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

MM4, I am VERY excited about a "sack head" Jason. That is the only version of Jason I ever thought was really creepy!

Also, it is GREAT to hear they have more plans for Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Maybe I will FINALLY get the Hitchhiker from the original film, or my dream box set of the dinner scene!!!
