First Crystar, then ROM... Who's next?

The recent "Godzilla vs." one-shots have given me a tremendous desire for an ML-scale Godzilla. I'd be over the moon for the Herb Trimpe design of my youth, but I'd also be very happy with the Heisei-ish version stomping around currently.

I've passed on previous HasLabs for concerns of cost & space, I'd gleefully abandon such rationale & reason were the Big G produced.

I bought this Mezco 1:12 Godzilla when it went on sale for 30% off at BBTS several months ago. I love it! It's still not anywhere near as big as the HasLab Galactus, Sentinel or even Giant-Man but was something I really wanted for my collection. I believe he's 18" tall and 30" long (BIG long tail). I had been thinking about it for a couple of years at $450, but pulled the trigger when it went on sale.

McFarlane is going to be putting out a pair of Godzilla pack-ins for DC Multiverse as mega-figures soon, but they're going to be way too small. Even the Mezco 1:12 is too small but the best I've found. I had been hoping they'd put out a cheap giant roto version for the last movie but it didn't happen.
 
I REALLY hope we get some Micronauts in this line. I loved the comic as a kid, and thought the comic designs were WAY cooler than their toy counterparts. I've literally been wishing for figure representations of these characters in these looks ever since then.

I know Hasbro is unlikely to go deep, and I don't expect characters like Biotron or Microtron to show up, but I can see them spreading out some of the characters over several waves. Maybe they could sneak one in per wave for a bit, rotating between the Marvel-owned and Hasbro-owned characters? Just a thought. Something like one wave gets Bug, the next gets Karza, the following gets Rann, then Acroyear, etc.

At the VERY least, I want to see Bug, Marionette, Rann, Acroyear, and Karza. If we could also get characters like Huntaar, Devil, Prince Pharoid, Shaitan, etc it would just be gravy!

I'd love to see a good James Bond line of figures.

Now that NECA's taken care of definitive Universal & Hammer horror figures, Bond is ABSOLUTELY my white whale license.

The recent Indy figures (another "grail" license) made me feel like 6" Bond could be handled really really well.

Waves consisting roughly of: Bond, Bond girl, villain, ally, henchman, with a buildable large accessory/ small vehicle (Little Nellie, a jet ski, a delicatessen in stainless steel).

Retailer exclusives for alt costumes, characters from movies that can't support waves, army builder two-packs ...

At an SDCC back in the early 80's, Marvel EIC Jim Shooter was on a panel discussing potential crossovers. At one point he mentioned "Care Bears From Hell vs Muppet Babies From Mars." That got a pretty good laugh.
 
I was being facetious with Kiss. i really have no interest in figures. They were part of the Marvel Universe for a very short time in the late 70's but nothing noteworthy ever happened. They had a memorable cameo in an issue of Howard The Duck that made me chuckle a little bit, but that was really it.

Off topic, but if we ever get anything from Howard's corner of the Marvel Universe, it's got to be Howard himself and Doctor Bong.

(And maybe the Master of Quack Fu)
 
I wouldn't mind KISS figures. Do people hate KISS that much? They're definitely way too high and mighty, but I thought that was part of the schtick.
