Damn, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the news. I kid you not, just yesterday I was thinking, 'You know what, maybe Hasbro will get the license to do the movie figures next year, they got the Street Fighter license for the movie, it would be possible!'. But I thought, 'Nah, Nintendo don't do this type of things, they would never allow it' yet here we are.
And I think it's pretty obvious what they're showing next week. What basically every Zelda fan who collects toys would want. Ocarina of Time figures. They're showing 3 6" figures at SDCC. Link, Zelda and Ganondorf. It's not figures from the movie, since that hasn't really been revealed yet, and I don't think Nintendo's showing it off at SDCC (although it could be possible of course). I don't think it's something like Twilight Princess, not relevant enough, or the OoT remake, since they haven't shown anything yet (and probably will not show anything soon, since they just had their Nintendo Direct). No, I think these will be based on the classic game, maybe with the 3DS remake visuals or based on the concept art. They did the same thing with their Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones lines, making the first wave based on the classic movies and then doing a wave of the new. That's my hope for their Harry Potter line too.
Man I'm pretty excited here. I know it's Hasbro, I know what it could end up being, but they gotta know what people want, don't they? Their latest articulation, no ab crunches, a good number of accessories, no freaking exclusives. This is Zelda, its gaming royalty for goodness sake, and no one has done a good job with it for some reason. Maybe Hasbro will do it, or at least do it better than what figma or Jakks ever did.
