Buffy - no viable character - blame the license, not SSC.
Will there ever be a Lando Calrissian? Hawkman or a James Rhodes from Iron man? Maybe a WWII Tuskegee Pilot? I love SideShow but wonder why there is such a small offering on people of color.
At least there are a few African-American figs,what about Mexicans? No love at all!![]()

What a bull^^^^ comment.
First off calling Muhammad Ali the greatest and most inspirational sportsman of all time is pure opinion. That differs widely depending on who you are speaking with.
Second, I'm not sure if you're referring to just high end 1/6 figures but Muhammad Ali had a Mego figure back in the 1970s and has been done multiple times by companies like NECA, McFarlane, Upper Deck, Starting Lineup, Vinyl Legends not to mention that he is almost always followed by a Cassius Clay figure.
Third, name one line that Hot Toys, EnterBay, Sideshow, MediCom or any other high end 1/6 company that does film licenses that has a sports line. Fans have been requesting it from SSC at least for a few years now and I'm sure others have of the other companies but it hasn't happened. Why? Studies show that Sports Collectors are fickle, and will buy things mostly on impulse or due to sentimental reasons over following a line like we do. Master Replicas almost did a line of replicas of famous sports stadiums until focus groups showed that collectors wouldn't pay the prices.
If there ever is a sport line done in modern times I guarantee you that Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and many others will be the first line ups you go and those are "figures of color".
You can find any issue if you look hard enough.
