As strange and offbeat as this comes off initially this really isn't a bad idea, depending on what kinda figures you have/want. I could see some people buying Rottweilers for the Joker, or some German Shepherds for a German soldier or policeman bash etc. If the price is right i might buy an English Bulldog just for fun if they ever made one.
English bulldog and brindle Great Dane, silver Miniature Schnauzer would be my only wants. Not to go with figures but just to have for the pooches I've had/have.
