Wondering what lines you folks would like to see. Personally, I would love for Facepool or another company that gives us off the beaten path figures to tackle,

Platoon
Tears of the Sun
Navy Seals (the end mission look)
Masters of the Air
Black Hawk Down
Heartbreak Ridge
Red Dawn

and.......Tropic Thunder...
 
Band of Brothers. There’s only two, and one hasn’t released yet. I don’t care who it is, but someone needs to get a deep dive done on that line.

Also Black Hawk Down, definitely need a good bunch of those guys done as well.
 
The choices are all over the place. We need a company to dedicate themselves to one film and get a few soldiers out, like DiD did recently with Saving Private Ryan.

I would kill to see them or Damtoys do Black Hawk Down again.

Or Zero Dark Thirty and 13 Hours.

I like to see the major brands doing re-runs of their accumulated weapons molds and release carded weapons sets.

For example, I get why DAM would not want to release weapons sets from stuff that came out in the past 2 years. However older stuff, since the R&D has already been invested, just re-run them and sell them.

I can't speak for anyone else, I wouldn't have a problem paying 100 dollars for a good robust weapons set, where it looks like you get 6-8 great coveted guns. So for example, from DAM, the PKP machine gun, the RPK, the Street Sweeper shotgun, the MAT49, etc, etc. Maybe they need to do some paint changes to differentiate them from the boxed set releases, but it's something I'd like to see done.

Aside from that, I'd like to see some kind of "budget line" return. A 100 dollar baseline with a headsculpt ( no body type inside), plain packaging ( white box with a sticker over the front), and some interesting gear. Reduce some of the quality and functionality, but build it around interesting concepts. Maybe more Adventure Team/Explorer kind of theme.

But obviously that's not as marketable and/or profitable, since it would have been done already otherwise.

I am more interested in non-American historical lines like Persian, Sumerian, Babylonian. Also South American like Mayan, Inca; so many other amazing indigenous tribal designs
 
I mean, I did mention Persian military upthread, but this isn't really what I was hoping for. Not bad per se, it's just that dudes on camels are not really my cup of tea
