No interest in the NBA line but if they do the NFL I'll be licking my chops. Bring it on.

Well..
They're not focusing too much on the NBA, because they haven't made Charles Barkley, Karl Malone or Magic Johnson yet.

I think the sure to be absolute failure of sales of things like Blake Griffin and Jeremy Lin (the guys not even the 4th best player on his team...) will make them reconsider this line. If they stuck to the real legends, Magic, Bird, Pippen, etc, while only focusing on the likes of Kobe, LBJ, or Duncan of the modern era, even if it were multiple figures of Kobe given his asian popularity, they'd have a stronger business plan.
but having said all of that, yes, they are too focused on this AND 1/4 scale stuff. Man do I miss the days of Scarface and Leon..

^ Chili Peppers fan has to at least suggest Magic Johnson as a candidate.
Great song too.

It's great they're doing this! Since I have zero interest in this, my wallet is happy!
I'd like the line split to:
NBA Superstars - LBJ, Durant, Rose etc
NBA Legends - MJ, Magic, Rodman, Barkley etc
NBA Superstars - LBJ, Durant, Rose etc
NBA Legends - MJ, Magic, Rodman, Barkley etc

agreed. it's only a matter of time until a company picks that up. with how well the NBA line is doing, i'm pretty sure it'll happen sooner or later.

This here. I had to look them up because I didn't know who they were and why a figure was being made for them.

Lol surely this is subjective? Surely Neca are concentrating too much on movie lines then? I want figures based on Coronation Street damn it!
It's great that Enterbay are broadening their horizons, both for the company and the fans.
My main complaint is when they announce upcoming projects, only to leave fans in the dark for well over a year. For example the 1:4 Robocop, Endoskeleton, Rocky...all yet to materialise.
You don't see them doing that with the NBA line, cranking them out like clockwork. The Facebook page since the start of the year has been essentially all NBA related.
I'm glad the NBA fans are getting what they want, I just don't dig Enterbay's marketing. They should at least hold off until a prototype is ready to be shown before making announcements that they fail to follow up on.
I'm over it anyway, the SSC Snake Plissken announcement dragged me out of my funk.

Of course, point?
I remembered buying different series of McFarlene Spawn figures every other month until they jumped on NFL and NBA figures. Todd McFarlene was caught up with the sport figures that he eventually stopped making the comic figures. I hope Enterbay doesn't go this route.
The point is 1/4 cost more & takes more time to develop, while it's faster & cheaper to develop 1/6 & factories & companies have more experience with 1/6.
Kamen Rider is coming soon, so it's not like they totally ditched the 1/4 lines.

Right on. Do a Stockton and Malone 2-pack, and it will sell like hot cakes. HOT CAKES, I TELLS YA!!!
That's a fair point!
I'm not going to moan about it anymore, especially as there's plenty other companies out there to cover most interests.
