Anchorman build-a-figure! Somehow that's the funniest thing of all!!

I'm shitty with names in that flick, but Baxter (or a resculpt) should come in a bear enclosure diorama complete with bears. Another set of Jack Black and Baxter on the Coronado Bridge would be awesome, but too big to actually produce.

The opposing anchors in the rumble (again, shitty with names--Steve Carrell was one) should be in a Battlepack-styled set. Because anyone who wants one would want them all.

As long as it has the phone booth.

You know what I'd like to see? Marvel Legends/DC Superheroes style action figures based on the Batman films. I know that Mattel is doing 6 inch articulated "Dark Knight" figures under a Movie Masters line. I hope they don't stop at "The Dark Knight" and tackle some of the other Batman movie characters that haven't been given justice. Or at least the Burton films and "Batman Begins". But this actually has a chance of happening, should Mattel decide to expand that line. I'd like to see...

Batman (Batman 1989)
Joker (Batman 1989)
Batman (Batman Returns)
Catwoman (Batman Returns)
Penguin (Batman Returns)
Max Schreck (Batman Returns) BECAUSE IT'S CHRISTOPHER FUCKING WALKEN
Ra's Al Ghul (Batman Begins)
Scarecrow (Batman Begins)

And fuck it, let's throw in some 1966 Batman figures in the mix as well. Batman, Robin, Joker, Catwoman, Riddler, Penguin and a shark.

The Riddler and Two-Face, as well. No, I am not kidding.

If I was kidding, I would have included Mr. Freeze and Batgirl, which I didn't.

This just reminds me: given how fucking awesome an actor Tommy Lee Jones is, and what a fucking badass evil sonofabitch Two-Face is, it makes it even more tragic that both were wasted in Batman Forever.

For what it's worth, I thought Two-Face in "Batman Forever" was alright up until The Riddler showed up and made him his bitch. Two-Face playing second banana to the Riddler was inexcusable.

He was an over-the-top idiot. He would've been good on the 60s show. Two-Face is fucking vicious. That guy was a silly bank robber.

Batman Forever's Two-face was Joker 2.0.

Fixed.

Yeah both were I suppose.

I always thought that, in some ways, Jim Carey played a better Joker than Nicholson did. While I like Nicholson, he had the same problem Romero had--only focusing on one aspect of the Joker's "psychotic clown" personality. (Romero was all clown, Nicholson was almost all psychotic.) Mark Hamill has been, so far, the only actor to nail the role (though I suspect Ledger will probably get it, or damned close to it).

I'd love to see a line (or lines) of figures in the Galactic Heroes/Superhero Squad style for movies/tv shows that either aren't for kids or could never happen (because of licensing or interest issues).

Ones that only need a couple of figures (1 wave at most):
Pulp Fiction - Sam Jackson and John Travolta (maybe more)
X-Files - Mulder and Scully (CSM, Dogget, Skinner, and creatures)
Black Snake Moan - Sam Jackson and Christina Ricci
Hellboy - HB, Abe, Liz
Tommy Boy - Farley and Spade
Happy Gilmore - Happy and Chubbs/Shooter
Bourne Series- Just Jason Bourne
007 - Bond (Daniel Craig version packed with Bourne in a vs. pack?)
The Fugitive - Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones
Garden State - Sam and Large
Ghost World - Rebbecca and Enid
Jay & Silent Bob
Juno - Juno and Bleaker
Leon - Leon and Mathilda
Die Hard - John Fucking McClane
My Name is Earl - Earl, Randy, Joy, Darnell, and Catalina
The Rocketeer - The Rocketeer and Jennifer Connelly
Semi-Pro - Jackie Moon, Monix, 'Coffee' Black, and a bear
Starship Troopers - 4-5 main cast with bugs
Superbad - Seth, Evan, McLovin', and the cops
Unbreakable - Sam Jackson and Bruce Willis
V for Vendetta - V and Evey

And some that should have their own line:
300 - Various 2 packs
Back to the Future - numerous two-packs
Firefly/Serenity - Mal, Zoe, Wash, Jayne, Kaylee, Simon, River, Book, Inara and a few Reavers.
Ghostbusters - At least the 4 main GBs each with a ghost
The Office - The main stars packed with a smaller office worker.
Oz - main cast (without the prison rape)
Pirates of the Caribbean - Main cast, cursed Pearl pirates (alive and dead), Davy Jones and crew, ect.
Scrubs - JD, Turk, Elliot, Carla, Cox, Kelso, Janitor, Ted, Todd, Laverne, Jordan, and Doug
Shaun of the Dead - Main cast with a zombie
Sin City - So many possibilities
Veronica Mars - Veronica, Logan, Duncan, Keith, Wallace, Weevil, Dick, Cassady, Sheriff Lamb, Mac, Aaron, Lilly

I'd like to see Arrested Development and Deadwood figures, along with proper Mystery Men figures.

what, no super troopers?

I thought of that, but many of 'em would look the same.
