Don't suppose you could elaborate there? Never, ever is pretty definitive :/

I sort of assumed though, if it were possible it would've happened for the 30th Anniversary. Shame.

Mattel owns the rights to Ghostbusters action figures of any size, and they're never going to give up those rights.

Munsters is 72%, Addams Family is 26%.

I know it's a bit early, but how has ReAction been selling?

Aww, that news made me glad and sad at the same time. That's good news for the Munsters...but boo on Addams Family!

Maybe there's licensing problems
There's like no toys whatsoever for Addams Family
I've only been able to find one line of action figures for the 1992 animated show

Why do the Universal Monsters and Modern Horror figures not have peg holes in their feet? It is pretty disappointing. GREAT figures though!

We switched factories for those figures and they missed that detail. All figures will have holes going forward, though.

Are we going to get a Brett, Parker and Lambert? I love the second series of Alien figures, (especially that metallic alien) but a lot of people want more crew.

Postby **Funko Pop! Fan16** » Sat Sep 13, 2014 6:45 pm

Love the look of these, hoping to purcahse some this coming week!
Glad to hear they are selling well, I need to jump on the bandwagon!

What are chances of Chucky and Bride Reaction, was very upset when they wasn't shown. Will Mezco not give up the rights?

Postby **1000thghost** » Sun Sep 14, 2014 10:58 pm

I would love to maybe see some British shows done.

There is no way to get Doctor Who, but what about:

Red Dwarf
Monty Python
Blakes 7
Space 1999
Thunderbirds
Blackadder
James Bond
Danger Mouse / Count Duckula

Postby **1000thghost** » Sun Sep 14, 2014 11:01 pm

Also how about a Classic Comedies line? Three Stooges, Abbot and Costello, Lucy, Laurel and Hardy well maybe not...but I would buy them!

Postby **MadLove** » Sun Sep 14, 2014 11:01 pm

Got the Horror series in at work and LOVE them! We also got the chase Creature from the Black Lagoon! I was wondering if you could tell us what figures have chase pieces so far and what the ratio is on those. Thanks! I can't wait to bring them home!

Where do you work? I haven't seen these in stores yet and I would love to get some.

We are definitely noticing all the requests for the rest of huge crew members!

I'm not sure if we have the rights for Chucky in action figure form. But we're already thinking about a horror series 2 and he's on the wishlist for that. Bride is a little more up in the air, but we can look into it.

We've kicked around the idea for James Bond, and I have personally tried to pitch Monty Python and the Holy grail figures, but nothing is in the works yet. The other ones may be a harder sell. Oh! But I'd LOVE Danger Mouse and Duckula figures! Probably won't happen, though.

Those all sound awesome, and I'd love Abbot and Costello figures to go with my Universal Monsters figures, but I just think all of these are too old and probably wouldn't sell enough to justify production, sadly.

The only chase figures so far are the glow Mummy and Creature, and the Spike figure from the Buffy line will have a normal face chase figure (regular release has an angry vampire face). The chrome T800 from Terminator was supposed to be a chase piece, but the factory produced an equal amount, so there's that. I'm not exactly sure on how the ratios break down. That's out of my wheelhouse.

Is the Rocky Horror Picture Show being made into Reaction figures? Thought I heard that somewhere but wasn't entirely sure.
If so, who all do you have planned?

Thanks Reis for answering all of the questions!

I cannot confirm nor deny that Rocky Horror ReAction figures are being made.

Postby **Shiftyhenry37** » Mon Sep 15, 2014 11:05 pm

Gotta thank you Reis, You're offering the fans a forum to get real questions answered, and quickly! it's rare and appreciated!

That said, I have three!

Can you address The X-Files? You have the license...I've heard Legacy, then no Legacy...but nothing on ReAction...

Any idea if Spaceballs would fly? I can't imagine that it never came up...but something tells me Lucas would kibosh that one.

Finally, any other licenses that you can think of that you possesses already but are off limits for ReAction, that we might ASSUME would be coming, such as Ghostbusters? Just want to try and manage expectations.

I was at HT yesterday and they had Reaction "Crow" and Firefly Malcolm and some others but I was just interested in the Crow.

I love The Dark Crystal and would love figures from this film! What about Labyrinth any thing planned for Labyrinth, Legacy or ReAction? I would die for Labyrinth Legacy figures!!!

The license for Dark Crystal has turned out to be a bit tricky. I'm still hopeful, but it may not happen.

No, we don't have anything planned for Labrynth at this time. Good one, though!

My pleasure!

We do have the X-Files license for ReAction, but nothing rolling yet.

Part of the deal made back in the day between Lucas and Mel Brooks was that Brooks had to agree to never allow toys made for Spaceballs. So that will never, ever, ever happen.

Mattel owns the action figure rights to Ghostbusters, and they're never going to give that up.

Postby **Shiftyhenry37** » Tue Sep 16, 2014 3:50 pm

Thanks for the reply! I know about GB, any other licenses that you have that are in a similar situation? Like SW and Marvel/DC would be obvious ones....but say, Rocky would be a surprise. Does that make sense?

I got ya. Other than the obvious biggies, there's no real major blocks. Maybe Blade Runner, since no one can seem to figure out who owns the rights, therefore no product can be made. And there's been a couple of licensors who just don't get it, so they said no, even though their license would be perfect for ReAction. I can't throw them under the bus by naming them, but trust me, they're out there.

Postby **1000thghost** » Tue Sep 16, 2014 4:40 pm

This is a long way off, May of next year in fact, but any chance you guys would come to the Denver Comic Con and maybe do a couple exclusives for us? I know we are a new Con and a little small (85,000 last year) but I think we would be a great spot to launch a new series or just a couple POP!'s or ReAction pieces.

Postby **Jeff Cope** » Tue Sep 16, 2014 5:03 pm

Reis, one that's on a lot of wish lists and at the top of mine is classic Planet of the Apes. I know NECA has their 7" figures out there right now, and they're awesome. But, I want 3-3/4" Apes. What are the chances?

Postby **bgiles73** » Tue Sep 16, 2014 11:49 pm

Count me as one of the ones that are very, very, very interested in The Dark Crystal. This line if the difficulty is getting the owner of the original prototypes to sign off, I'd prefer Funko to go back and design these from scratch. The originals have their charm, but I'd prefer a whole new screen accurate take! The 12" Sideshow dolls that I missed out on were awesome and so was NECA's Chamberlain! What has always been painfully absent from my collection is 3 3/4 Gelflings, Skeksis and Mystics. I want a figure of Augra and some Garthim. I gotta have Urskecs,Pod People, LandStriders and Crystal bats! I really, really love that awesome world that was introduced in that great fantasy movie!

Postby **Jeff Cope** » Wed Sep 17, 2014 12:15 am

Yup. What he said.

Postby **TCM Hitchhiker** » Wed Sep 17, 2014 1:01 am

I will be one majorly happy monkey, once Reis confirms they are making Planet of the Apes, because that is going to happen, right Reis?

Loads of properties I would love to see tackled in this style, but none even come close to Planet of the Apes!

Is there a chance we'll still see Dutch's team from Predator at some point? I can't be the only kid who's wanted them since 1987. If not, any insight into why? The Spaceballs answer was interesting.

Also put me down as another really wanting Dark Crystal toys; but would love Labrynth even more-so.

That's not really my territory. I don't see us having a booth there (we only do San Diego), but exclusives are not out of the question. Somebody from the con would have to contact one our members of the sales team. Sorry that wasn't much help.
