RAH Freddie Mercury

[Darklord Dave]

You know Dave, sometimes I worry about you.

Besides, I don't see how Mick Jagger or Johnny Rotten are any less compelling a 1:6 portrait than Syd Barrett or Roger Waters.

I buy Tonner dolls and listen to Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and I'm a MAN, baby!

It's the costumes there are more compelling for Rotten and Jagger and Mercury over the t-shirts and jeans of the other guys. Even Bono with his US Flag lined leather jacket would be an interesting figure. It's more the distinctive look than the distinctive sound that's important.

Portrait, no, but clothing? When I saw Roger in concert all he wore was a black suit over a black t-shirt.

At least Jagger had the funky jumpsuit and Rotten has the leather.

A Barrett might be cool if he had a puffy silk shirt or something, but Roger even in the 70s was a bore as far as attire.

Takes a man to admit that sort of thing

 

[galactiboy]

Seriously, Dave must ooze comfort with his sexuality

And I agree with you that the figures are probably selected more on the signature look of the clothes than just fame or influence. Even though its very un-punk to have a $150 figure of Sid Vicous... I still figure one day I'll have to break down and buy one

Although I'd love to see a Joey Ramone

 

[pixletwin]

I would love a 1:6 Nirvana dressed like the Heart Shaped Box video.. There is a lot potential with accessories too. (not trying to reawaken the worthiness issue).

 

[galactiboy]

I think it'd be hard to say Nirvana isn't worthy. Sure they are newer, but almost 20 years since Bleach was released and they still have a huge fanbase would make be think they'll be one for the ages.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I'm not a big 80s hair band fan by any means, but some of those guys would make interesting figures. Def Leopard, David Lee Roth, Poison, etc. Medicom figures already naturally look girly.

I'd love a Bruce Dickinson figure circa Powerslave era.

 

[Batty]

While I wouldn't want figures of Frankie Goes To Hollywood, I think Welcome to the Pleasuredome is a great album.

Tonner dolls on the other hand...

 

[Darklord Dave]

Nirvana or specifically, Cobain, wouldn't really be very interesting as a figure. Courtney Love on the other hand...

Trudat. A lot of the grunge-era bands would translate well to RAH figures. Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Mudhoney, and Soundgarden would be cool.

...So would Jane's Addiction.

 

[Collector Freak]

Alice In Chains

I think they're called Allison Chains.

I'll never buy a Sex Pistols figure until they make Steve Jones...

 

[D. Martin]

Courtney Love on the other hand...

Well, Medicom would have to make a skank-whore body first...

As for Nirvana, that is a perfect example of a band, not a single musician. I'd want all three of them (Nevermind on...) Although a Pat Smear figure would be a nice addition too.

 

[hardlydangerous]

Queen RoX!

 

[D. Martin]

I think they're called Allison Chains.

No, I'm pretty sure its Alice In Chains

 

[pixletwin]

No, I'm pretty sure its Alice In Chains

 

[galactiboy]

What no love for Paul Cook... what about Matlock? Every line needs someone who sucks

 

[D. Martin]

I'd buy them all if they made Jonesy. ...Maybe not Sid Vicious though. He was a clown.

 

[The Josh]

We need some Hootie and The Blowfish figures!!

 

[galactiboy]

He definitely was a clown... but there is a certain cliche quality about him that I think makes for a good figure. Its sort of like he represented all that was good and bad about punk and gave us a good look at where the scene would trainwreck into.

Also the irony of a $150 high-end collectible of a punk is pretty enticing
