Idea for Mcfarlane Toys....call of duty?
Posted: Wed Aug 11, 2010 12:54 pm
Hey,
A while ago, Mcfarlane toys made some Call of Duty figures in six inch or so scale.
Do they still have the license for COD?
Here is what I was thinking. They have been making more and more 4 inch scale figures lately with their PoP and sports stuff.
The 1 18th fans are starving for products, but none come. There IS a market out there, whether BBI sees it or not.
Fans of video games expand their knowledge and devotion to games like COD everyday. A lot of people get into collecting figures and stuff these days because they are in videogames. Take the Halo games, for example.
So, here is my idea. What if Mcfarlane were to produce 4 inch scale figures from the call of duty games? They could make them modern/WWII, and ideally be actually based off of the characters or NPCs in the actual game. They could release them in the way Hasbro did with the IJ figs, have the waves be figures from a single game.
For instance....
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare wave
1. Captain Price (SAS)
2. Gaz (SAS)
3. Lt. Vasquez (USMC)
4. Sgt. Griggs (USMC)
5. Major Kamarov (Russian)
6. Zakhaev
Call of Duty: World at War wave
1. Sergeant Reznov (Red Army)
2. Chernov (Red Army)
3. Polonsky (Marine)
4. Miller (Marine)
5. Japanese soldier
6. Wermacht Troop
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 wave
1. Captain Mactavish (Snow gear)
2. Ghost (TF 141 Gear)
3. General Shepard
4. Makarov
5. Sergeant Foley
6. Corporal Dunn
7. Russian Soldier (Snow gear)
I dunno, what do you guys think?
Ill post this on the mcfarlane forum too.
