More 1980s horror movies!! Please!(and 1970s)

You mentioned Matrix as a possibility a while back, still possible after the re-structure?

Postby **ausbot** » Mon Aug 03, 2015 10:50 pm

I see there is a diggle version of the Arrow figure coming out, if you need easy characters to re use, a white canary from Black canary mold, and Ras al Gaul from Dark Archer, (he would need a new head) or put the unmasked oliver queen head on the Dark Archer body, Just a few suggestions, Thanks.

Is there any news about what is coming out next?
Getting a little worried that after Fight Club there will be a huge gap in Reaction offerings.

Funko has been oddly silent on Reaction lately. Reis hasn't answered questions in some time. What is going on?

Postby **Omegacity** » Sat Aug 08, 2015 5:52 pm

I'm a little worried by the lack of communication.
Kinda concerned we won't see Munsters or Aliens or Dark Crystal.

Dark Crystal being canned would probably kill me.

Maybe Reis is on vacation? Somebody involved with the Dark Crystal line said on facebook that the figures are delayed to next year.

Postby **Omegacity** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 11:41 am

As long as the Dark Crystal line is just delayed and not cancelled.
Was sad to hear Bill and Ted and Planet of the Apes are no longer on the list to be made.
I hope the new direction things are taking will infuse the same amount of fun and "Hey I can't believe they finally made figures for this" as Jaws, Fifth Element and Star Trek 3 3/4" Original Series.

Hey gang. Thought I'd chime in here because I'm seeing a lot of people hitting the panic button, somehow under the impression that ReAction is going away. Let me make this very clear: IT'S NOT.

At the moment, we're trying to come up with a smarter game plan for 2016. We knew that we wanted 2015 to be about making a big splash (and we did), but we'd like to see 2016 be about licenses that make more sense for the line (ie. vintage 80s) and coming up with a better plan for releasing them in a more spread out fashion throughout the year.

Some stuff on the short list got bumped to 2016 so we could better take our time on them and do them right, some long list stuff got taken off completely because it just didn't fit what we have learned does best in ReAction form, mostly newer properties.

I don't want this to turn into a "What about this? What about that?" conversation. I can't really comment on the lists at the moment, because they are in such a fluid state right now. But we're getting a handle on it and are sure you'll be pleased.

In the meantime, just hold tight, trust in the fact that we're not going anywhere and you'll have some new soon-ish, with lots of new big reveals at Toy Fair (I know, that's so far away).

Sorry for being a bit absent lately, but like I said, we're reworking ReAction and I've had a thousand other Funko projects to work on (Pops, Mystery Minis, etc.).

So, deep breaths, people. Everything is fine. See you in the toy aisles!

I had a question about the Wolfman I've picked up two and they both have a problem moving their legs. Looks like the paint made it stick together. Has anyone else seen a problem with this or is it bad that I play with mine lol

Postby **Omegacity** » Tue Aug 11, 2015 6:00 pm

Thank you for the response, Reis.
Great to hear things are still moving forward and that we shouldn't panic.
Looking very forward to seeing which 80's properties are going to come next as Reaction figures.

Postby **ausbot** » Tue Aug 11, 2015 8:24 pm

I hope they don't just stick to 1980s lines, Don't get me wrong I like them too, but it is nice to see modern lines such as Arrow and Flash in this style as well.

Postby **bgiles73** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 12:48 am

I hope that The X- Files is still a possibility for Reaction. That's a property I think would be fun provided we get plenty of "Greys" and monsters. Since they are looking back at older licenses I wonder if Dark Shadows is a possibility?

Postby **redmao** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 4:10 pm

I like the fact that the line is going back to older properties which fits the line.
Thanks for passing by!

Postby **DARTHMARCO** » Wed Aug 12, 2015 4:38 pm

As long as the Dark Crystal line is still going to be made and not have to disappoint my children. Got my daughter into it and she is just waiting for any news. Please Mr. Reis confirm that Dark Crystal will still come out! Thank you for getting back to us.

My son loves Jaws!

Postby **CRM** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 9:45 am

would love a Lost in Space or space 1999 to go alongside the trek and vintage wars figs

Postby **Omegacity** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 1:11 pm

I would really love a series of 3 3/4" Space 1999 figures.
Classic TV Toys did the Mego versions a few years ago and I wished they had gone the 3 3/4" route.
Is there any chance of a series of television figures which may include Simon & Simon, The Fall Guy, Magnum PI, Riptide, Miami Vice, Jake & the Fatman, 21 Jumpstreet, Hunter and Charlie's Angels?
The 70's, 80's and 90's were such a golden age for television and had so many memorable characters.

Sorry, but we have found, both in feedback and in sales numbers, that the older stuff (mid-70s to mid 80s) works best for this line. Arrow and Flash just didn't get the response we'd hoped. I think it was an odd mix of a modern license in an older style format, which sort of made for a disconnect with most collectors.

But don't worry, we have some cool ideas for more modern licensed action figures. But I can't say anything further about that right now.

Dark Shadows is a bit too old. Nor do I think there's a large enough action figure collector base for that show.

We've pushed Dark Crystal to next year so we can have the time to do it right.

You have to think bigger. Think larger fan base. More specifically a larger action figure buying fan base.

Postby **CRM** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 3:53 pm

so like 3 3/4 versions of the 8 and 12 inch figures of the 70's? Any more Trek fig?, how about generics to customize?

Postby **Omegacity** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 5:11 pm

I understand how trying to find properties from the 70's and 80's with a sizeable fan base that would also buy action figures would be a bit tricky.
The Last Starfighter would seem to be a great idea but are the fans still out there to buy the toys?
But would there be more Boondock Saints fans or Last Starfighter fans?

Postby **Darkbill** » Thu Aug 13, 2015 7:17 pm

Hi Reis,

Purely theoretical but if you were to do a Judge Dredd figure would it be more likely to be from the Stallone movie or the recent Karl Urban movie?

Damn. So in other words, Game of Thrones has been completely kiboshed. That's disappointing. That's definitely a line I would have bought every figure from.

I don't know, I still think Miami Vice and Magnum, P.I. could be solid sellers.

With interest renewed in Xena (and a new show coming out) and the rights dispute now solved, when can i buy Xena/Herc ReAction, POP, and most of all Legacy?

Postby **redmao** » Fri Aug 14, 2015 2:09 pm

I'm pretty sure that most 80's TV heroes would be a winner.
MacGuyver, Miami Vice, Magnum, Michael Knight, Hawk, etc are great properties that never got proper action figures and Reaction would be the perfect platform. I think that fans would love to have those iconic characters interact with their current collections.

I would love to have the Miami Vice duo go after Scarface and be stopped by the Terminator or Dracula.

To be honest, I can't picture us doing Dredd in ReAction form.

Postby **mikechickenhead** » Fri Aug 14, 2015 2:17 pm

a WWE line of reaction would be cool. Has anyone thought about that idea yet?

Postby **Gillman74** » Sat Aug 15, 2015 11:42 am

Hi Reis,

Thank you and everyone at Funko for the Reaction line. I must say, this has been my favorite collectible line of all time. The complete Jaws set brings my collection to 25 figures. I have waited my whole life for a set a Jaws figures and they are way beyond my expectations. Love them! Is there any consideration for The Lost Boys, the films of Stephen King, or Twin Peaks? These are some of my other favorite properties and I feel greedy for asking, but what the heck, ask I will. Thanks.

Postby **rylos-22** » Sun Aug 16, 2015 12:32 am

Have u guys thought of doing IT (stphn kng),as say a two-pack (kid version of character&adult version)-that might be kinda neat..also,if jaws does well,will secondary characters be considered? (Mrs.brody,mayor,chrissy,kitner boy?)

Postby **ReisOBrien** » Mon Aug 17, 2015 11:48 am

Hey gang, I just want to reiterate that I can't comment on any questions regarding any upcoming lines, what's still on the list and what isn't, until we have something more concrete to report. Things are just shuffling around a lot right now, so it wouldn't be fair to me to say "Yes, this is happening!" because that could change next week. I truly appreciate the enthusiasm you guys have for upcoming stuff, and rest assured, there WILL BE UPCOMING STUFF! I just can't comment on that right now. I'm only mentioning this so all of you who are asking about potential lines don't think I'm ignoring you.

In fact, it's probably best to keep the suggestions relegated to the ReAction Wishlist thread (which I do read and take note of).

That way, we can keep this thread more about the process and whatnot. Hope that all made sense! :P

Postby **DARTHMARCO** » Wed Aug 19, 2015 2:26 pm

Mr. Reis,

It will be nice to have some type of fantasy ReAction line. I suggest a line of ReAction figures for Game of Thrones characters. Also would be nice to have ReAction figures for the 1982 Conan movie. Can you please look into these suggestions?

Have a good day.

Shouldn't we have seen the october solicits by now? Are you still planning on new product for that timeframe? (i.e. the Horror and NBX stuff)

Horror and NBX or getting pushed back a bit, while we restructure. But they are coming! The second series of NBX figures are gorgeous! But, sorry, they won't be arriving in time for Halloween.

Postby **TCM Hitchhiker** » Tue Aug 25, 2015 1:01 am

Why is the masked Arrow figure the exclusive? Shouldn't it be the other way around? I would really like an Arrow figure, but no mask, no dice.

Postby **nickytea** » Tue Aug 25, 2015 8:38 pm

Reis,
Totally appreciate that everything's up in the air as the ReAction line gets restructured, but if there's any point at which you know whether or not the last "Tomorrowland" Athena figure is still being produced, please let us know! (A lot of fans keep asking us over at Tomorrowland Times.)
Thanks!

I think the masked version is a chase, not an exclusive. I know it's frustration finding chase figures, but even on the secondary market, they aren't too expensive, so you should be able to find one.

Unfortunately, that figure has been cancelled. Sorry.
