Looking for suggestions on the next few figures I make. I have a few in the works already and plans for many more. Those who have seen my stuff, I love obscure characters. Toys, cartoons, movies, video games. Anything goes ! Who deserves a chunky mini figure version? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

May I suggest The Great Heep from the old Star Wars droids cartoon? He's both obscure and from a cartoon!

 

He looks like this:

Sometimes I forget most people dont dive as deep into expanded universes as much as I do looking for usable reference material.
If you want to be topical, you could make grand admiral thrawn.

 

Im oddly in a starwars mood.

Speaking of "The Maxx", ive been wanting to commission a sculpt of another character from MTV's Oddities. the alien from "The Head"

 

Another idea ive had was doing a rastafar-eye from the movie "Freaked"

I dont know about 99% of these characters listed. I asked for obscure and I got it. Any video games?



Gorgo! Pulgasari! Gamera and his foes!

I love Gamera but theres like a million figures of him already in chunky form. I can't compete with those Japanese sculptors.

Vector man is a good one. I  could see that as a super poseable glyos figure. Advance wars is a nice one too. I love those chunky tanks. I may do one of those.
