With taking off in popularity here I think it's time we made some wish lists like we've been doing with Revoltech. I'll start: Persona: Aigis is a great start and hopefully she'll sell well enough to show that people want Person figures. I could really go for a set of "unnamed" hero characters for each of the 4 Persona games first and foremost, but of course Metis is a must as well. Maybe even some of the personas like Orpheus and Izanagi. Fate/stay night: They've been doing a really great job with this line (need to get myself a Saber Lilly Avalon some day). Archer is quite important so he's a give since we already have a Rin Tousaka figma. Shinji Mato and Rider would be a good pair. Gilgamesh is a figure I've wanted for a while and it would be nice to have a Kiritsugu Emiya figure too, there's been a statue or two of him, usually paired with Saber. Toradora: Ryûji Takasu, Taiga Aisaka, Minori Kushieda, Ami Kawashima, and Yûsaku Kitamura. This would be very much in line with what they did with the Haruhi line. This was my favorite show in '08, I really want something other than statues to go on my shelves! Black Rock Shooter: For those that aren't familiar, BRS is a very dark re-imagining by artist "huke" of the Vocaloid Miku Hatsune as a super powered warrior. Get a good look at her on the official animation website. Would be a great opportunity for them to do another "girl with guns" figure. Good Smile has already done a PVC statue of her so a figma from them isn't much of a stretch. Kara no Kyoukai: A super bloody series of movies from TypeMoon, the folks behind Fate/stay night and CANAAN. Would make sense for knife wielding main character Shiki Ryogi to get the same figure treatment that Saber and Canaan got. Would be really interesting to see just what innovative things they could do with a girl that wears a yukata. She'd have to have a removable red leather jacket (via interchangeable arms no doubt) and three different faces (normal Shiki, "SHIKI", and "Death Perception" eyes). I have others I want, but that's a good start on a list. Emerje

I'll second a Black Rock Shooter figma! I can see that one coming out when the anime is released. Video Game representation: Blazblue would be cool with the figma treatment. Gotta at least haveTaokaka and perhaps Ragna. Shikigami no Shiro Whoever the main characters are from that! LOL! Anime: Heat Guy J J of course and Daisuke. s-CRY-ed Kazuma, Ryuhou and Scheris Adjani And since Kara no Kyokai was mentioned why not throw in a line of characters based on Tsukihime. Shiki Tohno and Arcueid Brunestud for starters. Other properties for me would be: Cowboy Bebop Trinity Blood Needless Karas- *shrunken down and more affordable* Munto- TV or OAV and many, MANY more...

Man, I gotta agree with pretty much everything posted. I'd like to see Rachel and Nu from BlazBlue too, along with Tao (think of all the repaints they could do! @_@). BRS has just recently come to my attention - I think the anime comes out in January? If it's anything like the PV it should be worth watching. The statue is cool but pricey, and I'd rather have a poseable figure anyway.
I'd like to see figmas of the whole crew from Lupin III (Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, Fujiko, Zenigata). I think they'd fit with Masaki Asai's sculpting style, and I'd love to have some nice poseable figures of them.
This might be more of a stretch, but seeing the Ouendan from the DS series Osu! Tatake! Ouendan figmatized would make me smile ear-to-ear for at least six months straight.
Lets see...having a Gedächtnis to go with Drossel would be pretty cool. Maybe Kamina from Gurren Lagann? I'd like to see the three main Steel Angels from Steel Angel Kurumi get some better figures too, but it might be too old of a franchise now. A manga or anime accurate Vash (Trigun) would be welcome too, but that's probably Kaiyodo territory due to ToyTribe.
And finally...The Crescendolls from Interstella 5555. That'd be ridiculously awesome.

• The Red armored pilot from Muv Luv. I have seen a Resin of her, but no figures.
• Major Motoko Kusanagi
• Rockman, since they did a nice job with Drossel

Azumanga Daioh and Persona would be my big wishes, I think.

shame on you emerje and recca for not posting pics or links for half of what you are suggesting since i dont have any idea of half of what youre suggesting. All right, fair enough. I already posted pics of BRS and I don't think I need to explain much about Persona. Toradora -- From left to right: Ryuji Takasu (main character and "dora" or "dragon" in the name "Toradora"), Yusaku Kitamura (Ryuji's only close friend at the start of the series and student council vice-president), Taiga Aisaka (the "tora" or "tiger" in "Toradora", Ryuji's new hot-headed neighbor, has a crush on Kitamura, Ryuji tends to watch out for her like family), Minori Kushieda (Ryuji's primary love interest, albeit she's completely oblivious to it), and Ami Kawashima (Kitamura's childhood friend, she's also a fashion model taking a break, develops an interest in Ryuji) Fate/stay night -- Archer (with Rin, note that he's holding the swords that the upcoming Shirou figure comes with) Shinji Mato and Rider (with Saber, there are a ton of Rider statues out there, 'bout time we've gotten a figure) Gilgamesh (Basically the main villain of the series) Kiritsugu Emiya (That's a Max Factory statue so a figma seems like a good choice. There's also a Saber that goes with it I wouldn't mind getting the figma treatment too. Kara no Kyoukai -- Heh, just found out that there actually IS a figma of Shiki in the works so that settles that! Apparently it'll be the first to feature a cloth outfit. However, that's not the iconic look for Shiki, that comes from one scene in the 5th movie. What I want is a figure based on this outfit, that's the one most of the statues and Nendoroids are based on. Then I could do a display like this. While I'm at it few other quick ones: -It's high time we got a non-statue figure of Clare from Claymore. There have been some really amazing statues, but no figures. - Casshern as seen in Casshern Sins - Shinkurou Kurenai from the anime and manga series Kure-nai. He does't look like much, but he's a great fighter and has this going for him- To Aru Majutsu no Index - From that image I'd take Touma Kamijou (the guy in the front holding out his hand), Index (the girl dressed as a nun), Mikoto Misaka (girl with short hair and lightning in her hand) and Accelerator (guy in the black and white shirt). Mikoto could even come with an alternate head, removable shorts (she wears them under her skirt) and some guns to double as the MIKOTO clones (seen on the left). - Yozakura Quartet - Basically I'd take the four in this image, most of whom have had statues made. The series is about a town where supernatural creatures live normal lives. From left to right Kotoha Isone (half human/half Youkai who summons weapons, usually heavy artillery), Hime Yarizakura (part dragon and current mayor despite her age), Akina Hiizumi (human, but he has an ability that lets him send evil youkai back to their world), and Ao Nanami (a psychic "satori" or Japanese mountain creature that can read people's minds) - Kino from Kino's Journey. Bonus points if she comes with her talking motorcycle, Hermes. Emerje

Thanks emerje, i think added pictures adds a lot more to these type of threads and helps people like me know what your talking about lol.
I just started Fate stay knight, looks like i have a lot of cool characters to look forward too!
I havent seen the new Casshern but I like the more stylized design.
How could I forget Claymore,in fact I wold like a few from that series. I have the PVC figure shown though and its very nice.
I am so glad no one has mentioned evangellion!! like we need anymore of them

Has anyone mentioned Hellsing yet? That would be pretty epic. Of course Alucard would have to have all kinds of body morphing add-ons for his freaky combat style. Also......Berserk. That has to be done. Azumanga Daioh and Persona would be my big wishes, I think. Oh, man if Azu Daioh had been a current show I'm sure it would have TONS of figures. It just missed the big otaku marketing explosion that Haruhi and Lucky Star have been riding for a couple years. I could use a Chiyo-Chan & Osaka for sh*ts n' giggles. ;D

I guess there's still some Azudai love out there in Japan. I was kinda hoping Revoltech would give us a Chiyo figure to go with the Yotsuba figure. ;D Emerje

Some really good suggestions here, everyone!! My deepest apologies for not posting pics for ya MMJ!!! LOL! :-P Figma of Crows X Worst characters would be awesome. Been on a kick lately reading the Worst manga right now. I think it'd be sweet to offer some of those characters up in figma form at some point. They've been offered up already as pricey PVC figures, but I think it's time they got some action figure attention.... Crows recently got made into two feature length movies directed the man Takashi Miike. Crows Zero and Crows Zero II Series info... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worst_%28manga%29Character info crowsxworst.com/cxw_manga_worst_char.htmlMovie official site www.cz2.jp/index.html

Miike? You've got my attention! I'm off to Netflix to do some adding.
Speaking of Miike, I'd be in for a Zebraman figma.

/points at the "wish list" part of the thread title Ghost in the shell and Appleseed are probably the two biggest IPs I'd love to see get some figma treatment. Shirow loves his ladies; there's a depressing lack of them in plastic form, though.

I think MMJ might have been questioning the Bubblegum Crisis 2032 itself, which would be the original BGC, thinking it was something new. Frankly I'd take anything BGC in either figma or Revoltech form. What's out there now is either good and super expensive, or bad and super expensive...
And I assume Rider is the same Fate Rider that I had asked for earlier.

Put my vote in for Bubblegum Crisis Figmas. I have all four of Yamato's, with the bikes, but I'd ditch those little overpriced G.I.Joes for Figmas any day.
I know, it's the bikes that inflate the price, but they're still expensive sets for what they are.

My god! This topic has been neglected for far too long! Well, here's my next round of wishes from figma: Angel Beats!It's a colaboration project between a few different companies, particularly Key (Clannad, Kanon, Air), Aniplex (Bleach, Gurren Lagann, Naruto), P.A. Works (Canaan, True Tears), and ASCII Media Works (Publishers of the Dengenki line of magazines). The story is about "Purgatory" of sorts that takes place between Heaven and Earth, in the form of a Japanese high school. Students that go there must cast off their former lives and conform to the school in order to pass on to Heaven. However, out of fear of losing who they are a large group of students formed the Shinda Sekai Sensen (SSS or Afterlife War Front) and rebel against the school violently. Their opponent is "Angel", and young, white haired girl with special abilities that allow here to defend the school from the SSS (she's also the student council president). However, the students can't be permanently harmed and heal quickly, even fatal wounds result in waking up unharmed later leading to a vicious cycle between the SSS and Angel. Here are the three characters I would like to see made the most: From left to right: Yuzuru Otonashi - Main protagonist of Angel Beats!, he comes to the after life with no memories of his life before and is quickly recruited into the SSS. Yuri - Leader of the SSS and the first person Otonashi meets in the afterlife. Kanade "Angel" Tachibana - Defender of the school in the afterlife as well as student council president. She has a special ability called "Guard Skill" that endows her with alterations such "Hand Sonic", a blade that slides out behind her hand, and "Distortion" which can deflect bullets. Check out the opening, it's easily my favorite of the current Japanese anime season and features several other characters I'd like to have in figure form: More to come! Emerje
