The Workshop is the place where I will post my own and others Ideas for figures that I think would be outstanding and/or perform well in the Movie Maniacs line.
To kick things off, I thought I would offer my Opinions on how Series 2 should be made.
O.K., now we all know we want Michael here. No playing around with this one. The costume is simple enough so let's look at accessories. You gotta include the knife, that goes without saying. Other possibilities include a Jack O'Lantern, Scalpel, Judith Myers Headstone, Ghost sheet and Sunglasses (From the original Halloween).
Now Norman, I have had brewing for a while now. I was so relieved when I heard it was going to be the Anthony Perkins Model because he really is the one and only Norman. Make the clothes the Black Longsleeve pullover and Jean type pants and keep him slim because that was a factor in the creepiness.
Accessories HAVE to include a cloth dress and Wig for easy transformation into mother, and of course, Mother needs her Blade.
Extras that might be cool would be Mother's corpse in her Rocking Chair.
These two can't be hard to get right. Have them made looking exactly as they do in the above picture. If you want to go the extra mile and open up the choices, you can make the PG versions with a normal unscarred Chucky or Tiffany in her Wedding gown. I prefer the above models myself.
As far as Accessories go, the sky's the limit. Out of the 4 films there has been variety, but Chucky has used a hammer more than once so that might be an Idea. Tiffany was pretty handy with that Champagne bottle. All I ask is that you stay away from anything relating to the end of the film cause that's what killed it for me.
Well, Pumpkinhead is a tough one. He will be a great figure and that part you should have no problem with, but as far as accessories go, it's a pretty dry lot. I think the favorite in my mind would be the Pod from the tree in which Ol Pumpkin is brought forth. Just stay away from anything in that Second movie. Stick to the original, it was and still is very underrated as a great Horror film. I guess cause it actually had a story and a plot.
Now Eric isn't hard at all.
Black, worn clothes. Dr. Martins looking boots, and Removable Black Overcoat. Don't forget the ring around his neck.
Accessories should include, a crow (of course), Black, Electric Guitar, and maybe just for laughs, a bottle of lighter fluid exactly the way it looked in the film.
As I said previously though, Model everything after the original because I and many others REFUSE to buy ANYTHING associated with that second piece of Trash!
Well it seems that most people have adopted him as "Ghostface" although, some technicallists still refer to him as "Father Death" since that was the name on the costume bag in the movie SCREAM.
Either way, it would still make an awesome figure, and in my mind, there is only one way to do it right, and that is by having a removable Cloth costume and Slip on mask come with a Billy Loomis AND Stu Macher figure. That's right, hard plastic versions of the two young psychos and a cloth slip on costume. Throw in the cool knife and you have yourself another figure you can't keep on shelves.
The Accessories are a given also. Just throw in the Trademark Knife (get it right cause it's unique), A Cell Phone, and The Voice changer Box and Viola!
Well, there you have it. The first trip through the workshop, and rest assured this is only the beginning.
