These have all been done, whether officially, or as "not-" versions...

Not the items neither the quality neither the range depth I want them...

Copplestone Castings do some nice not-predators.

I could go for some Bleach minis personally. Or a decent Firefly crew (I think Heresy's ones are awful).

They are true 28mm stuff and to be honest they are not that atractive... Neither are other not predas around...(only ever seen 1 good example all these years.)

The problem with all these "not x" minis is that they only scratch the surface of these IP's universes... I mean just because you make a mini of not conan for your range it doesnt cover its universe of creatures and IP etc...

Fallout/mad max

That's right. Heavy metal. I will not explain anymore so as to not give away my idea.

40K?

No. Heavy Metal.

As in the Mag?

Thinking about all the female cover stars as mini's are we.

28mm scale skirmish game for Star Wars and Dune would be awesome... Fallout would be good minis but I'm not sure on the depth of gameplay compared to the different types of factions in Star Wars and Dune. I'd buy all the Fallout minis though too...

I'd have to say the following:

Dune
Mass Effect
HALO (no clix rubbish)
Gears of War
Star Gate

Do some better figs for Call of Cthulhu.

Yes, I kinow the range has been done, but with the "advancements" in plastics, I'm pretty sure that some pretty impressive minis could be produced. Imagine a Cthulhu model the size of an Eldar Avatar?

Would be the only way to go, and package them together.

Also...MUST be cartoon version, at least the first series of minis. If those sold well enough then they could try the Bayformers.

Another must for me would be scale, or at least a reasonable attempt at it. Things like Megatron in gun mode might be hard to keep in scale. What I dont want to see is a Bumblebee as tall as Megatron and Prime in robot mode, or Prime as small as Bumblebee in vehicle mode.

Im far from a major fan, but if somethings to be done a reasonable attempt should be made.

LOL not Eavy Metal like the GW paint studio...Heavy Metal like the 70s cartoon movie (Im assuming).

You mean something like this?

Tron and Conan the Barbarian.

That's it.

Dunno if its been said or not, but I would love me some Killzone minis... Helghast ftw!

Of course, if they had their own game, i doubt i would play it, they would just be for my guardsmen (since theyre supposed to be a mix between 3d ACR, and Helghast)

Truthfully? Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampires (HBO's True Blood).

I know the idea is laughable, and the rules would be... unspeakable, but I just want a 28mm Sookie and Bubba.

I've never been a fan of the homebrew rulesets or the figures I've seen for Dr. Who. It's not at the top of my list, partially because I just don't think the universe screams "wargame."

A sci-fi show I would love to see as a skirmish-level game, though, that hasn't been mentioned yet is Farscape. Plenty of named heroes and villains, as well as multiple races with hordes of nameless grunts, so I could see it scaling up reasonably well (you could pad your kickass group of 5 characters with a squad or two of cheap goons, but must consider the benefit of force of numbers versus quality of troops when list-building).

Brutal Legend could potentially make a pretty badass tabletop game, as well. I mean, there was already more or less a real-time implementation of a wargame present in the form of Stage Battles. A few different armies/races to choose from, a general used both to attack, (de)buff, and issue orders, a set battlefield size with intervening terrain and objective points (fan geysers) to capture and hold, opposing bases (stages) from which to launch attacks and to serve as the ultimate objectives... Most of the conceptual work is done for you, really, and the art style would translate incredibly well, I think.

Sigh, Mandalorian minis that I can pose and equip how I want.....

I'd love to see some Hyborian era (Conan) minis - no existing figures capture the dynamism of the world of Conan. Theirs a certain aesthetic not captured by historical figures that leaves them very wanting.

Would love to make a proper Aquilonian army, and grind the picts into the ground forever!

A line of horror movie monsters in 28mm would be fun to paint. The Universal classics and some of the 80s slashers have already been done in 25mm unofficial versions but I think a dedicated quality line might sell well.

Armored Core miniature game.

I'd like to see a Planetside Range, and a Tom Clancy range.

I think to most folks, Planetside minis would look like generic sci-fi stuff, but it'd have a huge nostalgia factor for me. A well supported range could be successful though, as overhead would be fairly small. Most of the kits would be usable by all three factions, differentiated mostly by paint job. Also terrain is already done, as all of the buildings in the game shared many common aspects.

By a "Tom Clancy" range, I mean a near-future warfare setting with elements from Splinter Cell, H.A.W.X., Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter and End War. Obviously his name would be attached to the game to give it some main stream credibility.

I'd love a good GI joe miniatures game. Not the new GI joe, but more along the lines of the 25th anniversary American hero joes. A little more realistic, like the comic book, not the cartoon. There is alot of great fluff and cool vehicles. Some of it is a little out there, but if you stayed with the core stuff and built from there it would be cool.

how could I have forgotten, some FireFly minis would be cool

That would be something. I'd buy in just for a Bubba figure. Weretigers are cool too!

Yep, I want my own Iron Grenadiers to fight against GI JOE and Cobra!

Imagine the forums as the game progressed and more of the sub-factions/units were introduced. People could mock any Battleforce 2000 players, and praise anyone insane and talented enough to pull off a proper Python Patrol color scheme. Then if someone tried to proxy some Cobra LA figures the rage levels would be akin to those who model female Space Marine armies.

Oh it would be glorious.

Cobra fought cobra all the time, gi joe vs gi joe would be harder. You've got the dreadnoughts, october gaurd, iron grenadiers, cobrala, crimson guard. It would be sweet. Plus think of the cool 40k conversions you could build with the parts.

The point is that they have been done.

errrr...Yes, because if a company makes say one non-Conan figure for its range then all conan universe IP is covered right?
