I haven’t seen this movie yet, but I’m well aware of it. And now, here’s the action figure: [http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=34031&type=store](http://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=search&item=34031&type=store) I guess it’s only a matter of time until a Kill Bill series of figures shows up. (I’m afraid to look…) ---

How about zombies from the newest **Dawn of the Dead**? Or some of those infected folks from **28 Days Later**? Do they just make action figures for every movie character these days? ---

I _must_ have that Scully doll! _paws around frantically for change in pockets_ If I buy that Tony Montana figure, I could beat all my brother’s X-Men figures so easily… _ponders this heavily_ ---

Or some of those infected folks from **28 Days Later**? Do they just make action figures for every movie character these days? No zombies, sorry. But just off the top of my head, here are some movies and shows that have had action figures come out in the last few years: Star Wars (all) Star Trek (all) Spider-Man 1 & 2 X-Men 1 & 2 Hulk Fantastic Four (upcoming) Blade Blade 2, Daredevil, Punisher (not entire toy lines, but figures based on the main characters from those movies) Batman Begins (upcoming) Sin City (upcoming) Sleepy Hollow (that Ichabod Crane is a great Johnny Depp likeness) X-Files (small action figures as well as the newer 12" dolls with cloth costumes) Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel Farscape Pirates of the Caribbean Alien (all) Predator (all) Terminator (all) The Matrix (all) Hellraiser (all) Reservoir Dogs Kill Bill Pulp Fiction (just cute little “block figures”; I’m still waiting for real action figures) Ghostbusters (just the monsters, no humans yet) House of 1,000 Corpses Army of Darkness (I’m not impressed at all) The Kevin Smith movies (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) Mystery Men (sadly, not very good) Jurassic Park (all) Godzilla (the American version) Wild Wild West Independence Day Batman (all four previous movies) Smallville (based on the TV show) Austin Powers (all) Strange Brew Slap Shot Desperately Seeking Susan (I’m not joking) A toy line called Movie Maniacs created figures of several well-known characters, mostly horror movie mainstays like Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers, Chucky, etc., but also threw in some curveballs like John Shaft (Samuel L. Jackson), The Crow, Edward Scissorhands, and Robocop. Another short-lived line called Silent Screamers made highly-stylized action figures based on silent horror films from the 19-teens and '20s, including Maria from Metropolis, Nosferatu, and Cesare, the sleepwalker from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. And that isn’t even going into the obvious TV cartoons. As for me, I’m still waiting for the four human Ghostbusters, Fight Club figures, and more Tarantino characters, especially from Pulp Fiction or True Romance. But I’m so weird, I’d actually buy toys based on Arrested Development, 24, The Shield, and even Boston Legal! ---

Duh, some obvious ones I forgot: Lord of the Rings (all) Harry Potter (all) Hellboy There are probably several others, too. ---

There were Pulp Fiction full figures, of the Todd Toys variety, saw 'em at Suncoast, don’t know who made them. ---

I’m positive you’re thinking of the Reservoir Dogs 7" figures, made by Mezco a few years back. ---

Lou, you are completely correct. I keep getting those two movies backwards, or sideways. ---

> [@E-Sabbath](#): > > Lou, you are completely correct. I keep getting those two movies backwards, or sideways. No worries. They take place in the same continuity anyway, and characters from the two movies (John Travolta’s Vincent Vega in PF and Michael Madsen’s Vic Vega in RD) are brothers, plus everyone wears black suits. ---
