I would definitely buy Guts, Caska, Griffith, and Zodd the Imortal from [Berserk](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berserk_%28manga%29) if I saw them.

Others come mostly from novels, so they would be difficult to pull off. The Gunslinger from the _Dark Tower_ series, Paul Atreides, a Fremen warrior, a Sardaukar warrior, and Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen from _Dune_.

Also if someone made action figures of all the principle [Æsir](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%86sir) and [Vanir](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanir) gods and goddesses I would have to buy them.

The Kari action figure from Mythbusters might be nice. After aw hile you would have to blow it up.

I’m thinking Ann Coulter with a Medusa hairdo, holding her own head, wearing a black minidress. Spontaneously combusts when you read the New York Times editorial page to it.

I would love poseable action figures of the Ankh Morpork City Watch, and other principle Discworld characters. Picture it: An Unseen University Library Playset (Librarian sold seperately); a Patrician’s Palace Playset, complete with Scorpion Pit; Pseudopolis Yard, with Igor’s Laboratory in the basement.

It would be awesome.
