In Response To: whoa, wait a minute... (MrHen)

: If you guys are actually serious about this, do it right. Think about the
: kinds of things that are needed before a line of toys can be made. Getting
: a dozen or so names on a list is not enough. How much are we willing to
: pay for them? How large are they going to be? What models do we want to
: see? What models would we actually purchase?

: Go ahead and go for it, I am with you all the way.

: Honestly, if you want this done, I would suggest trying to leave Bungie out
: of it as much as possible. Get petition signed saying that the Marathon
: community will do the work and make the designs and then get permission
: from Bungie to work on it. Once you have permission, do all the design
: work (which will be a major pain ) and submit everything back to Bungie
: for approval. Theoretically (if we do a good enough job) all they would
: have to do is make some minor changes and then talk to a company to get
: them created.

: Then wait and pray. It is long shot, but I hope it works.

: An initial survey to see how much interest there is would probably be a good
: idea. I am interested to see what interest there would be in Marathon
: stuff. Asking the Halo forums would probably be a decent place to garner
: some additional interest.

That's a good idea, I will try to contact as many people as I can.
The price ranges for Spawn are:
$9.99 Normal figure
$20.00 boxed set
$24.99 12 inch version of normal figure
$60.00 24 inch version of normal figure(rare occassion)

I was thinking, maybe we don't have to send designs, but they could model them off of the sprite turnarounds.

If they do make toys,there are usually 6 figures in a series. in the first series, most people would probably want:
Pfhor Fighter
You the Marine
Maybe a civilian
Compiler(shooting bolt of course)
Juggernaut
trooper/enforcer?

Or Spawn also makes 3 inch packs of some toys containg like-4 toys in a package.
Pack 1-pfhor
fighter
hunter
enforcer
trooper
juggernaut

Pack 2
Marine
Bob
Compiler
Hulk?
Wasp/looker?

I would also like to hear your ideas. Thanks for taking interest in this.
