Iconiq Studios announce Highlander 1/6 License

[Nagoya]

Old enough!

I won’t pretend I’m not an idiot who constantly misses obvious jokes (I am), but I’ve never actually seen Highlander or knew about any of the other figs out there.

Anyway, Iconiq seems like a really strange company to me. They’re still pretty new, right? They’re killing it with their Street Fighter line announcements and their Ryu turned out to be one of my favourite figures to date… But then their more recent Patrick Bateman was super controversial here, with really weird issues with the sculpt and overall proportion.

Hopefully with this, they can really stick the highlanding

Almost every time I see that homelander thread my brain tells me it is highlander and I get excited... hopefully this company can make quality figures.

Curious what version people will prefer, the flashback versions on the “present day” version?

Personally I wanna see the present day version, tench coat included.

Yeah I love the opening look from the parking garage duel.

 

[Rotfish]

Flashback and it's not even close.

No one wants Richie? I think he's one of the best tv show sidekicks. A shame they just kill him off accidentally.

 

[Mondragon]

Definitely interested in the OG trio in their fantastic era specific uniforms, those are three iconic looks, (though wtf was that extraordinary Kurgan armor? LOL).

Flashback and it's not even close.

Yeah, I consider that the main movie, and the rest as Flashforwards.
If anything I hope the inevitable reboot delves more into the fantastic past.

I'd watch a whole extended flashback prequel of Ramírez adventures in feudal Japan, meeting Shakiko and acquiring the Katana from her father.

But if they got the license, I imagine Iconiq will be wanting to exploit both past and modern eras to the most, it's kind of what makes the great visual theme of the franchise.

Duncan was THE Man back in the 90s, so maybe Iconiq can eventually make a version better than Sideshow’s that looks like Dracula now.

This is awesome news. I loved Highlander as a kid so these figures are definitely on my list.

the best news for me in this SDCC thing
