Marilyn Monroe 1:6 ?

[Rzeznikk]

Was wondering why there hasnt been many 1:6 scale Marilyn Monroe figures....Whats the chances of Sideshow, Hot Toys or Enterbay getting the rights to doing a good decent Monroe figure?

I know Hot Toys has done a Marlon Brando, James Dean figures...Marilyn Monroe seems to be right up their alley....she would be a perfect fit in their Hot Angels line....

just a suggestion...

IIRC . . .

Mattel produced one or more versions of Barbie as Marilyn.

I believe Toys McCoy produced a version of Marilyn using the Hasbro GI JANE body with modifications and a custom head some years back. She was dressed up in a flight jacket and some basics as she looked when she was visiting US troops (i.e. USO tour) during the Korean War.

It would be nice to see a well done and worthwhile 1:6 version of Marilyn Monroe . . . done right and not as some limited articulation statue.

Of course . . . how much is the license going to cost and how much is it going to cost collectors like us? How much would we pay for a 1:6 version of Marilyn Monroe?

Hey i'd like one of those! In her white press with the subway grill

 

[Mighty_Jabba]

Yeah, I'd buy a well done Marilyn. Preferably this costume:

...classy and sexy what happened to the classy part? Oh marilyn we need you now

 

[theguru1]

yup, that could work, but needs to be a PF.....

 

[Rzeznikk]

Yeah. The reason I ask is because my fiance is a HUGE Monroe fan, and she collects the Barbie Monroes...although nice in their own right, Id like to add a good quality Monroe figure to my 1:6 scale collection for her. I know there are some REALLY nice Franklin Mint Porcelin Moroe figures...I was thinking of getting the one where she is sitting with a white dress on a bench. No articulation though.

I just though HT would be interested, but Im not sure how much the license would be and may not be worth it to them as a company....making money and what not.

Im sure it would sell though.

[Jediguy]

it would be the first female M Icon lol

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Franklin Mint had some really nice porcelain figures of Marilyn a few years back.

I'd love to see a MM PF done by SS.

As much as I want to see (and buy) a 1:6 Marilyn Monroe . . . all things considered . . . there are other IMHO more worthwhile classic Hollywood and B-grade/cult status female icons I definitely would buy in 1:6 before a 1:6 Marilyn Monroe . . . such as . . .

Bettie Page
Jayne Mansfield
Sophia Loren
Raquel Welch
Cher

I apologize for the thread "hijack"/"diversion".

I have one of the Barbie type figures, it's OK but pretty generic. I also have the Toys McCoy one, I reviewed it here a while back, she's pretty nice... but a lot has happened in the last six or seven years!

And I too really want a Bettie Page figure... and the good news is Executive Replicas have one in the pipeline-

No pics yet, except the one on the home page, but she's coming!

MEH . . .

That was SO 2008-ish.

 

[cr4cx3r]

Agreed. I just don't think the articulation joints would compliment the female form. That's just me though, I'm not a fan of articulation in general.

Hot Toys RE5 Sheva does a good job at hiding the joints.

HOT TOYS really needs to make some Marilyn Monroe figures. Like, yesterday!

I just had this picture of a 1/4 scale Yellow Peanut Darth M&M in my head after reading this
