Would you buy 1/6 Beatles?

[Enthus]

Maybe some groups/musicians were not meant to be done and/or be necessarily welcomed (i.e. mass appeal) in 1:6?

This forum is hardly a suitable test for whether these would sell or not I'm actually quite surprised it's about 50% yes, I can't imagine many ideas getting that much approval with the variety of interests this forum has.

Nope. No interest at all.

Not me personally, but they would sell very well. All Beatles stuff does.

And the Beatles didn't? I guess you're right. There wasn't anything particularly special about them that set them apart. They were just a short lived, semi-popular rock band that a few people like anymore. Just run of the mill, basic, celebrities.

Hold on there tiger..

Ok, my last sentence there.. could've chosen better words. I didn't actually mean that the Beatles were run of the mill AT ALL - come on. Of course they're massive in every way, they're true icons - that needs no further reaffirming - & I'm a fan. I'm not objecting at all to them getting their own high end figures or whatever - far from it.

Context & internet conversations..

I probably didn't explain it well enough, but with some of the others I mentioned - there's an exaggerated fantasy element to them that can be exploited beautifully through companies like HT etc. Yes, the Beatles have their respective eras - plus cartoons, personas & psychadelia to match, but I'm talking about MJ as a zombie, KISS in full 70s leather & make up, Arnold as multiple Sci-fi / fantasy characters etc.

It's not their iconic status I was questioning - or their marketability, just making the distinction between their 'world' & the other examples.

That said - the Sgt Peppers era fab four would make sensational figures actually.

I would prefer a company like NECA making them at 6 inch scale. 1/6 costs way to much and I would never be able to purchase all of the four in a set.

They could make the Cavern era Beatles, The British Invasion Beatles, Rubber soul/Revolver era Beatles, Sgt. Pepper, and Abbey Road era lines. I would buy all of them!

The licensing costs would be ginormous!

YES!

I had the same concern as you. The amount of money a person would end up spending to get all four...that would be the only downside for me.

NECA is awesome and I would totally buy some 6 inch figures. I'd even buy 8 inch figures with soft clothing, if NECA decides the Django figures have sold well and they feel they want to continue making figures like that.
