Toys I Wish They Made!

So this is a simple rant that MAY be a recurring theme but for now, I wish they made these toys! If there was EVER a line that I wish would be picked up by Funko Super 7 or ANY company for that matter, it would be for the 1984 Sci-Fi Fantasy Classic, The Last Starfighter. Apparently, Galoob had prototypes made up for a future line before they were ultimately scrapped. I would LOVE a line like the classic Kenner Star Wars line with super simplistic paint jobs and a vehicle line to go with it! There are some intrepid fans out there who have created their own line of figures but they end up selling for over $1000. I mean…if that isn’t demand, I don’t know what is!! Hasbro, McFarlane, Mattel…somebody, ANYBODY please!! I need a Centauri with his Star Car that could include a Beta-Unit (pre transformation of course). A Gunstar that would hold Grig and Alex so they can properly defend the Frontier against Xur and the Ko-Dan armada! Here’s your chance toy czars!!! And like Otis says in the film “…Important things is, when it comes, you’ve got to grab with both hands and hold on tight!”

Alex Rogan and Grig
The Ultimate Salesman, Centauri
Lord Kril
Centauri’s Star Car (makes a cameo in Back to the Future 2 by the way)
Alex’s modified Gunstar with Death Blossom action)
An Alex and Starfighter game 2 pack?

Nowhere California is diving deep into the abyss of toys and collectibles to bring you the new or the forgotten. In this first installment, we are taking a look at the recent announcement from NECA Toys and their upcoming figures honoring the king of parody music, “Weird Al” Yankovic.

NECA Toys released a preview of one of the figures of the collection. This classic Al figure is patterned towards his earlier days, as you can see with his glasses and short afro, but this edition will come with a more modern look and a second head. The second head depicts the present day Al, with long hair and clean shaven face.

There is no set release date of this figure and the other figures that will make up this collection, so for now we can only expect more eras of Al to be released and the loyal Al fans will be waiting in even worse anticipation.

Which era of Al would you like to see in this collection? There are so many to choose from, will we see Al from UHF or a Claymation Al from the Jurassic Park video? Tell us your thoughts.
