There are a lot of comics and fiction that I would love to see in action figure form, but are not. In this thread, I will discuss some of my ideas, and bring up some suggestions for the specifics of each idea. Feel free to give your own suggestions or comment on mine.
Part 1: Baltimore
While Mike Mignola's Hellboy has received a fair amount of collectibles (and very good ones!), another universe that he co-created with Christopher Golden has never been in action figure form: Baltimore. If I knew anything about customizing figures, Lord Baltimore would be the first figure I would try to make (I did make a Baltimore lego figure, though!)
. I know I'm not the only one who wants Baltimore figures, as I remember someone wrote into the letter column with a suggestion for Baltimore figures, and vampire ones with detachable heads.
First of all, Lord Baltimore himself would make a great design for an action figure. He carries a ton of weapons, so he could come with all sorts of accessories. I'd like to see a few swappable heads; maybe one standard grim expression head, one angry head, and one "battle-damaged" one. His overcoat could be made of a fabric material (like the Gentle Giant Hellboy coat) and be removable.
Haigus, Baltimore's nemesis in the novel, would be a cool figure as well. There could be several heads; one younger vampire head from the first half of the story, one older, gaunt head from the later half, and one head snarling with vampire teeth. I suppose he wouldn't have much in the way of accessories. I'd also like to see a figure of Haigus in bat form (one head without scar, and one head with).
There are plenty of supporting characters that could show up eventually, too. Baltimore's friends, random vampires, Judge Duvic, the armored diving suit zombies from The Plague Ships, and plenty of other characters.
Truthfully, I'd be satisfied with just Lord Baltimore. Haigus would be an easy enough custom figure to make, and pre-existing vampire figures would work well for vampiric enemies for Baltimore. I hope a Baltimore figure happens eventually!
