Dark Shadows action figures

[ideay] Just supposing McFarlane Toys decided to come out with a line of DS figures, with the permission and profit-sharing of Dan Curtis, of course.  
If you could decide what was to be produced, which 8 characters would you choose, and from which time line?

I wish!

I'd choose early 1897 with Judith, Edward, Quentin, Beth, Carl, Magda, Barnabas, and either Pansy or Jenny-- I can't decide.

The Quentin doll should easily go from 3-piece suit to shredded shirt, dirty pants, and bare feet.  :D

This would be my list too, right down to not being able to decide between Pansy and Jenny.  On one hand, Jenny's hair and wide eyed look would be fun, on the other Pansy had really cool shoes, and remember when she whisked the table scarf off the occassional table in the drawing room and wrapped it around her shoulders(the Pansy/Charity version)?  Now there was a chick who could accessorize.

Also like your Quentin idea  :)

PLUS...the Quentin doll should be anatomically correct.

I agree!!!!!!
Plus it would be fun if they had accessories.

Barnabas-a coffin-cane-caped coat

Angelique-voodoo doll

Quentin-gramphone & brandy bottle- Plus he
could be changed to a hairy wolf version

Petofi- I-ching wands and a detachable hand

Trask- hmmm....I don't know what he'd have

Crazy Jenny- her dolls and a knife

Garth- his chains

what about that dashing and daring tim shaw??  he goes tearing into that inferno that was once worthington hall (another scene from right out of an early 50s sci-fi flick) and even has the presence of mind to do a couple of shoulder dips as the tremendous heat is about to consume him and the children. And all is well, as he returns them to a very smokey foyer of collinwood.... ;D

OHhhh!! :D Think of all the little play sets they could milk the fans for!! C'wood, Old House - even individual rooms of each, Labongatory for sure, and Blue Whale, Diner, Evans Cottage, Nick's Place, Cemetary,....

Anybody remember 'Disney-kins' - about 3 inch plastic figures from the 60's??  [loved them!] If they made them that size, they wouldn't have to worry about details as much, and make more ~ and take up less room!  I could see a whole cast  in this size 'toy' [I would love to have a whole set!]

and oh man the accessories - that's pages and pages of posts!

What a fun idea!  I'd love to see the action figures done in the style of the Mego 8" action figures of the 1970s, with cloth costumes and rooted hair.

Naturally, I would choose a Dr. Julia Hoffman figure, with lots of accessories (stethoscope, hypodermic, medical bag).  Perhaps they could even have a line of Julia fashions, with such names as "Doing Research" and "An Evening at the Blue Whale".

As for the line of life-sized dolls, how about a "Brian Sturdivant in a bellhop uniform" doll?  <lol>

Regards,

John

This sounds like fun, I suppose I would chose various characters from different times such as...

from 1795:
Barnabas with his ring, cane and coat.
Angelique with her voodoo doll and pins.
Sarah with her bonnet, flute and doll.
from 1897:
Quentin with his gramophone, brandy snifter and removable mutton chops for instant Grant Douglas.
Magda with taro cards, crystal ball and pentagram
from 1968:
Maggie Evans with blond wig, josette's dress and music box.( interchangeable with 7195 figures)
Vickie Winters with  hair ribbons, rain coat and big bird night gown.
David Collins with bleeder valve, car manual, and skeleton key.

What a fun question!

1795 dollies for me, for sure--Barnabas, Angelique, Naomi, Joshua, Ben, Josette, Nathan (ooh, that uniform!), and Countess Natalie duPres!

The costumes would be so lovely!

Love, Robin

Assuming this was an intro line and the possibility existed of future releases, I'd go with the basics:

1) 1966 Barnabas
2) 1795 Barnabas variant
3) Vicki
4) Carolyn
5) Angelique
6) 1897 Quentin
7) Maggie
8 ) Julia
