Well, most of it.... All except Colonial Marine Hicks were revealed. Here is the Texas Chainsaw Massacre crappy remake Series... AKA, Movie Maniacs 7... + Robocop and Marine Hicks  Leatherface  Old Monty...  Sherrif Hoyt  Erin  And the ONE saving grace of the "series"... which will probably be the rarest  ing figure... Robocop.  12" Leatherface... Ok... now... what a crappy ing series. Robocop is a tremendous figure. Great sculpt... but its wasted in a series of bland, lifeless, boring, figures from a crappy remake film. Why didn't they just make a 4-6 figure TCM Series... and make MM7 somewhat interesting... This series sucks... the only figure I have any plans on even looking at is Robocop. |

Yeah, I do wish they just made a TCM line and put originals in MM7. Robocop is just so out of place. Anyways, they all look amazing, but the only ones I want are the normal Leatherface, Hoyt, and Robocop. Leatherface - Simply amazing, that's one of the most gorgeous figures ever, a work of art. Incredible detail, great base, and I love the pose. I really want this. Monty - Why the did they make this figure? Awful character, but a really detailed figure. Hoyt - I give this the award for best base, and that's a great pose. Amazing detail, but hey, what do you expect? It's McFarlane. Gotta have this, R. Lee's the man. Erin - Like Monty, it looks great but I don't like the character. I won't be buying this. Robo - Random and out of place, but it's beautiful. Want it. 12' Leatherface - Doesn't look as good as the regular one, and the pose stinks. Also, what kind of a base is that? Blah. I don't care what Hicks will look like, because I'm not a fan of the character and won't be buying. It's not that bad of a set, but it's just stupid that they didn't make MM7 original and give TCM it's own set. Two sets in a row, I hated the all Alien/Predator MM6 set. McF's just pissing off his fans. And I remember Frank from Donnie Darko was supposed to be in MM7, goddamnit I want that! Arrgh. |

I think Movie Maniacs needs work.
1. It needs to stray away from Horror/Sci Fi- I know thats the series roots... but they are seemingly running out of good ideas from those genres.... not saying that I don't want any more horror figures... please continue with them... but also include other things.
2. No more than 2 figures for a certain movie. If a movie deserves 3 figures... place 2 in one MM series, and 1 in the next. If it deserves 4 or more figures, then make a seres for that particular movie.

I don't want any more Shafts or the dude from Escape from LA. A TCM set would be good with those 4 and McF could make the hitch hiker and the little boy. Also, since there's usually a few bonuses on the side, there's the 12 incher and he could make a diorama of the scene where the hitch hiker kills herself in the van. |

In fairness, Escape from NY/LA are just as Sci-Fi as Robocop was. |

I think it should be open to all MOVIES, not just Horror and Sci-Fi. Hence "Movie" Maniacs.

Well like I said, I like Leathface, and will probably get it, as long as he has a bit of blood on him. Also I think the Robocop is killer. That bin, looks immense.

I'm getting Robocop and that's it. But I wish Movie Maniacs would just include Ash in Medieval armor. So then it's go with Evil Ash. Or S-mart Ash...  |

It looks like alot of TCM and the Robocop looks like the old 12' one from the early 90s.

The only one I would even consider is Robocop.
