Default We need a line of good "X-files" action figures

Hey guys - though I'm not sure how many action figure fans there are on this board, I'm guessing there may be some, since sometimes movie & toy fans go hand in hand. In any case, due to the extreme popularity of the X-files on Blu thread in the "Wish list" section, I wanted to post an edited version of a thread I posted to another site years ago re: my long-wanted "X-files" figure line.

Re: figures based on the show, there really haven't been that many - so far, all we've seen were a line of McFarlane toys figures devoted to the 1998 film (which I'm not really counting), as well as a more recent series of 12" dolls/figures based on some of the main characters. There was also a "Flukeman" figure made by McFarlane toys back in the late '90's/early 2000's, but this was an Exclusive (online?) and was almost impossible to get ahold of.

While I agree that a line of "X-files" figures has the potential to be boring (since many of the main characters are just people in suits), IMHO if the focus were more on the aliens/creatures in the series, there could definitely be some interest in this line from even casual fans of the show.

Re: the company that should make these toys, I think maybe Diamond Direct/NECA would be a good choice(s), since they've both done a good job with other movie/TV related toys (i.e., Battlestar Galactica, Terminator, etc.)

IMHO, this theoretical/potential line should encompass the 9 seasons of the TV show as well as both feature films (1998 & 2008) - note that I've broken up the figures in Waves, and I have the minimum of "normal" (i.e. suited agent) characters in each wave to make it more diverse:

Wave 1:
Mulder in Suit
Scully in Suit
Flukeman (mutant in sewer from first season)
Eugene Tooms with "stretching" action (maybe his fingers could be bendable & stretch like in the show)

Wave 2:
Assistant Director Walter Skinner
Werewolf from "Shapes" episode (first season)
Jersey Devil (cave/ape man from first season)
Basic Gray alien (various episodes)

Wave 3:
"Fight the Future" green-ish large movie alien (1998 film)
Cigarette-smoking man
"Eve" twins two-pack
Rob Roberts - mutant from "Hungry" episode (S. 7)
The Great Mutato - mutant from "Post-modern Prometheus episode (S. 5)

Wave 4:
Special Agent Doggett (Seasons 8 & 9)
Male Zombie from "Folie A Deux" episode (Season 5)
Female Zombie from "Folie A Deux" episode
Insect-like monster from "Folie A Deux"

Wave 5:
Special Agent Reyes (Seasons 8 & 9)
Golem (season 4)
Chupacabra
2-headed dog from "X-files: I want to Believe" film (2008)

Wave 6:
Alex Krycek w/artificial arm
Human Bat ("Patience" episode)
Ubermenscher ("Arcadia" episode)
Vele monster ("Terms of Endearment" episode)

Wave 7:
Alien bounty hunter
Faceless rebel alien
Lizard creature (Season 8)
Monster/Demon (B. Campbell) from S.6 episode "Terms of Endearment"

Wave 8:
Frank Black - "Millennium" episode (Season 7)
Metal man/creature - "Salvage" episode (Season 8)
Soul eater - "The Gift" episode (Season 8)
Mutant man-reptile - "Alone" episode (Season 8)
