I can definitely see future toys with numerous Gabe/Tycho variants... if there's articulation, I will buy them all. Or, if not articulation, at least bendables...
This may be a little strange, but I would like to see some classic characters like the Zombie that is dressed like Tycho, Saftey Monkey, Bat Jew, and that game store manager Frank.

Since the CTS doesn't really fit into the standard scheme, I would rather see him included in a set with characters from his stories. That way, they could include characters that fit in with Tycho and Gabe.
While I will likely buy the figs no matter what, I sort of hope they are InAction figures. Figures with points of articulation always look sort of shitty imho. However beautifully crafted figs that hold a single pose always look awesome. You just have to use your imagination if you intend to play with them.
Tell ya what I do like though. A killer. A dyed in the wool killer-- coldblooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer when he picked up the ZF-1 would have immediately asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.
Gotta throw in my vote for Jesus a la der hornen. With a fried twinkie in the other hand, and maybe blue sparks along the hem of his robe.
Set 1: Gabe, Tycho, Jesus, Annarchy, Charles: "The Gamers"
Set 2: Brenna, Kara, Zombie, Frank, Hector: "The Family". (I mean, c'mon, we all know Frank is our crazy uncle, right?)
CTS might best be served as a stand-alone product, perhaps with various thugs to beat up and diarama background sets. (w00t merchandising)
I really like TheGeek's idea for releases of figurines. I'd hate to see Kara and Brenna get left out of the action figure thing. And it would be a good idea to release all the original humans at the same time. Whether you put Charles or Annarchy in the first release is a tough one, if you go along those lines. But, I also agree that the kid Annarchy is based on would be so honored to have an action figure...that would be a really awesome gesture, plus the character is freakin' cool anyway.
Yeah...but still...PacMan watch is a must, people.
Ok, I'm done.
Addendum: The "Accessory pack". Small items that might feel "rippish" if sold to-scale as a character in a 5-pack. Cat, Div, bucket on wheels, pac-man skateboard, cardboard tube, radioactive scorpion, computer, "customer appreciation bat" (if not included with Frank), pig and wax, cowboy hat... monkey, and of course, the Necrowombicon. Probably would have "licensing issues" if you did a named console.
Question. Are these going to be action-figure style toys, with points of articulation and movement? Or will they be more McFarlane-style mini-statues that remain immobile?
If possible, they should have hands that can hold accessories - a cardboard tube is obvious, but maybe a merch doll for Annarchy or a spinfusor for Jesus might be in order as well. Would Nintendo let you have permission for a tiny DS accessory for Gabe and/or Tycho?
Psst, Mr. Gabe. Don't listen to them. As the poll shows, only 2 percent of them are clean. Licked so clean. Clean is the way we like it, yes? A vote for Hector is a vote for licked-clean balls*.
*im not going to lick anyones balls, dammit.**
**unless you're cute.
Obviously Jesus with Der Hornen is a pretty big shoe-in (sp?), but dammit if I don't want Dreamcast in there; maybe with a cardboard box house and an alcohol bottle in a brown paper bag.
I really hope that Merch stuff also means Fleshreaper stuff. How can anyone not love Fleshreaper? I love Fleshreaper best! It has bat wings! And fangs! And it's a black cube thingy! And it hurts people!
Also, I would like some Fleshreaper T-shirts, like its first appearance, or its silhouette against the moon, in Ladies sizes please. And a pony.
I'm going to have to say Brenna and Kara. They've been there since the beginning, are hilarious, and would give the first package a sort of "PA family" feel, (even moreso if another oldschooler like Charles were the fifth.)
I would rather have the CTS saved for something like an "elseworlds PA," that could also include "Deputy John Gabriel," and "nuclear-scorpion irradiated Tycho" and the like.

Good call, good call.
I concur.

I also favor the idea previously put forward in this thread to have Zombie.
I find myself with a sudden, visceral desire to posess these objects. It's amazing, to go from sudden ignorance of a thing, to a burning need for them to be produced and appear on one's doorstep.
The first box set should be the original cast (Tycho, Gabe, Brenna, Kara and Charles. The CTS should have his own action figure. Jesus, Annarchy, and everyone else should be in the second box set. Then you can do a set as the evolution of PA. Toys of Tycho and Gabe based off of the evolution of your drawing style since day one. From what I can remember there's only really been 3, maybe 4 distinctively different styles that you've drawn PA.
I apologize in advance for not reading all 10 pages of peoples comments, but anyways... Wouldn't it be silly to put out the first 5 toys without Charles? He's one of the bigger sort-of original characters. I understand the need for newer characters (Annarchy) cuz they're popular right now, and that'd help with sales. But I feel as though Charles is getting overlooked a little.
Having a CTS figure would be like having two Gabes in the first line.
CTS should be released in a future batch.
Exactamundo. There's no need to blow your wad on the first batch. Save the CTS for the 2nd batch and it'll sell like hot tamagotchis. And like others have said, two Gabes (sort of) in one batch is a little weird.

I'm kinda disappointed they Don't have "Dev" or there Wifys as an option.
Come on Charles!
With tube, cat, ipod, hat and halo accessories.
Jesus is F***ing metal
"Chatty little bitch wants talk he should get on IRC"
words to live by oh holy one.
Thank you The Geek! You must have either read my post or my mind, not sure which is more likely, but you never dissappoint!
That would be cool if it was a plush doll, like the one in the office.
Oh the awesome fun I would have with a Safety Monkey action figure. Please, please, please?
As it is I'm already going to have to buy the whole five-figure set just to get a Jesus throwing the horns figure to set on the soundboard at church.
Woo!
Set 1: Gabe, Tycho, Jesus, Annarchy, Charles: "The Gamers"
Set 2: Brenna, Kara, Zombie, Frank, Hector: "The Family". (I mean, c'mon, we all know Frank is our crazy uncle, right?)

...what? Didn't you guys ever melt or blow up G.I. Joes?
...well that's my 2 cents, enjoy!
Also, Geek, if you'll recall, Ari made a Leviathan plush/pillow too.
Or just the claws inside a can like my avatar... :P
