After looking at your past Animal House figures, I was thinking, why don't you guys do some Office Space figures in that caricature-ish style? The movie does have an enormous cult following, and I'm sure any office drone would want one. I don't think a line would be able to get us Samir, Michael, Lawrence, the Bobs, Tom, or any of the supporting guys, but maybe we could get Peter, Joanna (for Jennifer Aniston fans), Milton, and Lumbergh. I mean wouldn't this be a cool line?

What was the name of the guy that said "I'm going to burn this place to the ground"? Great movie.

Dude, those sold HORRIBLY. I can't imagine these figures would sell either. It's a popular and a great film, but not action figure material.

Milton. God, that movie had so many great lines. Still, rights for OS might not be too expencive, and as long as the marketing is right, I can't see these doing terrible. I mean, look how many red Swingline staplers they sold. But I suppose that Nut Bunnies is right, these aren't exactly "action figure material".

And another line from a deadpan office satire that I think would do good would be Dilbert. They would have to be a little smaller so they could come with their own cubicle. We could have Dilbert, Wally, Alice, Pointy-Haired Boss, Dilmom w/ Dogbert, Catbert, & Ratbert, Asok, Loud Howard (I mean, he did have a couple of episodes in the animated series), Garbage Man, Bob the Dinosaur, and so on and so forth.....

I'd buy 'em too! Especially a Michael Bolton figure with fax machine (made to break apart ;) ) and baseball bat accessories! :D

And Milton..... yeah, set the building on fire. http://anthonyheald.com/smileys/devilfire.gif
