The 2 point of light I would have to add is this
1) 60′s Batman series BATCOPTER!

Long overdue subject would make a fine selection to your
Batman line-up.

2)GREEN HORNET BLACK BEAUTY

Since you folks did a AMAZING job with the 60′s Batmobile I
think an improved GH Black Beauty would do well. The old
Aurora kit was ok but to me always looked like a toy. We
really could use a solid effort on this T.V. Hero car.
Maybe in the same scale as your new batmobile.

Man that was a great team-up!!!

Logical, fiscally wise, and consumer drivin. Sound choice.
Also like the idea of it being molded in clear. Great for
Lighting.

The only thing I could offer suggestion wise that is would be
To offer some minor additional parts;

DOMINION WAR DS9 ERA HEAVY WEAPONS UPGRADES
* Docking pylons rotary torpedo launchers
* Weapons sail towers
* Retractable Phaser bank pods

In this way it would really distinguish this version from
The original release without a doubt.

Down the road you could offer a mini ship set in scale with
This kit for example;

Klingon of prey
Nebula class starship
Oberth class starship
Bajoran transport
( these suggestions were based on what ships were
Frequently docked at the station during DS9 visual clips)

Keep up the fine work Jamie H!!!

But it sounds like it’s going to be a cool year all around for R2 Models.

The line in the recent newsletter about archivists stumbling across that ‘future-car’, it must be like Carter stumbling across Tut’s Tomb, there’s an archaeological nuance. I bet it’s a fun time with some interesting finds when exploring decades of product catalog.

Maybe you could mention that in one of the daily logs? Presumably, the archivist brings a top 10-20 confirmed tools and you guys whittle that down into immediate release, later, next year, never, etc.

How did that MPC future car come to be chosen over some other option, as an example? Based on sales of that are you considering a themed-line of ‘future’ cars from the 60′s or other themed-kit lines? That could be cool.

A line of all movie cars would be cool. The Bond cars stand out as an obvious example. You don’t have to call it the Bond line, but simply packaging those particular car kits into groups of releases or themed packaging of the kits you already have in the catalog. Or repop a few per year, ‘The Movie Pack’ for that year, mentioning what movies they are from.

If you continue doing figures like 3 Stooges, Kiss and Sgt Peppers, I’d like to see a Classic Hollywood line. It’s be like a Monster kit line, but instead of the top five monsters or all time, it’s the likes Bogie, Bacall, Garbo, Grant. All of them. Pick any 5 or 10 classic stars of the era.

Lots of cool diorama kit options too. I don’t know how sales are, but the Bates Motel was a great idea. Imagine “Rick’s Cafe” frontage in 1/25 to possibly go with any 1940′s car kit you have. Or basically pick any moment from Casablanca alone for a great 1/8 diorama kit. Cheap on the licensing as they are all 70yr old properties? Any 5 films from any 5 stars could yield a nice product line that feeds itself.
