From what I've heard, Warriors figures are going to be made by the company Neca. A source from McFarlane toys said that they would be making all your favorites. Who they are and when they'll be out I don't know.

I hope all 9 Warriors are made in the first series. Then I hope some Furies along with a High-Hat, Luthur, Cyrus, and the leader of the Punks will be made.

That's cool, I can't wait. They have made some of the best action figures in the past. I hope they make a subway carriage display set to put them in. That'd be extra cool.

Neca made the Hellraiser figures. Mercy should be a second series figure.

From a NECA Q&A Session:

The Wraith: Randy, four of my fave films of all time have never had decent figure lines. Any thoughts on making figures for these movies: The Warriors? Planet of the Apes? Road Warrior? Dawn of the Dead?

RandyF: I hear someone is working on Warriors. Not us, but someone, so one of your faves is covered. The problem with Road Warrior and Apes is that merchandise has already been made in recent memory, and didn?t sell. That turns the retail buyers off. Even if the NECA versions kick major ass, the retailers remember all the previous stuff on clearance and they blame the license not the actual product.

I'm a little disappointed in this series for not having Ajax or Snowball in it.

Good work!

I'm surprised at those, but I think it's quite good as it means there'll be a good spread through the series.

For Series 2 I'd like to see Ajax, Snow, Mercy, Orphan, Punk

Vermin better be out by series 3!!

I'd like to see Snowball, Ajax, Vermin, a High Hat, and the leader of the Punks for series 2. Series 3 should have Rembrandt, Fox, Cowboy, Masai, and Mercy. They should put 3 Warriors in every series. That would be a smart idea. Maybe have the DJ as a collectors club special.

PS The Fury better be the leader with the black and yellow.

The only thing i'm not sure about are the weapon descriptions!

Cochise never had a molotove cocktail.

I think we should be wary of this info!

Hey guys,
A little intro....My name is Marv and I'm with Mezco Toyz. We recently sent out a press release in regards to the upcoming Warriors figures and I thought you guys would like to see it:

The Warriors? Come out to plaaa-ay

The Warriors storyline takes place at night, underground, in the sub-culture of gang warfare that rages from Coney Island to Manhattan to the Bronx. Filled with tons of action, vibrant characters and timeless attitude. The movie will translate perfectly into some of 2005?s hottest action figures and a rockin? video game.

Can you DIG IT!?
About the cult classic

The place is New York City, and the streets are owned by the gangs of New York. These are the Armies of The Night. They are 100,000 strong. They outnumber cops five to one. They could rule New York. Tonight they're all out for the Warriors.

Set in a hostile, nocturnal world of neon-lit train stations, baseball-bat-wielding gang members and lethal, gun-toting women, "The Warriors" moves along at a frenetic pace. Every gang from New York?s five boroughs attend a massive meeting deep in the South Bronx. The agenda: the Gramercy Riffs have a plan to unite the feuding gangs and control the streets of New York. But something goes terribly wrong, the Warriors are wrongly accused of the assassination of the Riff?s charismatic leader, Cyrus. Now the Warriors must battle their way back to their home turf in Coney Island. Rumbling from the Bronx down to Brooklyn, the Warriors encounter opposition at every turn.

Periodically, a movie emerges that appeals to mature and younger audiences and defines a generation. Walter Hill?s 1979 street gang epic is one such film. With the era of the love child long gone, and Disco on the decline, the film summed up the fears and frustrations of the seventies youth. "The Warriors" deals with subjects that any teenager can relate to, such as the pressures of fitting in, camaraderie, and dealing with authority. Walter Hill made his directing debut with "The Warriors", a movie that treads the line between fantasy and urban reality. When the film was released, it was a major success. In the wake of the "The Warriors" success, other films have taken inspiration from it, such as Bronx Warriors, Class of 1984 and even Escape From New York.
