I know that most of the pre-Nolan era movie characters haven't gotten the 6" figure treatment yet but I'm pretty sure Max Shreck is the only villain from those movies who didn't get a figure at all over the years (not counting the one from the BR Lego set). Hell, even Bob from B89 got a figure.When McFarlane eventually gets around to doing Burton figures, I kind of hope he does Christopher Walken too.
Not a key member of the rogues gallery, but what a look that character had…
I liked Tracey Walter's performance but I have to ask myself who the heck would buy an action figure of Bob? Wonder how many it sold?I know that most of the pre-Nolan era movie characters haven't gotten the 6" figure treatment yet but I'm pretty sure Max Shreck is the only villain from those movies who didn't get a figure at all over the years (not counting the one from the BR Lego set).

It pays to be friends with Jack Nicholson.
I guess they made him because they wanted a little more variety than just Batman and Joker to give kids one more bad guy for Batman to beat up. That was also before Kenner took over and started padding out the line with multicolored Batman variants.I liked Tracey Walter's performance but I have to ask myself who the heck would buy an action figure of Bob?

He'll also have a husband.He's the Burtonverse's Boba Fett. One day he'll get his own web-original miniseries where it's revealed he survived the gunshot and became a freelance hitman anti-hero.
Interesting to recall that both Burton movies already had their female leads cast and then faced circumstances that forced a recast. I could maybe imagine Sean Young as Vicki Vale, but Bening as Catwoman… I don’t know.
If one of the scoopers tried to tell us about something like that happening now, we’d never buy it.I like the story of how she made her own Catsuit and stalked Tim Burton on the Warner Bros lot while he hid in a closet lol
I think Basinger did fine work, but it really wasn’t a stand-out performance like Pfeiffer, so I have to imagine that subbing in Young wouldn’t have caused a huge shift one way or the other.I don't think we missed out on anything with Sean Young not playing Catwoman since Pfeiffer knocked it out of the park but I do have to wonder how her take on Vicki Vale would have been in comparison to Basinger's.
Vicki wasn't exactly the most substantially written character in 89. She mainly screamed and got kidnapped.I think Basinger did fine work, but it really wasn’t a stand-out performance like Pfeiffer, so I have to imagine that subbing in Young wouldn’t have caused a huge shift one way or the other.
But it is funny to realize that the leading lady recast issue continued into Forever, given that Rene Russo was going to be Keaton’s Chase Meridian before he stepped away.
I'm just mostly curious if there'd be less screaming if Sean Young played Vicki.I think Basinger did fine work, but it really wasn’t a stand-out performance like Pfeiffer, so I have to imagine that subbing in Young wouldn’t have caused a huge shift one way or the other.
