A Lord Vigo action figure shouldn't be too difficult..

I was reading up on Wilhelm Von Homburg on Wikipedia; I found it extremely depressing that the guy died pretty much penniless.

However, this also means his estate could likely use the money that would come to get the likeness approval for his action figure.

God, it's just so depressing….

Also Slavitza Jovan's likeness shouldn't be too hard to get either.

Vigo died in destitute poverty…I just find this information so painful to know…

They've already made a Gozer figure, so yes, SJ's likeness isn't hard to get.

I always used a He-Man figure to represent Vigo–irony of ironies–but I've wanted a real Vigo figure for quite some time.

Perhaps it could be packaged as a deluxe set with reversible painting backdrop and a “Vigo's Big Fat Head Holographic Projector”?

You practically read my mind! In fairness though, I think due to–sadly–the lower popularity for the sequel, we'll instead be luckier to get something along the lines of:

Lord Vigo, alt. demon head, a backdrop with interchangeable scenes: one of the giant head and river of slime, and the other with the Ghostbusters and Oscar.

Why not the painting you ask? Janosz needs to come with something!

Wilhelm Von Homburg died here in Mexico by a disease, I don´t remember what was it.

No, not really. Robin Hood doesn't look fierce enough, does he?

It should come with the picture frame and removable shoulder pads…because everyone knows the big shoulder look is out. Plus, Vigo should spout those crazy lines like the video game had.

This is how Mr. Von Homburg( AKA Norbert Grupe) looked before he passed on….

To think..this guy was once a German boxing champ.

Nah, no sound chip necessary for his figure; no other figure is getting a sound chip…kind of a lame gimmick really.

my dream set would be Lord Vigo with interchangeable demon head, painting frame with three different images( painting, giant head w/ river of slime, and Ghostbusters with Oscar), pedestal for Oscar, and….Oscar.

I'm beginning to think Oscar may either be released with Dana Barrett or possibly Janosz Poha; wow….I just realized how incredibly boring that figure combination sounds.

I'm sure Mattel will think of something cool.

maybe thats why he is in the Videogame, a Tribute to him, because everybody knows the painting was destroyed.
