I am new to forums and wanted to see what people thought of trying to get Lionhead Studios to try and make a toy line for their games. I recently sculpted and painted two potential prototypes of what maybe their Black and White 2 toys could look like. Here they are, not sure if this is the correct area to post these.

Your sculptures look cool

Not sure about the possibility of toys though for a couple of reasons.

1) The games are not current now and so there would be a much lower demand for this kind of merchandise (though I think they are cool).

2) EA published the Black & White games and I'm not sure who owns the rights for this kind of thing.

You should e-mail Sam though, they are cool and I'm sure some of the B&W dev team who are still with Lionhead would like to see them

Those are actually really . I especially like the conscience. This kind of thing would have been awesome round about the time the game was released.

But I'm sure there's still quite a number of people interested in the B&W franchise.

The only thing worse than beating a dead horse is betting on one.

Thanks, I do realize they probably aren't going to become real toys, like you mentioned before they are based off a game that is very old and its unlikely that EA would be interested in making toys based off their games. Also, sorry to ask an extremely newb question but who is Sam and what is his email? Thanks again

Thank you, the reason I didn't sculpt them when the game came out was because I wasn't a sculptor at the time and the idea never crossed my mind, but otherwise it probably would have been a better idea.

Sam is Lionhead's community manager. You can get in touch with him via the forums using his profile page.

As you can imagine he's a pretty busy guy but these are cool
