So, here's an idea I had pop into my head several years back and unlike most of my ideas, I haven't forgotten about it since then, so it must be a decent one, especially considering my low attention span...
Okay, basically the idea is a series in a "live action" style comic book form using photos of my old Battle Beast toys. For the uninitiated, Battle Beasts were a series of small action figures that were basically animal-like humans in body armor that were introduced in the late eighties.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Beasts In my series the Battle Beasts are alive and aware that they are toys. The first story arc would be the main character trying desperately to get a reboot/revival of the franchise so that he can relive his "glory" years. The task is made more difficult by waves of ambivalence, apathy, and the not-so-useful "help" he gets from his often idiotic companions.
Although the premise is "silly adventures of plastic toys" the series is really about nostalgia, self-identity, and longing for a past that may not have really been as great as you might remember it.
Course, there are some problems with the idea. One, they already beat me to the punch. I did some research, and it turns out they DID reboot Battle Beasts a few years back (note, I originally got the idea waaaay before that happened.) So I guess I'll have to make the series take place a half a decade or so back.
And two, I don't know.. wondering if maybe like a lot of my ideas, they might be a little too esoteric to find any kind of appeal. I mean, it's a bit of a niche within a niche within a throwback kind of a thing. Bit like my "Radiation High" idea or the Dr Kaidian Necromancy and Body Transplant website I used to have up. (And if you remember that thing, God bless you, you really need more hobbies...) :)
