about that new as-yet-unnamed hot toys 1/6th line

HOT TOYS PRESS RELEASE: "Another new 1/6th product line announcement in Jan. In this new line, all characters are real persons who are very famous and rememberable. We believe that you could recognize them from the first sight. The first character with product images will be available end of Jan"

so would the new series be classic Hollywood Movie icons? from this image of James Dean (in the movie Giant) it may seem so! i reckon this may be a line of character-figures that does not necessarily warrant an entire series of multiple-figures ala Hot Toys' Movie Masterpiece line, perhaps? figures based on screen-icons predating the 80's? starting with the 50's? (stands to reason, since they've even got a Marlon Brando, ennit? heh) *let the speculation begin* LOL
