Drawing a blank. I can't think of any of today's real life people I'd like a figure of. Sure there are plenty of names in the military and civil servants (police, firemen) who you could name that are true heroes based upon the sacrifices they make daily to serve, though none of them I can name or want in plastic.
There are plenty of icons from history that I'd like to see mae, but therein lies the problem with this thread. Very few icons were true "icons" while they lived. Great men and women, yes. But their legends have been built upon their lifes work and their rememberance. I'm not saying that Bull Halsey or John Wayne weren't living legends, but that their legends grew far greater after they were gone. Figures like the Fridge or Slaughter were based on human popularity at the time, not because they were anything kind of icons but pop-culture figures that drew attention in their given fields. Don't get e wrong, I like both men an loved their figures but they really don't hold any water in today's market since they were products of the 80's and no longer appeal to any generation aside from those who lived in that era and a few small groups who appreciate "vintage" figures and characters... Man, I'm 30 and I can now use the word "vintage" to describe things that I loved in my childhood...

First time I LOL all day. Good one.
I think we should ask for a Dwayne Johnson figure. He could be the people's hero!

For a promotional figure, Dwayne Johnson gets my vote too. I've been thinking about making a custom figure and fitting him into my joe-verse somehow. You'd have to give him that 4x4 post from Walking Tall!

Call me crazy but I like to keep my Joes fictional, but if I had to pick someone I'd choose Toby Keith. So Destro can put a boot in his ass.

Well if it is a popularity contest, who is the most popular person in the world. Who has millions of adoring fans? Until about a month ago I would say the Pope. Whether you like him or not he has more followers than anybody, but Obama might have taken the top spot. But really, we all at some point wanted our John Rambo or Dutch from Predator.
