So I think it's a little unneeded to laugh at the idea of her being considered an icon.

Kayako to me wouldn't make that great of a figuart, as all she did was crawl on her hands and knees. Sadako did that too but she also got up and walked and what not. It's sort of ironic I'm saying that since I do prefer the Ju-On series over the Ringu one, but I don't know personally I see Sadako as a more of the one to go for figuart wise. Though I would kill to see a Kakihara figuart.

But there are J Horror films that are actually good that can be made into toys if they must do so. Hell, why not do various Yokai like a Kappa or Kamaitachi or something? The Ring series is mediocre at best. And I disagree. Sadako walked, but having a Kayako would be a great way to show of the posseability of a Figuart with all of the body contortions and stuff that she did in the movies. You might look at it as crawling, but I look at it as true acting by the way the actress moved her body in ways you would not expect it to. That to me is far creepier and iconic than a girl that comes out of a TV and walks like a zombie.
