could anyone give me a hint as to pictures #6 and #9?

I'm pretty sure I need to know who #6 is for the answer
and maybe the same for #9 or maybe it is just 2 random chicks and thats all I need to know

I caught on the theme of this one pretty quick, I know I'm gonna hit a wall once I get all the pictures figured out though

EDIT: also exactly which rocket that is would be great because theres several rockets it could be and they all look pretty much the same :(

Well, I don't recognize some of the pictures.
One theme I do notice though is numbers perhaps. 9 (ninetails), 7 (seven dwarves), 8 (octagon), 1 (Neo, the one), don't recognize any until the octopus which would be another 8, and then Dante's Inferno which would be 9 (layers of hell). Anyone know what some other images represent?
The robot is from an 80s movie. The pair of blondes I believe are the Olsen Twins. The rocket appears to be the same one used in the Apollo mission (easy to google). The Lord of the Rings, just think of the movies (it may possibly represent a different number if we take the number of books, but it's a movie poster). The last guy is a famous Batman villain.

Edit:
Ok, reading some of the posts that were made while I wrote this I now have 9781--582-492. The rocket is likely one of the numbered named missions, so anyone know exactly what that one is? Oh, and is the robot Johny 5? if it is then it would be 97815-582-492, although I'm not sure about the 4.
The rocket is similar to the Saturn V, used in the Apollo missions.

9,7,8,1,5,?,5,8,2,11,2,9,2 is what I have so far, but any of these could be incorrect
9-tails, 7-dwarves, the 1, Johnny 5, ?, high-5, 8 legs, two people, Apollo 11 (assuming it is, I wouldn't know), 2 towers, 9 levels of hell, 2 face

The robot in picture 5 is from the movie Short Circuit, called number 5, so his number is most likely 5. And am I crazy in thinking that the two girls in picture 9 are Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, twins, and thus would get 2 as their number.

Anyone know who the guy in picture #6 is? I can associate all the pictures with a number except him, because I have no idea who he is.

Ok, so now the only pictures I'm not sure exactly what they should represent are the guy in 6 (no idea at all who it even is), the space ship (not sure which mission that is), and the LOTR one (just because there are a few different things it may reference.

Okay, Here I what I have:
9-nine tails
7-seven dwarfs
8-octagon
1-The one
5-Number 5
9- Possibly lead of nine inch nails
5-High Five ?
8-Octopus
11-Apollo 11, could be many others though
1-The one ring ?
3-Three books in the series
2-two face
I am probably wrong on a few, and this seems much too easy.
The back ground does not seem random, seen it anywhere before?

Trent Reznor is the guy. He's famous for some band.
The rocket is most probably the Saturn V.

*Chuckle...

I think we might just have them this time, gentlemen. Took us until Day 5, true...but my guess is they all spontaneously combust long before they actually make it past the first step.

I'm constantly updating this post [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/7.250605.9322068] with as current information as I have on what the pictures contain.

So far it looks like all the numbers are less than 10, which technically makes them digits. Now we just need to figure out what to do with them. The numbers I have are:

9 7 8 1 5 9 5(?) 8 2 5(?) 2 9 2

I dunno... I remember you thinking we'd be vexed come day three. :D

Thank-you! He was the only one I didn't know! (Not much of a music buff).

Now to find out what it all means... Eeeep
