Anyone got the Rocketeer 2.0?

[Darklord Dave]

Thanks QQB, the jacket doesn't look that much improved although there seems to be a darker wash on the rocket pack. Is that custom work or is that part of the figure?

 

[Super Poseable]

I'm still on the fence on ordering v2.0. The deal-breaker for me is whether or not this new figure can actually tilt the head back to look skyward (like the movie poster depicts!).

Hey SP, I'm listing a link to a completed listing which has a pic which SEEMS to indicate that is indeed the case, judge for yourself.

man, that's sweet....even got the bubblegum on it.....

wish I could afford it......alas, I'll probably pay 2 or 300 bucks for it a coupla years down the road.....

 

[MrBlisterfists]

oh, uhm, does the helmet come off?

 

[Mookeylama]

someone told me that on the ver 1 fig, the helmet did not come off, but on this ver 2 it does, but there's a faceless head underneath and that it'd be tough to put a head w/ sculpted hair on in it's stead. anyone confirm?

Chewing gum on the rocketpack (if you saw the movie, you'll understand)

Mauser pistol

More detailed outfit

Have I missed anything??

I think the outfit is the same (possibly tailored for a larger body).
He'll also have a couple of extra hands, at least one to hold the Mauser.

And a new better designed and more articulated body.

I own the first version, But it's still MIB. I'd love to have another that I can take out of the box and display. But That'll have to wait.

 

[Darklord Dave]

I have the first one and it sounds like the head is the same - it would be impossible to have a head with sculpted head under the helmet. I can't believe that 2.0 will be on a bigger body, Medicom has a consistant size for all their movie based figures.

 

[galactiboy]

I imagine that it would be on one of the newer/improved bodies though... I imagine the original Rocketeer is on one of their older body types.

as great as this figure looks, I don't see anything justifying a $150 price tag......

what am I missing that sets this apart from the stuff Sideshow is doing?

Absolutely nothing. The figure doesn't justify the price tag. That's my biggest gripe with Medicom and the reason I don't buy their figures. I do have the Rocketeer on order though because I always wanted one, but I'm going to be cancelling in a week or so because I just don't have the money for it right now.

I wish Sideshow would do one though. At least then it would be a reasonable price!!

 

[QQB]

I just got v2.0

I just got v2.0

Why the tears QQB? He looks pretty damn good to me. Any pics of him looking up or from behind so we can see the jet pack?

 

[Mookeylama]

jeezus u can even see the weld lines on the helmet!

i agree that Medi is over priced but i won't say overrated. Dragon, BBI, Ignite, Hot Toys all put out boxed figs ranging from $75 to $150 and many don't show the quality that Medi does. also SS seems like they keep inching their way up there. wouldn't be surprised to see prices of $75 or so for ome of their more popular 1/6 exclusives soon.

Simple, the fact that Sideshow will never produce this figure.
