Here's some pics of the damage to my Buck figure:

paint rubbed off the nose from the visor in the down position

A couple pics of a Hot Toys head and neck adapter on Buck's body. The HT neck fits perfectly onto the Atom body.

I thought I'd snap these pics before I ship Buck back to Steve. I'm sending the whole figure back because of all the problems I had.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Why? Did you drop yours or almost drop yours?

no. but I can imagine even a fall from a few feet onto carpet will destroy the glass helmet and its top heavy, so I can see these being broken frequently.

Are you returning yours to get another Buck or are you getting a refund?

Hope these problems don't effect future sales and figure productions negatively. Looks like a great figure overall, just some issues getting them to customers undamaged.

 

[ProgMatinee]

i hope their shipment to ssc doesn't have pervasive problems because that will certainly strain the business relationship.

 

[samueljd]

I'm returning it for a replacement, because this is a must have for me. The QC and packaging seem to be the problems in this first release from a new company. I think the figures wonderful, damages aside. I don't know if the use of the soft, thin rubber is a wise choice to emulate leather, but I'll be carefull with it.

So I just got the mp3 player working and it is one of the coolest features ever on a figure. It's weird, eventhough it's using modern technology to achieve the result, listening to the old radio show REALLY adds to the sense of nostalgia with this figure. Truly AMAZING1

It already has the old radio show on it?

Yep! You just have to switch it on using the switch on his side and then hit play on the remote. It works like a charm!

Nice I cant wait to get home and try it out.

Holy crap! I didn't even know he had a switch on his side. I'll give it a try.

I like the Dean head on it better

I know! I was thinking of leaving him that way. I was going to sell the Dean head and some other parts from the figure, but after I tried it on the Atom body, I kinda like it that way.

Well, the toy gods must have been looking out for me... I got my Buck today and he is in tip top shape! Maybe my ulcer will leave me alone now!

Congrats! It's been hit or miss with this figure.

Good to hear that yours arrived safely. I tested my MP3 player tonight and it works fine other than my computer does not recognize the player but I can listen to the radio show which is pretty cool.

 

[saintsyn]

Maybe I spoke too soon! The MP3 is giving me some trouble. I think I've got the thing turned on correctly, but I can't seem to get it to work... Any tips from those that have used it?

I'm posting this question for a guy from OSW...

I read on Sideshow Freaks that the Go Hero Buck Rogers figure is out. Anybody here got the figure? I'm curious as to the articulation and sturdiness of the figure (I'm not a member of Sideshow Freaks so I couldn't post the question there).

Once the packages reach the US they get delivered by the regular USPS - right?
The EMS tracking page for my order shows an attempted delivery yesterday but
there was no indication of it at my house.
