Buck Rogers 1/6 GoHero Up for Pre Order NOW

[galactiboy]

I'm hoping the skeleton will be less... I guess it depends on how many they end up making. I think Buck is on the high-end of their figures, Flash was $145 so I would guess closer to that price.

$300 is probably a good guess for the cyclops, but if it could be more... its gonna be one big mamma-jamma But, if they pull it off; it will make me want a 1/6 Rancor even more

 

[The Drizzle]

I am very impressed with the inventiveness and the seemingly high devotion to quality, and getting it right that GoHero exhibits. Of course, we won't 100% know for sure it's great stuff until folks start getting the final product, but it sure seems promising, and their communication, etc are excellent. I'm really rooting for this company, wish I could have ordered Buck, but you have to draw the line somewhere, and I have a lot preordered. I did preorder Flash, though, I'm a big Buster Crabbe fan, and the proto pics look great. Can't wait to see that Cyclops (though I won't be able to afford it)

 

[galactiboy]

So any rumblings, rumors, etc. on when we might be seeing Buck?

I'm going to combine a skeleton with a HT Jack Sparrow to make a skeleton Jack custom figure.

My guess is still March.

 

[galactiboy]

Really? Bummer... I was hoping it was only a short delay.

Really? Bummer... I was hoping it was only a short delay.

Just a guess, based on the fact that the last communication did not have
a new ship date - not even a month.

I am really looking forward to Buck shipping out and I love the changes he has made to the helmet so I can handle the delays. I think one of the great aspects of this figure will be downloading the old radio shows into the figure and listening to them with my son.

I can wait, there's a lot coming out in 1st quarter that I'm going to end up paying for in the next couple months.

 

[galactiboy]

I'm trying to build up some cash now so I can survive the onslaught

BTW, did anyone from here enter in to the OSW contest? Some fun customs... definitely check out the work if you get a chance! One lucky slob will get a free Buck Rogers figure.

Newsletter just out from Go!Hero says Buck to ship in the 2nd quarter. 2009 that is.

 

[galactiboy]

I noticed that, no email updates from GoHero. But I guess we have a bit of time before he ships from them.

 

[stickman]

I really wish I could afford these upcoming figures. In todays world they just look so cool to me. Flash should be very fun.

 

[galactiboy]

According to the recent newsletter we are now looking at a Q2 delivery from GoHero as well. Said it might be sooner, but wanted to present a worst-case scenario so they don't have to keep pushing back the date.

I for one am able to wait for quality

 

[Darklord Dave]

Since he hasn't charged cards, I have no problem waiting. Even large companies like Sideshow are having problems with manufacturers in China - so it's no surprise he's had some setbacks.

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, especially with this being their first 1/6 figure and a newly developed basebody.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I want to see the prototypes of the fantasy stuff!!

 

[kain4521]

Did anybody get any good pics of Buck from NY?

I'm glad Go Hero took the worst case outlook, so they wouldn't disappoint. I know they are putting a lot of effort in these new figures that have such dedication put into them. Hopefully they will have be available sooner than later, but I can wait if necessary.
