Here's the rest of it:

Greetings Collect-O-Boys + Girls Who Like Toys,

Spring has sprung. The grass has ris'. I wonder where my Buck Rogers is! The figures are actually being assembled now! I should have final photos shortly, and will post them along with Cody, Skeleton, and others we have coming along. When Buck is ready to ship, I will notify you folks who may have changed credit cards, addresses, or political affiliations before we charge it. ALSO - I am super proud to let you in on a little secret that is brewing about this figure. This Buck Rogers figure is being considered for induction into multiple museums right now. I will announce when it is finalized, but I wanted to share that news with you as it is a bit of a boost after having waiting for so long.

PRE-ORDERS: We are still taking Pre-Orders for Buck Rogers now as well as on Flash Gordon, coming later this year. We will be taking preorders next month on a few items we have shown. As always with preorders, we do not charge until it is ready to ship. And we will try to spread out the projects so we do not completely lay waste to your wallet.

The Buck Rogers Atomic Pistols are HERE! Do not miss out on this amazing piece of science fiction history! Each piece comes with Individually Stamp Numbered Metal Pistol, Electro Gold Plated Metal Finish, Sparking & Popping Mechanism, Adjustable Flint (w/ Spare Flints), Hand Crafted Mahogany Finished Recycled Maple Box, Laser Etched Box Graphics, Magnetic Seals on Box Lid, Numbered Die-Cast Emblem Inlayed on the Box Lid, Fitted Black Display Mold, Reproduction Die-Cast Buck Rogers Figurine, Reproduction 1937 Patent Drawing, Reproduction Box Style Sleeve w/ Vintage Graphics, Numbered Certificate of Authenticity, and Orange Safety Plug (for you people who have to take it outside and play). For wholesale, please contact DKE, but hurry!

NYCC Wrap Up: Thank you to Winston and Martin at Executive Replicas, to everyone who stopped by, chatted, and took pictures! (Even that weird dude with the funny t-shirt who would not leave - you know who you are!) We made quite a splash and were told several times we had the most exciting products! Check out the video from our friends at Big Kev's Geek Stuff and some coverage from the latest issue of ToyFare! Please send any other photos you find and we will post them! I want to answer the top 3 questions I got...

1 - The Cyclops is huge and we do not have a price yet, but will soon! (Is it worth the price going higher if we have an electronic eye? Let me know!)
2 - The Astronaut and Space Pod are being released by Executive Replicas. Go Hero will have an exclusive version!
3 - Yes...that is my actual wife and not someone paid to make me feel important.

GO HERO FRIENDS: Each month I plan to showcase a few items or factoids I think are noteworthy by companies that are doing interesting work. This may include news from one of our licensors, admiration of a competitor (Hot Toys Joker is Amazing!), or even something weird that I think is interesting yet irrelevant. Let's start now...

Our partners at Bluewater Productions are releasing stories by the one and only William Shatner! Take a look at these all new comics from this Pop-Culture icon! And...have you seen Female Force? While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, I am more than a little curious about seeing Sarah Palin mind controlling Alaskan volcanoes to explode! Hillary Clinton with "Pantsuit Powers"! And Michelle Obama who...um...what does she do? Apparently she know how to sell out comics everywhere! These may end up being record breaking comics for an indy comic company! GO

FIRESIDE CHAT: I have gotten a lot of calls from customer, cohorts, friends, and supporters that want to know what has been happening with the Buck project. For those interested in the full details of this now epic production, I will be writing my account where I explain how we literally got sabotaged by competitors in cahoots with our now former factory. It will be a long story of leverage, litigation, and lies, but I promise you that it ends with the good guys crossing the finish line. The film rights to my story, entitled "To Make a Buck", are still available. I would like to be played by the Darby O'Gill era Sean Connery - fresh faced, full of vim and vigor. Before he got all sophisticated with the spying and the what not. Seriously, thanks for hanging in there with us. We are working through it all now and will be on track with all the future projects!

Until next time...have fun with your taxes and beware...someone “Merciless” in coming!,

Now I know what Chase is talking about. Words can be very hard.

I find this particularly intriguing. Hopefully a leak will appear and we can condemn the guilty party.

 

[galactiboy]

I wondered about that as well... espionage and intrigue always make for more interesting collectibles

 

[creecher]

Industrial sabotage is rife everywhere. It's the lynching that's the fun part. We never get to hear it because of the further litigation and clauses that forbid further mention, in settlement cases.

 

[yruh8n]

If the guilty party is the who I think it is, it wouldn't be the first time they have done something like that.

 

[creecher]

Well name names. If they've done it before their guilty of when they did it. Names.

See your post above. The situation I heard about is supposedly in litigation. However the damaged party is expected to scream bloody murder once the legalities are over.

 

[creecher]

Yay. Who are the parties involved. It's okay to name them, yeah? Names And when it's over tell us who won or who lost whichever is the least likely to litigate for telling.

Hmmm, me wonder if this is all about what me thinks it is.

 

[galactiboy]

I remember hearing about triad having issues with their body design being copied. Maybe same culprits involved with the issues here.

 

[ProgMatinee]

i hope its not a company i like.
