Buck Rogers 1/6th! Some good news and some bad news...

[Darklord Dave]

A 1/6th Buck Rogers! From GoHero? Based on the 1920s comic strip and not the ultra-cool/campy 80s TV show?

Buck Rogers 1/6 Scale Figure:
Of the many iterations and derivatives of Buck Rogers, never before have the classic designs been captured in a 1/6 scale figure. This limited edition, fully articulated figure will come equipped to defend the Earth with a die-cast jet pack, working visor, removable helmet, a scale version of the amazing Atomic Disintegrator, and more!

Sounds cool to me. Whats the bad news?

 

[galactiboy]

That its not Gil Gerard

 

[pixletwin]

I dunno. That custom Les did of .... the name escapes me.. it was for Bob Burns. If they look anything like that, I think they would be awesome.

[galactiboy]

Don't get me wrong, the classics will kick major ass... but I grew up with the Gil Gerard show. So, for me figures from that series would be awesome!

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

No Gil Gerard =

I need Gil, Erin Grey and Twiki, bidi bidi bidi.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Yea, that was my point. The classic could be cool, but I'd have prefered Gil.

 

[wookster]

I too remember Gil Gerard from the... how can I put it nicely... ***** 80's sub Star Wars, sub Battlestar Galactica, TV series (don't get me wrong, I liked it, I even have a full bubblecard set somewhere to prove it) but I also grew up watching the old B/W Saturday morning Buster Crabb (he also played Flash Gordon), so I'd actually rather see the old B/W figures more!

 

[galactiboy]

Yea, that was my point. The classic could be cool, but I'd have prefered Gil.

Yes, because with Gil you also get...

 

[Darklord Dave]

Yes, because with Gil you also get...

I assume that red x is supposed to be Erin grey? I'm hoping it's not Twiki...

 

[galactiboy]

Weird, I can see the image... but yes Erin Grey

Maybe you have to be signed in or something - or they block hot linking.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I'd also like to have a 1:6 Gil as Buck Rogers. And that Grey pictures brings back memories. I sure had a crush on her when I was growing up.

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, I have to admit I had a crush on her as well... even carried over to her being on Silver Spoons.

 

[Batty]

Is that a blaster in her holster or something else?

 

[Masao]

It could be done. There would need to be enough interested parties though.

 

[Ironman1188]

I'd love figures from the Gil version!!

 

[DarthNeil]

Yea, that was my point. The classic could be cool, but I'd have prefered Gil.

As would I... but more specifically...

See where I'm going with this?

But seriously, I'd love for SIDESHOW to do a "Classic 70's/early 80's" sci-fi line. BSG, Buck, Space 1999...etc.

And Logan's Run, V, POTA tv series, Fantastic Journey, Six Million Dollar Man, UFO.....
