[EVILFACE]

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

I'd be down for Logans Run, V,Six Million Dollar Man and the disco Buck Rogers.

A line of 70's/80's sci-fi characters as well as 70's/80's cops would absolutely ROCK!!!

Now THIS is the William Shatner we need.

 

[Ironman1188]

Well, he was Hooker longer than Kirk... And the TJ license would garner us a James Darren from Time Tunnel and a Richard Herd from "V" , not to mention Heather Locklear!!

 

[Masao]

The ideal body for Deering would not be a Sideshow though. Maybe a Yamato.

 

[Ironman1188]

Well, there are enough talented people here that we might be able to get enough folks together to get some classic 70's/80's sculpts, aren't there?

Here are some updates:

SDCC EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT:

To celebrate 80 years of Buck Rogers, Go Hero will offer 80 hand-made "proto" mini Atomic Disintegrator Pistols! Each plastic mini-gun is a perfect 1:6 scale of the original pistol, literally cast from soft prototyping molds, assembled with clear red chamber window, and painted gold + black - ALL BY HAND! Each gun is packaged and hand numbered for $25 each.

And the financial damage on Buck: $175

-Not terrible, but pretty high for an untested 1/6 company. The proto looks to be well worth it, but I'm worried that the final product might not meet expectations.

Buck Rogers 1:6 Scale Figures:
MSRP $175 + S&H

Of the many iterations and derivatives of Buck Rogers, never before have the original designs been captured in an authentic 1:6 scale figure.

Are there any proto pics up yet, or do we have to wait until SDCC?

Well if they got rid of his gun, he would only be $150

 

[DarthNeil]

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

AND Erin Grey.... Oh.. don't make me start posting Erin Grey disco pics from the 70's again...

Go to the gohero website, they have proto pics of the disintegrator ray and Buck. He looks real badass.

i don't know. DID's figures have metal guns and parts and leather and they're only $60. having a metal helmet and gun and an LED isn't worth another $120. i could care less about the wooden box. go hero makes some nice designer toys but 1/6 figures don't garner designer toys prices. pass big time. i'd think about it if he were $80 or below

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Looks great!

Cool music also on that site!

 

[EVILFACE]

Kewl, but not 175 kewl. I'd pay $125 for him.

Yes, but this will be more limited... and some designer 1/6 figures (DIG and Apexplorers) are more like $200. So, for me I really like the figure and would love to have a classic Buck Rogers so I can rationalize the price.

 

[papa-alpha-charlie]

the rocket pack lights up. that is pretty cool.

 

[wookster]

That looks fantastic. If only Product Enterprises had made their 1/6 'Space Vixens' instead of the now 'proposed' statue (https://www.productenterprise.com/ir/sv_fb.html ), this would've looked great with it.
Still, this is very tempting, love his rocket pack!
