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

[Darthrazz]

Remember when the Buck Rogers series turned into Star Trek? They had a ship and traveled through space discovering new planets and introducing spandex to new civilizations!

And he's up for sale here.

 

[galactiboy]

Surprised he's being sold at a dealer... hopefully we can get him somewhere with a 10% discount.

 

[customizerwannabe]

Overpriced but ubercool. I'm in.

 

[Les Walker]

VERY DAMN COOL! I love and so prefer the ORIGINAL idea characters over the sleazy 70's iterations....THIS is frickkin' Buck Rogers! I want one!

(Note to Pixletwin, I made a Spy Smasher and Purple Monster set for Bob Burns, and you can bet he will get this guy too!)

 

[galactiboy]

This figure is definitely up your alley Les, I'd be flabbergasted if you weren't in for one.

Are these being shown at SDCC? I did not see them yesterday. Go!Hero is not
listed among the exhibitors.

 

[galactiboy]

According to their website the would be there... but I think they were sharing a booth with someone.

Natalie Portman's Episode II outfit was reminiscent of this.

WILLLLLLLMAAAAAAA!!!!

 

[customizerwannabe]

They have the Flash Gordon license too. Can't wait for some cool Buster Crabbe items!

I'ld prefer 1/6th figures from the TV show, but this retro figure looks pretty cool. If you are into old school Buck check out this statue that was at the Dark Horse booth at SDCC

That's sweet. How much was it? Love the old school stuff.

I also loved seeing Pamela Hensley as Princess Ardala and Markie Post.

Pamela Hensley never played Markie Post, she only played Ardala.



Seriously though:

If we could find a company that could manufacture items like heads, there is enough talent here to make anything we want. Hint hint.

I saw them yesterday and took a look at the proto-types and they looked pretty cool. I ended up buying one of the atomic disintegrators because it looked great even at 1/6th scale. I'm on the pre-order list.

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!

This is the Iconic 80,s Buck I agree with galactiboy... Bring Gil on......

I like the classic Buck and would also kill for 1:6 versions from the TV series. By the way, anyone seen buck lately?

I'm guessing his White Spandex wearing days are long behind him?

God, I hope so.

God, I hope so.
