This should look great with the GH Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon figures.

Cool, I just finished re-reading the Rian Hughes comics a couple of months ago.

looks interesting. what's he supposed to be?

He's an old school comic book hero friom many a long year ago-

He got a bit of reboot about 15 years ago, then dissapeared again-

This should look great with the GH Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon figures.

Agreed!

 

[ZoloWorld]

Right on!

This figure is from the British Comic Book character. The color and detail look straight out of the comic.

Here are a few more:

Dan Dare was set in 1996 and I loved the fact that the World Spacefleet Headquarters was based in Formby on Merseyside.Thanks Zoloworld for your PM.

Looks good.
Any pix that show the figure's articulation?

 

[galactiboy]

I would guess its going to be the Atom body from GoHero... very similar to a TrueType, but the neck is a bit shorter.

Left to Right: TrueType, Atom and Buck

[ZoloWorld]

That is correct

Dan dare will use the D2D Atom body with the same articulation of Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon as well as the other characters. I will have more info on this figure real soon.

Dan just landed, great looking figure really captures that retro feel. It's the action figure every British kid would have killed for in the 50's... and I have a feeling quite a few 'old kids' will be in very happy with this, very happy indeed!

 

[yodasan]

Great news! pics?

 

[wookster]

Here ya go, I've been working on the review preamble already, so the know the figure is in hand it's full steam ahead!

I'm a bit of a Dan Dare fan, so I might be a little biased, but I am loving this, never thought I'd see a Dan Dare 1/6th figure produced this well!
