Okay, not as cool as I thought - it's based on comic books not movies.


But still...

nevermind, wrong item

 

[piccolodaimaoh]

Sounds pretty cool to me especially if Ray Harryhausen has something to do with the look of the figures. Count me in.

 

[galactiboy]

Never fear Dave, I was about to post this myself... had the link saved and everything

From the cover art the designs looks very similar to the films, so I think they will be able to give us **farily** close to the films.

Their Buck Rogers figures is coming along nicely, although with all this hype I'm really worried what the final price will be.

So there's no pics yet?
Sounds cool, but I'd have to see some pics first... this could easily be Hasbro-like.

Ditto. If they are cool and have a fairly close resemblance to the film items, I might like them. For all the great companies like SSC and HT there are crappy ones like Diamond Select.

I have never heard of this company so I'm a bit skepticle.

Actually, I have these comics on my list. Of course, things like Sam & Frodo, Treachery of Saruman dio and the Ringwraith LSB mean that I haven't been able to pick up my comics in way too long! Bad Scott! Bad Wallet!

I've already shot Greedo, they MAY send Boba Fett after me!

And that also means that while I would get these, I probably can't afford them!

 

[Darklord Dave]

The Buck Rogers from Hero is shaping up nicely and I assume these Harryhausen 1/6 will be in a similar vein. It does seem Perseus' costume is similar to the movie - but will he look like Harry Hamlin? That's all I'm concerned about.

I am also on GoHero's mail list and have been watching Buck come along. I didn't post because I wasn't sure whether these Harryhausen products will be figures or statues -- 1:6 can mean many things.

I'm disappointed that Buck won't look like Buster Crabbe, but it's still a fantastic looking figure, and I did love the comic strip when I was a mere tad. I expect I'll be diving after one when pre-orders go up.

 

[galactiboy]

I'll probably snap up a Buck Rogers as well... its really looking nice. I'm just wondering what the final price will be.

 

[Rogue Trooper]

I think a skeleton warrior would be cool, loved that movie. Complete ruined the VHS rewatching Jason and the Argonauts and can't see them much diifirent from that version.

Uh...I am adding this site to my favorites if for nothing else than they have some awesome music linked up.

I would love for someone to make a 1/6 Skeleton warrior... I imagine it would be a pain to engineer a poseable one, but I'd pay for it.

It's only a matter of time until Hot Toys is forced to do some for their Pirates line.

 

[screamingmetal]

They may only be based on the comic, but I'll be looking forward to them! I hope they won't make them look like cartoon characters instead of striving for realism.
I wonder if they're going to give Perseus his own muscle body since the costume doesn't cover up a lot?
There's a ton of characters I'd love them to make from Clash of the Titans, so I hope the series is successful.

 

[galactiboy]

I guess it all depends on how invested the company is in making 1/6 figures... I'm not sure if the Buck Rogers figure will be on a new body, or if they will be working with someone else to get them made.

Be interesting to see if we have a new player in the 1/6 market.

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Some early pictures of the costume had the disclaimer "Not the GoHero Body," so I think they're doing their own body.

 

[abake]

Damn, that Buck Rogers figure looks fantastic!
How much will it be?

 

[wookilar8]

Not sure if these were shown yet. These look great, especially Sinbad. We're going to have to keep our eye on Go Hero.
