New from Medicom; Rocketeer re-release.

[screamingmetal]

I guess this is good for anyone who missed out on the first release. Bad for those that paid a lot of money for the first one.

I'd just like to know if Sideshow will be carrying it?

 

[Killbeggar]

Friggin sweet! :eek Wish I could afford it.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Thanks for the link! Let me try to find out something about their plans for the NGE line. I really want to know if we can expect more characters from NERV.

 

[Darklord Dave]

And now he comes with the Mauser. Gee, if I cared about how limited something was this would be a slap in the face and a kick up the backside.

If I'd paid upwards of $400 for this guy I'd also be a bit put out too.

 

[Shai]

I dont own it..but IMO ,one of the best medicom figures ever...

 

[moebius9]

I've got the original, it's one of my all time favorites. I ordered it early on so paid whatever the retail was??? $120 or so, I forget. This one is cooler with the mauser though. I don't know if I have it in me to get a new one with all the SSC product I have on order now though.

 

[Collector Freak]

What does the face look like?

 

[SnapJimmy]

:eek When and where can I buy this figure ?

 

[Darklord Dave]

He has no face.

 

[Customikey]

I'll never understand the obsession with this character/figure. Ooh, a mauser.

 

[BDboystoys]

look like it does, you can see sculpted hair at the back. Or is that just apart of the helmet sculpt.

 

[Anakin]

What does the face look like?

,...better than yours for sure!...

 

[warlock664]

The helmet is part of the sculpt; it is not removeable.

 

[Darklord Dave]

The helmet IS removable, but it's just a blank face so the helmet will fit better. The hair that appears under the helmet is the only part of the head that is sculpted and painted.

 

[warlock664]

Hmm, I stand corrected; I've had mine out of the box only a few times, and had forgotten. Upon closer examination, the helmet IS a seperate piece, but was obviously never intended to be removed, as it seems to be glued to the head underneath (at least it appears that way; I don't intend to pull hard enough to find out). It's a nice enough figure, the costuming is great, especially the rocket pack, but he's a bit smallish next to other 1/6 scales. If they had been able to engineer a removeable helmet with Cliff Secord's head underneath, I would have liked it more. I paid around $175, as I recall, and felt a bit foolish after seeing it. Now that they're re-issuing it, I also feel a bit cheated that I won't have the mauser; I wonder if they might make it available seperately for those who own the original?

 

[warlock664]

I just noticed, it appears the gripping, gloved hands are new as well. My original came with a second set of hands, but they were bare hands, not gloved. Did all the first issues come this way (with a 2nd set of flesh-toned hands) ?

LMAO... QUOTE OF THE DAY !!!!!!

 

[Darth Kustomizer]

A great figure indeed! In fact, I have two of them.

 

[bluesparrow]

When are these going up for preorder(anywhere, not necessarily sideshow)?

LOL! I gotta see that!
