Another Disney pin collector?? Sweet!

Yes! Right now my pin collection focus IS the Rocketeer. But I'm aware that Disney pins are a whole collecting business of it's own.

 

[sigep756]

Right on. I'm a Haunted Mansion themed pin collector, as well as a sucker for mystery sets. Love the hobby, though now I am focusing chieflly on statues and the like.

I still make a game plan of what pins to chase when I go to WDW (which isn't all too often since I'm a Kansan!)

 

[Jay1138]

I'll be at Disney World again in August, so I'll be scoping out pins. Collectors or the secondary market are really the place to get them now.

 

[sigep756]

Yeah I agree. It seems pin production has ground to a halt. I've been really disappointed with the website releases.

Looks like there's going to be a "Captain Action" Rocketeer set.

Looks like they just took pics of the medicom one for the mock up box.

 

[Jay1138]

Score! Thanks for posting that Mark! Seems that they announced it at C2E2. Can't wait to see pics when they come available.

If they can do a respectable job on a comic version of the Rocketeer I will personally try to make producing this a profitable decision for them. What they are showing in the CA package for the pre-order is of course the movie version and is probably a slightly photo-shopped Medicom V1 Rocketeer. But a set with the comic style rocket pack, Nakona boots and jacket with epaulets would be amazing for Dave Stevens comic hero fans. And if they offer a helmet that fits over the head rather than is the head would be even more amazing. This is fantastic news.

VERY tenuously Rocketeer related, but:

Billy Campbell interviewed about recent video games:

This was a fun read, not only because it's The Rocketeer talking about games, but he actually legitimately seems to know gaming. Usually celebs are just like "I LIKE SHOOTING PEOPLE HURR DURR".

I like this I was always a fan from the original Pacific Comics!

Definitely keeping my eye on that Captain Action Rocketeer!

You're absolutely right, Billy Campbell just shot up a few more notches on my awesome-O-meter

Also, his description of a game based on The Killing is amazing. Because if you're familiar with the show - based on his description of the game, he's basically taking the piss out of the show and how nothing ever actually gets solved.

Which is awesome, as well.

New Rocketeer pin-up by Campbell.

 

[Jay1138]

New Rocketeer adventures coming May 16th!

I got a few new pins coming in the mail as well. I did a Rocketeer sketch card the other day that I'm very pleased with also.

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Sweet!

Can you post a pic of the sketch card? I'd like to see it.

 

[Jay1138]

Yeah I'll see if I can get one posted in a bit.

 

[Jay1138]

Ok, I don't own a scanner so please forgive my rudimentary art-posting skills.

Beautiful!! is/will this be in TPB?

 

[Jay1138]

Drakul, Campbell's pinup was printed in Rocketeer Adventures 2 #2 that came out last month. I might see Campbell next month and get him to sign my copy.
