He is much harder to find now. Just seems those who have him want to keep him. I see them pop up on the bay from time to time. Patients. That's where I got my EX.

Well, I'll be trying my best to find him. It seems like all the PFs I want are really hard to find. ARGH!

I absolutely love this movie . A few pictures of my recent pick up . Medicom The Rocketeer 2.0View attachment 159647View attachment 159646View attachment 159645

Man I'm annoyed I didn't pick this up when I had the chance when the prices were reasonable! I'll be on the fence until I get one at a decent price. In the mean time I think I'll have to get this guy as it looks pretty sweet for a 6" figure!

Would love to see a custom head sculpt of Billy Campbell and separate helmet for the Medicom 1/6 figure. Has this been attempted yet?

 

[cokebabies]

I'm all for an all-nude remake of The Rocketeer.

Billy Campbell dong is fine with me, if we're getting Rocketeer-era Jennifer Connelly.

I don't think these are hitting US shelves yet, but we're darn close.

I have a friend going to Disney this week. He's on the lookout for any Rocketeer merch.

just a heads up for the Rocket-Heads... specifically those that are fond of the Big Bad Guy - "Lothar".

Trick Or Treat Studios is selling a Brute Man/Creeper mask, based on Rondo Hatton. Who the 1991 Rocketeer film paid tribute to with their Brute Man look-alike Character "Lothar".

Damn that mask is crazy! Where's the rocket???

Ordered my Funko Legacy Rocketeer figure from TRU.com. Can't wait!

 

[Billy Ray]

I went back to the same TRU that I found the Firefly figures at yesterday and they had about 6 or 8. Can't believe I got all the Firefly set and the Rocketeer all in one week. Hasbro could learn a thing or two from Funko as far as distribution.

Anyway, really digging this guy too. The Secord head is not that great but I was never planning on display it without the helmet anyway. It's not terrible, he just looks a little too intense, and his eyes are kind of maniacal looking. I think it has more to do with the paint apps than the sculpt itself. Everything else is great though. I did have a bit of trouble swapping heads. The barbell piece came off with the head and I had to use pliers to get it out. Not a huge deal, and at least it's nice and sturdy, unlike the barbell piece on TWD Governor, which snapped when I tried swapping heads. Like the Firefly figures, he has clear pins in the knee joints. Paintwork is great, lots of nice little details and the joints were all good and not as tight as on some of the Firefly figures. All in all, I'd say he is a home run!

thks!

got one yesterday at my local rus in Madison, WI. great fig, do love it.
quality seems much better compared to a GOT funko legacy hound fig i got awhile back.

all seemed to have a slight dent above mouth grill in helmet, kinda catches a shadow at times making him look as tho the helmet has a stache, ha! but begins to be not as noticeable. had my choice of about 4 i think. right upper thigh swivel was stuck could feel peg being twisted inside so popped it in freezer for 10 mins then turned, fixed the paint lock issue.

in all im very happy with it, i am. is alot of fun inhand.
