ZICA Toys Buck Rogers Tigerman Image!

[ZICA]

Thankfully I was able to get permission from the licensor to reveal one of the prototypes before the New York Comic Con and the lucky winner was Tigerman. Hope everybody likes what they see and feel free to ask questions. :grin: ZICA Toys (http://www.zicatoys.com/)

That is gorgeous. Cannot WAIT!

[MegoScott]

That is phenomenal. OMG, way to raise the stakes!

[Godzilla]

I agree that is a fantastic figure!

[Gorn Captain]

It's absolutely perfect!
It brings tears to my eyes...

[torgospizza]

Now, how much are these going to go for? That's every bit the quality of Sideshow or Hot Toys' stuff, and probably better when the scale is considered. Incredible work!

[JDeRouen]

I have to agree. It's simply beautiful. I can't wait to own one!

The SRP is $30.00 and thanks for the compliments. :smile:

[draconianguard]

Incredible. The sculpt, clothing and accessories are all top notch.

[livnxxxl]

Suhweet! :cool_y:

[supes]

Wow, I don't know if AWESOME fully describes how cool that is!!!!!! :drool_y:

I so can't wait to see Buck! Are these going to be out for Christmas?

[ScottA]

Oh, wow.

[JDeRouen]

If everything comes out looking like it does in that photo, I am totally okay with the $30 price tag.

[ZICA]

The way it's looking now both Buck and Tigerman should be available by Christmas.

[Nostalgiabuff]

damn, can't open the link from the computer I am on, will have to wait until i get home

[wilbs518]

Superb work!

[Brown Bear]

Wow......awesome job!

[SeattleEd]

$30!!! That is a steal!! NICE!!!

[william shatners toupee]

Very, Very nice!

[sprytel]

I already replied in the other thread to comment on how absolutely fantastic this figure looks... but thought this would be the better place to ask a question...

Will the packaging/card art/what-have-you be revealed at NY Comic Con as well?

The figures will come in boxes but unfortunately there won't be any mock-ups at the show.

[william shatners toupee]

I also meant to say I like the dio background for the pic. I love pics like that. :)

Even better yet. :cool_y:

Great face paint and sculpt! He will look great next to my other loose guys.

[alex]

I dont know if its me, but certainly will be buying these, and I knew they were going to be detailed, but my first impression was this looks great, but it hasnt got that naive mego charm, by being to screen accurate and detailed. Please dont get me wrong, it still looks fantastic, and looking forward to them.

[jessica]

me likey!

[Meule]

With all the detail and accessories and a body that works as it's supposed to be this is totally worth $30

[Captain]

WOWZERS!

Craig, you didnt just set the bar at a new level...You took the bar, and beat the competition senseless. This is the most incredible 8" figure ever! ...and theres a whole line yet to be seen!!!!!

[Random Axe]

Craig, that is simply the best of all the re-Mego projects. Nothing else is even close. BBP is cool and so is EMCE, but Mattel should hang it's head in guilty shame seeing what can actually be done with this scale simply by not compromising and having a passion for Mego's legacy.

Bottom line: Zica rules.

Scott

[MegoScott]

Craig, how much of what we are seeing in this is factory produced and how much is handmade prototype? How close to the finished product is this?

[wookilar8]

That's one beautiful figure. While I'll take him boxed, I do prefer blister card packaging. It shows the whole figure and you still can get great looking graphics on it.

[ZICA]

Craig, how much of what we are seeing in this is factory produced and how much is handmade prototype? How close to the finished product is this?

The entire figure is factory produced so what you see in the pic is pretty much what the production version will look like. The head is actually rotocast vinyl, not painted resin.

[MegoScott]

Well, then it's perfect. That's a huge accomplishment, congratulations.

[JDeRouen]

I have to agree with Scott. Tigerman looks perfect!

[Cmonster]

OMG... Craig, take a wild guess at what I'm doing right now...

SC

[JMC]

fantastic. I'll be at the comic con and will definitely check that out!

[ScottA]

This is amazing for a finished prototype. Very much looking forward to these.

[The Toyroom]

That is phenomenal. OMG, way to raise the stakes!

That's what I was thinking....The bar has been raised!

[The Toyroom]

You know I'm not even a Buck Rogers fan...only saw one or two eps at most in passing back during the original run....But I'll definitely be buying this line! It's phenomenal!

[ZICA]

OMG... Craig, take a wild guess at what I'm doing right now...

SC

I think I have a pretty good idea Sandy, at least I hope it's what I think it is. :smile:

I'm extremely happy to see that so many of you are impressed with the figure. This project has been the learning experience from the deepest bowels of hell but I was determined to get things done a certain way. There were a few sacrifices I had to make in certain areas but for the most part the figures turned out exactly like I had planned.

[Fuzzysnail]

Its Simply Amazing Work. You Have My Vote For Toy Of The Year.

[Jerry68]

This figure is the model for Mattel to look at. This is what can be done when you want it to. I will be buying the whole set.

[bgiles73]

Wow! Count me in for two of each. I love what I'm seeing. Now I'm really anxious to see what the other Sci Fi line was that you hinted at! Great job Craig. This line is going to rock!

[thoriron]

:drool_y:fantastic figure,I hope that the box is fantastic too

[Sandman9580]

I sort of had an inkling this line was going to be absolutely, jaw-droppingly amazing. So far it looks like I was right. :)

[enyawd72]

I agree with everything that's been said...what an amazing accomplishment!
That is hands down the best 8" figure I've ever seen.

Fantastic work Craig...can't wait to see what ZICA does next.
Personally, I'm hoping for a Six Million Dollar Man 8" line, followed by a Wild, Wild, West line.

[rockeehorror]

Lets hope people are taking notes on how to create an amazingly detailed and sculpted figure. The body we know is already incredible...can't wait to start purchasing these figures! Especially when you know attitude and quality control is not an issue for Zica! Buck is gonna rock BIG!

[Gorn Captain]

Only a talking Twiki can top this....

And sorry if it's been asked before, but: what will the packaging be like?
Something we can open and close without destroying it?
I won't be able to afford multiples, so a figure I can put back in the box would be cool....

The packaging is a collector friendly box so you're covered. :wink_y:

[Spyweb007]

Fantastic work! While a lot of us appreciate the simpler designs of some original Megos, I really think that had Mego continued their figures would have evolved towards this type of more detailed, realistic looking figure. Megos, own 12" Buck Rogers line was nicely done with fairly elaborate costumes, and this figure looks even more impressive than that, and at 8" too!

[torgospizza]

I'd totally be up for that. The only trouble I could imagine is with Lee Majors. I love the dude and all, but I hear he's a handful to deal with.

[bgiles73]

Looks like the word is getting out there that these are on the way! I hope ZICA will get some really big licenses in the future.

ZICA Toys: New Toy Company Takes on BUCK ROGERS - Figures.com Forums (http://www.figures.com/forums/news/11578-new-toy-company-takes-buck-rogers.html)

I can't think of how many other lines I would love to see in this scale. I would love to see "Battlestar Galactica", "V", "Hercules: The Legendary Journeys" and "Xena" done by ZICA just to name a few! For movies "The Black Hole", "WestWorld", "Planet of the Apes", "Battle Beyond the Stars", classic "Clash of the Titans" and maybe classic "Tron". These are just a few I'd really like to see.

I don't really remember Tigerman, but I DO remember Wilma!!! :drool_y:
Ha ha!!!
Fantastic figure none the less!!!
:costumed-smiley-009

[BATMAN89]

You WILL need a Wilma figure!!! Tight blue spandex suit!!!
What a great time for TV back then!!!
:costumed-smiley-009

[starsky]

zica has definitely raised the bar for 8 inch figures! thank you! looking forward to more licenses!! classic battlestar galactica would be a dream come true for me and i'm sure many others!!

This outfit wouldn't be bad either - nice and retro-looking!

http://www.lg-c.dk/uploads/wilma13.jpg

Brings up an interesting question. Will we get a blonde Wilma like in the first season, or the brunette Wilma in the final season? OR... will we get BOTH?

And don't get me started on the many costume choices for Princess Ardala...

For now the plan is to make Wilma look like she did in the movie with her white pilot suit, the same as Buck. As for Ardala, I have an outfit in mind that I think most will be happy with but everything is still pending licensor approval.

[Timothy2251]

Any Wilma's a good Wilma! Can't wait to see her!

[Vivisect]

Holy $@#% Craig, that figure turned out awesome! So much more detail than whats usually put into an 8" figure, especially the little things like the necklace.

[wookilar8]

Tigerman through the ages.....

GOOD - poseable and nice detail, paint not so good
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e35/wookilar8/2010%20album/tigerman.jpg

BETTER - good likeness and nicely tailored
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e35/wookilar8/2010%20album/tigerman2.jpg

BEST - OMG!!!
