Buck Rogers Action Figure Promo Pics

[ZICA]

Here are the official promo pics of all the prototype Buck Rogers figures that were shown at the New York Comic Con. If for some reason a few of you see a red "X" instead of pictures I'll be updating my website with the pictures tomorrow. Big thanks to Mark Bradley (Ranger 3) for making the very cool backdrops for the pictures.

[The Toyroom]

DUDE! Those are AWESOME! Hard to believe these super-detailed figures are 8"!

[enyawd72]

Holy crap those are awesome pics!!

I seriously can't wait to get my hands on these.

[starsky]

speechless! absolutely beautiful!!

[MegoScott]

Gee whiz. Those are serious.

[Van Hammersly]

All I want to do is call the me from 1979 and tell him that the figures he wished he had back then, he will have 31 years later.

Beautiful, and I will be getting each and every one of these.

[EMCE Hammer]

Boy, you don't mess around. Is retail target for these still $30?

[ZICA]

Boy, you don't mess around. Is retail target for these still $30?

Yes, the SRP is $29.99.

[thoriron]

:hello:
fantastic toys and a very good price!!:wink_y:

[Trappy Trek Freak]

Those are so Awesome I want two of each!!!

[Chris]

As God as my witness I hope you are rewarded finacially for all of your hard work. These figures are amazing. This is what I was looking for in 1980.

[sprytel]

Amazing figures. And beautiful pics, too. I love it!

[Mefiboschet]

These are absolutely fantastic!

[Meule]

I still can't get over how detailed these are for being 8" figures. And so many accessories... It's a dream.
And I must say those backdrops are supersweet

[Ranger 3]

Sweet Mother Of Abraham Lincoln!!

[pmwasson]

Amazing!

[JediJaida]

YEEEEHHHHAAAHHHH!

Those are mind blowing, fantastic, stupendous, colossal, and.....well, just put in whatever word you want.

The level of detail would have had the old guys at Mego drooling with envy and offering to buy you out for fear of the competition.

I can't WAIT to get a hold of Hawk, Buck and maybe one of the Draconian guards.


Once these start selling, my friend, you will become embarrassingly rich.:drool_y::drool_y::drool_y::drool_y::drool_y:

[vulcan2074]

Those Rock! You've done this line some serious justice. :beaming1:

[SeattleEd]

BRILLIANT!!!
I am so looking forward to these, Craig.
So well done.

[New Chicago]

Awesome and great attention to detail especially the small props!!!

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Drool, Drool!:drool_y:

[MegoSteve]

I'm not even a fan of the series, but these are awesome. Seriously, these are some of the best 8" figures out there. You're like the Hot Toys of 8" figures.

[Captain]

Absolutely mind blowing. 25 years from now, I'm sure they'll still be singing the praises of this inaugural line on the ZicaMuseum web-site...or whatever they have then!!!

[jessica]

Wow! They look really great!!

[HardyGirl]

Wow! Those are NICE! :yes:

[ribefex]

Wonderful figures. Congratulations. They have a lot of detail and quality, and they still looks very megoesque, very 70´s. You´ve achieved the perfect action figure mixing to me. I´m going to buy two of all of them, if I can.
When are you going to reveal the boxes? I´m pretty sure you are keeping a great surprise also.

Thanks! If the factory sends me some box samples, which they should, I'll post a few pics.

Take a wild guess what I'll be doing when you post those...

[The Bat]

I'm not a Fan of the Buck Rogers TV Show in the least....but WOW! Those are some BEAUTIFUL Figures!:yes: It shows what can be achieved with the 8" scale when some one puts their Mind to it...well done good Sir!:hokay:

[PeterRR]

They look great . Great detail. Why can Mattel make a detailed DC Figures.Thanks Mattel for making a crapy figures with the money I save from not buying your retro Junk I will buy all of these. I like the helmet on Buck. I had all the Buck Rodgers 12" mego figures but sold them when Bucks face turned blue. And the swivel arms are a plus. How about a ball joint neck. Now that would be great.

[JediJaida]

When was the last time that Mattel actually cared about quality?

Oh yeah! Waaaaaay back when I was around three or four years old, in the late 1960's!

After the 70's, quality started going downhill in favore of cheep dolls (not cheap, I mean CHEEP!), crummy outfits, vacuous expressions, limited articulation, and other kinds of crap.

[ZICA]

. . . How about a ball joint neck. Now that would be great.

We're working on it. :smile:

[Type Two]

Wow. After all these years a Hawk action figure???? My head is spinning... .

Beautiful stuff, guys.

[Orion1]

Where can I pre-order my set? Are you going to have the Starfighter for sale too?

:grin:

[ZICA]

:grin:

Pre-orders won't be taken until I know the figures are actually on the water and on their way to the US. According to the last update I got from the factory they should be shipping on 11-27-2010. The starfighter will be a made to order item, we won't be keeping them in stock. I'll be posting all the specifics on the starfighter once I have the prototype in hand.

[PeterRR]

We're working on it. :smile:

Great news about the ball joint neck. Since were on the subject to making improvement on bodies how about making the waist to go up and down not just side to side. Now that would be the best 8" body

[ZICA]

Once the female body is finished I might go back and tweak the male body.

[JediJaida]

Will you also be getting new headless bodies to go along with the BR stuff? I need some new bods.

I won't be getting any new bodies in until it's time to start production on the remaining three figures from series 1 of Buck Rogers. Hopefully sales for Buck and Tigerman will be strong so I can get started on the remaining three a month or two after Christmas.

[JediJaida]

Drat! Drat And Double Drat!

great news! at least we have a specific date to go on!!

[EMCEtoys]

Now this is the future of the 8" format. I was stunned when I saw the pictures; I thought I was looking at the 12" stuff that Amok Time was putting out. These are positively gorgeous.

Personally, I hated this show but given how few space toys are made these days I can see myself getting a Buck and a custom Starfighter just to put in the showroom.

Best of luck with this line and keep pushing the 8" format further -- let's show the 12" guys that there's a more affordable and easier-to display alternative!

Thanks for the compliments and for wishing me luck with line. I definitely think the 8" scale is making a big comeback and hopefully our companies will make sure it's here to stay.

To that end, you've proven that you can do anything in the 8" format that you can do in 1/6 without the huge price point. I can't imagine what these would cost as 12" figures!

Two Professionals, Two Giants and Two Gentlemen from our hobby. Its great to be a Mego fan these days.

[JediJaida]

I know what they'd cost!

An arm, a leg, all of your teeth, your grandchildren unto the ninth generation, your house, car, dog, cat, and your life insurance policy.

[Ranger 3]

And that's just for Tigerman!

[Thun]

Hi, everybody! This is my first post. After seeing those pics, I had to register just so I could say those are absolutely gorgeous!! What venues will they be available through? And what kind of price point are we looking at on the Starfighter?

I certainly hope to be able to get those, because they are absolutely amazing!! :)

[Meule]

Welcome aboard Thun.
Guess this is one thread that didn't get moved to the new ZICA forum just yet

The figures will be available through my website and a few of the online retailers. I know Amok Time, Big Bad Toy Store, and Monsters In Motion are currently taking preorders.

[Randy]

Holy @&%$!~!!!!
Amazing....

[cdhall]

Incredible.

Will Buck come with/in a Space Shuttle/20th Century outfit? I have a few thoughts on how to put him in my Trek Crew.

The detail is amazing. And you seem to have the arm horizontal to the ground without a bicep swivel joint.

8" rule. They were so fun to play with. Better than GI Joe, better than Star Wars. They were perfect. And now they are back.

Congrats!

It's possible that Buck will be offered in his space shuttle outfit since it's already been prototyped but nothing has been confirmed.

The ZICA body that's being used for these figures has a bicep swivel joint.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

Wow these look stunning.

[the angry orc]

these look amazing. definitely plan on picking up each of them x 2.

[Afaninfull]

I have my preorder with BBTS. These look really nice!!!

[k2]

these figures really strike a balance of detail and simplicity, they just look really "crisp" for lack of a better word, i don't think i have been this excited about a toy since i was a child

i wish you and your company all the best!!!

k.c.

Thanks! :smile: So far the preorders have been great so hopefully it won't be much longer and I can get production started on the remaining three characters.

[Jerry68]

I am not so patiently waiting on the female bodies!! I have a ton of customs waiting for them. Any update?

[JediJaida]

They're not just crisp, they are SHARP!

I can't wait to get my hands on them (as I have mentioned before.)

Craig, I predict that once these come out officially, you will be known as THE toymaker!

Unfortunately nothing major. Work is still being done on the prototype and currently they're trying to tweak the articulation in the knees.

Glad you like it.

[D!n0-M@n]

:drool_y: I think I just died and went to heaven! I have never, in my many years of collecting, been so excited and blown away by any other action figure line as I am with what you've created here! This is the top of the proverbial "heap" for me right here. Absolutely stunning! I can not wait to own all of these guys... and hopefully a wave two with Wilma, Princess Ardala, Dr. Huer and of course Buck's little buddy Twiki! I can hope at least! :grin:

BRAVO! :clap:

Just wondering when the next characters will be coming out, so I can start saving LOL

I think Zica is going to lead the way for the ultimate 1/9 scale Mego type figures period. Do you want to do a six million dollar man??? I have a nice head sculpt?

If I'm ever given the opportunity to do a series of Six Million Dollar Man figures I'll definitely take it. I have most of the vintage toys and just recently bought the DVD set so I've got plenty of reference material. :smile:

I couldn't be any happier hearing this. Fingers crossed it works out, because this would be one of my favorite lines of all time. I mean, I like Buck Rogers quite a bit, but SMDM? I'd be all over that like crazy.

[Captain_Mego]

Absolutely outstanding figures Craig.
