    ZICA and GoHero

    Hi everyone,

    Just FYI, GoHero just sent me an email stating ZICA and GoHero will be teaming up to bring us more 1:9 figures in addition to Adam West, we will be getting more Blue Water figures, like Sinbad: Rogue Of Mars and and Logan's Run: Last Day. This is quite exciting. I like to see the Sinbad.

    I was really hoping for a 1:9 Doc Savage and the Shadow, too. Any chance, ZICA?

    I know this is asking a lot, but how about Kull?....I know...I know Conan would be a better seller.

    The deal with Sinbad: Rogue Of Mars came together just a few days ago. There's been some discussion on Doc Savage and The Shadow but currently there are no plans to do 1/9 scale action figures. Kull might be good to take a closer look at sometime down the road.

      A Kull produced with the same detail and quality as the Buck Rogers line would be a hit IMO. The license should be much more reasonable than Conan:-)

        I always like Kull better because he was an more intellectual character as oppose to Conan. Imagine if we were able to get both (Kull and Conan) and Red Sonja too. What a display that would make. I wonder can something be done similar to Matty's Vikor from the He-Man line. Vikor is by all means Conan. Maybe Kull or Conan can be call something else and the license expense be voided as a result?

        Real bummer in regard to Doc Savage and the Shadow. I guess I can understand a 1:9 version may hinder sales for the 1:6 version. Just FYI, I ordered the 1/6 version of the Shadow from BBT once it became available and I can't wait till it is in my hands. I would have been very gitty with a 1:9 version of both too.

            Cool News. I read somewhere that Go Hero was going to start manufacturing their figures here in the US. Will that apply to Zica too?

              I really like the idea of The Shadow. Red Sonia would also be a "must have".

                  At some point I would love to take on those licenses but for now all of my attention and resources need to be put toward finishing Buck Rogers, Adam West, and Logan's Run.

                  At one point I think Go Hero was looking to have some of their vinyl products made here in the US but that was it. Anything action figure related will still be done in China.

                    Depending on how you're going to approach Twiki, the mini-body could be re-used for Miguelito Loveless.

                    Just an idea...

                      The Buck Rodgers line (Wave 1 and 2) should be most priority (I wont be happy till I get Hawk,Wilma,and Space Vampire)

                      The Sinbad line could be quite interesting

                        How about a little red blinking LED on the palm?

                        So we're talking about the comic book likenesses instead of movie right?


                        A shame we won't be getting Michael York and Jenny Agutter.

                          I guess Sinbad is close enough to the Harryhausen.

                            We'll probably do an extra hand set that includes one with the red light, but not blinking. Yes, it will be the comic book likeness. That's what Bluewater has the license for so that's the one we have to use.

                              COOL! A decent Sinbad figure! The Harryhausen movie was my favorite.

                              I didn't much like the one with Torin Thatcher and Kerwin Matthews, but the one with Tom Baker was by far the BEST!
