Go Hero doing 12" Buck Rodgers???

[Teemu]

I know Go Hero are partners/friends with Zica...but is Go Hero stealing Zica's Thunder? or Will this mean no hope of getting 1/9 scale versions of these(Wilma/Twiki)???

from latest email

If you'll notice it says "original design by Steve Forde". The designs aren't based on the TV show, they're more in line with the 12" Buck Rogers figure that Go Hero initially released.

Interesting... So a reinterpretation of Twiki as if he were part of the original comic strip or film serial?

Go hero's buck Rogers is on of the best 12" figures ever. It would be cool to get a matching Wilma

Yes, probably something along those lines. Steve had a prototype at the New York Comic Con last year and it had a kind of steampunk vibe to it.

I really want that Wilma. Twiki's got that John Neill Tin Man vibe goig on.

Holy moly, Commander Cody, Doc Savage, The Spider, diabolic, sadistik, Betty Page... So much more

So I take it "Twiki" is Wilma's accessory.

Well this may be good or bad to say...but thats a relief! I have no interest in the comic strip Buck Rodgers..I prefer your 80's BR in the 1/9 scale versions

Commando Cody, too!! Hope Castaway can share some of these characters with Go Hero.

Wow, I might have to get these, they look amazingly well designed.

[JediJaida]

That Twiki looks kind of cute!

And if this does become a reality, I'll buy them in a heartbeat.

A 12" Sadistik? SOLD!

[GlobalObserver]

Commander Cody, Doc Savage, The Spider, Diabolic, Sadistik, The Shadow, Buck & Wilma....I want them all!

Buster's Buck shirt looks like they bought him Andre the Giant's shirt.

These look nice but I still want 1:6 versions of the Gil Gerard Buck and Crabbe as Brig. Gordon.

[Timothy2251]

They all look great - I'd snag all of 'em if they were 8" scale. I don't collect 12" figures, but I gotta get that Sadistik!
