"It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life." -
I received the tooling sample for the body and thought I would post an update pic. The sample is actually 5% larger than it should be but this is to account for shrink that will happen on the production pieces. However, through the magic of Photoshop I reduced it to the correct scale to get a better idea of how it compares to an original MEGO body. Unfortunately the joints are very loose and the body can't be posed in different positions. The factory assured me that the joints on the production pieces will be tight.

The more I look at it, the more I think the hands need to be rethought. Even clothed they look like they will be out of proportion to the rest of the figure.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

It would be nice to be able to put Mego, EMCE, or Cast-A-Way hands on them. I would use these hands for some of my customs but I'd like smaller hands to be usable too. I agree that they seem a bit large. Very GI Joe-like. Now there's a good idea...8" GI Joe Adventure Team figures.
I can't wait for these Buck Rogers figures. Especially Hawk. Oh, will the heads be rotocast? Will they be like Mego heads and have a neckplug? Will they be interchangeable with Mego, EMCE, and Cast-A-Way? Will Hawk join Buck and the crew of the Searcher in their quest?

There's no way to test that without having an actual production body but I'll definitely check into it.

The heads will be rotocast and have a neck plug design just like a MEGO head. I can't say with absolute certainty that every MEGO style head from the various companies will be compatible with the new body but I feel like most will work.Comment

Looks great.
Those hands will be very functional for gripping weapons.
An improvement!!
My hands reach to the same extent as this figure.
So unless I'm abnormally close to our simian brothers, the length of the arm seems A-OK!Last edited by Gorn Captain; Jul 15, '09, 1:33 PM..
