      Mine haven't arrived yet either. I'm assuming the delay is because of the "massive snow storm" that shut down the city.
      good news i guess, sometimes the mailman leaves packages right on my front step, i'm glad to know some passer by didn't get the coolest new figures out!!

      on a side note, i got a package today and was disappointed to find out it wasn't buck and tigerman, but just a really nice t-1 ironman, spidey and hulk

      k.c.

        HO. LY. SH. IT.

        Craig - these are AMAZING. I've been just staring at them for like a half hour.

        It's unbelievable what you have accomplished here. The attention to detail is amazing. The quality is amazing. The likeness is amazing. The fit-and-finish of accessories is amazing. The precision with how the gun fits in the hand… I mean wow.

        The level of articulation - how the body parts have a sort of "ratchet" to them. I also was afraid the bodies would be too "buff" based on the pictures but not at all in person.

        I mean truly, these are the best 8" figures ever made. Period.

        I have two minor complaints My Buck has a bad (open) seam on the back of his sleeve. Not a big deal. Also, Tigerman is impossible to stand. I think the choice of a soft-goods boot, while it looks great, makes it impossible to stand as the "plastic" on the bottom of the shoe has bowed slightly. Hopefully this will flatten over time. A harder plastic boot may have been a better choice.

        Please please please Do BSG and SMDM

        Any every other series, too, while you’re at it.

              Here are some high-quality pics of the figures. Craig, feel free to use these if you need to. If you have a particular shot you'd like, let me know.

                One last note, Craig is so intent on getting this line done right he bought material from a New York company and sent it to the factory for Buck and Hawk’s costumes after being disappointed with the factory’s selection.

                Zica "Hot" Toys---getting it done right!

                Buck Rogers Toynormous! (great info site on this line)

                  Sorry about the issue with the open seam on the sleeve. I had this problem on some of the samples and told the factory early on to be aware of it. Hopefully it won't be a widespread problem.

                  As for the issue with Tiger Man's boot soles, I talked about that problem in this thread.

                  Thanks for taking those high quality pics, nice work!

                      My figs arrived yesterday and they are awesome! Zica took retro-Mego to a near unsurpassable level. I'm a box guy and it was great to see them update the old Mego style boxes.
                      If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                        those are so cool. and it makes it easier to take them out without damaging the package. I so want these but the cost is holding me back. not that I don't think they are worth it but I just don't have the cash

                          I am sure it has been covered before but are these heads rotocast like Mego?

                            Yes, they are.

                              Excellent job on the headsculpts, BTW.

                              The resemblance to Gil Gerard is so exact it's a bit scary! It's a perfect likeness, right down to the hair color.
