I honestly don't have any idea as to what they would do concerning the other characters. I'd be happy to supply them with the female body though.Comment

Maybe we can at least create a new thread in this forum, where everybody could show his interest that this line may be continued.Last edited by Mefiboschet; Sep 30, '11, 6:55 AM.Comment

Ahh, here's a glimpse of hope! Is there anything, we can do from our end to encourage this other company taking over this line? I know, you can't reveal any names. but if there would be some kind of "pre-order" sign up, it might help to indicate, that there is considerable interest in this line.

There's no way that's gonna happen for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately for now the best choice for production is China, especially if you're trying to maintain certain standards.
I had a phone call earlier today which was somewhat promising in regards to another company taking over the Buck Rogers line. Hopefully that will happen and at least you'll have the chance to get the remaining three figures.
That is good news, I hope you will be fairly compensated.sigpicComment

I know the feeling. Unfortunately, when you're so incredibly passionate about something and take the execution of it to the enth degree, like you did with these figures, the risk of actually making any money becomes greater. To get to the level of detail and perfection of the figures you've done, takes time and money. As the process moves forward, more time and certainly more money get invested and as every day goes by, you realize that you'll be happy to simply break even and get your investment back. Sadly, a very large percentage of the people buying your figures will never know this. It's a hard pill to swallow-- believe me, I've swallowed a few of them.
Flip side is Craig, you've produced what are in my opinion, the most detailed and impeccably done, factory made figures in this scale to date. Period. You should be very proud of that.
Just some perspective and a public pat on the back from fellow dreamer.

Craig,
I was curious if you contacted SFM/EMP here in Seattle to carry and sell the Buck/Tigerman set in their gift shop? I'm sure they would sell well, more so during summer when tourist season hits and mass people line up to get into SFM.Comment

They may not have been a financial success for me, but as a creative success I think I've definitely achieved what I set out to do.
Never did contact them. Until I know for sure what's going to happen with this other company taking over the line I've got to keep the bulk of the inventory I have left because that's part of the buyout deal.Comment
