Oh, no. Zach and the infamous DST Chuck are involved? Forget about any Buck Rogers product coming out. Ever.Originally Posted by Teemu
If anything is released it will be a NEW line designed by Zach and Chuck and "to the extreme"!
Word to your mother.

Yeah when I heard that the project moved to Diamond I figured our sculpt would never see the light of day. Chuck has never been a fan of our work. Good thing we kept a casting for our private collection.
DST Chuck...how do people like him keep their jobs? He singlehandedly made me stop buying Minimates, and I know several people who are still angry over the Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek debacles.
I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, but Chuck has always reminded me of Georg Brewer at DC Direct. DCD finally got smart and showed GB the door. IMHO, Diamond should wake up and follow suit.

"DST Chuck" is the guy who took the chance on making Star Trek megos again
and has been championing these figures since 2006. He has been more
responsible for "re-mego" than anyone - because he puts his money where
his mouth is!
Consider my toes stepped on.
Ooops. Sorry, Doc. I was merely talking as a former Minimate fan who has had his entire foot stomped on by poor (IMHO) decisions regarding that line.
Further, I still hear from friends who are still very upset about Star Trek figure line promises, cancellations and inaction and don't get me started about the ill will still around about...Battlestar Galactica...Wave 3... .
But, hey, if you get along with him, maybe he isn't all bad.

In the Toy World,everything is ALL talk until its actually produced and in your hands.
So true, and one really cannot tell whether something is actually going to come out based on the previous track record of a manufacturer/brand manager.
Just look at the JLU line from Mattel. Single protos from the "lost wave" sold for several hundred dollars each, with the thought that Mattel would never produce them. Then, out of the blue, Mattel announced that they are going to produce them! However, like you said, until they are actually for sale, I wouldn't clear space on the shelf for them.
Regarding the Buck Rogers line, all we can do is hope that previous history goes out the window and that we fans of the 8" figures will have them in our hands this time next year. Fingers crossed and no take backs.

With the recent attitude about not releasing any Trek figures other than Kirk and Spock I am not going to get my hopes up about DST releasing any Buck Rogers figures. If DST Chuck likes taking chances Paul then see if you can persuade him to take one more chance and release Vina and Chapel.
I was thinking the Vina figure may have been a better combination with the Pike release. And the Salt Creature w/ Chapel.
Another possibility for the Vina figure would be her w/ a "Miror Mirror" Urhura. Kind of a vixen set...
Invincible Ironing Man
I think the Vina/Chapel combo was doomed from the start. Not enough "action adventure". I would certainly have bought a set, but I can understand that store owners would consider them peg warmers.
But I'll buy the Mirror Mirror ones. I'm still grateful for any additions on this line.
