I'm hoping to have them out before Christmas but I don't want to rush things. So far everything seems to be going smoothly but a lot depends on how soon the factory can get the design right for the new body.

The Tigerman sculpt looks great too.

Once it's painted up, it will look fantastic.

This is really exciting ......

Will these be officially licensed by Universal ?

Great news, the mego Buck Rogers line was fantastic, but will be even better in 8 inch scale.

Since there was more than one actor who played Tigerman I figured I go for something that was basically a mixture of them.

Universal doesn't hold the license, it belongs to the Dille Family Trust.

Looks FANTASTIC! I'm eager for a set. A few questions of intense interest - How will these be sold? Commercial retailers? Order online? Your website exclusively? Will they be on card or boxed? If they will be on card, will the figure be enclosed in the plastic cases that can be opened and closed without damage to the card? Any plans yet for early bird specials? Sorry for the multiple questions, but I'm a big fan of this show and I'm just trying to gather all the facts so I can spread the word!! The sculpts look excellent!

Great news! And so under-the-radar! How'd ya manage that?

Just one suggestion ...
Make sure you make enough to go around.
I suspect these will be a big hit and i'll also bet many people will buy at least 2 of each (if the price is good).
Like the EMCE Trek figures, i'm guessing you'll also get a lot of orders from Buck Rogers fans who are not necessiarily Mego or action figure collectors.
Europe also has A LOT of Buck Rogers fans.
Again, please make sure you make enough to go around

I am not the biggest fan of the show but I am very curious about this new line of figures.

They will be sold online through my website and hopefully a few other online retailers. I also plan to approach Diamond Comics to see if they can be sold through their Previews catalog.

Right now the plans are to offer them boxed and carded since both forms of packaging have their advantages. The carded versions will not be enclosed in plastic cases, the blisters will be heat sealed to the card.

There are no plans for any type of early bird specials.

There should be plenty to cover the demand but if not I'll be happy to make more.

Excellent! I can't wait! I'll spread the word!! I'll be ordering all of these in boxed form as soon as they are available. Great idea guys and the early work looks exceptional. Thanks for bringing yet another classic show into the 8 inch arena with great style.
