8" Buck Rogers Line Announced

[Meule]

Friggin unbelievable... killer sculpts too, absolutely dead on.
Very exciting to see yet another company venture into the 8" world. Just a few years ago almost no one was into it, then a few smaller players came along, then CTVT, EMCE (Dr.Mego) , Castaway and now Zica. The more the merrier... Make the 8" scale popular again

I'll buy these. Buck Rogers was one of my 3 or 4 favorite shows as a kid. I can't wait.

[starsky]

i'm really excited about these figures!!

[Mikey]

Space Vampire would be a cool exclusive

[bobws]

This is soooooooo Good! i loved the show and would buy these up like crazy. i do wish 1 girl was in the first set though. but 2 in the second sounds good. please don't forget to make the great guest star characters as well if things go good. there were so many babes in spandex you could make! don't forget the crew of the second series as well as Dr. Huer. Variant brunette Wilma, oh YEAH! WELL DONE, i am eagerly awiting these. nice head sculpts BTW.

NOW ALL WE NEED ARE ORIGINAL BATTLESTAR GALACTICA AND STAR WARS MEGO SIZED FIGURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pascal]

Will there be a European version? (an European exclusive figure or a special packaging for Europe?)

[supes]

Dude this is AWESOME!!! I was so hoping the announcement was going to be our Buck Rogers. The head scupts look great. They will be on my Christmas list!

[ZICA]

will there be a limited run? did you get to talk to gil gerard?

The run isn't limited and unfortunately no, I haven't spoken with Gil Gerard. However, I'm sure at some point I'll see him at one of the larger conventions and hopefully he'll autograph a few of the figures.

I cant believe it terrific news!! .thats funny that this news came out been watching the DVD box set the last couple weeks

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.

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.

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

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

[ZICA]

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!

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