    Go Hero Buck Rogers

    Just curious to see if anyone here is planning to buy the premium format Buck Rogers figure from Go Hero?

    I just bought mine today.

    can't wait for it to arrive, I even saved some money on it. Really can't wait.

          he's no longer on my want list, he's on my "OH MY GOD HE BETTER GET HERE QUICK BEFORE I EFFING KILL SOMEBODY" list.

          Fedex can't get here quick enough.

          he's arriving with DCUC Wave 12 (Yeah, this is what I spent my Tax Return on).

          I probably could've bought a motorcycle, but instead I bought dolls. I love my hobby.

          here's the way I look at it. It's Go Hero's inaugural offering, and I can already tell the company is gonna go places.

          add to that the fact that it's NEVER gonna get any cheaper than it is right now, the price is only going to go up.

          and it's just an incredible figure all around. I knew I wanted one the moment I saw it. I just never thought I'd be able to afford one.

          I also like Flash Gordon, but not as much as Buck.

            Premium format? Did I miss something? You're not talking about a PF right, but their sixth scale figure -

                  Yea, Sideshow pretty much coined the term 'premium format' for their 18" figures.

                    I finally bought one yesterday for $100.86 shipped.

                    Now I need to find a decent deal on Flash Gordon.

                        I paid $150 for mine. Good price, but not as good as $100.86 shipped!

                        should be waiting for me when I get home from work tonight.

                          oh man, this figure is something else.....

                          overpriced?, maybe, but there's quality in every inch of this figure.

                          I just wish he had come with an instruction sheet, so that I knew how to make certain features work.

                          it comes with a sheet for the sound features (I bought mine from an online retailer instead of Go Hero!, so I didn't get the optional remote control), but for simple things like the visor, and how to remove the costume, or the flames from the jetpack, it would be nice to have some instructions.

                            Wow! I love everything on that figure, but the head sculpt looks a little odd to me. Maybe it's meant to look like a certain actor, I don't know, but it just seems like his nose is HUGE!

                              it's meant to evoke Larry "Buster Crabbe" but it's also supposed to be a more 'generic' sculpt.

                              so it's not an exact likeness, though the Go Hero! Flash Gordon says it's Crabbe, flat out.
