      But there are two actors who played him, right?
      I think the figure looks more like the pilot episode Tigerman....

        Take a little extra care when removing the hands if you decide to do that. Maybe even heat them up a little if you can. The hands can tear easily at the joint if you're not careful.

I took my time aligning all the teeth and buttons, though I don't think Tigerman cares all that much. All of those miniature bits are nicely detailed, and you don't get a one-piece string of plastic here.
        The necklace should have two layers. Lay it out as one big circle and then twist it into a figure 8. Fold that over to make the two layers which is the correct design. There should be one layer of jewelry pieces resting on top of the other.

        No licensing issue, I just wanted to go with pictures of the action figures like they did with the original 12" MEGO versions.

        Tiger Man's sculpt was basically intended to look like a mix of both actors but I agree it looks closer to the pilot episode version.

            I cannot wait to get on board with these!
            This show was one of my favs as a kid but this is the only toy that actually looks worthy of my rose-colored memories.
            12' Buck left me cold as did the small figures.
            I do have a tiny Twiki, though.

              Oh I wouldn't hold my breath on that. Gene and Paul would want a mint in licensing fees.

                I received mine today and must say, these are absolutely awesome! Even the box is great. Just imagine, if we would have had something like this 30 years ago!
                I can't wait for the rest of wave 1.

                        Right now they're only available online but Diamond Comics is interested in putting them in Previews which means they might be available at your local comic shop at some point.

                        According to the factory the figures should arrive in the US on 01/20/11 so I'll probably have them in stock again by the end of January. I was hoping to have them sooner but there was an unexpected problem with the shipper which caused a delay.

                              I dont even like Buck Rogers but WOW I had a hard time believing I wasnt looking at a 1/6 scale Sideshow 160 dollar doll.

                              That Tigerman is a massproduced custom. LOVE the box.

                              Other than the Trek and Apes I havent bought any ReMegos yet . But WOW!!!
