I tried to pull Buck out by his belt, and broke the belt...what the?... then I flipped over the vacuum insert and he's freakin tied to the plastic insert. BOOOOOOOO!!

      Otherwise I cant find anything else to whine about. THanks for the great figure Craig.
      Sorry about the twist ties but with anything boxed like these figures it seems to be a necessary evil. I just think the factories take it to extremes a lot of times. Where did the belt break? It's fastened in the back with velcro so it's designed to come off.

        When I saw I pulled the belt in half, I became disgusted with myself and closed the box up and put it on the shelf. After your post I went back and pulled him back out of the box, removed the (5) twist ties, and just as you said....he wasn't broke. The velcro simply came apart. Very nice design. Belt and both arm bands are velcroed. THanks for the heads up. I would have eventually gotten over my disgust with myself and opened him back up, but it would have been a couple a more days. lol I took pics of the steps required to remove him....will post tomorrow.

            No, I'm not taking a preorder list. As soon as the figures from the next release are available I'll post the info here and on the ZICA Toys Facebook page.

              Be happy the time and expense was taken to secure a quality figure like this. I've looked into this for our stuff and I can only say thank God that we're doing "retro", wherein having the figure slumped over in the package like a superpowered drunk is part of the appeal.

                I love the figure. I hate twist ties on ALL toys. As a parent who had to take all the kids toys out of their packages, I can say "I'm over it"!! lol

                      This is his before shot...make sure you get all 5 twist ties off. He sits nice in the vaccu formed plastic.



                      You can see where the belt pulled apart in the back, where I thought I broke him.....VELCRO is KING!!

                          That is great news Craig. Glad to hear of it. This is like music to my ears.

                                Summed up nicely. After hearing that the Flash Gordon sales weren't that great I was concerned that Buck might suffer from poor sales. I'm delighted that this isn't the case.

                                Thx for the Cottswold tip! I need an extra Buck figure for the future Starfighter. As my dear departed mother used to say: "If someone goes to the trouble of producing a 1:9 scale Starfighter the least you can do is buy it".
                                If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
