    More bad news for the 8" mego like collector :(

    I guess the only thing I have to look forward to now is Kyle (if mattel does make him) and EMCE TNG.. This was my favorite line by far the best of them. It's a real shame. I was hoping for the twiki, wilma and hawk the most but they all would have been great.

    Man, I am so bummed.
    A Hawk of the quality of the others was something I really was looking forward to.

    I strongly second that. Those Buck Rogers figures are the zenith of the hobby, IMO. With quality like that, I'll always buy ZICA figures, so long as they're available.

    Unfortunately no. Go Hero has their hands full with other projects.

    You still have to have the clothing, bodies and accessories made, all of which have high MOQ from the factory. Like I mentioned before, there's still the possibility that the line will continue but with another company. The tooling is already made for Hawk, Kane, and the Draconian Guard which is a huge plus.

    Craig, I can't tell you how disappointed I am to hear this. There have been a lot of great figures that have come out in this 8" resurgence, but your Buck Rogers figures have been my absolute favorites. The quality and attention to detail is unbelievable. I'm glad to hear that you have other projects in the works, but I'm bummed that we won't see the Buck line continue.

    It doesn't sound like there is much chance, but if you thought of putting out a limited-run, Mego Museum exclusive Hawk figure, I would buy a bunch of them. The campaign begins now!
    The primary problem is the MOQ that is required by the factory for each figure. Yes, I could make just Hawk but the MOQ will be too high for me to take the risk.

    Well, you have raised the bar and proven that you can get the first set produced.

    Here's hoping that you get a big retail and distribution push for your next project given the quality of Buck and Tigerman.

    Don't give up on your dream...it WILL happen!
    Trust me, ZICA Toys is still very much in the action figure game I've still got projects I'm working on and I'm hoping that 2012 will be a better year.
