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.Comment

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.Comment

Man, I am so bummed.

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.Comment

Keep in mind that Go Hero got jacked by the same middle-man company out of Singapore that took Cast-a-way for a ride, so they are still coming back from that set back.Comment

Let me just day dream here a sec: I'd really like to see ZICA make a Six Million Dollar Man figure. I'd like to see anyone make one, but ZICA would do it right. I think it would be superb and possibly my all-time favorite figure, if it were Buck Rogers quality. I'd definitely buy multiples. Thing is, if Buck hasn't performed that well, would Steve? I'm being serious. It's easy to say that it would, but I'd have thought Buck would have done better, so I'm not sure. It boggles my mind they aren't sold out yet.Comment

Well, I'm definitely supporting them when both the 1/6 and 8" Flash Gordon figures come out. Might grab two of the 8" ones.

This is the exact thing that has completely baffled me about the Buck Rogers line, and also makes me very hesitant to take on another licensed property anytime soon. Maybe I could have done a better job with marketing but I thought the fan base for the show would have been plenty big enough to make the line profitable. I'm still scratching my head as to why the line hasn't done better.
1.The Economy sucks for many people
2.There is too much "product" on the market to choose from,especially since many Toy companies are producing 80's Nostalgic type lines.
But as far as what you produced in the BR line,the quality was definitely there,as these are the best 8" figures to date! I am saddened of not getting Hawk,Wilma,Vorvon and Ardala...Oh Well...Back to Sideshow G.I. Joes
P.S. Zica's buck rogers line was the reason I joined this siteComment

This is depressing news. Thank you for Buck, Tigerman and all the effort and money that went into producing the line. I thought you were on to something big. I absolutely loved the line and was in for a starfighter too.Last edited by Chris; Sep 3, '11, 9:20 AM.If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.Comment
