If you'll notice it says "original design by Steve Forde". The designs aren't based on the TV show, they're more in line with the 12" Buck Rogers figure that Go Hero initially released.

Well this may be good or bad to say...but thats a relief! I have no interest in the comic strip Buck Rodgers..I prefer your 80's BR in the 1/9 scale versions

Holy moly, Commander Cody, Doc Savage, The Spider, diabolic, sadistik, Betty Page... So much more

So I take it "Twiki" is Wilma's accessory.

I really want that Wilma. Twiki's got that John Neill Tin Man vibe goig on.

Interesting... So a reinterpretation of Twiki as if he were part of the original comic strip or film serial?

Yes, probably something along those lines. Steve had a prototype at the New York Comic Con last year and it had a kind of steampunk vibe to it.

Go hero's buck Rogers is on of the best 12" figures ever. It would be cool to get a matching Wilma

I know Go Hero are partners/friends with Zica...but is Go Hero stealing Zica's Thunder? or Will this mean no hope of getting 1/9 scale versions of these(Wilma/Twiki)???
