    With his ambassadorial outfit, on a new, improved ZICA male base body. It'd be killer!
    You got ALL that right!

    That's probably pretty accurate. Although I wouldn't say that the Buck Rogers fan base is really dwindling exactly. Yes and no, really. The license is sort of in the classic Buck Rogers hibernation sleep that you see between Star Wars and Star Trek feature films and/or TV series. I personally LOVE the Glen A. Larson Buck Rogers in the 25th Century effort, but... if you really want to be honest about it, even as a kid watching that wonderful show, I thought a lot of the dialogue in most of the episodes was horrifically cheesy, and the production was definitely slapped together from Battlestar Galactica leftovers and whatever they could scrounge up cheaply from Western Costume. The 2nd season was better, but then again... it wasn't. The show took on a more serious, realistic tone, but... then again... you had an episode with a guy who could remove his head... and the whole Searcher motif seemed just a bit too Star Treky to not even be Star Trek! Of course, I enjoyed the "off think" just as much as any pubescent kid did at the time (and still get a kick out of the fact that a network show in the very early 80s even APPROVED a scene like that), but... in the end, despite all the awesomeness of Erin Grey, Gil Gerard, Glen A. Larson, Mark Lenard (the guy who had to act like he could actually remove his head in that silly, silly episode and STILL managed, through sheer massive talent, I would assume, to even make it half way believable) and so many other stellar qualities that the show had and always will be affectionately known for... it was and still is a pretty camp, almost half hearted attempt at updating the story of the original scifi hero that even predates Flash Gordon, for goodness sake! But yeah... I try not to even think about the loss of the Hawk figure, much less the Draconian Guard that I would still just about kill for. It hurts too much because I, like the rest of you, would definitely be making good and sure the project was actually going to go ahead to the manufacturing stage... if I had the money to fully back it, that is. Sigh....

    I'd much rather would like see the ZICA prototypes produced and dump the stuff I have.
    Craig already poured so much effort, money and work into this, the molds already exist, etc. I just hope, that that other company will agree to the deal. Craig deserves to be refunded for his efforts and it also would be a shame if the molds etc would never be used.
    If I had the money, I'd buy these right away and have them produced.
    You're absolutely right.

    These figures didn't get the attention they deserved.

    If we (as a group) can get that body suit down we could do a movie style "Keaton" Batman.
    I could contribute a great looking Mego-scale Hawk sculpt, that I had commissioned a sculptor with some time back.I also have some ideas how to do the breastplate.
    But honestly, I'd much rather would like see the ZICA prototypes produced and dump the stuff I have.

    Works for me.

    Yeah, like Teemu said, "another company" bought the molds and will hopefully produce Hawk in 2012.
    They haven't bought anything yet. The deal is still pending.
