Hawk

[MIB41]

Do you smell a Draconian Guard as well?

Possibly! Yes!

[Mefiboschet]

I smell Hawk making a come back. Call me crazy...

[THE FALCON]

Damn, I was hoping for a Twiki. Wish Hawk was made before Tiger Man. Oh well.

[kennermike]

You're more than welcome and I hope I was able to offer a solution.

If the line gets picked up by this other company I'll be sure to tell them not to let the same mistake happen with the Draconian Guard's boots.

Man Craig I hope Hawk gets made?

"Only one thing in the world could've dragged me away from the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window." And that would pretty much be more additions to the ZICA line of Buck Rogers action figures....

[will5967]

Oh! Don't even tempt me! Don't REMIND me! That unproduced Draconian Guard dances in my Christmas dreams like... like... the old man's beloved Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! That is EXACTLY the kind of helpful comment I was looking for. It's so easy for folks on slap dash comment and run talk boards to get bent out of shape and think they're firing a shot off the port bough right back at ya - when someone is simply making a statement or asking an innocent question. Either way, that sounds like a FABULOUS fix to try and I sincerely appreciate the info. I haven't done a review of the Buck and Tigerman figures I'm way behind in getting to for my site, but when I do, I will definitely put that info up, if I may. And thanks again for the true professionalism, Craig. It speaks very, very well of you. Heck, the quality of the figures themselves pretty much does that, but it's nice to know why you that small problem didn't quite make it through the manufacturing stage. Noted and very, very much appreciated.

Unfortunately this issue with the boots happened because the factory wasn't paying attention to my notes. The soles should have been cast in hard plastic but as you can see that didn't happen.

Try bending the soles downward and then apply heat with a hair dryer. Hold them in that position until they cool down and it might fix the problem. I know this method has worked before so it's worth a shot.

Buck and Tigerman are pretty awesome, aren't they? Tigerman's boots are a little disappointing, but that's really my only issue with either figure. If anyone knows any tips, tricks or maybe just a simple fix for how to get Tigerman to actually stand up in those boots, please let me know.

I just got a Buck and Tiger- what can I say but freakin WOW!! I didn't expect the level of detail and quality !! These two figures are off the charts!!

[JediJaida]

I hope so, not just for the line's sake, but for Craig's.

This has been a big dream of his for more than three years, and it had to have been a HUGE letdown when the figures didn't sell as well as he wanted them to.

I hope that this new project he's working on, aside from selling the Buck Rogers line works out.

I really want to find out what it is, just to sate my curiosity.

[Teemu]

yeah i agree. it's just sad to see the best well made figure/ line not be successful. really goes against all logic!

Its more so the Economy itself and the competition of so many other products out there to buy.

If this line came out in the late 80's, late 90's and possibly early 2000's...

We would of had Buck,TigerMan,Hawk,Kane,Draco Guard,Wilma,Twiki,The Vorvon,and Queen Ardala by now! plus a series 3 and 4...with vehicles like Starfighter and Hawk's Ship and probably a command center base dock produced...

Will this new company take over this line? I don't have hopes for it to truely happen.So much talk in the Toy World,but ALOT doesn't get done.
