To be completely honest with you I really wouldn't consider doing Buck Rogers figures in this scale. MEGO did an awesome job back in the day and I really don't see how the vintage line could be improved on that much, if at all. You had a great assortment of characters, cool ships, and a playset. I'm primarily looking at properties that never had figures in this scale, had figures that were poorly done in this scale, or would have been completely absurd to have had action figures made for it at all, in any scale (more on that at a later time ).

I bought a Tiger Man at the meet to customize into a pirate. I don't think I will be doing that. This figure is to 8" what Hot Toys is to 12".Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

Yep. Agreed 100% and then some. Buck is equally awesome. So sad the line wasn't able to be rounded out. Yet more reason to spread the word on this new ZICA project, with its success who's to say what the future may hold?Comment

Would have been sweet to see a classic Buck in this scale too. Go Hero helped with these, I would have loved to see an old pulp style showdown with Buck vs. Killer Kane!Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

Hawk
Wilma Derring(Searcher uniform)
Princess Ardala(casual attire)
Gary Coleman's character(the name escapes me at the moment)

Plenty of characters and variants of Buck, Wilma, and Ardala which Mego never produced which would make great figures.Comment

I'd be in for Buck Rogers too. I never had the line as a child but always wanted them. I think they would be great in the same style as SMDM. Battlestar Galactica would also be great! And if we could somehow talk Diamond Select Toys into a cooperative venture with ZICA, I would really and truly love to see a line like this for Star Trek TOS and TNG!Comment

Always thought the articulation on the Mego Buck Rogers figures were really good, though. The O-rings were a pain in the backside. That's the only issue I had with them. I hope Craig has a huge success with the SMDM line so maybe he will be able to work out something with NBC/Universal to get the license for BW, BSG, and BR. If he's interested in those lines.Comment

I have a Go Hero Buck. He's 12" and awesome. I would still like an 8" in the same outfit.Looking for Green Arrow accessories, Doctor Who Sonic Screwdriver, and Japanese Popy Megos (Battle Cossack and France, Battle of the Planets, Kamen Rider, Ultraman) and World Heroes figuresComment

I don`t want to be party pooper but lets remember Zica gave us the most beautiful megoesque Buck figures, and only us fanboys bought them. I would love more too but if Joe Public didn`t buy that 8" Buck, which was to die for, would they buy 3 3/4 versions either?Comment

This issue coupled with the fact that MEGO already did a great job on their vintage line would prevent me from completely starting over from scratch with all of the characters. Doing a limited extension of the line by adding figures of Hawk and the Vorvon would be the only option I would consider, and it would also depend on me getting a special deal on the license.Comment
