Six Million Dollar Man Aciton Figures Wave 2 Images!

[classicgalacticalover]

Just have to share with you Craig. I'm a single dad and have a special needs daughter and she loves your figures! She wanted tonight to go to bed watching the Steve/Bigfoot episodes while holding the figures. Thanks again, another special memory made with my little girl. Your company is the best.

Hey Craig really loving wave 2! I still would like a few more variants such as the seven million dollar man in his black track suit and Steve in his NASA jumpsuit. Would Universal let you make any of your own bionic or robotic villains? This could really add something special to the line (as we all see how much people loved Maskatron).

Will the Rudy variation have the same or different paint apps?

Also can we please please get Dr. Dolenz in Wave3?

That's them. Thanks Jeff!

Are there any photos of the kenner prototypes?

It was never my original intention to have the limbs on the figures be removable. The reason I didn't go with the traditional PVC/ABS combination with a sonic weld is because my factory didn't understand how to do it. Yes, you read that right, and I was totally shocked when they told me this. The current design was my only option since I had to use this particular factory because it was approved by NBC Universal. Thankfully that design worked out well and I was very happy with the final product.

As for not adding in bionic components and features, Kenner would not have done this so neither did I. Two Kenner wax sculpts of 3.75" Six Million Dollar Man action figures actually exist, one is Steve Austin in his orange NASA jumpsuit, and the other one is Bigfoot. Neither of them have any bionics or action features as part of their design.

If I was doing a modern line I would probably try and incorporate these type of features but since I was going for a vintage Kenner look I thought it was best to leave them out.

This scale lends itself so well to pop-off limbs. It seems a real shame to me that this feature was not used to produce 'bionic' arms and legs.

Mr. X will have a removable mask. Why? Because Mr. X without a mask is just a regular guy.

As far as I'm concerned, Steve Austin without 'bionics' is just a guy in a jogging suit.

I bought a set of these figures because I love the character, but I'm really disappointed that no effort seems to have been put into creating a bionic man with actual bionics that we can see. That was such a selling point for the 70's line of figures.

It just seems like such a missed opportunity.

We're getting two Rudy figures. A bionic repair station would have been such a cool playset.

I agree, this is the main reason why I haven't bought these. Bigfoot soooo needs that chest plate.

Having said that, the cards and artwork is gorgeous, really the figures are too, but without the visible bionics it's just not 'complete' IMO.

I think a bionic limb accessory set would be amazing. Include a bionic arm and leg for Steve, a bionic arm for Bigfoot, etc. You could even include a mustache Steve head. But that isn't a make or break it for me. These are my favorite figures in a looooong time.

I'm happy with what we have. Give the man time. Craig, my best friend was over last night and I showed him my set from wave one and showed him the pics to wave two. He was really impressed. He is not a die hard action figure collector but he said he is considering ordering a set now as well. I gotta tell you I have given up other lines due to financial issues from the last four years of medical problems but I will stick with this line and anything else Zica does. The cost and store exclusives and hard to find variants and lack of customer appreciation were all factors to me stopping those other lines but Craig does it right not only with quality but respect for the customer as well.

I put in my two cents!

Okay Craig I started the petition on the EMCE/Bif Bang Pow board. Here's hoping!

Awesome! Fingers crossed.

I've always been a big fan of good communication, and in business it's imperative. I'm happy to answer as much as I can, as long as it doesn't get me in trouble.

As for the classic Battelstar Galactica license, if you want figures done in this scale and format the person you need to contact is Mr. Jason Labowitz of Big Bang Pow! He'll probably kill me for this but I've had more than one conversation with him on this topic and just can't seem to convince him it's a good idea. Maybe if you started a thread about it in the Bif Bang Pow forum section it might get his attention and possibly change his mind.

Craig I think that it really speaks well that you take the time to respond to all the questions you get. I believe that we are going to see even greater things from you and ZICA in the years ahead. Do you know of a way to contact Universal and make sure our desire to see your company handle Battlestar happens? I do plan to contact them and make sure they know the quality of which you are handling The Six Million Dollar Man license. If they don't already know. Thanks again for bringing the fun back with these figures.

Another vote for classic BSG in this style. That would rule!
