Six Million Dollar Man Aciton Figures Wave 2 Images!

[Brown Bear]

I'm really sad to hear that. Especially since my three children as excited for them as I was. My four year old girl STILL takes her Bigfoot everywhere.

[ZICA]

Sorry to hear that.
Your figures are what got me back interested in the smdm in the first place.
They really are cool figures.
Is wave one still selling strong?

Wave 1 is almost sold out, so it did very well.

[Orion]

I was late to the game on these and just managed to get my Wave 1 figures. Really love the nostalgia and quality of Steve and Bigfoot.

Apparently not that well. I haven't received any new purchase orders from the retailers that have the figures listed for pre-order and that's definitely not a good sign. As I've said before, I'm giving this until the end of July before officially canceling the line but at this point I think the writing is on the wall.

Craig

Craig I said it before and I'll say it again. This really breaks my heart. Here is someone willing to put it all out there for the fans and collectors and this happens. There is so much shoddy items out there that get better support and this great line is dying. If you end up canceling this line then I will no longer collect. Single dad on disability with two children one who is a special needs child I have to be careful with my money, but I was willing to spend it on Craigs Six Million Dollar Man figures. One because I love the show. Two because these are awesome figures and three this was my only hope of ever getting a Death Probe. I know that some people will think I am over reacting but why give my support to companies that mostly do not really care about our input. If this does happen I will still watch these forums to see whats going on out there but the only thing that would get me back into the game is if Craig ever got classic Battlestar. So here's to things turning around before the end of July. Thanks again Craig for making two of the best action figures to come down the pike in a long while.

Thanks for the compliments and the kind words, they're greatly appreciated.

I'm as shocked and disappointed as anyone about how poorly this second wave has been received. The first wave did great, and the figures were almost double the price of the wave 2 figures. I've had people complaining that the figures in the second wave were too boring. Oscar Goldman and Rudy Wells are two of the main characters, the 7 Million Dollar Man and Mr X. were both fan favorites. I guess I'm in the minority but I don't think those are boring characters.

Regardless of why this has happened, it's not going to kill my enthusiasm for making action figures. I've got more cool projects in the works, some of which I'm doing on my own and some I'm doing with Cast-A-Way Toys.

Craig, any chance of maybe offering a two-pack consisting of Oscar and the planned khaki Steve Austin? I think the anchor of another Steve might boost interest.

Basically, I'm just trying to get khaki Steve made!

Hey Jeff. As much as I would like to make that happen it would cost too much to do it. I'd have to get another sculpt made of the Steve Austin figure and to me it would basically seem like throwing good money after bad.

Craig, would raising the price help with production costs on the pre-orders already made? I would not mind if you went with the original prices from wave 1 if that would help. I know that I said the only thing that would bring me back to collecting again would be if you got classic Galactica, but I think if you ever did any of the Irwin Allen shows that could also get me back (cough cough Lost In Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea cough cough). Thanks for your time.

Yeah, that sentiment really blows my mind, when people bought stupid Star Wars figures like Mon Mothma, Aunt Beru, Imperial Dignitary, etc.

[Remco Monster]

As much as I want all of these, and I pre-ordered three sets, I can sort of understand why people think they are boring. I have never had the desire for a Rudy Wells figure, and though Oscar is awesome, I never owned the vintage figure as a kid, or an adult , because yeah, he's just kinda boring. I think the wave would have been a bit more well received if Mr. X's removable face was shown, or at least mentioned in the assortment descriptions, because nobody wants a Mr. X that just looks like a human. 7 Million Dollar Man is a cool character, but throw him in with three other plain guys, and well, you know.

I think if this wave had been..

Steve Austin (khakis or astronaut)
Oscar
Mr. X
Fembot

..it would have been much more well received.

Then a third series with

Steve Austin (khakis or astronaut)
7 Million $ Man
Rudy Wells
Bionic Bigfoot (variant, battle damaged or something)

But I love these figures, and would buy any and all you make.

[Bionicfanboy66]

Battle damaged Steve Austin & bigfoot, anyone?

[amby87]

In my opinion, no matter how great these second series figures are (and they are great), I think you need to have at least one Steve Austin figure per wave to make this line work. I mean, he was the main protagonist of the show. I have several from the first wave and would love other versions of Steve in different outfits. This is by no means meant as a knock against Craig, just my unqualified opinion.

Wow, seriously sorry for U, its almost like U have a toy curse. I wasnt collecting these because of thier size, but still didnt stop me from appreciating the card art, and the style of the figure. U go out and release some amazing product, and it cant get passed the second round. Still kinda gutted about the "buck rogers" line, and definately narked off that we didnt get those "logans run" figures.

You know, I'm actually starting to think that myself.

Honestly though I'm not worried about it and I still stand by my character selection. I seriously doubt that adding another Steve Austin to the mix would have made that big of a difference, if any. People would have just wanted that one figure and let the rest be peg warmers, which still would have resulted in the line being canceled.

[Bionicfanboy66]

Thanks for getting at least three very well done figures in this line out there, Craig. Best wishes on the upcoming Action Man stuff.
