I'm definitely late on this, but better now than never—Go Hero Toys is making a 12-inch Buck Rogers in the 25th Century figure, and it is fucking awesome. If the above pictures haven't convinced you, please read this list of features:
• Removable Flight Helmet w/ Die-cast Features
• Die-cast Atomic Disintegrator w/ Translucent Chamber
• Hand Crafted Wooden Box w/ Laser Etched Design
• Tailored Cloth Outfit w/ Jodhpurs, Knit Shirt, & Belt
• Gauntlet Glove Hands & Pair of Hands
• Space Helmet w/ Clear Bubble
• Die-cast Visor (Fits in 2 Positions)
• Jet Pack w/ Electronic LEDs
• Vest w/ Die-cast Emblem
• Go Hero's ATOM-EDIA Body*
• Boots & Socks
• Gun Holster w Strap
• Numbered C.O.A.
Uh...yeah. I hate it when toys wear better clothes than I do. Anyways, Buck will set you back $175, which isn't chump change, but it's very obvious where that money is going. You can sign up here for more info.

Wow, this is an incredible figure. I must say though that in the face he looks more like Julian Sands than Buster Crabbe, but still... wow.

Posted 07/17/2008 at 08:55:49 AMThat was....completely unexpected o_O! Gorgeous...
Posted 07/17/2008 at 03:55:28 PMIsn't this the one that will also have an MP3 player in the torso pre-loaded with the Buck Rogers radio dramas? I thought that's what the guy at their booth at WWChicago told me. Or...hopefully I did not just reveal something confidential.
