I really want the Rocketeer figure along with the Nazi trooper and the Nazi Rocketeer. Plus love the Tick and Grendel.

While I'm glad to see some independent comic characters finally get some new action figures (as far as I know, this is the first action figure of Cassie Hack ever... there was the Femmes Fatales PVC statue, but that's it as far as I know), I've to admit this retro format (this seems to be the new golden cow for companies) doesn't really excite me, especially at this price. I fondly remember Toybiz' Legendary Comic Book Heroes. A similar update at a reasonable price (and not 80+ euro like that Bloodshot fig) would have really gotten me excited. In this case I'll pass, as this is not my cup of tea and seems like easy, lazy money grabbing to me. :s

Fresh Monkey is also doing her in their Amazing Heroes line. I believe in wave 7.

We've all got our own spots of nostalgia (I legit dislike Kenner's Star Wars style that has single-handedly informed ReAction despite all the great work they did in the years before and after) but a new Legendary Heroes line... wouldn't that just be older style Marvel Legends, sans Marvel? It doesn't strike me as particularly retro to make the joints more visible and call it a day.
Don't get me wrong about nostalgia. I'm all about nostalgia and as a big GI Joe fan and collector (both vintage and modern) I love every new classic O-ring and 3.75/4 inch size project. I just don't get these 5 points of articulation style figs (admitted, a little more here, but you get my point). The only figures of that style I ever really liked where the classic Action Force ones from Palitoy, especially the Red Shadows. But nostalgia or no nostalgia, these days I simply see no reason anymore to make that style of figure... unless it's to cut down on costs and overprice them as seems to be the case here... personal opinion of course. :s |

I did order a few of these. Pricey but unique.

I really want a couple of these but will be moving at least once between order and release; does BBTS handle address changes well, like, will they confirm an address for a preorder before sending it?

Pretty Cool...
Wish they weren't 4.5/5 figs... 7" would be nice for me... However.... I'll get a "Rocket Man" ;^)
