Twisted Two-Face Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 As someone who doesn't like Firefly or Rocketeer, God damn if I don't need both of those. Funko knows what they're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 All those Magic the Gathering figures selling for eight bucks would probably disagree, but these are all winners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I only picked up the SWB 6" Han Solo to set up on the shelf next to Malcolm Reynolds. If that Cantina dio box set wasn't all cardboard I'd have gotten it to display them on. Gonna be in for that whole Firefly series for sure. Got the wife's approval and everything.

TENIME_art Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I can't wait to have Han, Mal, and Quill all hangin' around together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 TNI has some pics of Firefly and Rocketeer Legacy figures. The Fifefly likenesses are pretty good, better than I expected, except for Kaylee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have received my Firefly figures from Amazon. They don't feel quite as fragile as the first wave of GoT figures but I'm still a little gun shy with these. Need to do some boiling and de-warping of some limbs and to free up a couple joints. Some minor paint issues. Overall I'm glad to have them and I can't wait to set up Mal and Han together on the shelf (once I de-warp Mal's legs).

Zak Katz Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I saw Rocketeer at TRU, looked pretty cool, and it was only $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stack32 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It was $19.99 at my local TRU. Picked one up and I'm pretty happy with it. The joints are clear plastic so I held by breath as I removed it from the package and posed it in a way I was happy with but everything seems okay. They didn't paint the clear pins at the knees so that looks odd. The jacket color seems too light to me as well. Otherwise it's a nice figure. The helmet is a separate head instead of a piece fitting over the regular head which I think is a great choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogi Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 We just got the Rocketeer figures at our TRU's this weekend. I like the figure alright, but it feels like it needs a little more for the price. (I don't know if that's because I remember paying $7 for Marvel Legends or not ) I kinda wish the helmet was a helmet, but then it would probably look too large (Or Cliff's head would be too small) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 I got mine in the mail a few days ago (my second one, actually, as the first one broke due to those brittle joints). I love the figure, love the sculpt, but I agree that he could use a bit more bang for the buck. He really needs a second set of hands, for one thing. I'm not usually a fan of multiple hands, since you can only display one set and the others inevitably get lost, but in his case he needs closed fists. The whole gimmick of the rocket pack is that the controls are in his hands, so he needs closed fists to look like he's flying. Despite that quibble, and the fact that he feels very brittle, I love him and I'm soooooooo happy to finally have a Rocketeer figure after all these years. I can remember the first time I ever saw the Rocketeer: I was perusing the comics at my local Waldenbooks, and they had some of those old oversize graphic novels, including the Eclipse Rocketeer graphic album. I didn't buy it that day, but it made quite an impression on me (particularly Betty's bare rear ). It's probably the first time I became aware of comics outside of Marvel and DC. Anyway, go buy the figure! Go buy Dave Stevens collected Rocketeer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I just picked up The Rocketeer from my LCS ($22.99!) and he's lovely... with the exception of a missing firearm. How helpful is Funko's customer service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellpop Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 No idea, but I still have the broken one (TRU sent me a replacement and I haven't shipped the first one back), so if you send me your address I'll be happy to drop the gun from it in the mail.

MisterPL Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 PM sent! Thanks! One thing I noticed about the packaging is that it wasn't taped shut. This is my very first Funko toy so I'm not sure if that's part of the collector-friendly nature of the packaging or a production error.
