hellpop Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thing I remember the most about that show is that the starfighter was really cool. Hopefully that's on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviebabes Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 This is great news - I'll be chuffed to bits to get this set and any future releases from the 25th century. Space Vampire? Futuristic Disco Buck? I'm there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious Stranger Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Dare we hope for a Gary Coleman figure? I'm really excited for this. When I read "Buck Rogers" in the thread list I was expecting the classic pulp hero Buck that a lot of companies are doing now. I was all ready to post "this would have a lot more excitement if it was the TV series" and when I clicked in and read the release and saw the picture I almost cried. I'm in for a couple sets at least. Tiger Man! Mini Twiki! I can only hope that a second set will come with Dr. Huer, Hawk, "disco" Buck and Kane. A Starfighter would just be too much to hope for but man would it be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSTZach Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 'Bout time, DST has had this license in limbo for years. We had other plans for it. Minimates were never the focus. Also, we had other lines to work on that were more time-sensitive. We've discussed who would be in Set 2. This set is Season 1 focused.

karamazov80 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Show is before my time, but it's a very cool, left of field announcement. I like these figures quite a bit, and hope it finds an audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MINI_MYTE Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Who'd have thought that we'd all be the owners of a Gil Gerard minimate one day? Not this guy. Glad to see the minimate brand spreading like wild fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdubya Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thing I remember the most about that show is that the starfighter was really cool. Hopefully that's on the way. Hands-down the coolest-looking spaceship IMO! This, and a Draconian Marauder would be wonderful (and great for army-building Draconian Warriors). Hah, awesome! Hope we get a second set with Hawk at some point. Ha, I was going to say this exact same thing, he was my favorite! biddy biddy, gee Buck! I love this announcement! I'd love for Flash Gordan to be next! Hawk's costume was very cool. Flash Gordon Movie-'mates have been on my top-five list for quite some time and would translate beautifully in 'mate form. is this real??? holy fucksticks!!!!! I thought the same. In fact, I was afraid to click because I didn't want the same disappointment I experienced with the Planet of the Apes subject! This truly caught me off-guard; what a wonderful left-field surprise...bring it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tones Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 awesome news, this was on my want list from back in 2012 (along with View Askew and Kill Bill). i will be very happy to have these next to the classic BSG mates. too bad the vehicles seem to be over. hope we can get more than 1 set but i'll be thankful to get this one (multiples of course) . brings me back to my childhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdubya Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Please include helmets and an extra bun-hairpiece for Wilma! It would also be awesome if Dr. Theopolis were removable from Twiki's chest (an accessory for an accessory?!?...yes please).
